 After invading nearly everything in contemporary life the cinematograph finally has been utilized to project the principal episodes of the Passion Play" Twenty years ago Salm1 Morse, who made the hair of San Francisco stand on end with this nor bid spectacle, attempted to repeat 1t in what is now Proctor's Theater, New York, but public indignation drove the production from the stage. In Boston the cinemetograph recently did prof itable business with the scenes of the Crucifixion and the Last Supper, and the other afternoon the same scenes were projected in the New York Eden Musee for the benefit of an audience composed mainly of newspaper men, and which resulted in nothing more serious than a column of free adver- Using in each of the papers. The Her aid man says:
 "In speaking of sacred subjects one hesitates to descend to anything triv- ial. but. really the donkey in the Flight into Egypt, who, after the Virgin is helped from the saddle, turns and be- gins to eat grass by the wayside, was one of the most realistic bits in the whole series.

 At the recent meeting of the incorpo- rated Society of Musicians in London Sir John Stainer discoursed earnestly on the question as to whether the state ought not to interfere in what is be- coming a serious danger to musical life the growing number of incompetent and brazen music teachers, whose op- erations are often extended so ingeni- ousy that honest teachers are crowded to the wall. As the state protects mu- sical property by copyright be sees no reason why it should not also interfere to save poor, confiding mothers and widows from wasting their little all on charlatans. The speaker inclined to the opinion that there ought to be a representative body, with statutory power of licensing teachers after duly testing their qualifications.

 Therefore, 1t is to be supposed that in MT.

and circumstance with which theatri- cal tradition has invested him. Rome B. c. A and 43 is said to be none the less picturesque, but much more excit- ing and human as it is now pictured by Alma Tadema. The stage of the theater has been ruthlessly sacrificed to Mr. Tadema's ideas of illusion and realism. In order to enhance natural ness and get the desired effect of pala- tial architecture, all the proscenium borders and draperies have been re- moved The entire height of the stage is disclosed, and the towering buildings are represented with magnificence never hitherto attempted, even at the Lyceum.
 The scene on which the greatest pains have been lavished is that of the Fo- rum. In MT. Trees version all the events of the second act transpire here including the assassination of Caesar and the oration of Antony. And every inch of the enormous stage is utilized and thronged by a crowd several hun dred strong.

Columbia.

The Columbia is rapidly being put into. shape and will reopen, handsomer than ever, it is promised, on Friday night, with the new star, Harry Corson Clarke and his new company. Then we shall find out just what did happen to Jones.
 MT. Broadhurst's piece, What Hap pened to Jones' which personally he has been rehearsing for several weeks, is farcical comedy in four acts. The story treats of one Ebenezer Goodly, professor of physical culture His family consists of wife, her maiden sister and two beautiful daughters. They are expecting a visitor in the per son of the Rev. Anthony Goodly, who it appears has been living in the An tipodes for over thirty years and has been in constant correspondence With his maiden sister-in-law. The first act opens with the household in furry of excitement and preparation, as he IS expected momentarily. In the mean time a suitor for the hand of one of MT. Goodlys daughters induces Eben- ezer to accompany him to glove con- test in the interest Of anatomy, ana, after some persuasion, the professor goes. The contest is supposed to take place in private cluD, ana the pollce raid the place.
 The professor and the young man es- cape and are pursued by what they suppose is a policeman, but who Is none other than fellow-spectator, who is being pursued himself. This man enters the house few minutes after the professor and after few ex- plantations relates how he has whipped the policeman, and the complications begin. This is Jones. He is sort of drummer, who lives by his wits, and says. in explaining his business, that when he strikes slow town he sells prayerbooks, a lively town playing cards" As the police are around and in the house ali the time they are com- pelled to shield Jones, and to the fam ily he is introduced as the reverend brother of Ebenezer. The spurious and the genuine Revs. Goodly meet in many situations that are pledged to be funny. So the story complicates itself through three acts.
 In the company supporting MT. Clarke are his mother, Mrs. Adele Clarke; Miss Affie Warner, J. B. Polk, John Allison, Miss Maude Allison, Miss Clara Rainford and H. S. Northrup.
