 New york. Feb. 1I--The agitation of the pulpit over alleged immoral plays produced at certain local fheafres is being considered by; mem bers of the Theatrical Managers As- eociation and a meeting win likely be called to look into the situation.
 Several theatrical managers are of the opinion that a censorshfp should be established. to prevent objectionable plays. Daniel Frohman said today;
 Not only would not object to . stage censor, but I would not be at all surprised if stage censorship would bs estabiished. | believe that most managers would welcome such an in- stitutlon.
 ..But I would not have single cen sor. I think the power should be divided between three men of wide knowledge who would not deprive the public of great play because 1t might contain . single resrettabis fn- cident.
 ''on the other hand. they would not permit piays~of the sort we have seen lstely-plays whose only appeal is to the baser sense"
 Speaking of the situation. A. L. Err langer. cf the firm of Klaw and Err laneer said:
 1T am very glad to see the enlighten- ed ciergymen and the better class of newspapers take up this subject. It is high time. Unless e stop is put to this sort of thing at once. 1t will grow worse.
 Indecent plays will be held in theatres by some managers as long as there is e public that will patronize them and if the people of this city do not want to have the stage of New York fall lower than that of Paris vigorous action should be taken ai oiice.p

Feast of Reason-TWo Hun
dred and Fifteen Present.

Good fellowship, the kind that
comes with body of men whose feel
ings have had eight years to cement,
was overfiowing at the eighth annual
banquet of the Methodist brotherhood
last evening in the lecture room OF
the First Methodist Episcopal church.
The eighth year idea was carried out
not alone in the matter Of the ban
ouet, but in the menu, the program
and the delightful services rendered
nv the women of the church, who
really had but a week or SO to pre-
pare for it, but who could have made
no more splendid success had they
taken eight years to do it. The lib
guests members Of the brotherhood
and their friends gathered in the audl-
forum of the church preliminary TO
the banquet, and there an 1sapropmlu
reception was rendered DR.. A. ~
Craig, former pastor OF the church'
who made the principal address. I'M
mediately following the large congre'
cation of mankind proceeded TO the
lower floor where a most beautl1ul al
ray of white napery and Drllllant
silverware topped off with an apund'
ance Of red crepe papers artlstlcally
hung from the center OF the rooms
to the side walls met their gaze. On
each of the six long tables and upon
the speakers table, surrounded by
sprays of spiraea were placed nand-
some candelabra in which were lighted
red candles, and the contrast OF the
red and white was emphasized by the
numerous lady servers, all gowned IN
white Many displays of good fellow
shin and concern for the stranger was
shown, and while they were not all
successful, despite the good intentions
of the doer, they were nevertheless
appreciated. Rev. H. N. Smith, Phi. D.,
asked the blessing, and then began
the systematic procession Of the pro-
vendors Of food.
A Delicious Menu.
The menu, prepared by the women
of the church and served by fully
seventy-fve of the younger feminine
members, follows:
Macedonia of fruit.
Cream of celery soup Waters
Olives Sailed Nuts Pickles
Turkey with dressing, Brown sauce
Cranberry ice
