THEATRES And DANCING.

"Shall I attend the theatre and shall l
dance was the question asked by the Rev. Charles H.
Eaton at the Church Of the Divine Paternity at Fifth
ave. and Forty -nfh.st, last evening The Rev. Mr..
Eaton is preaching series Of to young people,
and the subject Of the discourse last night was
The theatre and ball room" al am compelled
to say" SAID the speaker, that within certain
limits favor the theatre Ond the dance.
History shows us that the dramatic instinct has been
universal for the initiative instinct is a crude form Of
the dramatic The first thing in child is desire
TO initiate"
After speaking Of the Greek and Roman theatres, the
speaker said that the modern drama found s origin In
the church. and that during the middle ages the mys-
terous and miraculous plays including the representa-
ton OF the life of the Lord, sanctioned by the
Catholic Church that they might work upon the
lamentations of the people and bring them under the
power OF thar church. AS second
reason for supporting the theatre the preacher
said that If all good people kept away from the
play 1t would give the theatre up entirely to the lowest
class of people while lit patronzed by moral and
refined persons the OF the plays would be elevated
When Cato visited tie Roman theatre the audience de-
anded that on OF his moral character the indie
cent parts of the play shOuld be left out. Human

do not believe I'm shutting up the doors Of the theatre
and the windows of church sOciables let I'm

actresses Mr. Eaton said that he did not believe that
they were than those engaged in any other bust
meas or profession. There many who he believed,
were earnestly striving to elevate the stage.
Az regards dancing, the preacher thought that the
same principle applied to theatres: There no OBJ
lection to 1t, II it abused. When carried TO
