With dance there is motion par- ticularly .but here is acting and speech. For many years back the theatre has taken the first place in public amusements and maintains th‘ pbce up to the present day. The theatre is one of the insti- tutions that furnishes amusement for the public. It Is amusement and en- tertainment in the first place as we see it today, and education, instruc- tion and edificatlon in the second. third or fourth place, it” the latter elements are aimed at at all. 01’ course there is good and bad in every thing. The bee (flee to the sweet finwar and extracts the honey and haves the poison behind. And be- tween things good and things had in theatres and shows lie many thing.» There are people that lived thru a happy time of youth and never dan- ced, and others took dancing lessons and learned to cut all the funny and “classic" capers that are and went thru it all without harm and lived thru a very happy youth. So people have never been in a theatre and are perfectly happy and there are others that have gone and go and are happy. Its not the thing itself but rather the person and circumstapces that. surround it. Yek, it was the theatre I was speaking about. THOUGHTS ON THE THEATRE By Rev. Wm.
