MOVING PICTURES ON SUNDAY
EDITOR EVENING NEWS.

EDlTOR NEWS:
vacation time is over; mountain
and shore resorts are closing; fall
and winter approach. and every sew
enth day a Sunday. How shall these
Sundays be spent?
Everywhere we hear the COM
plant that in Perth Amboy there is
no place to go on Sunday, not even
a moving picture theatre. Why not?
Why does this obey to the letter
this particular Blue law and utterly
disregard others? Who is RESPONSE
BILE for this condition be it good or
bad? Is it the powers enthroned at
City Hall? Is it the churches? Is
1t the merchants? Does anybody
know? Can anybody give a really
sound, convincing reason against
this particular form of Sunday en-
tertainment?
Is the movie" classed with the
saloon? Is it just bad enough to be
countenanced only six days? Must
the people have one days respite
from its evil influences? Are Sun
day pictures worse than baseball,
or football? Does the Sunday bans
keep any money in town? Does 1t
keep none in the pockets of the
people Sunday, which Monday they
will give to the butcher and baker?
Does it help the police preserve law
and order? Does it send people to
church and put more coin on the
meeting house collection plate?
We are asking these questions. not
answering them. We are seeking
information.
The argument advanced by some
that there is a law against public
entertainments on Sunday Is not an
exactly fair reason for their sup
preston.
There is not much doubt but that

a perfect gentleman where ladies
were concerned. Usually h neither
smoked, drank, nor used bad Ian
guage. In his exceptionally mixed
character lay the strongest appeal to
boyish minds. There are preiudiced,
narrow souls who would suppress
the movie if they could just as
they would have suppressed the old
dime novel, but it is our thought
that the picturetold story, as did
its prototype, helps \ hundred
where it Injuries one.
Would you rather have your
daughter, or somebody else's daugh-
ter, sitting quietly in a theatre
Sunday afternoon or roaming the
streets? Do you prefer that your
boy wiles away the time playing
crap with all that naturally goes
with a crap" game? The %silliest
picture has some good points and a
