object Of obtaining permission from

Originally the picture palaces were
allowed to give Sunday performances

is no longer any prctence Of this. yet It
may be extremely difficult to close
them, as they have become an accepted

therefore, the police are strongly in
favor of allowing them to continue.

The leading part is splendidly played
by NJ. de Max, who scored great sue

Nine Daniel Lesueur alone among
