It is intriguing to me that he nods to Brother Brigham’s having established the theatre in Salt Lake on the grounds that it would come under the censorship of the church but ignores Brigham’s reason for encouraging the theatre. Brigham had opined that a value of theatre was the vicarious realization of the consequences of evil choices. If there were no evil in the theatre then it would have been difficult to demonstrate.

Not that I am defending inuendo and vulgarity. And certainly we have our own counsel against those today. I suppose it’s fortunate that not ALL entertainment today falls under that umbrella.
