N%EENSX ers suspect that these
- same tombs should soon
be their churches and their hiding
placesi The first catacombs of Rome
were excavated by wealthy Christians
for their W families, and later, when
extended, the bodies of their poorer
brothers and sisters in the faith were
admitted. The extent of the labyrinths
which undermine the suburbs of Rome
rivals their complexity. In four cen
turtles 500 miles of corridors were cut
from the rock, some of the passages
being 10 feet below the surface.
The passages themselves r only
wide enough for a procession to
march in single file. On either hand
are the sealed inches containing the
bodies of the first Christians. and oc-
casionally an arched doorway leads
into one of the larger crypts, which
were used as chapels in times of per-
secution, in which Easter was GER
tainly celebrated, when the insane
wrath of the emperor drove the Chris
tians to cover.
These chambers which were used
for worship were small and the num-
bers who assembled in them were
limited. There was a raised seat for

byters and a bench about, the wall
to accommodate the ~worshipers.
Frescoes and inscriptions indicate
that the Easter feast was celebrated
with the eucharist in these vaults.
The doors and stairways were some
times blocked, with Roman soldiers
on guard. Then the airholes were
used. and the worshipers were low
cred into the charnel recesses by
ropes.
1t was here that the embryo of mod
ern civilization was nurtured and
kept alive through a period of great
trial and stress. Had Nero's soldiers
known the catacombs as the Chris
tians knew them, the world might
still be laboring along under some
silly pagan creed. The life of Chris
tianity at n time depended upon the
dark and ~seclusion of a tomb.
In the faint, red light of torches
which illumined the sepulchral cham
bers the venerable and courageous
leaders of the little fiocks admins
tered the Easter sacrament to fearful
yet resolute Romans, in whose veins
was all the s%partanism of Rome, made
holier by an ardor and faith which
the presence of men who had seen
and spoken with the Master inspired
st. Peter may have stood in one
of these very cubicula and told OF the
truth and beauty of His life and words
while the distant clank and rattle OF
bronze and steel bore witness to the
soldiery on the search for more prov
ender for Nero's lions.
The beautiful ~pageantry of our Eas-
ter, with its flowers, song, incense,
music and accompaniment of sun
shine and the warmth of spring, con-
trasts strangely with the setting Of the
Easter in the catacombs. There all
was sad and somber, damp and NOR
bid.
The walls, covered with their funer.
al inscriptions, were cold and
moist, the torches Pickering ftfully
in the heavy atmosphere Of the
sepulcher. The Christians, hunted,

After several weeks in vaudeville 1
feel sure that my. opinion Is the same
now as It was before" says William
Faversham. Audiences are no different
in a vaudeville tEeater to what they
are in any other theater, except that I
think they will not endure trash and
cheap sensational appeals IN the dra-
matte portion of the entertainment.
The difference is behind the foot
lights. not before the footlixhts. Tho
atmosphere of Cleanliness ami law and
order Is what imDresses the actor most.
We are in the so-called regular the
nters, so used to dirty STAGES and un-
clean and unlawful dressing-rooms
that, when we go into vaudeville we
are charmed with the sense Of peace
and quiet and order there. I use the
word unlawful because there are GER
tain theaters which would be closed II
the fire department knew where the
people who were playing in the COM
pany dressed. for there would he no
