Various devices were employed for surrounding
n recent performance in Boston of the Antigonc
of Sophocles with tho atmosphere of the theatre
of Dionysus at Athens. One of these was the
employment of small oval disks of cclluloid. APP
propriaely inscribed and embellshed. in place Of
the conventional cardboard tickets Of the present
epoch. For the sake of ayerting a misunder
standing We hasten to explain that this means
of illusion was less costly than it otherwise would
have BEEN owing to the fact that small celluoid
disks from an inch TO an inch and a half in
diameter exist in great profuson In the neighbour
ing borough Of Cambridge, being an indspcns-
able appliance in connection with the most pop. lar
Of the optional courses embraced in the curriculum
Of Harvard University. They are employed 10
some extent for similar purpose in other in
stitutions of learning but from the fact that
We hive never conc across the oval variety else
