governing sunday performances said that lHe
ordinance Of the Board of Aldermen was ih'a"d
IN his opinion. as the Penal Code provided a
similar penalty
The reason for the action Of Justice Green
baun1 was that the aIdcrmantc ordinance re-
enacted the provisions of the Penal Code. He
said in his decision that he could not under
stand why the Board of Aldermen sought I"
rc-enact a law already tn" statute books
His decision was similar 10 that rendered by
Justice BischoT in case by the city against
Hurtig & Seamou. practically putting up to the
police and District Attorney the enforcement OF
the law against Sunday performances The
ordinance is" said Justice Grcenhaum. "to my
mind a futile and abortive effort and of no
validity"
This decision by Justice Grecnbaum regarding
Sunday shows takes their regulation out OF the
hands of the Mayor The District Attorney and
the Police Commissioner are now in charge Of
the enforcement If the statutes.
