motion picture theatre was order
ed by the u. S. District Court
for the Eastern District of Pa.
to pay a total Of $4,000 damages
and two police officers were or
dered to pay $4,000 each to three
Negroes they arrested for refus-
ing to bow to the theatres dis
criminatory practices.
Receiving the damage awards
were Luther Manning, Archibald
Scales and Vernell Dieudonne
who in 1850, while students at
Lincoln university, attempted to
sit in a section of the Oxford
theatre reserved for white pa
irons. The manager had t h N
arrested by two policemen for
refusing to sit in a section set a.
side for Negroes
In ordering the manager and
the two police officers to pay
damages to the students, the court
ordered the theatre to refrain
from interfering with their right
under the Pennsylvania Civi
Rights Law to sit in any portion
of the theatre open to the public
At the conclusion of its opinion
