Time was when the theater played but
small part-or no part at aIl-in any
faithful presentation of the manners and
customs of bygone days. But in the
rapid strides In the art OF stage pic
torial display the theater has come to
be an important factor in education
the most popular OF all factors because
its lessons are the most graphic, vivid.
and attractive. Nowadays, more time
and research are spent in staging a his
torical play than the compilers of most
histories devote to their tasks. Indeed.
this is an Inadequate comparison when
the labor involved In a modern theatre
cal production is considered.
Artist Before Artisan.
The producer who aims at absolute
accuracy in stage fnvestiture must en-
ploy the services of experts in many
fields. Before the manual labor of the
artisan must come the mental labor
of the artist There must be authority
for every bit of scen1ry and for every
costume. The more remote The period
of 2. play the more the difficulties multi
ply.
Many beautiful productions have been
made within recent years, and the pub
lie educated by these expects much.
a hign standard or quality has been
established, and extraordinary must be
the offering that surprises blase theater-
goers into unusual admiration.

centuries. Even Tissot whose life
work was to paint the story OF Christ,
shows in his pictures practically the
Jerusalem that modern travellers know.
As for Jewish architecture. there Is lit

half-arch shown in the house in the
center of the stage is one OF the few
forms of construction peculiar to the
Jews Seemingly they adopted the ar
chitecture OF the nations that in turn
ruled them. In this scene is the most
that man has learned Of ancient Jewish
architecture.
But the scene lives. To and from the
crooked streets passes a varied cosmo-
polttan thrOng. A Water-carrier stoops
beneath mis- heavy burden; scribe. with
