Academy Of Music.

Every play of Mrs. Fishes has a dis
t~inction of its own, and every production
she makes is a masterpiece of stage
management. Mrs. Fiske works out the
problem of Interpretation with her COM
pany in prolonged and laborious rehearsal.
No detail of Mrs. Fiske's productions on
tour is in any sense inferior to her pro-
auctions in New York. Each play is pre-
scented with the same scenic equipment as
used in the metropolis. Mrs. Fiske has a
reputation for being equally careful in
the choices of her supporting company.
Her organization this season is pro-
nounced superior to any which has here
tofore lent her aid. Besides the favorites
of last season-Frederic de Belleville, John
Jack, Wilfrid North, Frank Mccormack,
Mary E. Barker, Sydney Coweli and Edith
Wright, all of whom nave been retained
there are some notable newcomers: John
Craig, who was for five years a leading
member Of Augustin Days company;
Gertrude Bennett, who will also be re-
membered for her delightful work with
Mr.. DAILY: Olive Hoff, a young actress
with a brilliant California record, who is
now seen here for the first time, and Ger
trude Norman, who has won distinction
in Sir Henry Irving's London
The appearance here of Mrs. Fiske is
sure to meet with hearty spoons from
all classes of theatre goers. Her produce
lions have an artistic influence Il as
few other contemporary actresses can
exert.

Mr.. STODDARD'S DEFENSE
He Justifes Boxing Glass
and Denounces Fasting
Communion.

The Rev. E. L. Stoddard, who has a
dancing and boxing class in connection
with his church, discussed those branches
of church work in ssSt. Johns Bulletin
yesterday. He said. in part:-
we freely admit that it is still an
open question whether the Institutional
church has come to stay. We think it
has, and even if we are mistaken, it
seems an experiment worth trying. For
generations the church made the mistake.
as we think, OF separating what is called
the secular life of ma from the religious
life. 1t denounced alike dancing and
horse racing. Edwin Booth and the vari-
ETY. actress. a billiard table in a gentle
mans house and one in a bar room, box
ing in a respectable gymnasium and prize
fighting. 1t had no discrimination. 1t
had no sympathy with hat demand of
our young people for recreation. which
the prayer meeting alone could not salts
fy. Refusing them harmless enjoyment,
1t drove them to questionable ones.
Fifty years ago men felt that the
Church had no interest in a large part of
their natural and legitimate living. We
are trying in the Institutional church to
make it evident that all of life belongs to
God, and that the Church cannot afford to
ignore that part which we are to render
things to Caesar and in other things TO
God. Our life is to be one, in which even
the things which we render to Caesar are
to be rendered in the same spirit, the
same devotional. thankful spirit in which
we render things to Cod. We believe
that this view has come to stay, ana so
we propose to go on with our expert
ment.,
DR.. Stoddard also discusses Fasting
Communion as follows
There is no sueh requirement in the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the Unit
ed States of America. Any rector teaching
fasting Communion is necessary
teaches that which is contrary to the
ordering of the Church as much as he
who teaches that confession is necessary
mean aurieular confession to a
priest. We dislike to use hard words,
it is this insistence upon unessentiaI
and to many people distasteful doctrines
ceremonies, which ~eount for the
feeble conditionA Of many of our
churches"
