MOVIES TO COME
UNDER THE BAN
Of BLUE LAW
Mayor Cherrington Seeks 10
Close Picture Shows on
Sundays.
MAKES THREAT or GRAND JURY

This morning Mayor Cherrington
and City Attorney Tupper served no
tice on the management of the Ma
jestic and Crystal theaters. that they
must not open their houses for bust
ness next Sunday or any following
Sunday.
The order is given with an inti-
nation that II the theaters did open
next Sunday the management would
be indicted by the grand jury.
The order is given on short notice,
no opportunity being given the the
aters to arrange reduction of ex-
pensss even II it we're necessary TO
Close on Sunday
The Sentinel contends that the or
der Ia unJustified. unjust, unre2son-
able and to our mind La issued pri-
marily with the desire on the part OF
the city administration to start
something new.
We are opposed to the order and
VIC do not believe that public senti-
ment will support this drastic order
Issued by the mayor and city attor-
ney. We are not surprised at the city
attorney, but We are somewhat sur
prised at the mayor.
The Majestic and Crystal theaters
are two of the highest class, best
conducted and most orderly moving
picture houses in the country Man
ayer Wilson OF the Majestic and
Manager Walker of the Crystal, are
business men and citizens OF high
standing and each OF them have
taken pride In maintaining q snlep-
did standard for his house. The
very best picture service is given,
nothing cheap or Objectionable can
be offered in this line in these the
aters. There is nothing in the per-
formaDce any day at any of these
theaters that is immoral or question
able .a4
The Sentinel does not believe that
the permitting of theater like one
OF these to operate on Sunday has a
tendency to corrupt the morals OF
any one. These two theaterS have
operated in this city on Sundays for
a number of years and we have new
or. up to this time been convinced
that any harm has come from their
operation. As long as these theaters
run moving pictures only and MAIN
tain the high standard they are
maintaining we do not believe there
Ia the slightest justification for any
such attempt TO close them on Sun
days as il now being made by these
There is great portion of our
people employed in the shops and
and other plants that
have no time for recreation except on
Sundays and we believe II would be
working an unnecessary inconveni-
ence on these people to close the
theaters on Sundays.
II they are forced to remain closed
on Sunday these two houses will suf-
fer heavy financial loss and at the
same time will be unable to reduce
their expenses to any material eX-
tent as they could not get reductions
on rentals. film service. etc.
We do not believe the order should
have been issued and believe 1t is
most untimely and unwise.
