The Church and the Theater

By Editor

Mildred Holland, actress, suggested that an "actors' church alliance" should be organized in Cleveland. She declares that she is not a reformer, and is not trying to elevate the stage, and says that the stage does not need elevating; but she did wish to bring about a friendly coöperation between the people of the stage and the people of the church. The Cleveland Plain Dealer tells us that Cleveland ministers are taking kindly to Mildred Holland's suggestion. It is too bad. It may be safely set down that the church will drop to the level of the theater, and not the theater rise to the level of the church.
