DRAMATIC NEWS
AND COMMENT

Canon James Owen Hannay, the author
II General John Regain" Just before he
'ailed on the Iusitania on Tuesday, De-
,e!nber 2, made a plea for n closer UNI
iersts nding between the clergy and the
actors in the theater. He said:
think that while, perhaps. there
Is some basis for the religious preju-
dice against the stage, and while
there may be a good deal OF reason
for 1t In some plays, that this ought
not TO be extended TO such plays as.
for instance, your society recommends
Its members to so and sec- / look
forward to an approach to a closer
relationship between tho church and
the stage; 1 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 l venture to suggest that the
clergy should act in any way at all
as censors of the drama. / hate all
censors, and / think IL there Is a
censor whom l should hate more than
any other II would be a clerical CEN
sor. The clergy are, as a class, less
capable OF Judging matter like a
the community. and I should look for
ward with positive dread to the
church exercising any kind Of CEN
sorship over the drama Nor when
! speak Of the increasing friendly re-
lations between the two, should I
venture for q moment to suggest
that sermons should be put on the
stage. I know that Mr.. Fay has re-
minded us that sermons. or a kind OF
sermons. were put on the stage IN
the middle ages as miracle plays. 1
should be exceedingly sorry TO see
that revived, do not know Of
many, nor have / seen very many.
but when l do come across one I
generally find 1t one that Is !ntoler-
ably dull And that is really the case
II the putting OF these on the stage
should increase. I do think that
where the churchmen and the actors
can approach each other more close
ly is In the matter OF personal friend
ship between the members. There Is
IN England a society called the Ac-
tors Church union. and similar So
ciety exists, 1 understand, IN the Ro-
man Catholic church. With the work
OF the Actors Church union am en-
tirely familiar, but OF the details OF
its work ! have no time to speak,
nor do l suppose these details would
be particularly interesting. But 1
should hope that considerable num-
Der OF the clergy get into closer per-
sonal touch with actors; that they
get on the one hand to realize the
fact that actors and actresses are
not necessarily disreputab Bile. or nee
essarlly or often immoral, that there
Is Bohemianlsm about their lie,
and that this is a Bohemianism en-
tirely virtuous and right. and that on
the other hand the actors and ac-
tresses get into closer personal touch
with the clergy and come to regard
us less as q kind OF horrid or etheri-
allied Mrs. Grundy, and that at all
events we have at least potenialities

A Shabby Situation.

The United States is really in shabby plight in

that started the thing and persuaded the Neither

courteous if nothing else for II TO fail 10 make pro

Our government officially urged the holding Of the
conference and surely it ought act favoraby upon
it's own initiative
Still more illogical, if possible, is the circumstance
that Congress prohibits the expenditure Of public
funds for such purposes Here we are inviting the
nations of the globe to participate in our Panama
Pacific exposition and expecting governments TO
make big appropriations TO that end. With what
grace can we do that if at the time we pro
claim that we shall ourselves spend money on
such things?
II would cost little for this country 10 send

ample which we wish other nations TO follow IN
our own case Not TO do so would be TO leave our
selves in a humiliating and illogical situation.

age Of such men there We're few whose adventures
rivalled his In picturesque and heroism or
whose discoveries ranked with his in Importance

and It was the glory Of Balboa that he completed
the work of the great Genoese. For Columbus
sought a waterway from Europe to India and
Cathay, and was halted at the isthmus. where he
vainly sought a strait Balboa surmounted that
barrier and found beyond it the continuation Of
the water highway around the world.

is no one whose great work is more incontestable

USE, NOT ABUSE, THE HORN

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir l am inclined 10 agree with the
idea expressed by 3. r. Blanchard in
his letter which you printed this morn

uniform automobile horns. The present
variety OF these is unquestionably con-
fusing.

however, In his severe condemnation OF
what he calls the Outrageous kiaxop."
I come from Seattle where there has
been large amount OF agitation on the
subject OF noise suppression. and where
until recently there has been an ordinance
prohibiting the use OF klaxon horns. In
the course OF the discussion attending the
repeal of this ordnance movement, by
the way, iostered more by non-motorists
than motorists-some facts were brought
out that think throw an interesting light
on the question as raised by Mr.. Blanch-
ard
The function Of the automobile warning
signal is To warn. IL is not TO serenade,
or by means OF inspiring melody create a
feeling OF false security among those who
are IN danger.
am not a motorist. dislike as much
as does Mr. Blanchard, the raucous sound
OF klaxon horns. I think It would be q
highly commendable thing TO enforce a
law which would prevent their use except
when they are actually necessary. There
are times when they are necessary, when
they are vitality necessary. and when a
signal OF a less compelling character
would mean serious consequences
Simply because they are occasionally
abused by a few irresponsible. thoughtless
chauffeurs is no reason why other motor
ists-motoriEi who use them as they
should be used-should be deprived Of
them. I look upon the klaxon horn as
safety device-like any OF the other safety
devices TO which Mr.. Blanchard refers
not TO be used except at times of danger.
The outrageous noise that he refers to Is
