MOVIES In ATLANTA
MAY RUN ON SUNDAY

Atlanta, Ga, June 21.-Atlanta
may have motion pictures on Sunday
emphasis being a necessary on the
May
A movement was started here yes
terday, which promoters believe will
be received with more general favor
or rather less ministerial disfavor
than previous efforts to give the
people recreation on the Sabbath, and
submitted to the Atlanta Ministerial
Association for their study.
1t provides that the theatrers shall
be turned over to an outside COM
mittee of responsible and reputable
citizens to be operated at nominal
admission price of ten cents on Sun
day; that the money received shall
go first toward paying the actual
cost of operation and then to some
worthy ublic object, such as parts
of Fairgrounds or hospitals; and that
there be a censorship of the films
above and beyond that of the usual
weekday runs.
One of the principal objections to
motion pictures on Sunday hitherto
has been that they were proposed
more from the motive of gain than
from public welfare.
The new suggestion has met with
enough favor to warrant its serious
consideration by the ministers, who
are cooperating with the man be-
hind the enterprise sufficiently to
entertain it seriously.
