NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

William B. Drexler '55, president of the Boston Cinema Society, announced yesterday that Charlie Chaplin's Academy Award winning movie "The Circus" will be shown today and tomorrow at the Fine Arts Theater in place of "Birth of a Nation."

Featured with "The Circus" will be "Boundary Lines," a short film that won an anti-prejudice prize for its portrayal against racial discrimination.
