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 The old laws are "out
of-date" and should be thoroughly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they are hopelessly out of date, that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."
