ANZAC DAY PICTURES
CHRISTCHURCH REFUSES PERMISSION THE QUESTION OF LEGALITY (Per United Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, March 16. The Christchurch City Council, after hearing a deputation from the Returned Soldiers’ Association in opposition, tonight declined the request of the picture theatre proprietors to open the theatres on the evening of Anzac Day. Only one councillor supported the request of the theatre proprietors, and his motion that the request be granted lapsed for lack of a seconder. In the discussion it was stated that the action of the Dunedin City Council in granting permission for the theatres to open was illegal, and the Returned Soldiers’ Association had requested the Attorney-general to act in the matter.
