SUNDAY MOVIES
FROWNED UPON
West Orange Improvement AS
ISOLATION Has Tilt Over
Proposal.

4 tilt over the question OF reopen
ing motion pictures on Sunday in
West Orange enlivened a meeting
OF the Fifth Ward Improvement As
ISOLATION of that town last night.
For lack Of support a motion to ask
the Town Council to lift the ban on
Sunday amusements of this sort was
lost.
The discussion received its impetus
when Joseph Horn, one of the most
active members, moved the appoint
ment of a committee to confer with
the owners and managers of tho
towns movie houses on the ques-
ton of exhibiting educational films
OF the Sabbath. He urged that the
Town Council also be approached
with a request that Sunday enter
tainment OF this kind be permitted If
the owners agree to devote half Of
the profits derived from such per-
formances to charity
No one seemed disposed to sec
ond Mr.. Horns motion, and there was
a pause until Joseph Stevens arose
and said he hoped sincerely that Mr.
Horns motion would not be Sec
onded. IF such a committee were
appointed, it would be a committee
of degradation" ne declared en-
phatically. 1T would be a commit
tee formed to violate the laws of
this State the laws of this town.
and the laws of common decency,"
he continued.
School Commissioner James T. B.
Lehman, as well as several others,
also voiced protests, declaring that
the Town Council had already
banned Sunday motion pictures be-
cause it was alleged, the propri1 tors
had failed to live up TO their agree
ment concerning charitable contribu
lions
Determined not to let his motion
be lost without a fight however, Mr..
Horn again sought the floor and pre-
luded his plea by taking a shot at
the DIRECTORS.
Some people here don't seem 10
have the best interests of the town
at heart at all he cried This pro-
position is sound: it has been tried
in other municipalities, and it should
work here" he declared. II do not
intend to withdraw my motion, and
can only regret that it is not sec
Onded "
