Certainly Puritanism did not make

AS matter of fact, both these plavs

They took court action against
Mrs. Warren's Profession" and threw
up their hands in horror at "The Show

that they were sacreligious. In fact
we think that practically every first

years would be Objectionable to the
Puritan. 1t must be remembered that
the thoroughgoing Puritan, who is held
up to our admiration by Or. Straton.
must needs be shocked by anything
great in the theatre because he was
constantly being shocked by life. That
was inevitable since he believed that
mankind was essentially wicked to the |
point of being saved from damnation
only by the miraculous intervention of
God. Therefore, anything which dealt
with life as it is must needs be i'm
moral.
We have no great sympathy with the
cry for a clean stage. For our part we
would rather see little more dirt and
