GIGANTIC PLAN TO REVERSE A CITYS SLOPE.
eston Propose to Raise the Gulf Front Fifteen Feet
CltiZens OF Galveston Propose
the Reach of Any Future
Tidal Wave-Also Want a
Great Sea Wall.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC
IF the necessary State and Federal aid
can be secured, Galveston will be placed
beyond all danger from a reoccurrence
OF the fearful flood of September last.
The plan by which II Is intended to
achieve this immunity Is a gigantic one.
1t is proposed to raise the gulf side Of the
city to an elevation Of at least fifteen feet,
construct a great breakwater from the
south along the whole city front. slope the
city from the gulf to the bay. and permit
the construction Of none but substantial,
well-built structures within the city limits
The storm Of September wiped out from
5000 to 1000 lives. destroyed nearly 5000
dwellings. caused an erosion along the gulf
front Of various depths and resulted in a
direct property loss OF more than $4,000 900.
How much the Indirect loss. that intangible
effect that depends upon public 4enti-
ment and the future Of the city, amoupfs to,
or Will amount to, can never be computed.
The people Of Galveston do not expect a
recurrence Of that awful visitation. II they
did they would abandon the city. They do,
however. appreciate that they must 30 safe
guard the island that the confidence of the
outssds world win be restored. and that

cans are to our sacred "a's" and ''u's" and

them. We chop them. we strange them. and
We drop them altogether. We close our
throats and contract our chests and con-
gest our diaphragms. while we try to make
our tongues and our teeth and our noses do
all our vocal work. We are the slaves OF
colloquialisms-tie bond-servants Of care
lessness.

They say that II the sea rose fifteen feet
during the hurricane they will raise the
city fifteen feet on the sea side. or II IT
can be shown that the water reached any
greater elevation. they will raise the city
to that elevation on the sea side.
To change the grade Of the city and to
construct this bulwark against future
storms will cost a great deal. Galveston
Is poor. Including her dead and those who
left the city after the storm more than 25
per cent Of the population are gone. In
order to make 1t possible to carry out the
plans for the city's protection the State of
Texas and the national Government. each
OF which has interests to protect in the
city. will be asked to lend assistance
The people themselves expect to bear the
expense of raising the city's grade. and
eievating the houses that are thought too
low. 1t is estimated that the cost OF this
work will exceed 31.000 coo. To enable them
to meet this expense. 1t is proposed that the
State appoint commission to administer
the affairs Of the city and county Of Gal
weston until conditions warrant the dis
charge of the commission; and also to
abate State and county taxation for such
period Of time as Is requisite to release the
city from embarrassment.
The city slopes each way from Broadway.
According to the plan under which the
citizens are now proceeding. the city . to
slope from the new l5-foot level at the gulf
shore to the present level at the bay shore.
This means that the existing grade at
Broadway will be raised two feet, while the
elevation between the gulf and Broadway
will be much greater. North Of Broadway
there will be little change In the grade. All
the business buildings OF the city are north
Of Broadway. 50 there viii be no need of
disturbing them. South of Broadway, which

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
NH ANY stage people are in some re-
MI spects like kindergarten pupils. 1t
lv1 is not enough TO tell them when,
where and how to do thus and so; 1t is nec-
essary to illustrate plainly before them the
time. the manner and the doing of the
things that are TO be done.
Not all Of them are from Missouri; but
nevertheless they have 90 be shown"
For this reason contend that an essen
tial to successful stage management IS re-
hearsal with the scenSs set. Take a group
of chorus people-a most important part OF
an operatic production-as an example.
Put them on a bare stage and tell them a
table Is a bridge. chair is tree and a
trapdoor is a conservatory. Their serious
imagination is not appealed TO. but their
sense Of the ridiculous is. And even IL they
do not laugh. they forget: and presently
they are standing behind the trapdoor In
stead Of the chair and coming in at the
point market by the chair instead OF at
that indicated by the table.
Children-all Of them.
But what happens IL the stage Is set? II
there is bridge where the stage manager
says there is bridge2 A tree where the
stage manager says there is tree? A con-
servatory where the stage manager says
there Is a conservatory?
They neither ridicule nor forget They
take IT all seriously. and they remember
Therefore. as far as / possibly can, 1 al
ways have the stage set for rehearsal-not
as artistically. but as fully-as for a per-
formance.
Tase the opera "Aida." for instance. In
N recent production in the East we had
800 vNtra people to be drilled into perfec-
tson. To have attempted TO take them
through their imaginary faculties would
have been a long and wearisome task. In

The value of a clear, distinct. musical
enunciation in stage work would be hard to
overestimate. In any line. 1t is desirable:
in grand opera I'm English IT Is inestim-
able. There was time when indistirctness
was a fad. The ranting number OF words
the tumultuous screecher of indistinct
sounds-were the favorites. Happily the
fad has passed: but. unhappily. the example

A General Summary
and . Bit Of MoralizinG.

