APP. DIV. 204. 139 I*. TuXSupp. 107S, the eourt aald the pWpoae of the sUtute waa to "prohibit the giving of a theatrical performance on Sun¬ day. If given, then any peraon who takes part in such performance in any way comes within IU provisions and is guilty of a misdemeanor—the one who performs as well as the one who aaslsts."
The charge made was the giving of a theatrical performance on Sunday, Nov. 27. 1910, at the Manhattan Opera House, at New York City, for which admisaion fees were charged.
It waa alleged that two of the ot- fendants managed and controlled the theatre, and aided in the performance by permitting the stage to be pre¬ pared and used, procuring tlckfct takers, ushers and persons to dis¬ tribute programs and that other de¬ fendants did a juggling performance, and that certain dances were in¬ dulged In.
The decision ol the Appellate Di¬ vision In holding that the said case constituted a crime was affirmed by the Court of Appeals on May 12, 1914 (211 N. Y. 552).
This Section however, of the Penal L,aw (2152) and the other Sections quoted, do not affect moving picture
shows. , _,
There have been many caaes Inter¬ preting the meaning oi the Sunday statutes. , ,,
In this State there are four Judi¬ cial departments eacn made up ol a number of judicial districts, each in turn consisting of various countiee. The County of Nassau is in the Sec¬ ond Judicial Department, consisting of the second and ninth Judicial dis¬ tricts, the second district embracing the counties of Nassau, Suffolk, Kings, Queens and Richmond, or in other words Long Island and Staten Island.
The Supreme Court meets in every judicial district for the trial of cases. Appeals from Supreme and County rX)urtB are held by the Appellate Di¬ vision of the Supreme Court, each de¬ partment having one Appellate Di¬ vision, the name of which corresponds with the Department.
Sometimes there exists a diversity of opinion upon a question of law in the several appellate divisions of the State, and then it remains, unless one of the Appeellate Divisions recedes from ite position in a subsequent de¬ cision, for the Court of Appeals to Bettie the disputed point.
Judges sitting in the Second Dis¬ trict will follow the cases decided in that dlatrl«t and ia the Appellate Di¬ vision of that Departemnt, but are controlled by the Court of Appeals.
There are in this State 96 Supreme Oourt Justices and 9 Judges of the Court of Appeals. It is easy to see, therefore, why there is not always a uniformity of decisions upon the same question of law.
In the case of WILLIAM FOX AMUSEMENT CO. v. MCLELLAN, 62 MISC. 100, 114 N. Y. Supp. 594, {Supreme Court, Kings County, Janu¬ ary, 1909), the plaintiff, a moving picture company, endeavored to en¬ join Mayor M'Clellan of New Yorx City from refusing ite license. About 550 licenses had been issued by the Mayor for moving picture exhi¬ bitions. Hearing that certain of the licenses had been obtained by brib- ery, an investigation followed which disclosed conditions of such a nature that a public meeting was held as to the advlei^iliy of closing moving pic¬ ture show's on Sunday. It appeared that many ot the places had inade¬ quate flre protection, aiid that the shows were demoralizing children, many of the pictures being vulgar and representations of crime. The Mayor thereupon issued an order an¬ nulling each licenses, and the validity of this order was before the court.
In a very able opinion, Mr. Justice Blackmar of Brooklyn .after citing the sections of the Penal Law quoted above (then being sections of the Penal Code) said:
"The corporation counsel In his brief lays great streei on the alleged fact that these places (moving pic¬ ture places) were open on Sunda>, and the provision in the order of the Mayor that he should require a prom¬ ise to close on Sunday as a condition to granting new licenees indicates that the Sunday queatlon largely in¬ fluenced the order. » • « This raises the much-mooted question whetlier the public exhibition of mov¬ ing pictures in a hall violates section 265 of the Penal Code. (Now Sec. 2145 of the Penal Law) • • • This question was squarely decided in People v. Hemleb, 127 App. Div. 356. Ill N. Y. Supp. 690. It was held there that a moving picture show was not a public ehow, within the meaning of these words as used in section 265 of the Penal Code. Prior to this the decisions at Special Term were conflicting; but the law Is now settled In thla department as decided in that case." • • •
Moving picutre shows are not, ac¬ cording to the Appellate Division, public shows. They are not enumer¬ ated among "other performances" in section 277 of the Penal Code, and I nannot flnd that tlyy fall under the prohibition of any other section. *
Plaintiff won.
