Importance before the Christian
era, and is not mentioned in the
Old Testament or in Josephus.
In Christ's time it was believed
that nothing good could come
out of Nazareth. In this little
town, of sacred memory, our
Savior spent most of his life, and

stands over the spot which ira
dilion localizes as the place
where Gabriel informed Mary
that she was so highly favored
of God luke i:2s) A part of
an old synagogue, claimed to be
the very one in which Christ
preached, is now a part of a
church belonging to the United
Greeks. Tradition, which is so
enterprising in the Holy Land,
has rescued from oblivion even
the workshop of Joseph, as well
as the kitchen of Mary. The rival
factions of Christians have dis
covered at least three places
where Christ's irate fellow towns
men attempted to thrust him
from the brow of the hill. Aside
from its associations, the town
is a place of small importance
now. The population is largely
Christian-United and Orthodox
Greeks, Latins, Maronites and
Protestants. The place Is fairly
neat and clean and has some
pretty women.
Five miles north of Nazareth,
on the road to Tiberias, is Cana
of Gahlee, the place of the first
miracle OF Jesus. Modern Chris
tian sects, in their factional zeal.
have wrought another miracle in
Cana. They have made two
places out of the one where wa
ter was turned into wine. The
Catholics have a chapel over the
exact spot. The Greeds 90 themA

We pass Jezreel, near which
Saul fought the Philistines. On

Saul came the night before the

the departure a keener regret. =
After seeing the principal places
of interest in and around the dear
old city, we arranged to 60
through Northern Palestine on
horseback. For twenty three
miles a fairly good carriage road
has been graded. But the work
has been suspended and may not
be resumed within generation.
We sent our horses ahead the day
before and left early in the morn
ing by carriage. When we reach
ed the crest of Scopus, final and
farewell look at the Holy City
was taken. Along the same road
in the long ago passed Abraham,
Jacob, Joseph, Joshua, David.
Peter, Paul and Christ. Some
four miles out we passed to the
right cone-shaped hill, upon
which Gibeah of Benjamin stood.
Here Saul was born, and from
here he went out to find the stray
ed asses and found kingdom.
On that hill he reigned as king :;
from it he went forth to battle,
and there the sweet tones OF
David's harp soothed his troubled
spirit. On the same hill Michal
married David, and there her
father acted the part of a mean
father-in law II. Sam. xviii. -
On and near that spot much
tragical history was enacted.
Over to The left little further
on is ancient Mizpah, where
Samuel resided and held court.
He was a circuit rider, and also
held courts at Gilgal and Bethel.
His circuit was very small, for
Bethel is only a short distance
further north on the right of the
road. AT one time Bethel riyaled
Jerusalem in Importance, had a
school for the prophets, and tor
some time was the center of the
worship of Jehovah In the North
ern Kingdom. Today it is moth
ing.
Near the end of the carriage g
road are the ruins of Shiloh
where the Tabernacle was first
set up permanently in Canaan.
Here, too, the Ark stayed from
the days of Joshua till almost
the end of the life of Eli, and
here the land was divided by lot
into tribal possessions. Just to

There are many places of minor

the next spot of special intere st

the western edge of the "parcel
of a field purchased by Jacob OF

the Greeks and is surrounded by
a wall. 1t lies in the crypt of q
chapel erected by the Crusaders
upon the ruins of an old church
of the fourth century. The we'll

Joseph Before he died Joseph
had the children of Israel to

the Nile for more than three hun

forty years and finally deposited
in the same parcel of land bought
by Jacob of Hamor's children
Josh. xxiv :32. The tomb is
inclosed, and the bones of Jacobs
favorite son lie in the territory
assigned to Ephriam, the off
spring of Joseph. Near by, the
everlasting mountains of Ebal

vigils over the remains of Pha-

of whose life is the most beauti

prise to me why Joseph, who
could make that trip alone wher

a ruler of Egypt visit his ole

"a Scrap of Paper will be the offering
of the Edwin Arden company at the Be
lasco Theater tomorrow night and all the
week. being the inauguration Of the sew
enth successful week of Mr.. Arden's en-
gagement. An interesting feature of the
production will be the first local appear
ance of Miss Amy Ricard, who has been
engaged as Mr.. Arden's leading lady. Miss
Ricard will appear in the role of Suzanne,
breezy comedy role well adapted to her
personality and effervescent comedy meth
DDS. Owing to the unusual success OF
Miss Ricard in several important New
York productions the past few seasons her
appearance in Washington has aroused
much interest.
"a Scrap of Paper was originally writ
ten by Sardou and was one of his earliest
and greatest successes. It was adapted
by ]. Palgrave Simpson, and enjoyed great
popularity in England and this country,
running most of an entire season at Wal
lacks Theater in New York when first
given there. 1t is the story of the chase
after q scrap of paper which involves the
happiness of more than one person. This
scrap Of paper Is compromising love

before by Louise de la Glaciere, wife Of
Jealous baron, at time when she was try
Ing to avoid marrying him. The letter was
addressed to Prosper Couramont, whom
she loved at that time, and implored him
to avert the threatened marriage with the
baron. The letter was hidden in piece of
statuary, where she expected Couramont
married the baron and Prosper went on a
trip around the world. This brings the
story up to the first act, where Prosper re-

New National.

