Cinematoqraph and Opera.

It Is reported from Germany that
grand opera is to have a further aid
from science in the shape Of the
cinematograph. which the artistic man
ager Of the Budapest Opera House
will employ for purposes Of scenic eff
1ects. This parsonage, Herr Eugen Won
Jemmendy, has not only been able eS-
actly TO reproduce the movement of the
Rhine waves in "Rheingol6," but for
the ride Of the Valkyries he has secured
n series of photographs which, thrown
on a screen at the back OF the stage.
produce a most realistic illusion. This
was accomplished by arraying eight
female circus-riders in Vail1yTie cos
tunes. and then taking a number Of
photographs while they were riding In
front of a long black fence. When these
were finished and thrown on the screen
from the cinematograph the figures ap-
peared TO be riding rapidly through the
air A somewhat similar plan has been
tried at the Metropolitan Opera House.

Famous Comedians Namesake to APP

Of prominence on the stage, Frank Dan

Of having a race horse named after him.
Chorus girls have monopolized the
christening Of race horses for so long,

thrust upon him, that I have disdained
to accept such a distinction. Chorus
girls may christen battleships and cruis-
ers, even race horses, but never had
any desire to figure as an also ran.

Stage and Education.
Effect of Brilliant Rhetoric Upon Thea
tergoers.

That the stage has never been given
full credit as an educational factor is
easily established. II is commonly stated
that the theater is a corruptor rather
than an amenator Of morals; but this
proposition has been so frequently and
completely corrected that to devote
time or space IL would be a fruitless and
an Idle performance. In the theater vice
is ever severely punished; virtue ever
gloriOusly triumphant. Even the hard
ened and despised theateCgoer Will not
have his conscience trifled with or will
he applaud what he well knows 10 be
fruitless and unavaiIing. Let the dram
atist attempt TO prove the contraryi let
him forget this moral lesson for an in
slant. and he does so at his peril.
Internationally, the actor pours pure
rhetoric and elegant and pellucid express
sion into the ears Of the theatergoer.
Some Of our people, II may as well be
admitted, would but rarely come upon
correct and delicious English, did they
not give ear to it in the theater. A play
by Pinero. a Shaw. a Parker. or q
Jones. has an educational value far be-
yond any preconceived notion Of the I'M
thinking public. We may occasionally

well as the finger of depreciation. in con-

Notes of the STAGE.

BY some who have not read the novel
the idea is held that The Eternal city
has a religious Specification. and that in
the Introduction of a pope as a charac-
ter Mr.. Game had some historical pom
tiff in view. A few went So far as to
say Leo was intended. These supposi-
tons are not correct. The Pop, and the
church are but incidental 10 one of the
most vital and romantic love stories
ever told. To avoid the charge Of being
personal, Mr.. Game laid his scenes in
the Rome of the future, but this did not
keep him from being misunderstood.

whom Washingtonians have seen but
seldom. He is H. G. Saylor, who played

The score Of Jack Hearty, the role
assumed by Mr.. Saylor, unfortunately,
gives him little opportunity for the dis
play of a voice which. under other cir
cumstances, would attract wide notice.
He has but two songs, neither of which
