Ben E. Rich, letter to the First Presidency, 23 February 1912, 5 pp., says: "The Great Northern Company, which is responsible for the film 'Victim of the Mormons,' is using the protests made against the film as an advertisement. From a rumor that reached me only today, it appears that the Nation Board [of Censorship] has 'crawfished' on its decision with regard to the Great Northern film 'Victim of the Mormons.' Report reaches me that it is being exhibited in all the states where the company had made contracts before the Board's action in disapproving it. It seems on good authority that the Board merely ordered that all suggestion of force on the part of the Mormon and struggle on the part of the girl be removed. The name continues the same."