In PEOPLE V. HEMLEB, referred to In the last case, 127 App. Div. 356, ill N. T. Supp. 690, the Appellate DiTlalon of the Second Department, by the late Justice Oaynor, In 1908 held that Section 265 of the Penal Oode which prohibited all shooting, hunting, flshing, playing, horse rac¬ ing, gaming or ether public exercises or ahowa on Sunday, did not, when con«lder«d with Section 277 prohibit¬ ing theatrical plays, etc., on Sunday, prevent one from giving on Sunday •a Indoor moving picture exhibition.
He aald that the sUtnte as It stood before the adoption of the Penal Code related to outdoor sports or things In the open only, and this was the manifest legislative Intention. Tben. when the Peaal Code waa adopted, the words, "or other public sports, exercises or shows." were added to the Statute.
"These words have to he construed in line with what precedes. • • * The general words in question mean other like public sports, exer¬ cises or shows."
Then he quotes what was formerly flection 2"7 of the Penal Code relat¬ ing to theatrical exhibitions, and by a comparison of tbe two sections he decides that "other pub1|c shows " re¬ ferred to outdoftr exhibitionr,. and that this meaning was made clear by the fact that Section 277 of the Penal Code prohibited theatrical or indoor exhibitions.
' Tbe learned Justice (oncludes his opinion with saying, "John Knox visited John Calvin of a Sunday after¬ noon at Oeneva and found him out back at a game of bowls on tlfe green." V
Two judges concurred with Judge Oaynor. and two held the opposite. Thus the "movie man" won out by 3 to 2. This decision has not been reversed.
In PEOPLE ex rei KIELBY v. LENT, 166 APP. DIV. 550, 152 N. Y. Supp. 18. the flve Judges of the Ap¬ pellate Division of the Supreme Court in our Second Department up- held 'Sunday movies." The opinion states:
"The powers of the city of Yonkers, under Its municipal charter, to regu¬ late amusements and common shows, include a right to license an exhibi¬ tion of moving pictures. The city oi- dinance, however, prohibits such a show on Sunday, and declares that every person violating this section shail "forfeit a penalty of not less than twenty-flve dollars nor more than one hundred dollars in the dis¬ cretion of the magistrate convicting. The relator has been arrested for vio¬ lation of this eection."
After stating that a license may be granted conditionally subject to cer¬ tain reasonable hours of opening and that the municipality has only such authority as is given to it by the legislature to which It is subject, the court further said:
"The Legislature alone may com¬ mand how Sunday snail be kept. .VEUENDORFF v. DURYEA, 69 N. Y. S.'S?, 25 Am. Rep. 2So; PEOPLE v. DUNFORD, 207 N. Y. 17. 20, lOu N. K. 4 3:{; PEOPLE v MOSES, 140 N. Y. 215, 35 N. E. 499. Hence the city of Yonkers cannot independently compel and enforce Sunday closing, by means of flne or imprisonment, unless such prohibitions is part of the law and policy as declared by the Leg¬ islature."
The relator (moving picture raan) was discharged from arreet.
In KLINGER v. RYAN, 91 MISC. 71, 153 N. Y. Supp. 937, an actioj was brought by the plaintiff against the chief of police of the city of North Tonawanda, as chief and individually, and a motion came up in the Supreme Court, held in Niagara County to eontinue an injuneiion restraining- the chief of-police from arresting the plaintiff for opening his moving pic¬ ture show on Sunday.
