Manager Bebnaed. I am aware that the theatre has become associated in many minds so indissolubly with immorality and vice, that it re- quires some courage to approach a subject that is almost tabooed among the innocent and good. I certainly do not intend now to discuss the question whether the theatre is ne- cessary and hopelessly bad, or whether its defects and vices are accidental and extrinsic, while it may contain within it, that which addresses itself to the highest qualities of the in- te...llect and the taste, and might be made — ^under widely different conduct — auxiliary to national cultivation and re- finement. But, good or bad, it may be a serious question for the moralist and the legislator, whether the wisest course has been pursued in regard to it. Nothing is more certain in political philosophy, no lesson is more deeply imprinted on History, than that a Government or community can produce in every human subject, be it man, or woman, or tribe, or sect, or clan, or nation, the criminal it severely proclaims it to be.