Several notable additions will be made to
the personnel of the Aborn Opera Company
at the New National Theater for the COM
ing week in THE Chimes Of Normandy"
Foremost among them is William Wolff,
who has for several seasons been an i'm
portant member of the cast supporting De
Wolf Hopper. Mr. Wolff a number of years
ago made his first big hit in "The Chimes
of Normandy old Gaspard. the miser,
one of the most unique characters ever con-
ceived by comic opera librettist, and since
that time he has been featured in a number
of pretentious revivals of this splendid old
opera. In Baltimore last week, where an
other Aborn Opera Company presented this
opera, Mr.. Wolff achieved an artistic tri-
umph. calling forth unstinted praise from
the newspaper reviewers and breaking the
record for receipts of the opera season
there. The ordinary stock company plan of
allotting characters each week to whoever
happens to be on hand in the organization
has been improved upon by the more pro-
gressive idea adopted by the Aborns OF
changing their cast more or less each week
to fit the opera selected for production.
Other new members to be introduced In the
approaching weeks presentation are Grace
Orr Myers for the role of Serpolette and
Sabery D'Orsell. who will return to the
cast. after absence of two weeks, for the
role of Germaine. Both of these artists
have won success in the same respective
roles elsewhere. and hence their selection
is most apropos.
Among the favorites of the past week s
offerings, who will remain over for impor-
tant assignments in The Chimes of Nor
mandy are Robert Lott, who will be hap
PLY cast for the laugh-provoking charac-
ter Of the old Bailli; Harold Blake, whose
splendid voice and personal magnetism will
fit perfectly the part of Grenicheux, and
Karl Stall. fittingly cast as the Marquis
whose baritone songs are among the gems
of the opera. Other roles will be in the
hands of Millie Murray, Trixie Cadiz and
others.
THE Chimes Of Normandy" admits OF
quite as much display in the line of cos
tunes and scenery as either of the other
presentations given by the Aborn Opera
Company so far, and this feature will be
elaborated to the utmost, presenting quite
as attractive and artistic stage pictures as
any Of their former excellent offerings.

HAS A VERSATILE CAREER.-Miss
Amy Ricard who makes her first appear
ance as leading lady of Edwin Arden's
summer company at the Belasco Theater
tomorrow night, appearing In the role Of
Suzanne in "A Scrap of Paper" has a
record any young woman on the stage
should be proud Of. For Miss Ricard has
appeared In a Clyde Fitch comedy, an
Ibsen problem play, a George AIDE rural
comedy drama and Victor Herbert mu-
sical comedy, scoring a success each time.
Here Is the brief story of Miss Amy
Ricard's most extraordinarily varied
career: Appeared as the girl from Butte in
Clyde Fitch's play, The Stubbornness of
Geraldine" In which she almost shared
honors with the star, Mary Mannering;
sang the role of Contrary Mary in Victor
Herbert's musical extravaganza, THE
Babes in Toyland," and scored another hit;
appeared in a series of special matinees In
New York of Ibsens problem play, The
Master Builder" and Won high praise;
created the role of the athletic girl in the
original production of George AIDES play,
The College Widow" and played the role
throughout the long run of the play in
New York. And as if this quartet Of
varied roles did not sufficiently illustrate
her versatility, Miss Ricard last season
created the leading role in Matilda an
other musical comedy, in which she dis
guised herself as a cabin boy and danced
sailors hornpipe. There's versatility for
you with a vengeance.
However, all Miss Ricard's stage ambi-
tions have not yet been realized. She hopes
to get few more good roles in the future
and in the meanwhile she looks upon her
appearance with Mr.. Arden for summer
stock season as invaluable. 1t will give her
few more varied roles to play. Miss
Ricard is Denver girl who came east to
study for the stage, and was engaged al
most as soon as she appeared at stu
dents matinee by James X. Hackett, who
gave her role in The Pride Of Jennico."
It was through this engagement that she
met~Miss Mary Mannering, who took an
interest in her career and introduced her
to Clyde Fitch. The playwright was so
impressed by her personality that it Is
said that he wrote the role of the girl
from Butte especially for her. This role
gave her such exceptional opportunities
that she became very much talked about as
a future star James K. Hackett engaged
her for several of his productions, then
came her incursion into musical comedy,
her venture with the Ibsen matinees and
her experience with 1.-The College Widow
In all the roles she has created she has in
Variably scored success.
