Policemen were censors and prepared to stop any performance that escaped the bonds of the "sacred or educational" here yesterday. Under these conditions the Sunday amusement promoters generally resumed business yesterday. With few exceptions, the entertainments were such as had been given before Justice O'Gorman's strict interpretation of the Sunday closing law interfered, and after two "blue" Sundays resulted in the adoption by the aldermen of a more liberal ordinance. The exceptions were the moving picture shows of the East Side, which were not allowed to open, though the proprietors of some promised to picture only Biblical scenes. The peep shows of the penny arcades, however, were held permissible, a line of easy distinction being jirawn between views that moved and those that stood still. The theaters, opera-houses, and higher class music halls continued as before. The vaudeville houses confined their programs to sketches, monologues, stereopticon exhibitions, and singing. The only departure of consequence from the week day presentations was that stage "business" was eliminated. Costumes, scene shifting, and "makeups" were barred. Dancing was also prohibited on the stage, but for those who would dance for their own entertainment the dancing academies were open. Skating rinks, too, were again in full swing. The police were embarrassed at times ir. determining just what was or was not "sacred or educational," particularly in the cases of the Chinese and Yiddish theaters, where the mother tongue was heard. But the freedom from arrests of the day convinced police headquarters that the theatrical people generally had observed both the spirit and the letter of. the "
