PLEA FOR MOVING
PICTURE SHOWS
PROVES USELESS
Montclair Council Refuses Even
\ Trial Performances to Rec
reation Company.

councilman Charles II. Hartshorne.
chairman of the police committee of the
Montclair Town Council, made a spe-
cial plea before the council last night.
which lasted two hours and ten min
utes, in favor of granting a three
months license to the Peoples Recrea-
ton Company, of New York, to operate
a motion picture show in Montclair, but
failed to get a majority of the mem
bers to sanction it. although he sue
ceeded in changing the minds of two
members who had voted against grant
ing licenses for picture shows two
weeks ago.
Mr.. Hartshorne brought the matter
before the council by reading a letter
from the Rev. DR.. Josiah Strong, presi-
dent of the Social Centre Association.
of New York. which is the parent body
of the Peoples Recreation Company.
DR.. Strong offered to run an open-air
motion pirture show in Montclair
during June, July and August, which
would give the people Of Montclair an
opportunity to decide whether such a
show was desired or not. If it was
iohiiu tidt tlS people SellSIdlly ldNOTeu
1t the company would erect a suitable
fireproof building, capable of seating
1000 people, and In connection with the
moving pictures, would establish a
social centre" in the building, which
would consist of reading rooms, pool
rooms, dance hall and other amuse-
nents. all of which would be main
tanned out of the earnings of the mo-
ton picture show.
No Profits Desired.
1t was Gained that no profits were
desired. DR.. Strong's communication
also stated that he made the applica-
ton because he had received several
communications from residents Of
Montclair, deploring the action of the
council in voting against granting his
company a license at it's last meeting.
Mr.. Hartshorne did not present the ap-
plication for action, but said II a ma
jority Of the councilmen showed a
willingness to vote for it he would
present 1t.
There were only ten members pres
ent. including the mayor, Councilman
McGlynn, who is against granting a
license for picture shows, being absent.
Councilmen Schoonmaker and Wrensch.
who voted against the proposition two
weeks ago, favored a license for the
three summer months as a trial. Coun-
cilmen Henney, Harris. Bedford, Far
rington n Senior declared that their
minds had not changed and that they
would oppose granting a license. Coun-
Gilman Harris evidently fearing that
the granting of a license might carry,
asked for an executive session. After
a half-hour the councilmen returned
and Mr.. Hartshorne stated that as a
majority of. the council seemed to be
against the granting of a license to
anyone to operate motion picture shows
he would not present the application.

CONGRESSMAN KINKEAD TO
HELP OUT KEARNYITES.
Inspectors to Look Over West
Hudson POst0ffice Middle.

Congressman Eugene C. Kinkead has
assured lower-end Kearnyites that he
will get two United States postoffice in
spectors from Washington to visit the
town and make a final study OF the
field and report upon the same before
the July l order takes effect a~boiishing
the Arlington postoffice and decreeing
that all the mall of, the town of Kear-
ny shall pass, through a Kearny
branch Newark postoffice. This in
formation was communicated last night
by Thomas T. Adam, as secretary of
the recent public meeting, to an as
semblage of lower-end citizens who
had gathered in the exempt firemen's
house to heal the report vi the com
mittee sent to confer with the Airing
ton committee. James B. Wylie pre-
sided.
1t was stated that the Arlington
committee would not listen to reason
at all, but insisted that Arlington
should nave a postoffice or at least a
branch station named after 1t, while
the lower-end committee held out for
a postoffice, or at least a branch sta
ton named Arlington. even the latter
was to be ignored by the government.
Finally resolutions were adopted
commencing the stand taken by the
lower-end committee, and again In
dorsing the governments action in
recognizing Kearny's existence. Chair
man Wylie was directed to appoint a
committee to meet the postal inspect
ors and guide them Alright, for there is
danger lest they fall into the hands OF
an Arlington delegation.
