The "0.P." Club

1 Loud(a Chronicle, December 2,1901. FOR AND AGAINST THE RELIGIOUB DRAM*• ' The «0. P." Club last night devoted itself to the consideration of the advis ability of prodacing on oar stage plays dealing with religions matters. Mr H W Messingham, who presided, said that if a chairman might depart from a position of impartiality he would avow himself»lover and follower of the serious drams, the drama which dealt with the spirit of man in hia encounter with the great forces which moulded his existence. It arose from man's at tempt to illustrate and comment on that struggle, and all great matters of real tragedy and macy of the masters of modern tragedy—-Ibsen and Wagner for example—had followed in that coarse, Mr Edward F Spence, in opening the discussion, took the position that it was not advisable to permit on oar stage, plays dealing with religion* mat ters, Speaking from a non-religions, and not an irreligious, point of view, he contended that this drama was harmful because it was calculated to disturb religious beliefs among play goers. Religious belief was, in bis opinion, such an enormously important thing, and soch an immensely valuable asset, that a man whe did not possess it ought not to deprive other people of it. That was a very simple and, he thought, a very sound point of' view, and no gain to art (if there were any -> gain in producing such plays) in the least outweighed that loss. The multi plication of such plays as " Beyond Human Power" would be very harm ful. Other plays such as "Quo Yadts" and " The Sign of the Bed Cross," were essentially irreverent and undesirable, and.certainly dramatic art woold be very much the richer had they never been written or produced, (Hear hear.) In the discussion which followed, Mr Clement Scott declared that the whole thing seemed to him to resolve itself . into a question of taste, and not of art Yon did not discuss questions of reli gion at a dinner party. Such plays »8 the' Sign of the Cross .'be did not consider religions in any way. Mr Cecil Raleigh thought that these plays drew to the theatre quite a new class of people, and therefore. from the point of view of the commercial drama they were good, Uther speakers ar gued, and the bulk of the large audi ence was evidently of this view, that if you leave religion on t of plays you cut the theatre off from a great part of human life, and reduce the theatrical below all other arts. A lady, who confessed that she was a Jewess ami middle aged, made the surprising statement that she had never heard the beautiful story of the origin of the religion properly told till she went to see a religious play in London, Seven out of every eight women, she said, were interested more in religion than in any of the probifms with which raost modern plays dealt, and women composed three-fourths of playgoers. Mr Spence had intended to incorpo rate his opinions in a resolution, bat relinquished this idea after the discos- SIOD.

A MObT REMARK4BLS CASE FIVE DCCIORS BAFFLED CASE CONSIDERED HOPELESS SUFFERING FJR OVER WINS ' LOiNG YEARS Oared at last with that Wonderful Remedy PLANTIKOA OINTMENT Mrs Walter Mullis, Oriental Street, Petone, says :—'* For over nine years I have been through the most torturing agony any human mortal has ever been called upon to pasa through. Anypers3n who may read these lines and who has been unfortunate enough to have had Eczema, will know my condition when I say that for the period above stated I had Eczema in its worst and most painful form on both legs and feot. A.b times they would bleed and run, at others the smarting, burning itch would neatly drive me mad, and I felfc that I could tear myself to pieces to get relief. Afc other i times the swelling would be so great that I could not put a boob on or even pat my foot to the ground. I had always to wear bandages and many's the time I have got l ap XO and 15$ times during the night to attend to the feet and legs, and apply ointment or lotior.s to try and ease the pain. I have often sab on the side of the bid and cried like & child with the tortur ing agony I was in, and wished myself dead. Daring those nine years I was j treated by five different doctors, aud the ' ointment, lotions, and salves I have tried ' could be called Legion, I had made up my mind to go into the Wellington Hospital, and, if nothing could be done, j said I would h=jve my feet taken off if it would only ease my Goffering.' One day my little boy said to me, ' Mother, why don't you try Plantekoa Ointment 'I' I replied that I was sick and tired of trying, j and thought Plantekoa was like a lob of others I had used. However, a faw days j after this a friend advised me to try it, j saying that it was splendid, and that they j had never seen anything like it, so that day j I sent to Mr Eichbaun, chemist, Jackson Street, and got a box, and I have to say that "vfAS the best pubchash! I ever mad?i. i pLAN'WJCOA OINTMENT HASi CURED ME, and my husband often says * It would be cheap if itcost agninea a bos.' As evidence of the change, lam now ; wearing a par of boots that [ threw aside f welve months ago, from the fact that my i feet were so swollen i could not get them on, and now I can wear them with ease and comfokt. I may say there are , scores of Petone residents who know my case, and have known me for a number of years and what a terrible soberer I fyave been. I shall be pleased to answer any enquiries or give further particulars if! desired," Tp others who may be suffering from Ecgama, or any other skin trouble, all we ask Is that you should TBY IT. Once j you use le, it will recommend itself. Obtainable from all leading Chemists and , Storekeepers. j Agent, J. JACKSON, Saundere' Buildings, East Street,
