Shows Will Not Be Molested Sunday
Theaters and moving picture shows will likely remain open this Sunday but may face further action by the Ministerial Association. The committee has not advanced new steps, and if evidence appears Sunday it will come from individuals. Labor unions, including Cooks and Waiters No 348, endorse Mayor Brown and officials’ stance for a Sunday rest, while opposing the ministerial proposal. A Philadelphia inventor has patented a removable bath lining that is easily cleaned or swapped.
