Opposition to Theatre.

Francis Wilson. who gave presentation
OF Austin Strongs one-act play The
Father Of the Wilderness at Chautauqua
Yesterday, made curtain speech in which
he took the Church to task for opposing
the theatre.
After referring to the Church origin Of
the theatre, he said that the Church con-
denaned II after it had become its rival in
influence and revenue. This attitude, he
said, was reinforced by Puritan prejudice
and was strengthened by the Protestant
Church Such prejudice, he said, found
ed on injustice, has no place in our Church
laws Of to-day.
The theatre and Chautauqua," he con-
+inued move on similar MISREPRESENTATION
by means OF eutertaiument-and there is
no reason why one should oppose the
other
Mr. Wilson presented his play, which is
2 story Of Pere Marquette. IN the open air
and he was enthusiastically received. In
the cast with him were Jacob Wendell, Jr..

Driven 70 the country by the publicity
attendant upon her eviction from the house

ton street, Miss DeIlaripha Grace Richard
son, daughter and sole heir of the eccentric
millionaire, Joseph Richardson. left her
new horne, at No. 81 West 9Th street, IN
charge Of a caretaker yesterday and went
away to brood over the peculiarly swift
process of law as she experienced 1t on
Friday
Miss Richardson's fortune, consisting
largely Of income bearing real estate, Is
estimated at something like S3o.oo00o, but
that didn't save her from the city narsflai
when he was ordered to evict her from the
East Houston street house for the non
payment of s75 rent.
The wealthy daughter of the millionaire
who acquired fame by building his famous
spite house" at Lexington avenue ana

street house for years. and only recently
sold it to q cigarmaker for S12.5o0 she
agreed, he said. TO pay SO month rent
until ii was convenient TO move, but on
overhearing him remark thar he had never
expected TO get the property so cheaply,
refused TO pay any more rent In the mean
time she was preparing the house in West
9Th street, which she bought, and was pack
ing her goods for moving.
Upon her refusal to pay however. the
new landlord invoked the law, and so sue
cessfuIy that East Side tenement dwellers
in the neighborhood were treated on Friday
to the sight of one of the most sensational
evictions they had ever been privileged TO
witness.
I'VE were just ready to move anyway,
said Miss Richardson yesterday. when the
marshal broke in and carried out all the
furniture to the sidewalk
The caretaker at the house in West 9Th
