Description

In the year 1906 the Young Men’s Christian Association of Pittsburgh; in Pennsylvania; rejected the application of an actor for membership on the ground that one of his profession could not be a moral person. Viewing the action as a slur cast on the whole theatrical profession; Mr. Henry E. Dixey; the well-known actor; offered to give one thousand dollars to charity if it could be shown that actors; man for man; were not as good as ministers of the gospel. No champion of the cloth appearing to claim Mr. Dixey’s money on that proposition; he went further and offered another thousand dollars if there could not be found a minister in jail for every state in the Union.
