NEW YonK, Dec. 16.-The church i,
a9ain denouncin9 the Passion Plsv
The 1esrish Asssfngsr says: Poaitivel,
there 10 no demand. az there n no M
cessity, for its presentation and exhibi
ton. It may do positive injury in I
way probably not imagined, withou,
adding any treasures to his Golfers. II
despite objections Of the press and the
better portion Of the public, he insists
on producing the play, the best form OF
rebuke will be for all people to refrain
from patronizing him, but there ia nc
danger, however, that it will fail to
draw. Crowds will flock to see it lust "a
eiowds docked to SEQ Mrs. LauRtry-out
OF mere curiosity. Salmi Morse's thea
ter IL nearly completed. His leading
actors are all engaged, and his chorus is
IN rehearsal. Whose money is invested
IN the enterprise is q secret. Not
Morse's, for he has none. but somehow
or other he has secured backing and
plenty Of capital. He has also fortified
himself with legal opinions, to the Of
feet that the pF0duction Of the Passion
Plav cannot be stopped. II the author
tiles act on the advice Of the press and
the pulpit, and try to stop it, he intends
70 tight the matter in the court. The
World says Morse reckoned without his
host when he said the authorities could
not stop his show. If he does carry his
point, rather curious spectacle will be
presented of unique entertainment
revolving to the religious sentiment in Q
community produced at great expense,
contrary to the wishes Of the authori-
ties, the press, the pulpit and the best
classes of society. It is reported that
an order will be read in all the churches
prohibiting the devout from attending
tho spectacle. The actors in the play
are all mad, because they can get no
contracts signed.