The court by Justice Pounds, now- one of the Judges of the Court of Ap¬ peals, said that it eeems now to be es¬ tablished that the Penal Code Law of the State of New York does not prohibit the exhibition of moving pic¬ tures on Sunday, (PEOPLE v. HEM¬ LEB, 127 APP. DIV. 356) and that a municipality cannot independent of exprese legislative authority, by or¬ dinance compel and enforce Sundav closing of moving picture shows. (PEOPLE ex rei. KIELEY c. LENT, 106 APP. DIV. 550). -I am unable to distinguish between the inherent power of the city to prohibit Sunda> shows by ordinance, and the Inher¬ ent power of the mayor to prohibit them by the conditions of a license. The Legislature alone may command how Sunday may be kept and It has not delegated the power to the mayor of North Tonowanda, ht giving to that offlcial the mere general power to license entertainments."
The court denied the motion upoa the ground that equity wlll not in¬ terfere to prevent the enforcement of the Criminal Law even though tne police are mistaken in their opinion as to what constitutes a crime, and stated that if the plaintiff was op¬ pressed or injured by any lawful acts of the defendant, he may invoke Sec¬ tion 854 of the Penal Law (making an unlawful and malicious arrest by a public officer or the doing of any other act whereby h person is injur¬ ed in his person, property or righte, the crime of extortion), or plaintiff might have an action at law for bis damages.
This case was decided in June, 1915, and in July following, in the case of PEOPLE ex rei KLINGER v. RAND, as Mayor of the City of North Tonawanda, 91 Misc, 276. 154 N. Y. Sup. 293, the mayor refused to issue a license to Klinger, except on con¬ dition that he would not open his moving picture theatre on Sunday. Klinger then applied to the court for a writ of mandamus compelling the mayor to issue such license, and his application was granted.
¦The court by Mr. Justice Pounds said: The question Is whether he (inayor) may lawfully Impress upon relator his views on the Sunday cloe- Ig of moving picture theatres.
"'The power to license involves the right to regulate, is discretionary, and not mandatory. • • • He may grant licenses, conditional, amonri other things, upon reasonable hours of closing But his pcrwer is not ab¬ solute. He must not act arbitrarily or capriciously, and. If his action is tyrannical or unreasonable, the rela¬ tor has a remedy through mandamus.
le^l . J*^ ^'^ *»ol^ *n the year 1908 in PEOPLE v. HEMLEB, 127 App. Div. 356. Ill N. Y. Supp. 690. after conflicting decisions at Special Term (UNPTBD VAUDEVILLE CO. v ZELLER, 58 Misc. 16, n>8 N Y Supp. 789). that the general laW of the State does not prohibit an Indoor exhibition of moving pictures on Sun¬ day.
"Seven years of Inaction by the Legislature eince thia decision was redered suggests an acceptance of the ruling by a majority of the people, or of their representatlvea" Among.
earthly powera, "the Lagislatnre alone may command how Sunday may be kept." Putnam. J.. In PEOPLE ex rei. KIELEY v. Lent, 166 App. Div. 550, 152 N. Y. Supp. 18, afllrmed 215 N. Y. —. 109 N. B. —. 'It is the sole Judge of acts proper to be pro¬ hibited." NBUENDORFF v. DUR¬ YEA, 69 N. Y. 557. "As to the acts which ahould be prohibited, as dis¬ turbances, or profanations, of' the Sabbath Day. the Legislature Is the sole judge." PEOPLE v. DUNFORD, 207 N. Y. 17. Bo It has been held that a dty ordinance probltlng Sun¬ day opening under penalty of flne and imprisonment is void. PEOPLE ex rei KIELEY v. LENT, supra.
"In a legal sense it therefore must be deemed "tyrannical"' and a usurp¬ ation of power, and not "discretion¬ ary," for the mayor to refuse his per¬ mission to relator to open his moving picture theatre at reabonable hours on Sunday, for the mayor thus makes a Sunday law unto himself, and seeks to impress it upon the community in hostility to the general law of the State and Judges that of which the Legislature is the sole Judge."
