ARE NOT M0LESTED
PICTURE SHOWS OF NEW YORK ALL
 OPEN SUNDAY.
Nearly All Give Nodded Entertainment, To Cohform With the sunday
 Law Not Covered in the s.Ns Iniune4l0nas

New York, Dec. 27-Protected from interference by a Supreme Court in- junction, practically all of New York's five hundred and more moving picture exhibition places were today in full operation, despite the revocation of their licenses by Mayor Mcclellan on Christmas Eve. Most of them were fa- vored with the customary Sunday pat ronage, the heaviest of the week.
 There was no sign of any disposition on the part of the police to interfere. hut their proprietors generally eiimin- ated views which the authorities could m any way consider objectionable. Tn nearly all of them, too. lectures were delivered with a view to bringing the performances within the interpretation of the Sunday law, as laid down by the corporation counsels opinion rendered Yesterday. which placed lectures "of an Educational character, illustrated by moving pictures" on the permitted list.
 Police Commissioner Binghan's act- ion. in warning the proprietors of vau- deviIfe house. that they must live strictly up to the Sunday observance law had the effect of greatly modifying the character of the oiils m all the houses which open their doors for sunday Concerts"
 The real fight for the closing of the cheap moving picture places Is sched- uied to begin in the Supreme. Court to- morrow. Injunctions granted on Satur- dav by Superior Justice Gaynor, pro- hiblted the police from interfering with the exhibitions last night and today, and required Mayor Mcclellan to show cause on Monday why his order should not he rescinded. The show managers and others financially interested have formed an organization. and, 1t is stated, raised a large fund with which i'd resist the move against them
 (reanizations of clergymen and others are arrayed on Mayor Meclel- lan's side.
 There was one arrest today of nov ins. picture show proprietor. Morris T,anter charged with exhibiting an ob- iectionable picture at his place on the Bowery.

 Even the older citizens are willing to admit that the greater part of Mont sonnery'st present remarkable growth has conie during the past ten years. It has been remarkable era for Montg6fnery: few cities in the length of one decade have done so much. and certainty no city of Montgomery's class in the South has eauaiied it.

He found everything changed: towering business brilliantly -lighted streets. beautiful homes surrounded with park-like grass plots and trees lining long avenues of residence districts, and business men throngipg her busipess sections.
