MIR. Barry's Lecture on the Uses and Abuses
of the stage.
Mr.. Barry delivered his lecture on the uses and
abuses Of the Stage, to very respectable intelli-
gent, and numerous auditory, amongst whom we
noticed many of our most distinguished literary
and professional men, The lecturer commenced
by some very happy and appropriate remarks by
way of explanation and apology for the appearance
of the lecturer in that, to him, novel field
Mr. Barry then proceeded in a very eloquent and
forcible manner to refute the arguments, or to
speak more accurately, to repel the abuse, poured
out against the drama and the stage by Dr. Beecher
and others. The propriety of theatrical entertain
ments as means of rational and innocent enjoy.
mcnt-the entire absence of any thing approach
ing to their Remuneration III the sermons OF
Christ or the writings Of his Apostles-the high
moral tendency of the drama, were dwelt on with
such force and power, as to present to our mind,
one of the most touching and impressive vindica-
tons Of the stage, to which we have listened
or ever read. Then came very interesting and
we'll arranged series Historical details rsspe citing
the rise progress of the drama in all lands till this
day; and the lecture closed with brlef statement
Of Mr. Barry's views respecting the best means Of
reforming the stage, and maintaining It IN Its full,
est power of softening refining and purifying and
nstructing the age. The press by impartial, high.
toned and educated criticism could, he urged, dc
much to achieve this great and desirable end.
| The delivery of the lecture was worthy OF high
commentator. In his elocution-ease and digni
ty of manner-propriety OF gesticulation and gene
raj manner Mr.. Barry is one of the most agreeable
and impressive of lecturers. Indeed, we could moi
avoid contrasting with his calmness, modesty,
sound sense and sound logic, the violence, the rant
the vituperaion and vulgarity OF some OF the cer
cal antagonists of the drama. They might have
profted, had they been present, by the practica
lesson thus taught them by Mr.. Barry. The fac
| is, we are candidly Of opinion that Mr. Barry
should at once enter on the work of reforming the
pulpit. What with Mr. Simpsons duness and i'm
becility, and Signor Palmos energy and enter
prise, there is small chance for the poor, despised
trodden-down, slandered, legitimate drama, in th!
| city for heaven knows how long to come. VIII,
cannot Mr.. Barry, then, get into the Pulpit at once
| He has more good sense-more logic-more Chris
tan forbcarance, amiaby, good temper and cha
rity than dozen of your right reverend Fathers il
God and whole synod OF ranting, reviling, quar-
| relsome preachers whom we could pick out of the
muster roll of the churches. That's certain.
