Effort to Settle Sunday Movie
Question to Be Made This Week
The hope to bring about an and
to the Sunday moving picture ques
tion that has held the spot-light for
the past several weeks as one of
the strong** controversies yet to
arise In Milled—viRa was strength
ened tikis weak whan Mayor J. A.
committee of dtiams to cooler with
Mr. Roy Martin president of the
Martin Theaters, owners of the
Campus, local theatre.
Mr. Martin wUl come to Milledge
ville and diatom the matter with
the local dtixens who have urged
that Sunday movies be discontinued
because of the large number of
young people who are here as stu
dents
The City Council Monday night
heard both advocates for and against
Sunday movies before taking action
on a city ordinance that would ben
the showing of moving pictures on
Sunday.
Col. Joe Jenkins. Dr. Guy Wells,
Col. Erwin Sibley and Mr. J. L. Sib
ley appeared before council to urge
an ordinance prlhibiting the show
ing of the pictures on Sunday. They
stressed the fheft that the studen
life in MUledgeville made necessary
the protection against the sabbath
violation and asked the council to
pass an ordinace that would stop
Sunday pictures.
c. B. McCullar and Cason Black
asked the council not to take the
action and pointed out that" Sunday
movies were a benefit instead of a
harm. Mrs. McCullar appeared be
fore the Legion Auxiliary urg
ed that his organization decline to
aponaor Sunday movies, the auxili
ary voted to take over, and until the
question is settled, win receive the
profits from the Sunday picture
show.
The committee to be named by
Mayor Horne wiU ask Mr. Marita
to settle the question by rlnMng his
show on Sunday. Manager Rank IX
Adams said Mr. Martin would come
here within the next lew days to
talk with citizens. It Is understood
that the council will be asked to
enforce a "Blue Sunday" law if the
picture show is closed and require
all places of buxine— to dose their
doors on Sunday.
The Sunday movie question erose
a few weeks ago when the Red
Cross voted to sponsor Sunday
movies as s means cf raising fund*
for the community chest. The ques
tion became so heated that t*e Jfa-
Cross withdrew their sponsorshic
and the Legion Auxiliary immr
diately took the plan over and wi»’
use the money for under privileged
children and to provide a milk
fund for the newly.
What the conference this week
will be produce is yet to bo detenr
Ined, but it is understood that the
Supreme Court has ruled that wher
Sunday movies are operated for
charity they cannot be dosed.
