You say, 'Can't the theatre bo re formed?' I answer, "Yes." 'When?' Just as soon as tho devil is converg ed and not before; the whole business is under his control." You say, 'I only go to the picture shows.' "Well, It Is just a matter of sowing and reaping; sow the pic ture show and you will reap tho theatre." "Edwin Booth once declared he. would have a moral theatre, and ho and his supporters lost ?G,000,000 In the venture." Tho public is to blame. Just let mio press say that a certain show Is low and Immoral and tho managers will chuckle to themselves, for they know that it is an advertisement that will bring tho public flocking to their doors." "Probably many of you did not know that the deck of cards was mndo n the ilrst place to entertain an Idiot ic king, nnd they havo been entertain ing a good many Idiotic people over since." "What does tho young man seo when he enters tho gambling room? A deck of authors? No. A deck of cards just like the one In your stand-table draw er at home." I "Some of you society dames may never become black-leg gamblers; you are worse you are black-leg gam bler manufacturers" "It doesn't matter whether tho sil ver be moulded into the shape of a dol lar, or a cup or a. thimble. Whenever anything changes hands over tho luck of tho cards, it is gambling pure and simple." "You say 'I let my children play at homo so they wont want to play else where.' "Why, you might Just as woll talk of feeding your pigs corn at homo so they wouldn't oat corn If thoy get ovor Into tho neighbor's lot. A Tfrlsc guy, you uro!" "1 had Just an soon send my boys to the saloon to tenoh them sobriety, or my girls to the brothol to teach thoin purity, us to tench my boys to play cards and then hopo that they .would not turn out to be gainblern." "I do thank God that I was brought up by a mother who had both religion and good Bense. I never saw n curd In our homo." 'Well. says a wlfo, 'I play cards with my husband at homo so ho will not go to tho club-rooms or tho snjoons to play.' "Wull. nbout all I have to say is this, what did you marry tho old hog for anyway?" "Men, t nvo you degenerated to that extent that you aro no longor attract ed by tho society of iv pure wlfo and your chlldron, so you must go to tho club or boozo Joint to find your enter tainment? If so, I would suggost that you get a llttlo moro hair and a tall, and be an out and out dog and bo done with It." "In every community wo nnd moth ers, wives and daughters whom It soims would rather seo tholr sons, .husbands and brothers damned ctorn ally In hell than tr givo up their dam nable card clubs." "Some of you girls say, 'I would rather danco than eat,' which In plain English means that you would rather bo hugged than to cat." "You say that these other amuse ments are too tnmo. Yes, that is Just it. You want something that will tiro your blood with sex emotions. It .Isn't that you can't find clean amuse ments you don't want them." "You say, 'It' makes ono graceful to dance.' Well, I would rather my daughters get graco in their hearts than lnt heir heels." "I would rather seo m other two daughters In their graves than in tho embrace of theso vile-hearted dancing masters. Recently ono of theso fel lows confessed that ho had ruined nearly 500 girls In 15 years experience as a dancing master." "Arch Bishop Spalding of Now York made tho startling statement that the work of the confessional rovcaled the fact that 19 out of 20 women who fall and aro lost to virtue can trace tho beginning of their downfall to tho modern dance." "The position of the waltz Is sug gestive of Impurity, and Is not por mlssablo anywhere else In the world In doccnt society except between man 'nnd wife." t'Tho 'Tango' is tho danco of tho na tives of South Americn. Tho 'Grizzly Bear' danco origlnaed with the negroes In San Francisco. Tho 'Turkey Trot' was first seen on the Bowery In Now York, and It Is a well known fact that the old round dance had Its origin in tho low dives of Paris."
