Reminded That Receipts OF Sunday
Performances are for Charity.


Charity is the best policy for the
owners Of moving picture houses. as
Mayor Breitmeyer and City Treasurer
Koch see il. The mayor wrote a cir
cular letter 10 the nickelodeon meu,
Jan. 25. calling attention TO the state
law forbidding theatrical performance
on Sunday except for charitable pur-
poses and suggesting that the moving
picture men donate a portion of theic
Sunday and holiday receipts TO the
city charity fund. as do The owners
of the big theaters.
Since then most OF the nickelodeons
have been regular contributors 10 the
fund each week, the donations run
ming from $40 down. Some OF the
little theaters are missing in the lis,
however, and Treasurer Koch is list
ing them with a view to getting after
them to enforce the exercise OF more
charitable inclinations on their part.
