THE RELIGIOUS DRAMA DISCUSSED.
National Arts Club Hold Twelfth Night
Celebration in New Home

'If I were Archbishop OF New York I would
lay foundation for religious press, and then
build theatre in which all the Catholics and
many. OF the Protestants could witness forty
modern religious plays that the best writers
could provide" said the Rev John Talbot Smith
last night at the National Arts Club at It's cels-
bration Of Twelfth Night IN the new club
house. on the south side OF Gramercy Park
The speaker was chairman of the committee
on discussion. and he summing up after the
