 Plainville will have moving pie l lures on Sunday hereafter as q result
 Of votes cast by the legal voters of | the town who turned out en masse
 last night and cast their ballots on
 the question. There was total of
 224 votes cast and of these, there
 were l4s for the movies and but IS
 against them. The balloting started
 at 730 o'clock and the last one was thrown into the box shortly before 9
 o'clock, The hall was so crowded
 that the people had to wait for fully
 an hour before those ahead of them | moved forward step or two as the
 ones casting their votes were let out
 the back way Of the hall
 That the women of the town were deeply interested in the matter was easily seen as there were equally as
 many of them at the hall as there were men. And they voted too, just now is not known, but judging from the majority of ballots cast for the pictures, it is believed they were in favor.
 The check list was used on the vot- CTS and John E. Lamb and Peter Duffy were in charge of this work
 Edward Aspinall was chairman of the meeting and was commended on his excellent judgment in running the affair. Edward P. Prior, John Ives and Merritt o. Ryder were tellers. The long expected debates on the question were not heard, much to the disappointment of many who had just attended to hear the arguments presented. When the meeting started at 7:30 o'clock, Chairman Aspinall started the baloting immediately as the hall was so crowded that there was not enough room to turn around. This cut short any arguments on the matter and from the start everything moved smoothly and like cockwork until the minutes of counting the bal lots came.
 During the time the tellers were busy, the crowds awaited outside the hall, inside the court room, in the corridors and on the stairs until the final verdict was received. There was much enthusiasm displayed when the tellers announced that Plainviile resi- dents had favored operating pictures on Sunday but this enthusiasm was only shown by those who had voted for it. The party who had opposed the pictures, numbering 76, did not display such a cheerful expression and it was not difficult matter to pick them out from the others.
 Some grumbing was heard that the town was going to the dogs" and the people did not known what they were doing and other remarks at taclsing those who favored the enter tainment feature on the Sabbath.
