We have reached the opposite extreme
in these days, and startling indeed must
be the spectacular effect that arouses the
admiration of the end of the century play
goer. We have also learned to pride our
selves upon historical accuracy that ex-
tends even to the shoe buckles of the
supers, and the days are completely passed
when an actor could play Cato in full
bottomed wig, or when Julius Cesar could
fill in an awkward pause by taking snuff.
There is one branch of the drama, how
ever, that still permits the most startling
anachronisms, and that is grand opera.
Who has not wondered why Violetta wears
pulled sleeves and Psyche knot when all
the other ''travatas' are in powder and
patches? Why does Lucia always appear
in tartan sash of style centuries old,
over gown made by Worth ct Gle? These
are questions that no man can answer. but
it is worth chronicling that in the garden
scene from Faust" the Tivoli introduced
