|0VER.CHURCHlNG
 BEING DISCUSSED
Church Comity Conference Opens
 in Cleveland

Cleveland, Jan. 20 @- Rep resentatives of 2S Protestant de- nominations, gathered here in a ma tional church comity conference to- day, heard recommendations that they band themselves together in Ian effort to eliminate economic waste by discontinuing unnecessary churches.
 Proposals to build new churches in communities that are poorly served and plans for a five year program of survey and adjustment in the field of interdenomlnationa comity in home mission work were advanced.
 A report prepared by Dr. Her mann N. Morse of New York de- clared that the need for eliminating the over-churching Of communities is drastic.
 There is danger Of the loss Of public confidence if the church does not act quickly and wisely" he said.
 The idea, as expressed in 6 working definition of church con,- ity," already given wide approval is for the different denominations to agree among themselves which churches are 10 be elimin3ted. One of the recommendations is that field shall be considered adequately covered when it has one church for each 1000 population. All evangeli- cal Christians would be admitted 10 such q church without doctrinal tests.
 AS virtually all denominations are represented in the conference ac- ceptance of the principles of comity would be regarded as universal ap- proval.

Iheater Reviews of
 Current Offerings
(By Herald Rsviewsr)

Pride and a false adherence to it. or an adherence to [. false pride. was forcefully portrayed in Garry On" at Parsons theater last night but it was far from light evening entertainment.
 The play, by Owen Davis, is admir- ably we'll acted but is so relentless and driving throughout that one feels as though one had done d hard days work when the curtain goes down.
 A man who so worships family pride that he ruins his family. com plete!y wrecking each individual life, is the subject of Carry On" In order to pay the debts of a fail ing corporation he forced his wife 10 steal the bonds he had received from friend, and which he inteni- ed to use to pay off the corporation debts. forced his son to become a thief and then forced his daughter 10 give up the love of a man she really wanted. for compromising situation.
 There is but slight trace of hu- nor in the play so hard and stern iS the drama, for which, however. one can find but little excuse. It is doubtful whether Garry On" Will ever be made into an enjoyable play. There is no necessity for a play to depict unnatural human beings as does Carry On." If it were not for the disaster caused in the lives of each member of the family in Carry On" the entire piece would be Imaginable and ridiculous.
 Owen Davis Jr.. son of the author, is in the part of a college boy, and does good bit of acting. A short time ago he appeared as the son .n "The Barker replacing Norman Foster in that role when Foster took the juvenile in "The Racket
 Berton Churchill does the father He plays mp his pride and stands like a stubborn mule against all who disagree with him. Beatrice Terry does the wife well and Flora Sheffield turns out good acting as the spineless daughter.
 Carry On" will be at Parsons to- night and tomorrow with a perform ance Saturday afternoon.
