INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1O-Joy in
the hearts of Sunday pleasure seekers
of Indiana may be turned into gloom
| when the Sunday theater and amuse-
ment bill sponsored by Senator Gear
ing of indianapolis, comes up for
final passage this week
The Gearing measure, which would
, legalize moving pictures, concert and
theatrical performances between the
hours of / p. m. and II p. m. on
Sundays has been favorably reported
| by the Public Morals committee of the
| Senate, and was generally considered
to be on the highway to success when
ministers of the gospel and other ad-
vocates of strict Sabbath observance
started agitation against it.
Nasty rumors concerning the per.
nicious activity of moving picture
show lobbyists are rife. Suggestions
of public indignation meetings We're
numerous, not alone in indianapolis
/ but throughout the state, according to
reliable reports.
The proposal to amend the state
law regarding the sale of liquor on hol
! idays in a manner to make the Fourth
of July, Labor Day and certain other
legal holidays wide open" for the sa
loonists and their patrons intensified
the feeling of the so-called straight
laced" citizens, particularly because il
was introduced at nearly the same
time as the Sunday theater bill, and
by the same author, Gearing.
1t is pointed out that the bill passed
several years ago legalizing Sunday
!, baseball encountered a strenuous op
position, and as a retalitory movement
now against the new measure a threa
has been thrown out that efforts will
be made to have the Sunday baseball
measure repealed.
1t is argued by the ants that hal
must be called sooner or later and tn
present time offers a golden opportuni
: ty to come back at the alleged Sur
day Dissertation element.

AS a result OF the school work
