HEAVY PICTURE LICLNSE
The proposed amendments to the
act governing moving picture houses,
which is now being considered by the
Legislature is creating considerable
interest among the owners of •`move
ies' throughout Ontario. "The pro-
posal; which will meet with consider-
able opposition, is to impose a
license fee of $500, with no license
granted to a house not on a corner
and with a 15 -foot driveway, Theatre
owners suggest that the only way
thew could rneet the demand of the
bill would be to raise the price of
admission, They also point out the
hardship this would'..incur on the work
ing class, 'whose only amusements is
the picture house, The owners feel
that any protest would be useless,,.
and think that the best way to meet
the situation is to meet demand' with

marriage license, the notice of its
approach be published is a local pub
lication In the case neither of the
parties had for the prece ding 15
days lived there, the license would
be issued on the affidavit of one of
the parties stating that the reg
ulation had been complied with.
Should an appliccant be unable to
meet these conditions the circum-
stancces of his case would be reported
to the registrar -general, and upon. his
being satisfied that the reason for
having the marriage solemnized in the
place mentioned was not to evade lue
publicit' and for any other improper
purpose he could in writing authorize
the issue of the license or certificate
If any issurer of licenses or any
minister or clergyman knowing or be-
lieving that either of the parties to
the intended marriage is an idiot, in-
sane or under the influence of litluor
he shall incur a penalty riot exceed-
ing' $500, and shallalso be liable to a
