A SERMON ON THE THEATRE.

Rev. Ashley A. Smith gave the third of
his series of Sunday evening discourses at
the Universalist church last Sunday. The
attendance was good and the audience great
ly interested. The music included bari
tone solo by Mr.. John Parker. Mr.. Smith
first reviewed the growth of the theatre in
America. Formerly theatres only existed
in the larger cities, but now every large
town is provided with this means of amuse-
ment. A portion of the old Puritan preiu-
dice against the stage survives to-day. In
1850 the Boston Museum was obliged to
advertise the standard comedies and TRACE
dies as lectures. The pulpit was strong in
its denunciation of actors Some of the
objections to the theatre are well founded,
some are reasonable, some are plausible,
and some are frivolous. The stage, rightly
conducted, is great educator The theatre,
the school and the newspaper should go
hand in hand in the work of education The
stage has higher mission than to amuse.
Its mission is educational and uplifting.
No fair-minded man or woman condemns
all because of the abuses of few. The
stage has changed much in recent years.
Spectacular drama has taken the place of
great actors. In the early days the acting
was grand; now more reliance is placed on
the gorgeous costumes, the fine stage set
tings and the brilliant lighting. This is
not the fault of the theatre manag ars. They
give the public what is demanded and what
the public is willing to pay for. The person.
ality of the old actors was lost in their parts
they were acting.
The grandest actor OH the American
stage was Edwin Booth. His Hamlet was
superb, and he compared favorably with
the best English actors. OF him we can
say with Shakespeare: 'This is the nobiest
Roman of them ALL" Lawrence Barrett
represented the best of the American STAGE
His acting was intellectual rather than
physical. These two reflect great credit on
the American stage. Charlotte Cushman
was one of the brightest stars of the stage.
Edwin Forrest was rough and untutored
genius. He was severely criticised, but
there are those now who place him high in
the list. The tragedies of Shakespeare fell
into disuse in 1890 in response to demand
for lighter plays. In comedy Mr.. Smith re-
ferred to Burton, Warren, Barrett and JEFF
ferson. The Rip Van Winkle of Jefferson
made his name famous.
1t is true there is much on the stage that
is immoral. This ought to be condemned.
Because we believe the theatre is able to up
lift we should be the first to oppose it's bad
elements. Shakespeare is neglected and low
plays are patronized The dramatization of
popular novels draw crowded houses,
though the acting be poor. Some Shake
spearean actors are again bringing his plays
before the public, more for love of the cause
than for money. In this century the Amer
lean stage will be wonderfully improved,
and the theatre will take its proper place
beside the school and the newspaper as a
public educator. The theatre can reach
many whom the church cannot reach, and
it may thus become co-worker with the
church. The stage will ''hold the mirror
up to nature and thus fulfil its mission
