MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
"The LIGHT Eternal"

Martin V. Merle arrived in Los An
geles yesterday morning to superintend
the forthcoming production at the Bur-
bank theater of his new play, THE
Light Eternal" Mr.. Merle is a student
of Santa Clara college and the play,
THE Light Eternal" which has just
completed Il six weeks successful run
in San Francisco, was written original
ly for college production.
one presentation of the piece led to
another until II half dozen had been
made. Then Mr.. Merle spent six weeks
in hard work upon the play and gained
an Oakland performance. For two
weeks the playhouse was crowded to
the doors. san Francisco next secured
the piece and six weeks of crowded
houses was the result.
There are five acts in the piece, tif-
ty speaking parts, n gigantic scenic
equipment and incidental music that
is simply irresistible
one of the features of "The Light
Eternal" in fact. one of the main in
cidents from which the piece received
its name, is the climax to the fourth
act. In this scene Marco Nalerius is
charged by the Emperor Diocletian to
renounco his religion and become a
pagan and offer to the Roman gods.
This he refuses to do and the guards
of the palace are bade to bring him
to his knees Before huge altar raised
to the god "Jupiter," Falling to the
floor Marco calls out to heaven. Good
God, thy will be done" Immediately
a terrific rumble breaks the stiffness
and Il glittering thunderbolt strikes
down from the skies shattering the
pagan image and altar into dust. Then
out of the. intense blackness that fol-
lows comes the brilliant though uncer-
tain bars of light that form Il perfect
cross. The assembled pagans fall upon
the ground and the curtain invariably
calls forth prolonged applause.

GERMAN CRITICISMS OF ENGLISH
Visitor Thinks Islanders Dwell Too
Much on PHYSICAL Ills.


A German publicist who spent a
part of the summer in boarding
house at Teignmouth, England. says:
English seaside visitors display most
remarkable ingenuity in sustaining a
lengthy conversation founded on no
other topic than the weather. When
this Is exhausted they turn to their
aches and pains; each individual ad-
duces some striking examples of bod.
lily suffering on his or her part and
the combined ailments of the COM
pany afford themes for endless discus.
sion.
Next in popularity to the remark,
Hotter than ever came the question,
How is your lumbago?' and the lum-
bago of most of the visitors was,
regret to say, very bad. | must, how
ever, warn my travelling fellow-coun-
trymen that English anatomy ends
with the diaphragm. The mention of
the stomach, even, is not permissible
in polite circles. There is, however,
one striking exception to this rule
the liver may be discussed at all and
sundry seasons.
Full advantage is taken of the con.
cession and the vagaries of this organ
supply the basis of many lengthy If
somewhat monotonous discourse. Half
the ills of the Anglo-Saxon race are
attributed to the liver and wherever
one goes the eye is cheered with ad
vertisements of nostrums to correct
hat portion of the human frame"
