SUNDAY NIGHT THEATRES
Strong Protest against Them at
14ct0rS' Church alliance Meeting.

Sunday night theatres outrage to
Christian civilization ] hope to Heaven one
here ever goes to the theatre on a Sunday
night" and Miss Harriette Keyser glanced Sc
verely around the Actors Church Alliance.
which held its annual May reception yesterday
i'm 81. Thomas's parish house.
This Sunday acting has got to be stopped"
continued Miss Keyser Indignantly. But the
actors can't help themselves. They are dis
franchised. like women. The theatres are keep
ing open Sunday nights practically all over
the country. particularly through the West and
Middle West. and that means that hundreds of
stage carpenters and scene shifters and "supes."
as well as actors. have got to work Sundays. ]
don't see how any one who belongs TO a church
can ever look an actor in the face again after
going 10 the theatre on a Sunday night
The reception. which had begun in a light
hearted way with miscellaneous programme
OF music and speeches. 10 wind up later with
ices and cakes. took more serious vein after
Miss Keyser's determined speech.
I've been doing some of this Sunday night
acting" said Miss Bertha Welby. It's just
one more hardship for the actor"
This telegram" said Mrs. Wellesley Smith,
placing one of the familiar yellow envelopes
down on the grand piano. 'is from ST. Louis.
where I'm 20 play a summer engagement That
means playing Sunday nights. I don't believe
you know what a horror tha: has for the actor.
Setting aside all religious views and taking a
purely utilitarian view. what could be worse for
the actor than Sunday opening? II only the
managers could be brought 10 how much
better a horse would go Monday If il didn't
have 10 go Sunday"
It's Sunday night theatres that cause so
many nervous breakdOwns among actors" said
The Rev. Francis ]. Clay Moran. Il heard of
an actor performing twenty-eisht times week
in Newark the other day"
Edyth Totten McGrath, of whom Bishop Pot
ter once remarked that If she was a man he
would offer her cigar, was one of those who
did not speak seriously. She started off by
saying that the funny little hall they meet
ing in made her think OF the place where the
national council of the Actors Church Alliance
met in London last summer. The Bisnop of
Southwark presided" she said, and when I
mounted the platform 10 read my report / saw
that he wore his trousers too short-they only
came down 10 his knees-and he looked so funny
burst right out laughing"
The thought OF his lOrdship and his lordship's
trousers proved too much for Mrs McCIrath. and
she broke into peal Of merry laughter, in
which the whole audience. including Charles T.
Catlin, the president, and the Rev. DIR. James
b. Wasson, who represented the Rev. Ernest
II Stires, and the Rev. DIR. Joseph Silvermann.
