The Western end of the state will
be disappointed over the selection of a
New York City man for the vacancy.
Judge Cuddeback was from the neigh

The friends Of Mr.. Elkus. as soon as
Judge Cuddeback died, strongly urged

while New York City has two judges
on the Court of Appeals bench, about
three-fourths of the business of the

Golden Dcnounces Attack
John Golden denounced the asser-
tons of DR.. Straton "At no time in
the history Of the drama has it been
in such healthy condition rs now,
when plays of wholesome appeal, OF
purpose and patriotism dominate the
market" he said. DIR Straton is one
of those who stand in front Of leg
show billboard and by the nudity of
the figure thereon measures the morals
of the entire theatrical profession"
"Bit Too Rough. Says Peggy Wood
Peggy Wood, starring in "Buddics,'
said:
"The reason plays of the sort DR..
Straton complains Of succeed is that
We of the stage do not want to ap
pear In salacious plays.
"Most of us groan every time we
hear of new bedroom farce to be
produced. Many girls have given up
the theatrical profession because theS
could not bring themselves to ply.S
suggestive roles. When actors them
selves produce Il play It can never be
criticised on that ground. Tho actors
strike showed the moral fiber of which
our people is made. | think Dr. Stra-
ton has been bit rough on us.
Fay Banter, of the east Is Vest
company, treated the clergymuns re-
marks as something of joke.
"Why, the man is mid Victorian" she
said. "He is living in the day when
actors were travelling minstrels. He
doesn't seem to realize that to-day they
are among the worlds greatest artists.
l think DR.. Straton, like good many
others, received a misleading idea of
tho stage from some of the speeche 9
made during the strike. The need for
an organization to protect girls of the
stage was urged as a reason for al
actors union. II wasn't necessary, but
it has set us back fifty years in public
respect"
Harrison Gray Fiske, producer, com
mented:
"No enlightened man, having any
knowledge Of the facts, would make
such statements. IIc is not living IN
his time and doesn't belong here now.
He is an anomaly of 1919. He belongs
back in the dark ages"
Among others who defended the pro
fession against DR.. Straton's attack
were William II. Thompson. now play

actor, Felix Adler, and now ono of the

Stage Folk Defend Morals
Against Pastors Attach
Facts, Say Leading Actors, Adding He Bases
Views of Profession Few Salacious Plays

Leading members Of the theatrical
profession heatedly resented yesterday
the reflections on the standards and
morality of stage folk made by DR..
John Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary
Baptist Church.
DR.. Straton had declined to partici-
pate in church celebration in behalf
of the Actors Memorial Fund because,
he said, "the modern theater has been
prostituted on the affairs Of CONNER
cialism and the moral life of actors
and actresses is deplorably low"
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Coburn, CO.
stars in "The Better ole" character
lied DR.. Straton's remarks as Stupid,
unwarranted, and due in the main to
Grass ignorance"
pr. Straton can have no conception
cobu na saa as he would NOT ha 1s
made any such attack. The moral
standards Of stage people never were
higher.
Says Majority Suffer for Few
"He picks out bathing girls and few
salacious plays as examples of what
the stage has come to. These do not
represent the real theater and are a
form of entertainment the growth of
which is due to the encouragement OF
it's clientele rather than to the ideals
of their producers"
Mr. Coburn said statistics show there
are more clcrgymcn in penitcntiaries
than actors.
Besides" he added, eve don't con-
denim all clergymen as murderers be-
cause q clergyman recently was electro
mitted by theatricst people 1t is mat
ter Of individual waywardness and
should not be blamed upon the entire
profession"
Miss Ethel Barrymore said DR..
straton's attack was .'too ridiculous to
dignity with a reply"
Regrettable, Says Lackayc
Wilton Lackaye, playing the leading
role in "Palmy Days" said
This is the first large movement
of the people of the theater in which
thy have invited the advice. coopera
ton and assistance of the clergy. With
such an admirable opportunity to ad
wise and direct, it is regrettablc trat
this gentleman can only stand a1oof
and criticize.'
at is unfortunate there is certain
commercialism in the thcater, but we
known of any attack such as DR..
Straton's, except by commercial min
lister who is trying to get some free
advertising. To say there are thinga
wrong in the theater may be true
There are some of US trying TO correct
those evils. Let the clergy aud decent
people hold up our hands Above all.
