FEBRUARY 11, 1919. OPINIONS DIFFER AS TOJLUE LAWS [Continued'from First Pace.] their resolutions affirm, "would be a blow to the church," adding, "we respectfully ask that the churches of our state be protected to the ex tent of at least one day of the week. In order that they may do the most important work in various interests seeking changes in human life." A liberal Churclunan Some churchmen, however, are of the opinion that the amendment holds much of gocgl. Father Dan iel J. Carey, rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral, the largest Catholio Church of Centra) Pennsylvania, be lieves the measure is a good one "if it doesn't interfere with church services." The old laws are "out of-date" and should be thoroughly revised that they may be "brought up-to-date" and meet the "changed conditions," Father Carey main tains. Lectures, entertainments and sports as provided in the measure, Father Carey says, will aid in pre venting much mischief and will fur nish healthful recreation to the per sons who have litUe opportunity for such entertainments during the week. But Father Carey was quite emphatic In his contention that any such entertainment as may be per mitted should not interfere in the least with Sunday church services. The Mayor's Attitude While Father Carey's measure has been characterized as somewhat liberal, It is meeting with hearty approval frpm many city people, not only of his denomination but of others as well. Mayor Keister has expressed himself forcibly In favor of the repeal of the old "Blue Laws" and the enactment of some up-to-date measure to replace the obsolete measures. \ Mayor Keister declares that a man who works throughout the week Is fully entitled to some recreation on Sunday such as would be furnished by "movies," lectures, orchestral en tertainments. etc. But excessive lib. erality in the conduction of such en tertainment must be guarded against, the Mayor believes, declar ing that they must be well restrict ed. In his indictment of the "Blue laws," Mayor Keister affirms that they are hopelessly out of date, that they are violated each week by hun dreds of persons and that they should be modernized. Concerts Approved Sunday concerts meet with the approval of Lieutenant David M. Clark, leader of the old Eighth Reg iment band, and Frank Blumen steln, leader of the Municipal band. All music is more or less sacred, these men believe, and the permis sion to hold Sunday concerts would not detract in the least from the solemnity of the day and would do much to add to it. "Movies" and theatricals, however, do not meet with their approval. \ The Theater Man's View "I believe the bill to repeal the Sunday closing laws will have the sincere approval of every motion picture and theatrical man in the state," said Peter Magnro, owner and manager of the Regent theater. Few people know exactly what the Sunday closing laws prohibit. They keep us from using the theaters for Sunday afternoon meetings of any sort. Now if we had the repeal of the Sundky closing laws before us, we could throw the theaters open for Sunday afternoon organ recitals, and religious meetings. There are scores of theaters in the state with magnificent organs which could be used. There are also hun dreds of people who don't know I where to spend their Sunday after- I noons. I am sufe no minister' would object to a recital and a few 1 educational pictures for the benefit of a worthy charity. The Regent with its Mohler four-manual organ, would he gladly turned over for oc casional affairs of this sort. That is why 7 am in favor of having the old "Blue Laws" repealed. They are obsolete and antiquated, made to fit a former generation."
