 T attended 8 performance of your play at the Bijou Theatre last night, and l wish to say to you that The Confession, represents accurately the doctrine and practice Of the Catholic church upon the obligations Of the priest to preserve inyiolate. the con fidence he receives from the peni- tent The play seems to me very <. oKg tender and well constructed. It tells story dear to my Catholic heart; one we would be glad to have the whole world see.
 Although attending during the lenten season, found nothing i'll your play to offend conscience, hut on the other hand, was most pleas ed with the absorbing story, and the great moral truth which you have so splendidly and fearlessly presented.
 T gladly advise all loyal members of the Mother Church to see The Confession, as after having seen it myself, l know it will be of great and lasting benefit to them.
