Church Skyscraper Going Up

Growth of the institutional church
system is responsible for a large
measure of success in increasing
church membership, it is explained.
About to erect a 20-story building
to be used exclusively for religious
purposes, Cleveland, Ohio, congre-
cation illustrates the newest phase
of the institutional idea. This church
skyscraper is to be erected in the
center of Clevelands business dis
trict It's hundreds of rooms will be
used for Sunday school meetings,
gymnasium activities, a restaurant,
church Offices, and probably such
things as bowling alleys, q, swimming
pool and other recreational practices.
The skyscraper church is the most
extensive development of the insti
tutional church idea. On a less pre-
tcntious scale, thousands of church
congregations are carrying out the
same idea of attracting young men
and women through games. athletics,
movies and even dancing.
Reports received ia Washington in
clude protests from many ministers
and laymen against the growth of the
institutional church idea. The bur-
den of these complaints is that re-
ligion should be of sufficient appeal
to attract converts without worldly
furnishings" Despite complaints.
however more and more churches are
developing the idea, according to the
religious headquarters here.
The institutional idea began to be
developed about 10 years ago. the re-
ports show. In 1910 one noted min
lister won applause when he publicly
advised clergymen in the big cities to
send out bands and torchlight process
sions to fill their pews. if not enough
listeners could be attracted in other
ways.
Sunday schools have nearly as
large a membership as churches, the
census shows.
Religious organizations are spend
ing more than $300,000,000 a year to
carry on their domestic work.

OF ANATOLr WITH
 SEVEN STARS AT GALAX

From the standpoint of cast, The Affairs of Anatol," Cecil B. DeMllie nroduction at the Galax, is one of the most sensational pictures ever pro- duced. It bears the unusual distinc- tion of starring seven real stars and other actors of repute. The stars are Wallace. Reid, Gloria swanson, Theo- dore Roberts. Bebe Daniels. Elliott Dexter, Wanda Hawley and Agnes Ayres all of whom have prominent roles in the story.
 'The Affairs of AnatoP Is an adaptation of French story of Q handsome young husband who had too many admirers among the fairer sex. His wife, who Is quite the fair est of them all, is woman of broad minded ideas and tries gloriously to overlook the affairs of her husband until one takes place right under her nose and proves to be the pro verbal straw that broke the camefs s back Then in grand denouement things come to sadly needed climax and "the affairs of Anatof' to close.
 Wallace Reid is debonair and at tractive as the dashing Anatol. Gloria Swanson is a beautiful selection for the wife. and plays her wifely role to perfection. Wanda Hawley is an incorrigible little flirt. and her role suits her saucy blonde type. Agnes Ayres is the heroine of one of the affairs and Bebe Daniels is darkly attractive as a woman of mystery. Theodore Roberts and Elliott Dexter both have roles of the usual type in which they are found.
