SHOWS PROGRESS OF FILMS
New York Court Holds Playhouse 10
Now Flrst-Class
rheater.

New York.-The coming of motion
pictures has resulted in an evolution
of the theatrical business to such an
extent, according to court decision
announced here, that theater holding
continuous performances of high-grade
film pictures and musical numbers
may be regarded as frst-class play
house in every respect. The state
supreme court, in the decision, denied
the application of the owners Of a
Broadway theater for an Injunction re-
straining the leasing company from
operating continuous performances at
popular motion-picture prices. The
Injunction was asked on the ground
that the theater was not operated by
the lessee as q first-class playhouse.
