NOVEL MUSIC EVENT
Psychic Drama, First of it's Character, to be Sung in
 New Haven.

New Haven will hear for the first time, when, on Thursday evening, in Woolsey hall, Elgars ''The Dream of Gerontius" is sung, great modern religious music drama. The work is wholly different in character to any thing the New Haven Oratorio so- ciety has yet attempted in that it is founded on text of psychological character, text as interesting in se- quence as is drama without a mus ical setting. For this reason The Dream" is in measure perhaps. the most interesting thing the chorus has sung. for the interest in the perform ance of Wagner's Parsifal is many fold. Not alone Is the music of "Gerontius" full of surprising dra- matic climaxes and contrasts, as can easily be imagined from the text, but there are the seven parts in Cardinal Newmans poem, each part with its own distinct dramatic effect strongly marked, each part carrying an appeal of it's own.
 This sacred oratorio has all the &C., tion, all tho nerve that one would expect in q work founded on a text of such breadth, each grandeur. 1t Is drama projected with immortal ity for it's stage, man for it's actor, eternity and space for its minutes and the balance of heaven and hell for it's catastrophe.
 II will be interesting to see how New Haven will receive this remark able work which is heard here for the first time. As has already been stat ed "Gerontius" Is the Tragedy of a soul" It deals with the death of an ordinary man, not a saint, but an or dlnary mortal. a sinner, who lies on his death bed rcpentant, and the transition of his soul to the unseen world, the judgment, and in between the soul drifting In ahysmal space as it floats on to the Judgment court interrupted by the fierce hubbub" suggestive of the chanting of souls and demons in purgatory, and finally the arrival of the soul at the gate where the angel bids it tender adieu.
 Frederick Douty, the well known tenor, will sing tho "Gerontius" mus ic, Frederick Martin, basso, that of tho Priest and the Angel of Agony, and Gertrude Stein Bailey, that of the Angel.
 Those who want seats for Thurs day nights performance may get them every day at the Woolsey hall box office from 10 a. m. each day.

and so on indefinitely.
But il is when we find sketches OF
yellow chicory from TIKI Ou5ou and
oleanders from the interior of the Sa-
hara desert that we stop and look in
creduously at Miss Gates. Is it pos
sible that she has made that trip. too?
Has she crossed the continent of AZ
RIGA through the hot burning miles OF
the Sahara? She surely has-not once,
but twice A little boy whose mother
Miss Gates went to visit in Scotland
met her at the door the moment of her
arrival. He gazed long and steadily at
her. Finally he whispered in a half
awed voice, Have you really been on a
tamel?'" The childish unbeiief in the
stories he had heard becomes conta-
gious. We find a reflection OF it In our
own faces as we look at the little, old
lady before US. Did she really ever
ride on a "tamel?" Certainly she has.
She has probably ridden everything
that was ever trained to carry humans.
OF course her friends advised Miss
Gates strongly against undertaking
such a foolhardy expedition. It would
require money. strength and endur-
ance- She would meet with hardships.

Miss Gates first appearance at an Arab

the strongest heart grow faint.

guest of honor. it was incumbent upon
her hosts to show her every attention.
So when any one came across what
was considered a particularly delicate
morsel, it was Immediately offered to
her, and she Immediately ate 1t. Hev-

After the ceremonies are over the

Bou-Alem is small town on the
Sahara where Miss Gates certainly
made sensation. She was the first
white woman who had ever appeared
there and the native women regarded
her as q curiosity to be examined and
studied. They literally almost pulled
her Clothes apart. They piucked at her
gown. felt of her hat and gazed at
her shoes. Then they asked her OF
the Whereabouts of her husband. She
had some difficulty in persuading them
that there was no such lucky man.
The nsxt natural question was how
many children she had. Again there
was an answer OF denial, but this one
raised q storm of protest. A woman
could not be woman and still have
no childrenl And so to soothe their
outraged feelings Miss Gates told them

mothers Of the desert. No race sui
