TRENTON THEATRES
DEFY SUNDAY LAW
Cut Out Fiddling and Dancing
and Thus Avert
Arrests.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
TRENTON. Aug. 2S.-Disregarding the
ancient blue laws of New Jersey with
their penalty of a dollar fine each for
engaging in worldly amusements on the
Sabbath day more than half the moving
picture houses in this city, Including
the three largest theatres. gave per-
formances this afternoon and tonight.
The initial performances, most OF which
were literally attended mark the open
ing of a fight between the theatrical
managers and the churches with the
municipal authorities divided on the
question.
Policemen were stationed IN all the
theatres under special instructions to
observe and report on what took place.
and also to put a stop to "fiddling and
dancing" two OF the worldly amusements
specifically prohibited by the blue laws,
and therefore within the summary juris-
diction Of the police. There was no
fiddiing and no dancing and therefore no
arrests, though, If successful in main
tanning the motion pictures, 1t Is the
announced intention OF some of the
theatrical managers to add vaudeville
acts to the Sunday programmes.
IT is anticipated that the managers
Of the various theatres will be sum
inoned into police court tomorrow. and
they will probably be fined 81 each, the
maximum penalty, unless some other
law. or possibly municipal ordinance.
is invoked. An appeal will be taken
Immediately TO test the proceedings in
the court.
Criticism of the Sunday movies was
general In the pulpts Of the city to-day.
In the Catholic churches the appeal was
made as a personal one to members or
the church to refrain from attending
the performances. but in most OF the
Protestant churches more militant at
titude was assumed. The Interchurcn
Federation announced that Immediate
action would be taken in the courts.
