Feather" Harry eastman. of course,
is we'll known locally.
Altogether the new company bids
fair to be the most competent musical
organization formed for Los Angeles
III many, many seasons. 1t will pre-
sent an extended repertoire of light
operas, most of which will be COM
parative novelties, with an occasional
revival of an old favorite. Later IN
the season it is likely that the COM
pany will make the first production
on any stage of an opera written by
a Californian on a California subject
and it's scenes laid in this state.
Mrs. Patrick Campbells production
of an old Greek play, the Electra of
Sophocles. which will be played at the
Mason tonight and Saturday matinee,
recalls a feature of the ancient Greek
and Roman drama of which there is
but scant mention in the histories and
hand books of dramatic literature
those incidents in which are to be
found the ancient models of the recog
n:tion scenes and episodes in modern
plays and novels of which the mirth
and ridicule- provoking strawberry
mark is a common type.
The story briefly told runs thus:
OreStes and Electra were the children
of Agamemnon, king of Mykenae, and
memnon's ten-year absence at the siege
OF Troy Clytaemnestra forgot her duty
to her lord and master and there was
scandal in which Aegisthus, son of
Thyestes, had a part. When Troy had
fallen and Agamemnon was on his way
home Clytaemnestra plotted with
Aegisthus against her husbands life
When Agamemnon reached home they
executed their plot and murdered him
OreStes, the young heir to the throne
was saved and sent secretly in charge
Of a faithful servant to Strophios of
Phokis, his fathers friend. When
Orestes grew to manhood he returned
to Mykenae with his faithful friend,
Pylades, that he might take vengeance
or. his fathers murderers. During all
this time Electra had never ceased to
Lewail her fathers death and because
of this Clytaemnestra and Aegisthus
lad dealt harshly with her.
The second member of the Orestean
trilogy opens with the return of
O1estes, who cuts off two locks of his
hair, one of which he casts in the di-
rection of the river, the thank Offering
to the genius of his native valley, that
should have been presented when he
came of age; the other he deposited
on his fathers tomb, the grief offering
which his exile prevented him paying
at his fathers funeral. Hearing a
uurSI Oh WdllilB WllnlIl lHe pdldce
Orestes and his friends concealed them
selves. Electra and her attendants
approach Agamemnon's tomb. Electra
discovers the lock of hair and the foot
prints. She compares the color and
texture with her own and declares
that the footprints "fit well with my
footsteps here" and asserts that they
can belong only to Orestes. who then
GENES from hiding. But Electra does
not yet recognize him and even when
he assures her that he is really Orestes
gays: May, stranger, dost thou weave
snare for me?" Her quick recogni-
ton of Orestes' presence by the lock
of hair and footprints annoys Orestes.
Orestes establishes his identity to Elec-
tras satisfaction and brother and sis
ter are joyfully reunited.

fred was standing by Sally B.. who
was speaking. An unusual. solemn
ge~ntleness in her voice recalled Stella
to her surroundings. Mrs. Sackett
was dead! What did the people wish
done with the money s o generously
given for her that night? Sally B.
paused an instant, then went on a lit
tie ~unsteadily: will you have this
you've paid in here go fur the pore
woman's debts, an'-an'-fur the bury
in'?"
Assent was quiet but hearty. They
did not move at once. Each spoke a few
sympathetic words to his neighbor.
There was no more jollity. Admir-
ing young eyes, regretful in the face of
tragedy for the early close of their
rare festival, watched as a sacred rite
the unstringing and boxing of the in
struments. Subdued, the people rose,
the less bashful to clasp Sally BIS
hand in farewell, others wishing en-
viously for courage to do the same,
| yet passing out without v%enturing the
conspicuous courtesy.
Soon all had stepped into the starry
night; and the house slipped from
merry-making to dreamland.

Prince Bismarck Kept Walters Busy
During His Speeches.

Speaking of the different liquids ia
vored by great orators for refresh
ment during their speeches, Griffith
Boscawen, in his book, Fourteen
Years in Parliament" credits Bis
marck with having carried an army
bill with the aid of eight lemon
squashes. Never was a man and his
drink so homogeneous. All history
protests against the idea of Bismarck
even knowing what lemon squash Is,
for it was Bismarck who boasted to
Sir William Richmond that in his
young days six bottles Of strong wine
had no effect on him. And 1t was Bis
marck who lamented: "Ah! English
politics has suffered since statesmen
have nc longer strong heads for wine.
They are too cautious, never make a
bold stroke" It was a mixture Of

her of 1t as they walked slowly down
the room.
She saw an angry CLEAN in his eye,
saw his set, stern jaw; but he spoke
hardly a word. Stella almost felt that
his anger was for her. In vain shelooked
for some tender glance, some whisper
that would explain. She could not
know that Alfred was fighting one of
the few fierce battles of his life; that
he was almost ready to strike out
with his fist for possession of her, to
defy Mr.. Croker, business, all the
sane and safe and dutiful things OF
life. But the wild moment passed,
and more than once on his way to the
door he looked back tender messages
to her.
The supper hour came; but she
would not go with Gideon upstairs

ing that Alfred, in his first search fol
her, would miss her. Neither would
she dance afterward, but sat out q

danced together. Even in the grim
desert station Stella's father had often
yielded to their coaxing and tuned
their measures on his old violin.
She saw Alfred enter and pause sud
denly in the doorway as Gideon
whirled her on toward him. She
caught the frank alteration in Alfred's
eye as it rested on her and the CLEAN
of almost savage hostility as his gaze
shifted for an instant to Gideon. Her

All the evening Stella had looked

might dance with Alfred. During the
programme Gideon had knocked at the
door of grandma'am's room, then the
green ROOM" to ask for coming
waltzes, and had gone away scowling
at Stella's refusal.
Their brief players moment had
passed, when Alfred's eyes had burned
into hers, revealing his own heart In
Romeo's words.
Yet, nov that it was over, 1t seemed
a dream, and Stella began to doubt
to fear. No formal words could more

still an intangible veil had dropped
between them. Alfred raj withheld
