and they have not been moved to heed
the protests made.
The campaign against the unwhole-
some drama has been rendered inef-
fective, too, through the lack of a gem
eral remedy that might be effectively
applied. In the pulpit, especially,
there seems to be wide difference of
opinion Some ministers believe that
there should be strict censorship of
all plays staged. Others do not recogi-
nize the drama and theater in any
form and believe that the modern
stage is an institution that should be
extirpated, root and branch, not re-
formed.
The clergymen of ST Louis set aside
Sunday on which they preached
sermons Nconjointly On the modern the
ater. One of the ministers, Rev. DR..
Fayette l.. Thompson, pastor of the
Lindell Avenue Methodist Episcopal
church did not share the view of some
of his ministerial colaborers that the
church did its whole duty by renounc-
ing the theater. He took the position
that the drama is the Child of the
church" and, said he, I'VE have. to
take hold of it and restore it to it's
once high mission as teaching force
for good"
DR.. Thompson says the theater is
here to stay and we ought to make the
best of 1t. He held that the theater
may become great moral force, but
cannot reach the true greatness until
actuated by great moral impulse.
Here are some of the remedies DR..
Thompson would suggest:
Resolve on a universal discriminate
ing attitude towards the entire theater
problem.
Unequivocal and sharp condemna-
tion of the sensuous accessories and
adjuncts that now exist.
Unequivocal approval and support
of what is worthy of public con-
fdence.
Schools and society should protect
children on the theater problem, as in
social questions; they should be given
campaign of education.
Give matter of theatrical attendance
same discrimination as in choice of
reading matter or social intimates
The church, press and schools have
distinct duty to perform in educat-
ing the public on the theater problem.