In September, 1915, the Supreme Court in Erie County at Buffalo, la the case of VELODROME COMPANY V. STENGEL as Sheriff. 91 Misc. 580, 155 N. Y. Supp. 5 75, held that the conduct for proflt on Sunday of mo¬ torcycle and bicycle races within an unroofed enclosure, located in a sparsely settled locality 500 feet from any public road, but at a place where there were no churches, school house or other publlc buildings nearer tban one-half mile, was a Violation of Sec¬ tion 2145 of the Penal Law, quoted above.
Justice BIssel, In his opinion said: "Sunday legislation ¦» more than flf¬ teen centuries old. Tue origin of the present law of the State of New York is found in Chapter 4 2 of the Laws of 1788. The eo-call blue laws of the Colony of Connecticut went so far as to forbid a man to kiss his wife on Sunday. • * 'While the opinions of a large part of the Ameri¬ can neople now seem to favor greater freedom of action on Sunday, and tho fullest enjoyment of athletic sports which are in themselves innocent, neverthless, the statutes of the State prohibit the doing of certain specifled acts on Sunday and are still in force, and must be upheld. If these laws are unsatisfactory, the remedy is by application to the Legflslature for their amendment or repeal.
The court also said "the public sport" here under consideration is not similar to moving picture shows, for the reason that it is conducted In the open air, and Is clearly an outdoor sport.
Juatlce Sutherland, sitting in the Supreme Court in Monroe County, on Nov. 22, 1915, In PEOPLE ex rei. BRIGGS v. OWEN, 153 N. Y. Supp. 1003, said:
"Differences of belief as to the moral principles involved are not for the courts to weigh and choose be¬ tween, for the courts must apply the law as it is written in the statute; but unfortunately the conflicting de¬ cisions of the judges have brought about the unusual and very regret- able condition that what is considered table in one part of the State is con¬ demned as a crime elsewhere. With all due deference, I venture the asser¬ tion that It Is now time for the Sun¬ day law to be rewritten by the Legis¬ lature of the State, in order to remove the unfortunate uncertainties that now exist as to the application of the present statute, and to make the law conform to the wholesome sentimeni' of the present day, if the law ae it' now stands seems to the Legislature to be too stern and repressing."
The ijustice In the course of his ODinion cites the case of PEOPLE v HEMLEB as holding that Section 214Jt of the Penal Law applied only to out¬ door pursuits, and not to moving pic¬ tures which are indoors, and said the contradictory interpretations placed upon the Sunday law by courts and Judges In various parts of the State, makes it increasingly dlfllcult for lo¬ cal police authorities to deal intelli¬ gently and consistently with the sub¬ ject and that several ijustlces outside of the Second Department had de¬ clined to follow the ruling in the Hemleb case.
In conclusion. Section 91 of the Village Law, Sub-Division 3, provides that the Board of Trustees "may by ordinance prohibit the pursuit or ex erclse without a license * * ¦ circuses, theatres or other exhibitions or performances • • * or the giving of exhibitions, performances or entertainments in any place where liquor is sold or drunk under a liquor tax certlflcate.
The courts have decided that the Board of Trustees Is a creation of statute, and has no inherent powers save those that are derived there¬ from. (MATTER OF NEWMARKET STREET 76 Hun. 85.)
In view of the interpretation of the Sunday law as laid down by the Judgee of this district and depart¬ ment, and followed by the courts in the several districts, it is clear to me that the giving of moving pictures on Sunday cannot be prevented either by village ordinance or by a criminal or civil action, unless, perhaps in a suit brought by an individual they coula be enjoined as a nuisance—unlawful interference with personal or prop¬ erty rights,
If a moving picture show was to locate in close proximity to a church, and the exhibition of the pictures should Interfere with religious wor¬ ship, a question might arise as to whether or not the church would not have its remedy by Injuction for an abatement of the nuisance, but this question has not arisen in Preeport
I trust that tbis letter will make plain to all Interested, the legai status of moving picture shows being conducted on Sunday.
