Affirmed.
Baskin, Dodge, Baskin & Eastus, of Ft. Worth, for appellant. Marshall Spoonts, Co. Atty., W. R. Parker, Asst. Co. Atty., S. J. Cal-laway, Asst. Co. Atty., and Turner, Cummings & Doyle, all of Ft. Worth, and E. B. Hendricks, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

Opinion:
DAVIDSON, P. J.
This conviction was for violation of article 392, P. C., wherein appellant was convicted for exhibiting in a place of amusement a moving picture show on Sunday. The majority of the court have held the law constitutional and valid in the Zucarro Case, 197 S. W. 982, this day decided. I do not believe the decision correctly decides the law, but the majority have held the other way, and in obedience to their finding, this judgment will be affirmed.
