Knoxville Citizens Start Fight for Sunday FiJms Kno.xville, one of the last major southern cities to prohibit Sunday motion pictures, is facing a fight on the issue with representatives of the industry and civic groups determined to force a referendum. Elsewhere in the south, exhibitors have expressed fear that special wartime laws permitting Sunday exhibition may be terminated. Southern towns near military installations adopted these special laws to give servicemen recreation when given Sunday passes. It is pointed out that if Knoxville adopts the Sunday picture plan, other conservative cities in the south will follow, making the wartime Sunday status permanent. The Knoxville Ministers Association is planning to continue its fight against the measure and the Echelon Club, a veterans' group has circulated a petition demanding a referendum. Both Knoxville newspapers support Sunday pictures, and during the past year each has launched an editorial campaign in support of them. Knoxville has 15 theatres in operation, and two large neighborhood houses under construction. The area has a theatre seating capacity of more than 10,000. Duell To Publish History of Sound Duell, Sloan and Pearce, Inc., will publish in late July or early August a 300^ page book titled "Okay for Sound," giving a comprehensive history of the development of sound motion pictures. The volume, edited by Prof. Frederic M. Thrasher of New York University, is timed for publication coincident with the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of sound by Warner Bros, in cooperation with the American Telephone & Telegraph Co., Western Electric Bell Laboratories. RCA Victor, Eastman Kodak, Society of Motion Picture Engineers and others who helped to pioneer the new invention. Legion of Decency Reviews Eight New Productions The National Legion of Decency reviewed eight new productions this week, approving all but one. In Class A-I, unobjectionable for general patronage, were "El Paso Kid," "Ghost of Hidden Valley," "It Shouldn't Happen to a Dog" and "Swamp Fire." In Class A-II, unobjectionable for adults, were "Behind the Mask," "Without Reservations" and "Inside Job." "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers" was placed in Class B, objectionable in part, because of "inadequate moral compensation, sordid atmosphere and plot solution by suicide." Release Army Subject "Teamwork," a two-reel film produced by the Army Signal Corps for the War Department and showing the contribution of the Negro soldier in every campaign of the war, is scheduled for national release the latter part of June by Mayer-Burstyn, Inc. 48 MOTION PICTURE HERALD, JUNE I. 1946
