DENOUNCES THEATER AND THE "M0VIES"
Mission Speaker Says Stage De-

MORAL PLAYS DON'T PAY
Brooklyn Preacher Claims Shows Dc pict Seamy Side of Life Only and Chief Theme is Infidclity of Wives and Husbands.

Chief Theme is Infidclity of l Wives and Husbands.
 "The downfall of the old world
 powers may be directly traced 10
 the theaters of the periods" asserted
 Rev. David E. Anderson, an evange-
 list of Brooklyn, who has been con- ] ducting a mission at the Swedish Bap-
 tist chJfch on Elm street for the past
 ten days at last nights meeting. The 1 little edifice under the pastorate of Rev. J. E. Klingberg was glled to it's | capacity by the parishioners and
 invited guests. The services were 1 opened with prayer led by the pastor. Rev. Mr. Anderson delivered the | address of the evening on the thea ter. An abstract of his address fol- lows:
 Was Solomon Wise?
 l, "The question of the theater needs agitation, there being many reasons for and against it. It has
 often been What is True Pleasure? and we would do we'll to consider tho sayings of Solomon, who was con- sidered the wisest man who ever 1 lived on the subject. He lived in m
 age of wealth and was probably a
 multi-millionaire, for in those days the streets were lined with silver and 1t is supposed every one had a cer- tain amount of wealth. He tried sev- eral forms of pleasure to see which
 was the true form. At first he ga- thered all the wise men about him and discussed the events of the past and present. But he says gaining wisdom is not true pleasure. He then rallied all the wits and humorists about him but later this pal1ed on him. Man is a laughing animal, who is inclined to grow fat, but this plan failed to impress Solomon. He gave himself over to debauchery and after drinking red sparkling wine, he asserted this was all foolishness Likewise he tried agriculture and construction work but claimed neither was true pleasure. He then surround ed himself with musicians and gave himself to the study of music. After trying all these things, Solomon re- Vanity, Vanity all is vexa- tious spirit But then there is 8 question as to his wisdom for he had HOO wives.
 The Theater.
 "I concede that we all need a cer- tain amount Of pleasure but there is a feeling in my mind that the theater is not the proper place to get it. I have never been in @ theater but play actors are like monkeys, al- ways initiating, and furnish some proof of the Darwinian theory. It must be admitted that everyone needs a certain amount of pleasure but 1t should be moral and elevating. The stage is not elevating for the plays presented appeal to the lower nature of man and not to his higher and bet ter senses. Then there is the ten dency to attend to often. Even good pleasures are sometimes indulged in too much. It is all right to play baseball two hours a day. but it becomes tiresome when one sticks to it for an entire day. The word thea ter Is mentioned just twice in the Bible and both times in derision. In

l only the influence of Shakespeare } saved the stage.
 Modern Times,
 ' Great artists of modern times have tried to elevate the stage by producing only moral plays, but they have failed as the box office receipts 1 will attest. Booth and Irving both 1 agreed that moral plays would not take. The trend of ninety-nine per cent. of modern plays is based on the inf1delity of matrimony. Rousseau once said: Tn all cases theaters are schools of vice. Great artists of to- day, even those connected with the profession, feel the theater is not the proper place for their families Ma cready said: None of my family can visit actors or theaters.' Mary An derson once noted that she had turned aside twenty stage-struck girls from following the life. Dumas once told a friend not to take his daughter 10 see one of Dumas masterpieces. There is need of a censor for the managers are so imbued with the spirit of making money that they do not look at the moral side of the uues- tlon but produce anything that will bring a crowd. Chinese and Ja-
 
 shocked to see the nudity and inde- cency shown on our stage
 Effect on Actors.
 There have been innumerable cases in actors lives where. after playing a part, their minds become unbalanced and this lessens their value as citizens Irving committed 15,O 900 murders in his time and the general theme of the modern play is the betrayal of women. The theater presents only the seamy side of life and instead of turning the minds of the audience to higher and better filings, lowers it considera bly,.
 Theater Opposes Religion.
 Then again the theater is an opponent of religion, for the latter is often ridiculed on the stage. Re- ligion is real and serious and should Lot be played with The theater is nothing but mimicry. Take the play Experienced Every passion is de- picted on the stage, the evil side of i life is shown and the good scarcely mentioned. The church is serious. the theater childish; the churchs ] emblem is the cross, the theater's the rattle. Therefore, let us turn to the i higher things of life and seek solace 1 in religion, which after all Is the only true happiness.
 Movies, Too
 1 'The movies are worse than the theater The price of admittance is so low that children find little diff culty in entering. At the theater ! the moving picture presents sensa- tional scenes, perverts the passions 1 and depicts murder. Mimicry, mimi cry, all is mimicry. The movies also 1 oppose the church for they are run l on Sunday in competition with the l church. The physical effect of them is bad. for the buildings become stuffy and the eyes are subjected to 3 constant strain. There is some good in the theater, but I am against the institution whole, for what t stands, mimicry and the depicting Of passions and the lower things of life. The lives of the artists are hard for they are constantly sub jected to portraying the evil side of life. Therefore let us turn to re- ioin no tor

Just take your shoes off and then
put those weary, -crinkled, ach-

Your toes will wriggle with joy;

and then they'll take another dive
in that "Tiz" bath.
When your feet feel like Jumps of

It's grand-it's glorious. Your feet
will dance with joy; also you will
find all pain gone from corns, bun

There's nothing like 'Tiz." It's the

your feet and cause foot torture.

MAY IS BUILDING HER HOUSE

MAY is BUILDING HER HOUSE.
May is building her house. With ap-
pie blooms
She is roofing over the glimmering
rooms,
Of the oak and the beech hath she
builded its beams,
And, spinning all day at her secret
looms,
With arras of leaves each wind-sway-
ed wall.
She pictureth over and peopleth it all
With echoes and dreams,
And singing of streams.
May is building her house. Of petal
and blade,
Of the roots of the oak is the floor
ing made,
With carpet of MOSES and lichen
and clover,
Each small miracle over and oyer,
And tender, travelling green things
strayed.
Her windows, the morning and eve
ming star,
And her rustling doorways, ever ajar
With the coming and going
Of fair things blowing.
The thresholds Of the four winds are.
May is building her house. From the
dust of things
She is making the songs and the
flowers and WINGS;
From October's tossed and trodden
gold
She is making the young year out
of the old;
Yea, out of winters flying sleet
She is making all the summer
sweet.
And brown leaves spurned of No
vember's feet ].
She is changing back again to spring
green and gold. =