But why continue indefinitely, as would b
necessary II 1 should attempt to set down
on paper all the reflections that coma to me
as the result of some score Of years a. q
stage manager? The subject could not be
exhausted In a newspaper article. nor In .
book. nor In a library of books. Let me
summarize q bit. and then dismiss the sub.
Ject:
A stage manager should know human ma
ture as thoroughly as possible and be guild
ed by that knowledge rather than by any
set Of rules or preconceived notions In the
management Of those whom he Is paid to
manage.
He should inspire self-confidence In pr1n-
cipals and chorus by considering them and
treating them as persons who have a share
Of the responsibility upon their shoulders.
whose individuality and ambitious perform
ance Of duty count for something
He should insist upon rigid obedience to
orders. and. more than that. upon respect
for orders. by all. whether Of the principals.
of the chorus or Of the extra people.
He should impress the necessity for care.
even in the smallest matters-the lifting Of
a foot, the time in which a turn should BE-
made. the raising Of a finger. and even The
elevation OF an eyebrow. and never forgive
careiessness.
He should remember that the public Is to
be pleased. or his occupation viii be gone.
The public Is the first thing to be consid-
cred: 1t is the real employer. The manage
rent Is merely an intermediary, dependink
for its success wholly upon the degree IL
favor with which the public receives the
production. Keep full faith with the pub
lie. and the public will show a strictly tusx
appreciation; break faith with the public,
and. no matter how superior your talenfa,

lmpressine His Ideas of
How to Do the Thine.

Which brings up another subject-that Of
strongly impressing the people who are to
do the work with a knowledge that the
stage managers ideas upon the subject are
clear and that they must prevail.
This has to be done promptly. firmly and
repeatedly. The question cannot be argued.
The stage manager may not know as much
about It as does the one whom he is man.
aging: but the company pays him his SAL
ary on the theory that he does, and he
must sustain the company's theory. This
cannot be done IL he stops TO argue. Ar
gument fosters differences; and differences
have no place in the production Of an opera
or of play of any kind.
Fancy the prirna donna soprano, the
tenor. the bass and each individual MEM
ber Of the chorus playing and singing as
her or his individual opinion prompts.
There would be such a conflict OF ideas
and execution as would muddie the produc-
tion and disgust the audience.
You remember the Hindoo fable Of the
six blind men who examined an elephant? !?
1t was reproduced in The Republic last
Sunday, SO it has a new life in the public
mind. None of the blind men knew what
an elephant looked like; but they investi-
gated and reported. nevertheless. Having
no sense Of signt. they could only go by
their sense of touch. One felt the mon
ster's side. and declared that an elephant
was ''very like a wall''; another got hold
of the trunk, and at once declared that the
beast resembled a snake; another fondled
an ear. and the elephant was built like
fan; another examined leg. and the giant
OF the jungles was constructed on the or
der of stump: and the last Of the investi-
gators CROPPED his way to the tail, where
upon he became convinced that the ele-
plant was built like rope.
Mr.. Sake who wrought out this fable ap-
piled it to theological discussions. would
apply 1t to a stage production.
Each of the people on the stage has
separate part, TO the study of which he has
devoted his mind and energy. Naturally,
he takes a pride in that particular part: he
exaggerates its Importance: he considers 1t
not as one unit of a multifarious whole,
but as the whole thing. Let him have his
way and the other ninety and nine of the
flock might as well get of the stage And let
each have his way and there would be a

hurricane Of September rose approximately
fifteen feet at Fort Crockett, in the western
portion Of the city. That Is the greatest
height oficially reported. although II un-
officiai reports were accepted the waves
reached a much higher level.
Assuming that the Government. through
its engineers. had the best means Of get
ting at the facts. the Citixens' Committee
Of Galveston having In charge the plans for
the rehabilitation Of the city have proceeded
TO prepare for such another storm-a storm
withoIt parallel in the worlds history.
