NEW YORK—“Every Sunday a
blue Sunday everywhere in America."
That. says Rev. Henry L. Bowlby,
champion crusader. is the idea he-
hind the campaign begun with test.
cases in New York and New Jersey
to stop Sunday theatrical pertorm-
ances.
The battle is on again. This time
with a country-wide scope and a re-
vivifled and sternly determined
Lord's Day Alliance pushing the cam-
paign. Ranged against the alliance,
of which Dr. Bowlby is national sec-
retary. is the Anti-Blue Law League
of America. claiming 850,000 mem-
bers and theatrical producers led by
William A. Brady.
"Grasping greed for money is the
canker of American life that is mak-
ing our Sundays unholy." says Bowl-
bY-
“Pronteering in morality!" says
Brady. characterizing Bowlby's Sun-
day clean-up campaign.
These are the things the Lord's
Day Alliance hepes to banish in ev- '
cry city in the ‘nited States:
SUNDAY the trical performances,
including vaudeville and burlesque.
SUNDAY motion picture shows.
SUNDAY baseball.
Dr. Bowlby said branches at the al-
liance in many cities would follow ‘16
New York and New Jersey prosecu-
tions as soon as tests of the- law had
been made. Brady. producer of "La
Flamme. " is one of the first test de-
temlants.
“We are fighting every enterprise
and amusement that makes lioney on
Sunday,'- says ’Bowlby. “That in-
cludes theatres, baseball. grocers. ci-
gar dealers. barbers. Only actual pub-
lic necessities should be obtainable on
Sunday. Drug stores and delicatessen
stores may be open within prescribed
hours.”
Laws regulating Sunday amuse-
ments and business activities exist in
every state, Bowlby said. The cam-
paign is for the enforcement of
those laws rather than for the im-
mediate enactment of new and more
stringent laws.
"It isn't blue Sundays we want. but
clean Sundays—clean and pure. with-
out lhe taint of money. greed and
vice." he said. "Eventually we will
turn our guns on Sunday baseball. It
is bosh to say that baseball managers
put on Sunday games to give the peo-
ple a chance for amusement. The
managers are after the cash: the peo-
pic can get plenty of baseball on
Week-days.
Bowlby said there had been more.
than 400 convictions in New York
alone for violations of Sunday laws
Burlng the past six months.
One of those arrested in the New
Jersey campaign was Rev. Father
Joseph N. Grieft, pastor of the Holy
Family Church of Union Hill.
