THE BISHOP AND THE PT.Ak . “People verv often compare the ordinary plays of to-day with the best pi avs of the past, forgetting that the best plays of the past are a survival of the fittest, and that a large number o commonplace, ordinary and stupa plays have been completely forgotten. Among the people who go to the theatres there are a number who dim i„. going to a play not because they know very much about it but meie > because it had a considerable run, and sometimes they have to sit in a theatre and watch a series of extremely unpleasant incidents and find themsehe* in an atmosphere which is unwholesome 1 am thinking of a play which ivas performed for some time m a London theatre, ft would have been difficult to have taken out any particular passage in that play and to have said : ‘ This is an indecent passn„e.’ It would have been possible nevertheless, to have said: This play has an evil moral.”’-The Bishop of Southwark.
