THE MOVING PICTURE WEEkLY ■25 ok on Simday morning after the passing of the Blue Laws. "BOOTLEG" MARRIAGE CEREMONY SHOWN BY COMEDY FILM J^DDIE is a young man who has given much thought to the subject of getting married — that's why he is still single. But, upon learning that the only way to escape paying the bachelor's tax is to take unto himself a wife, he begins to arrange for the ceremony. However he has overlooked the very important fact that by the terms of the Twentieth Amendment no marriages can be performed on Sunday. The troubles of getting married in a Blue Sunday town are humorously presented by Eddie Lyons and Lee Moran in their fun film "Blue Sunday," which is coming to the Theatre on This picture is said to give a vision of the future appearance of this town after the passing of the Blue Laws now being advocated so strenuously in many parts of the country. The stocks in front of the town hall, the Blue Law enforcement squad dressed in somber black, and the undertaker's hearse, which is the only motor vehicle allowed the use of the streets on Sunday, are all shown in this picture. Lyons and Moran, two former musical comedy favorites, have been starred in many comedy photoplays, including "La La Lucille," "Once a Plumlber" and "Fixed by George." This is the first of a series of tworeel comedies to be made by Universal in wJiich the two popular comedy stars will have leading roles. They will be supported by a cast who make the best of the humorous situations presented in the picture.
