Controversial Film 'Henry V' Returned

A skillfully contrived scheme to make money from a "non-profit" showing Shakespeare's Henry V with Sir Lawrence Olivier came to an abrupt stop yesterday. The pirated film was on its way back to New York.

Two individuals, LeRoy Huntington '53 and G. Fred Geisler, reportedly persuaded John Gilbert '57 to secure the film under the guise that the showing was for charitable purposes.

Gilbert, treasurer of Ivy Films, told the CRIMSON last night that he had received notice that "Geisler had sent the film back to the owners."
