NEW YORK, December %.
CCORDING to last Sundays
n pulpit, the stage is still incor-
IA rigible, despite the punishment
it suffered in the case OF Miss
Mae Vests The Sugar Man, ,"
whatever that was. Though threatened
every now and then with the district
attorneys trunk strap, it proceeds In
its deviations from the path of virtue.
Earlier in the season. when the officers
of the law were brandishing their
switches and threatening to take cul-
prits to the woodshed, there was hope
that an end, as the saying goes, hao
been put to the unseemliness upon
the boards. Yet here are DR.. Harry
Emerson Fosdick of the Park Avenue
Baptist Church and Father John M.
(iillis. editor of the Catholic World,
announcing that the drama has broken
its parole and is at present, as much
as ever it was, addicted to sinful habits.
DR.. Fosdick has made the surprising
discovery that vulgar show can play
to $4,000 per night, while a kid glove
art work must struggle to get that
much per week. He, the most per-
suasive of preachers, says that TINS
sorry condition is not the fault OF the
drama, but of its wllful customers.
The producers, consecrated to public
service, therefore give it to them, be-
lieving that by doing so they do their
duty. This function. DR.. Fosdlck SuS-
poets, is that of an innocent panderer,
ambitious to be something better. what
he would like to see in Times Square
are dramas enjoyable to the church
and drama league, whose slogan IS
Here is a good play; back 1t up!"
Father Gillis announces that "12
or IS of the current shows on Broad
way are as vile as anything that ever
appeared in Babylon. Indecent, las
civious relics of paganism. they make
the theatrical district of New York the
feper spot of our city" Neither he nor
Dr. Fosdick mentioned the offenders
by name.
IT is prudent, no doubt, thus to keep
the danger places secret, since ex-
posure might tempt the foolhardy to
visit them. Perhaps it would be bet
ter If the newspaper reviewers were
TO adopt the policy of the clergymen,
and when they meet with what they
think is harmfulnesS upon the stage
TO mention it only in a general way.
One persists, however, in being curious
as to which among the current enter
tainments are regarded by DR.. Fosdick
and Father Gillis as malign. Do they
frown at THE Front Page" because of
Its untidy language and at "Jarnegan"
for its pollution of the sacred cinema
fonts of Hollywood? Is Miss Dorothy
Gish anathema as she appears so in
nocently in the unconventional SEX
foursome entitled Young Love-? What,
one wonders, is their reaction toward
STRANGE Interlude' and to Mr.. Harpo
Marks dime museum display of his
person in Animal Crackers? Are Mr..
Harry Richman's Irritation with SOU
hrettes a menace or blessing, and
are his amorous serenades suitable to

more than usually arduous in this case,
because players had to be chosen
who were good at dialect. Some of them
had to be able to speak convincingly

Others had to utter the broken English

deep sense of the theater. originating

that his father was James ONeill,
who so long and successfully played
up and down America as the Count of
Monte Cristo. His middle name, which
he used to indicate with &c" in his
signature, but which has now been
dropped. is Gladstone.
The original scripts of his plays are
all in his possession, where they re-
