DECISION MAY CLOSE

Justice Fawcett UphOldS Law
Forbidding Paid Film Shows
on Sabbath.

The much agitated but recently dor
mant question Of whether sunday motion
picture exhibitions TO which an admis-
sion fee is charged. are permissible
In this State was answered negatively
in Brooklyn yesterday. when Justice
Fawcett. In the Supreme Court. dis
missed write OF h sbeas corpus
by which Nathan Goldstein. proprietor
of the Palace Theatre at Patchogue. l..
l., had hoped to prove his arrest there
on June was illegal.
Justice Fawcett declined to pass upon
the question OF whether the arrest OF
Goidstein was valid, but in refusing to
sustain the writ and recommending
that Goldstein should make his appeal
to the Court of Appeals. he left open the
way for the police authorities on all OF
Long Island, including Brooklyn and
Coney Island 10 close motion picture
theatres on sundays for the rest Of the
summer.
The decision shocked the movie
theatre proprietors at Coney Island and
other summer resorts on Long Island.

Sunday crowds
Cooler heads in the movie industry,
however. took the situation little more
philosophically. They predicted the po-

Themselves enforcing Sunday laws about
the legality of which there is a ques-
ton.
In any event. they said. Injunction
and other remedial proceedings were
available for the protection of theatre
proprietors until a decision can be OBJ
tanned
Goldstein's arrest was based upon the
Sunday amusement law which little
more than year ago caused STIR
among movie folk when an adverse de-
cisIon was rendered by an upstate JUS
tice following the arrest Of a theatre pro-
prietor who kept his place open on Sun
day. A Statewide agitation was launched

HEARST A PUZZLE
TO STATE LEADERS
Editor Seeks to Be Dictator,
Old Politicians Say.

II was a matter OF much speculation
among Democrats yesterday as to Just
how serious were the designs of William
Randolph Hearst on the Democratic
nomination for Governor. Some of the
older politicians. those who have been
watching the political man9uvres OF the
editor for many years, expressed the be-
lief that while he had designs on the
nomination he did not desire to run
himself. but rather to place himself in
the position of being able to dictate to
the leaders in their selection of a can
didate and the drafting of the platform.
There is no doubt, however. that MIR.
Hearsts friends are doing everything in
their power to make 1t appear that he
will be a contender for the nomination,
but the politicians are trying to find the
man he has decided would be acceptable
to him. Some guessed that 1t was Rep
resentative George r. Lunn of Schenec-
tady.
~ Mr.. Lunn is acceptable TO Mr..
Hearst II may be possible to persuade
those who oppose the editor to agree to
the Schenectady Congressman. He pos
sesses two OF the advantages that the
candidate seekers have considered es-
sential. He is a good double listed de-
batter and an orator of considerable
1OTCe. Inc democrats DelltNc tndt tNelT
candidate will have to run against Gov.
Whitman. and they want man who
can compete with him on the stump.
And Representative Lunn IL highly
thought OF by the Administration in
Washington.
Hope for Wilson's Approval.
The Democratic State leaders are
hoping that they will be able 10 get some
word of approval for their ticket from
the President. II he should refuse to
take hand in the situation an attempt
will be made to get some of the Cabinet
members to lend the weight OF their ap-
proval of the Democratic ticket here.
Representative Iunn stands high on
the list prepared by the committee OF
forty-two which has been engaged in
canvassing the sentiment of the up-
State Democrats Next TO Mayor Harry
c. Walker Of Binghamton and Alfred L,
Smith. President OF the Board OF Alder
men. Mr.. Lunn Is most talked about In
upstate circles.
Those who are booming Hearst arc
circulating a story that at a recent din
Ger in Washington George Harvey ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr. Hearst
could be nominated and elected Governor
this year. Others are being quoted as
believing he would make strong can
didate.
Although It is believed that Charles
Francis Murphy would feel he could no,
well oppose the political ambitions Of
the editor. and John II. McCooey, the
Kings county leader has said he could
not AFFORD to withhold his appreciation
OF the support given to his tickets by
Hearst in past years. the upstate Demo
Gratis declare they will never consent t
Hearsts nomination.

ward and divided themselves into
groups Of two TO take charge Of each

were invited to bring their young emil

Cross chapter did its work.
With the help of some of the Older
high school girls a regular play ground
scheme was organized in addition to
the nursery work. Specific games and
stories were prepared for each after
noon. A special theme was chosen
each time and the story and games for
that day emphasized the better values
of that theme. Habit formation was
carefully emphasized by these girls in
charge and before the summer was
over many children had gained princi.
