CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS MUST
PLAY SAFE WITH FILMS

Chicago churches and schools will
not be allowed to run movie shows
without licensed operators and a
booth for the machine, such as is
held as necessary safety in precau-
| tons in theaters. The aldermanic
committee considering the request
of the ministers for the right to run
movie shows voted in the negative,
to 4.
Union men protested. They in
sisted the non-inflammable films the
| churches promised to run were in
flammable, further that they were
exceedingly expensive and would last
only two or three weeks, so that the
!, ministers would soon be ringing in
infiammable films on their shows.
The moving picture operators
union has a standing offer to let
schools and churches have licensed
union operator; free of charge, any
time they need one.
