and said:

! want you to build me theatre on
the East Side, as the East Siders are
the people who really appreciate art"
Then, with a sweeping gesture toward
tho boxes, she called out:
at isn't necessary TO sit in the boxes

lovers Of art way up there in the gal
leries. which are not fit 10 house human

RECTOR DENOUNCES
SUNDAY CIRCUS"
Cheap and Vulgar Sensation
aIiSt." He Tells Wine Men
al Dinner.

Five hundred members Of the Amer
lean Wine Growers Association loudly
applauded the Rev. William A. WATSON
last night at their annual dinner In
the Waldorf. There were a few Kisses
when the retired Episcopal clergyman
who said he left the pulpit to preach
real temperance against the so-called
temperance of prohibition, assailed
Billy Sunday and reformers:
Some of the people of this country
are problemaniacs," said DR.. WATSON,
"who are possessed with the deluslon
that they must solve certain problem
to save the nation. They NEEDLE with
the morals of other people. They think
they can make everybody good by their
own standards and they work them
selves into a state Of frenzy over it.
I'VE see a striking illustration in the
Billy Sunday circus exhibited IN Phlla'
delphia these last few weeks. Billy
Sunday Is a true leader Of the type oil
men / have specified. lie Is called .
true leader, but he shows only EVIL
dences OF religious insanity. His con-
verts believe they have found religion
but really they have lost their mental
balance.
"The best can say of Billy Sunday
and his methods or his religion Is thai
they are on a dead level with Billy
Sunday himself. To my mind he IS :
very cheap and vulgar sensationslist.'
