What do you suppose would happen
If Frank zehrung bccarle mayor Of
Omaha as we'll as manager of our le2l-
ing theater? Would he close up The
Brandeis on Sunday nights, and endeaNor
TO close the other houses? His views
on this question as expressed in Lipco'n
might vary from his views as applied
to Omaha, but this is how the Lincoln
Journal Of last Friday quotes him on the
subject of the Sunday night theator.
Ever since the manager of the oliver
theater was elected mayor OF Lincoln,
an occasional prediction has been made
by somebody that the city government
would sooner or later be brought
around TO the idea Of permitting :he
opening of the theaters on Sunday.
When Mayor Zehrung said the other
day that he saw nothing wrong in per-
hitting ball to he played at the nj street
park on Sunday 1t was again suggested
that this was merely the opening wedge
to the Sunday theater. Mayor Zehfung
said yesterday that first, last and all
the time" he opposed Sunday thoRters in
Lincoln and hoped that his position
would be so well established that no.
body would attempt TO create the i'm
preston that he was seeking sunday
ball in order to secure an extension OF
his own business.
IT am opposed to opening my theater
on Sunday" he said for three rea-
sons. First, am satisfied that the peo-
pie Of Lincoln do not want sunday the
aters. Second, personally, / don't want
to work more than six days week.
When Sunday comes / prefer TO do some
thing else than spend my time around
the theater. Third, my Investigations
show me that in towns the size of Lin
coin no more money is taken in in seven
DAYS than i'm six. For financial reasons
as well as personal reasons and in defer
ence to what / am sure is the sentiment
. he /
posed TO changing the present arrange
ment'
tinued, that the company in which l
am interested does operate few sun
day theaters. In every case we inherited
a Sunday condition and did not create
it. Omaha, as most or your readers
know, has been a Sunday town for forty
years When I secured a half interest
in the Brandeis theatcr, | did not feel
like imposing my personal views on my
partner and upon the community ana
let the old ARRANGEMENT stand. In To-
peka and Wichita we have no Sunday
theaters because, like Lincoln, those are
not Sunday towns. Baseball appeals to
me as being an entirely different propo-
sition than the theater. Like sunday
band concerts and other outdoor amuse-
ments, II seems TO me entirely proper
for Sunday afternoon II II is played at
all, | can't see why Il should not be
brought to the NJ street park"
II Is well known in theatrical circles
that while Manager Zehrung is and al
ways has been opposed to opening his
theater on Sunday. other managers do
not look upon the question in the same
Hight This Is especially true Of the
motion picture people. who feel that they
could increase their revenue 20 con-
siderable degree by operating seven days
in the week. They are expected to use
the success OF the base ball referendum
to ask for similar concessions on behalf
OF their business.
