A PURELY CHRISTIAN THEATRE
Ia the last number of the Independent
Rev. Charles N. Sheldon discusses the
possibility Of establishing "a distinctly
Christian theatre, where men and wo-
men Of consecf ,ted, devout, earnest
Christian character would act only good
plays" He treats the question In a
temperate and liberal way, recognizing
the perennial nature OF the histrionic
passion ic mankind, s.-i sincerely try.
ii " discover whether or not 1t might
be utilized on behalf OF morality and
religion. His inquiry is based on the
statement that 16 OF the 80 plays an
nouuced at the opening of the season
in New York were absolutely harmful
to the moral life OF those who attended
them.
Mr.. Sheldon says the plays he would
like TO see performed would not neces
sarily have to be religious, but they
should be uniformity as clean and
wholes 3me as anything to be found in
the lives OF the best Caristian men and
women. Presumably he has in mind
something 10 the nature of dramati-
cation OF bis book, "In His Steps,"
which theatrical managers have repeat
eddy asked to be allowed to present on
the stage. He realizes that large num-
bers Of people grow weary of the strug-
gle for existence in the great cities and
need the refreshment that is found in
good play. Hence he asks whether
Christian theatre devoted 10 wholesome
recreation would not be feasible and
desirable.
