JANUARY 29, 1921 “The Billboara EDITORIAL COMMENT > (Ocntinued from page 42) cay it is the duty of the ministers of the Gospel and of the churches of today to try and clean up ALL this rotten work. Clean up the ministry and then the church members, and then appeal in a kind but forcible way to the theatrical people to clean up. the rotten things Within their walls, and I am sure, as my experience has taught me, Gur theatrical people will co-operate (ith us in this ‘clean-up? None of us js perfect, and no man or woman was ‘ever made as near perfect as possible by blasting theaters or anything else ‘as Dr. Boynton and Evangelist Dow have done in their sermons. As a minister of the Gospel I know it is necessary to come down ‘mighty hard on some of the sins of the present day, but sorely there a better way to overcome the sins and rottenness of today than the method used by. the two preachers gn question. If this is the only ‘way, then I fail to see the meaning of Christ's teachings when he advises the ers to ‘correct’ the faults tna Zins in men and women. I fail to fina 4 anything in the Scriptures advising preachers to blast and damn everything outside thelr own walls. My advice is, use @ little judgment, @ little more common sense“ and“ kindness, and preach a full, Gospel, and we'll reach all people and upset all rottenness. “Yours for good, clean, healthy sports and amusements and a true Christian Nation.” NEW PLAYS {Continued from page 30) his trade-mark and bis curse, His monotonous voice and his complete inability to simulate vigor of any kind is very trying, even if he does not offend in the more common and obvious faults of other actors. As tho Rajah ho is as villainous as he could ever be, but it is ‘an apologetic villain at best. There is none of the Himalayan mountain tiger crawling under the veneer of a course in esthetics at Cambridge. ‘There is nothing Orlental in his characterization. ‘The Rajah is just George Arliss with a turban on, It is not to be understood that he gives a bad performance. Far from it. Recognizing his lmitations and considering the insurmountable obstacle of playing a character to which he can bring nothing but a cold, polished technique, his Rajah Js excellent. It is not the things he does that are disappointing, but the ocean of possibilities the role offers for an ambitious, adventurous stage navigator. he leaves untried. ‘The valet of Ivan Simpson is flawless, Cyril Keightley is an occasionally articulate scientist, and Herbert Waring is an always inarticu late husband of Olive Wyndham “Lucilla.” Migs Wyndham is a pretty girl, with affectations of speech which are maddening to me.
