Monte Carlo during the carnival of
1905. That meant less than a year, and
a book to work on written in a lam
guage of which Mascagni is far from
being a master. However, after I'M
dergoing rather difficult exercise to
render himself exact in the French pro-
nunciation the composer commenced
his task and soon began to make prog
ress. He has new room, quite isolat-
ed, which contains nothing but a piano
where he retires every evening, or.
rather, morning, at 1 a. m. after having
spent the foregoing hours with friends.
Just how long he works is not known,
but by noon he is up and ready for
lunch and other labors. Following this
method, Mascagni is confident that he
will carry out his contract.

"The Cinaalee.v

THE Cingalee," at Days, is not up
to the standard of the musical comedies
one is in the habit of seeing and hear
ing at the theater made famous by Au-
gustin Daily.
1.-THE Cingalee" can be summed up in
two words-William Norris. Mr.. Nor
ris is, in fact, the whole show"
Doubtless he will think the writer very,
very wise indeed to say this, but it is
the plain, unupholstered truth.

story of "The Missourians."

The story of 1.-THE Missourians" deals
with the Benton Galloway feud, fam
lily and fractional vendetta. The scene
is laid iii central Missouri, the time the
reconstruction period of the early sew

tors had repertory of Shakespearean
roles, and~so less study was required.
In the case of the actresses in modern
productions the chief difficulties come
from the fact that there is so much to
do apart from studying the lines The
visits to the dressmal1er and the wig
maker occupy the time after the re-
hearsal. In the evening the actress
may be playing in another production,
and so the studying must be done late
at night. Then to rehearsal at IL
O'Clock, where in the early stages she
must remain until or in the after
noon, leaving only time for dinner be-
fore the evenings work again begins.
AS the production draws near every
thing seems to go wrong. The wigmak-
err has not been able to get just the
shade of hair that is most becoming to
the actress, the dresses don't fit, the
bonnet is a fright, and the actress is
away down in the depths.
There is something peculiar in the
mental processes of the actor, with ref
erence to his study of a part. The
part is handed to him. He reads it
casually and thinks he may have good
opportunities in it. He sees effects in
the bare manuscript that to the mex
perienced reader will not be apparent.
Then he gets down to work. For awhile
all goes well. His voice seems to ring
true, he can almost feel the sympathy
of his audience; he hears their applause
on the opening night. Then he pauses.
Something has suddenly impressed him
as not being right. He reads a line over
again. 1t sounds fiat and false. He
tries again, and it is no better. His
confidence vanishes, and it may be
days before he again reaches the point
where he decides that he has struck the
right key.

interesting Characters.

1.-THE Missourians" shows US interest
ing characters that give all the at
mosphere" one could desire. The plot
is well drawn, and the sentimental sit
uations are not unnecessarily prolonged.
Many plays nowadays are made abso-
lutely unbearable through the inability
of the writer to tear himself away from
almost interminable lovey dovey scenes.
