The theatre habit is absolutely neces-
sary to every group of civilized people
who strive for moral advancement. We
consider it careless and shiftless to be
absent from school or business, that we
impede progress in doing so, does it not
follow that drama loses its fascinating
charm, the magic power of progressive
enlightenment when you consider it a
lackadaisical within to give attention.
Another misconception which undoubt-
edly hurts the true interests of the
theatre is that embodied in the phrase,
"Give the people what they want.
This is indeed a peril. In other words
since it is of the very nature of the
playhouse to represent life-life in nc
restricted sense, but all Of it, the high

low and vile, they should be allowed to

theatres are compelled to operate in
keeping with this demand. Now for so

Let the business man give the people
what they want, but let the enlightened
part of every community teach the PEG

brought an injunction suit against the
unincorporated adherants of the Bap-
fist in Judge Smith s court, Chicago, ILL.,,
to prevent them from using the name
National Baptist, and which was dis
missed in September, 1915, and brought
up again on appeal aud amended bill,
the court again dismissed the iniunc-
ton giving the unineorporated Baptist
the full and legal right to use the name

President Edward P. Jones of the
National Baptist Convention whose
residence is in Evanston, Illinois, feels
that he has dealt Morris and his cor
porated faction one of the greatest
blows since 1915, and that he has estab
lished the principle that there are but
two units among the Baptist people,
that is first, the individual, and second
the Church.

The church has always been cognizant
that a stage play is considered by an
audience as a bit of life and exercises
corresponding power; it would not
have tolerated the silly notion that a
drama bears no relation to life and
therefore is relieved from moral re-
sponsibility; indeed, all private expert
ence gives the idea the lie. Henry r.

Beckett and an admirer one night
thinking to compliment him remarked
that the actor had done much for the

If noble play can effect such re-
suit in the case of the player himself
