Sabbath Law Repeal

Among the many things banned because of Sabbath Laws was movies in the great state of Pennsylvania right up to 1935. No doubt seeking what was lost revenue the film industry made this short subject for a referendum in Pennsylvania that year. The movie moguls then and now knew the power of film as a persuader.

Kay Francis and Margaret Hamilton appear as themselves urging passage of this question, voting yes on the question of Sunday films. But the highlight is Warner Oland as Charlie Chan urging folks from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh to allow people to see Charlie Chan bring criminals to justice.

Not something I'd want to miss on Sunday.
