NO SUNDAY PICTURES
COUNCIL REFUSES REQUEST PATRIOTIC FUND APPEAL Declining to depart from its established practice, the City Council last night refused an application by the entertainment group of the Fighting Forces Fund to permit the showing of pictures in city theatres on Sunday nights to assist the fund. The request was made by a deputation representing the exhibitors and the film officials. Mr. Bryce Hart said it was desired to hold combined picture and concert entertainments at two picture theatres on each of six Sundays during the appeal. It was not proposed to start until after church hours and there would be no charge for any of the services given. Ordinary admission prices would be charged. After a short discussion the council was unanimous in the decision to refuse the request.
