ter Mt Orange.
OF scenery, in the ordinary sense Of
the word, there was none at all What
we saw was the real thing In the open
ing scene Of "Gdipus, the king, COM
ing forward through the royal portal
and across the raised platform in the
rear Of the stage, did literally 'enter
from the palace" and did descend the
palace steps 10 the public place"
where Creon and the priests awaited
him 1t was direct reversal Of the or
binary effect in the ordinary theater,
where the play loses in realism because
a current of necessarily appreciated but
purposely rejected antagonistic fact I'M
derruns the conventional illusion and
compels us TO perceive that the palace
is but painted canvas, and even ON the
largest stage only four or five times as
high as the prince. The palace at Or
ange, towering up as though 1t would
touch the very heavens and obviously
Of veritable stone. was most peremp-
tory reality.
The fortuitous accessory of the trees
growing close beside the stage added to
the outdoor effect still another very
vivid touch of realism, and this was
heightened by the swaying of the branch
es, and by the gracious motion Of the
draperies, under the fitful pressure of
the strong gusts Of wind. Indeed the
mistral took very telling part in the
performance. Players less perfect IN
their art would have been Disconnected
by it, but these of the Coincide Franchise
were quick to perceive and TO utilize its
artistic possibilities. In the very midst
of the solemn denunciation of CEdipus
by Tiresias, the long white beard of the
blind prophet suddenly was blown up
ward so that his face was hidden and
his utterance choked by it, and the mo-
mentary pause, while he raised his hand
slowly, and calmly freed his face from
this chance covering, made dramatic
break in his discourse, and added to it a
naturalness which wildly intensified its
solemn import. In like manner the final
entry of Gdipus, coming from the pal
ace after binding himself, was made
thrillingly real For a moment, as he
came upon the stage, the horror which
he had wrought upon himself - his
CHASTITY eyesockets, his blood stained
face-was visible, and then gust of
wind lifted his mantle and flung it about
his head so that all was concealed, and
an exquisite pity for him was aroused
while he struggled painfully to rid him
self of the incumbrance-by the imposi-
ticn Of this petty annoyance upon his
mortal agony of body and of soul
