Fairfield. March ia movie and

were both inaugurared Sunday ana
the result of the former venture is be-

est. Fairfield has never allowed
theaters or the moving picture shows
to operate on Sunday in the past.
Recently there has been much dis.
cussion of the subject of Sunday en-.
tertainment and accordingly one OF
the local movie proprietors announced
two shows for Sunday afternoon. Both
were attended by an audience that
taxed the capacity Of the theater. One
block away a church service was con.
ducted, being part Of campaign
which started at the morning service.
The Sunday movie is being con.
demned and upheld and there is con
siderable speculation as to whether or
not the churchgoing people OF the
city will ask that the theater remain
closed on Sunday.
