FILMS CAUSE STRIFE
Dublin Cinema Bombed SHOWED NEWS REEL OF KING Two Men Imprisoned (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Deceived 14, 1.30 p.m.) DUBLIN, May 13. Two incidents arose out of the showing of Jubilee films at Dublin. In one case a bomb thrown at midnight from a passing motor car into the entrance of a suburban cinema, which was showing a news reel of Their Majesties and the Prince of Wales, smashed the glass and did other damage. The gates of the Dublin Police Court were barred during the hearing of a case in which James Fullerton and another man, who refused to give his name, were charged with assaulting the police. Evidence showed that tho men were posting leaflets, signed by the Republican Safety Committee, declaring that it would be provocative of grave disorder if Jubilee films were exhibited in Ireland. The two men resisted arrest, but quietened down after policemen had tired shots in the air. The Magistrate at first sentenced the men to two months’ imprisonment, but when they persisted in shouting "Up with the Republic" he increased the sentence to six months.
