PUBLISHER ASKS
METHOD|STS To
s. LIFT STAGE BAN
J. Henry Smythe, Son of Evan
gsIist, Would End Fight on
Theaters.

NEW YORK, March 31.-J. Henry
emythe. q publisher. of 20s West
Thirty-eighth street, and the son "
the late Rev. ]. Henry Smythe, a
Methodist evangelist. sent q letter
today to the New York conference
OF the Methodist Episcopal church,
In session at Poughkeepsie, urging
the conference to clarity the atti-
tude of the church toward actors
and other connected with the stage.
Referring to the statement Of
Bishop Joseph r. Berry in 1920 at
Atlantic City that mo dancing mas.
ter or actor could get into the
Methodist church without sincere re-
pentance, Mr.. Smythe says:
'The Methodist prohibition of GER
tain enumerated pleasures concerns
mostly Methodists, but the slur on
the actor reflects discredit on all
Christianity. Won't you pass a
resolution stating that actors are
eligible for membership in Metho-
dism. at least in churches of the
New York conference? You need
no permission from general con-
ference to take such action.
Lacking such statement, to raise
this issue, l suggest that the Rev.
DIR. John G. Benson be brought to
trial. At Union Methodist Episco-
pal Church in Forty-eighth street,
west Of Broadway, DR.. Benson well
comes members Of the amusement
profession with open arms-church
style. DR.. Benson would gladly
have this question raised"
Bishop Berry. our senior bishop.
was speaking for the board Of
bishops, in answer to a telegram
for information sent by the Actors
Equity Association on behalf of the
entire theatrical profession. And
no Methodist body has yet repudi-
ated this Pharisaic ban!
1T 10 not the actor who is on
trial. It is the Christianity Of the
Methodist Episcopal church. Meth
odism should return to John Wes-
ley's wise rule: TO avoid the taking
OF such diversions as cannot be used
In the name Of the Lord Jesus
Two years ago you and many
other annual conferences went on
record as recommending that our
amusement blue laws Of 1872 be
rescinded. Nevertheless. the general
conference retained unchanged para
graph 280 Of the book Of discipline,
which forbids Methodists to dance,
play cards or go to the theater
and circus under penalty of expul.
sion. To avoid publicity the qnes.
tion was not even debated on the
floor Of the conference. Initiating
the ostrich will not solve this
question"

Unprecedented success and inquiry

who is directing the show. said the
curtain would drop tomorrow night
at 1890 o'clock, as scheduled.
Last nights crowd of 1900 men
and women swelled the aggregate Mt.
tendance for the week to $4,000.
This was almost as many persons
as were expected during hte entire
show. The fact that the estimated
attendance for the week has already
been reached Is construed by Dircc-
tor Jose and the exhibitors as a
manifestation OF unprecedented In
terest in the automotive industry
and flattering tribute to the ex-
cellence OF the show.
Baltimore Men Entertained.
The guests of honor at the show
last night were the officers and
trustees of the Baltimore Automobile
Dealers Association, headed by ]. II.
Bishop. with Director Jose serving
as guide. All of the Baltimoreans
spoke in most enthusiastic terms
over the success Of the Washington
Automobile Show, the elaborate and
comprehensive exhibits, the tasteful
and attractive decoration OF the
spacious hall, both the size and
quality OF the attendance, and the
keen interest shown by the men and
women spectators. Director Jose was
warmly congratulated, and the Balti-
moreans said they had learned many
| valuable lessons at the show. One
OF the lessons. they said, was that
they had staged their own automobile
show at the wrong time, in January.
and that hereafter they would con-
duct their expositions during the
latter part of March.
