HENS CONDUCT KILLS PLAY
Canon Chase Stops Production
by Church League.

The Mems League OF Christ Church, Bed
ford and Division avenues. WILLIAMSBURG,
had prepared a play called "A Session OF
the Darktown Court" to be produced at
the chapel on Wednesday night, hut Canon
William Sheafe Chase rector OF the church,
ordered that the play he stopped because
ii was understood to be Objectionable.
II was learned yesterday that several
members Of the church went to Canon
Chase and objected to the play and re-
quested that it be withdrawn. Canon Chase
said he had not read the play, but was
satisfied to call 1t off after he had heard
the opinions of others.
II is understood that a hen which was
to have been introduced in the courtroom
scene caused all the trouble. The defend
ant in tho play is accused of having stolen
the plaintiffs chicken. In the trial the
plaintiff tells the court that he can prove
the color and size of his hens egg. He also
states that the hen can lay four eggs with
in half an hour This testimony has 10 be
corroborated TO prove the plaintiffs case,
so IL remains for the hen 10 uphold her
owner. The hen is then brought into the
courtroom and in half an hour lays four
eggs before the very eyes OF the gis-
,rato. George J. Demling, member OF the
church, wrote the play.
