Canon James owen Hannay, author of
the popular comedy, General John
Regan," now playing at the Hudson The
atre, and, under the name of George
Birmingham. the writer of many humor-
Gus stories. explained his dual position
Of clergyman and playwright in an in
teresting address Friday afternoon to the
members Of the Drama Society.
"Since l wrote this play. and still mo"e
since l took part in its production in
London, and still further since coming
10 America, ! have found 1t impressed
upon me that / was in a curious, and as
II were. a difficult position.
81 am not inclined to rely very much
on precedent. Ii doesn't seem TO me TO
matter much in considering the right or
wrong Of a thing whether somebody else
has done so before or not But if | want
a precedent for a clergyman acting as
playwright l should go right back to the
Middle Ages and call attention TO the
TACT that modern drama sprang out or
the bosom Of the Church, that apart from
the Church there was no drama; that
the beginnings of the drama were in the
Church, the work of churchmen per-
formed in the sacred buildings themselves.
And I should further quote the curious
and interesting fact that one of the
brightest, most original playwrights, a
lady who by no means confined herself
to sacred subjects, was an Abbess' who
presided over a convent, and that the
plays she wrote were novels. But could
30 further than that, and say that one
of the very earliest secular comedies IN
the English language, IL not actually the
earliest. was written by clergyman.
Bishop. and an Irish Bishop.
Unfortunately, there exists certain
amount Of arrangement between the
Church and the stage; a certain amount
Of prejudice on the part Of churchmen
against the stage. and ] presume a GER
tain amount of prejudice on the part OF
the people connected with plays against
elergymen. / attributed this to the fact
that In England there exists this prejudice
to the very right and proper protest
which Collier made to the drama of the
Restoration. which. as you know, was
exceedingly corrupt. He made strong
protest against the corruption OF the
stage, and created | think, the atmos-
phere Of religious prejudice against the
stage / doubt whether it existed in Eng
and except among the Puritans very
strongly before that. After that time 1t
was general among all classes Of re-
igious people And il 1t was strong in
England II was stronger in Scotland.

CLERGYMEN AND PLAYWRIGHTS
Canon Hannay Speaks of the Relationship Between the
Church and the Stage-Two Writers OF
Popular Musical Comedy.

7 Il think it a very great pity that there
! should exist at all this prejudice in the
minds of churchmen and religious people
! generally against the stage After all.
there is nothing inherently wicked in the
art Of acting. The fact is that all actors
and actresses. when one comes TO know
! them. are simply like great majority
of people Of every other professionalism
working upright. honorable men and
/ women.
! Il look forward TO an approach TO a
/ closer relationship between the Church
| and the stage; | look forward TO it as
| something certainly good for both-good
| for the Church and good for the stage.
| Not for one single moment would
venture to suggest that the clergy should
| act in any way at ali as censors Of the
drama. / hate all censors. and ] think If
! there is a censor whom / should hate
more than any other II would be cleri-
| cal censor The clergy are, as a class.
less capable of judging matter like
| play than almost any other class in the
community and l should look forward
with positive dread to the Church exer-
drama. Nor when | speak Of the in
creasing friendly relations between the
| two should ] venture for moment TO
suggest that sermons should be put on
the stage should be exceedingly sorry
TO see that miracle plays revived. ] DO
not know Of many, nor have ! seen very
many, but when / do come across one
| generally find il one that Is intolerably
! dull.
That is really the case in the morbid
sex play l believe IL would be lam
| entabe thing if the putting OF these
! on the stage should increase. ! do think
| that where the churchmen and the actors
! can approach one another more closely
| is in the matter of personal friendship
! between the members. / should hope that
! considerable number of the clergy get
! into closer personal touch with actors
| that they get on the one hand 10 realize
| the fact that actors and actresses are
not necessarily disreputable. or neces-
sarilv or often immoral; that there is a
bohemianism about their life. and that
this is a bohemiansm entirely virtuous
and right and that on the other hand the
actors and actresses get into closer per-
sonal touch with the clergy and come TO
regard MS less as a kind of horrid or
etherealized Mrs. Grundy. and that at oil
events, we have at least potentialities OF
friendship in us"

Scrape the carrots free from thin
skin on tn eoutside but do not pare
off the deep orange portion, for that
is the best part of the vegetable. Cut
in one-quarter inch slices and cook
IN slightly salted water until tender.
Make a white sauce, using the water
in which the carrots were boiled, and
season well with salt and pepper and
few drops of lemon juice. A pinch
of sugar will do no harm, but do not
use enough to give sweet taste that
is noticeable. Drain the cooked car
rot and raheat the sauce.
