SALVATION ARMY
ASSUMES NEW ROLE
Will Establish Playhouses in New
York City.
HOPES TO COPE WITH SALOONS
Commissioner Booths Idea is to Compete
With Saloons and Sunday Attractions
Which, He Says, Have Such Influence
as to Endanger Church Attendance.

London. The Salvation Army is
planning the establishment of a Cos
pei mission theatre in New York,
at which picture plays will be pro-
vided by the biograph. The new
play house is to be run by Commits
sioner Herbert Booth and stock
company is to be engaged to per-
form in private plays specially con-
structed by clever dramatists which
the biograph will reproduce. The
action will also be elucidated by
means OF dramatic lectures.
Commissioner Booths idea is to
compete with the saloons and thea
sers, which have now, he says,
sven on the Sabbath, such powerful
attractions for the masses that the
attendance at places of worship are
perceptibly thinning.
The appeals made by the play
houses he regards as irresistible and
ae intends to play the all powerful
art of the dramatist in a series of
Passion plays and gospel stories to
orlng home Bible truths to the
masses.
The committee to run the theatres
will be known as the scientific
CHARACTERIZATION Society, the tEeatre
will be called the "Hall OF Repre-
'entation," and no charge for al
mission will be made. Scenes from
real life. dramatic, tragic and hu-
norous, will also be used to attract
public Interest.
The initial cost OF the scheme will
De 100000 pounds aud this sum
Commissioner Booth hopes to get
from wealthy Americans, The an
aual expenditure will be about
10000 pounds, and in Tina it is pro-
posed to send duplicate pictures to
avery town where a society can be
formed to produce them.
