THE CHURCH AND THE THEATRE.
A very meagre audienco gathered last night In
the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church to listen to
= lecture on '.Tho Church and the Theatre"
The locturor WAS MIR. John ". Overall, a former
dramatic critic Of Il Now Orleans newspaper.
But very little WIS said concerning the Church,
and what little was said waa not in tho highest
degrce commcndatory. Not that thu speaker in
my way aaofed at the Church, but the compare

present day was IN tho handa Of second aud

ln great measure given place to the clog-dnnce,
banjo-Holo, and nonHenRical farcoB Of the min
etsel stage. ln Great Britain tho legitimate
drama had declined for want OF flrat-clags his

the sparse audience, and, although it IVES ctni-