The Legislature can at any time amend the Sunday law io as to pre¬ vent moving picture shdws on Sun¬ days.
I am sending this communication to the newspapers as a private citi- lena As a lawyer, I have not been reUined either for or against the moving picture Interests.
So muc^ diversity of opinion exists oa this topic, that If this article will make matters clear. I shall feel well repaid for the voluntary labor ex¬ pended.
YouPB very truly.

IMPORTANCE OF THE MURSE.
She Is the Raal and Rational Ruler of the Turbulent Children Who, aa a General Rule, Are Spoiled by Their Too Induloent Parents.
The French people have not. so far. produced a spiritually servile class. The occupation most dangerous to the soul—that of personal service—has not resulted for the people ot France in flunkylsm on tba one hand and su perlor aire on the other.
There ts something tn tbe poise and motion of French working girls, in their fearless eyes aud vibrant voices, tbat suggests a fluid and mobile social structure which deepens tbe impres sion of rigidity In the life across the channel and lieyond the Rhine. French people of tbe more favored classes arc never beard bemoaning the decay of a "proper" servant class. On the con trary. if you speak to them of the striking contrast between the French proletariat and thnt of otber countries —theirs so natural and gay. the others so humble or so sniien or t>oth—thoy instantly expand with pride. "Exact iy!" they exclaim. "Our brave French people! Just as good as monsieur, h^ madame. but also no belter!"
Tbe status of the French domesth derives in part at least frum tbe weight of responsibility under wbicb she serves. For her mistress is neither u careless housekeeper nor an Indifferent mother. It is precisely because the Freiicbwomnn loves her children so ar dently, so romantically, one might say. aud because ber quick, Intelligent grasp of material situations makes ber an excclleut economist at home that she requires and establishes in tbe house hold not a common servant, not n "mother's helper." but u woman of In telligence and character, n woman oft en .young and untried, but witb fhe true ring, who is or soon t>ecomes ca pable of assuming direct responsibiliiy for the care of the children and the house—a woman who deserves and re¬ ceives the consideration due to tbo bead of an Important department in the mauagement of the family life.
French children nre iiotoriousl.v spoil ed. The Ilttle monarchs are kept on a pedestal well into the age of moral rc sixinslblllty. Father, mother, all the older relatives, vie with one another in admiring and indulging them. Willi this understanding of the term and scope of the child's autocratic reign. one can afford fo laugh at turbulent scenes in which he pots to rout every adult in tbe bouse except bis bonne At the mere sight of ber the Ilttle des perado begins tu quiet down. Ile is In the presence of tho only persou who lias, so far. exercised any rational au thority over him, the person before whom he feels fhe beginnings of shame at doing wrong.
Tbe bonne is tbe most important por son In the family group, so far as Its material well being Is concerned. .\nd morally, spiritually, she is a true mem tier of tho fnmily. It is not for nothing that the word "bonne" means "good" as well ns "nurse."
It rnay be that the prevailing good relatiun between masters and servants in France hus a very simple cxpluna tlon—simple aud yet profound, it may be that it springs ot bottom from tbe warm affections of the people They cannot Ilve witbout love and seuti ment Better than any other people they know how to Ueet> alive the ro mance of frlendshli). of love and even of that inben-ntly bad relation, roaster nnd slave.
The French servant who bas no tarn lly tics—aud often tbe one wh0ijfii^— throws her whole heart and soul into the family life of her master and mis tress.
She must love—she must serve—she must bc loved. .\iid tbe French master and mistress understand. Encb one Idealizes the sentiments of the other In a word, tbe romance of tbe situa tion grips them all. French literature Is crowded with e.Kamples of mistress and servant whose intimacy shows uo trace of eondeseeuslon on tbe one side or of servility on the others.—J. Fran ces Cooke in New Republic.
