In filling this Office, however. the
Emperor has a wide choice and he
may consider Baron Marshall Won

Cambridge. Mass. Especially The
experiment of producing Schiller's
Maid of Orleans beneath starry
skies with close approach to the his
torfc detail surrounding the bright
figure of the fifteenth century, was
carried out with considerable success
here in the extensive area of the
Harvard stadium, by Miss Maude
Adams and company numbering
about 1900 persons The perform
ance was undertaken for the benefit
of the Germania Museum of Harvard,
| and the greater part of the working
force of the Frohman syndicate was
actively engaged in the production.
More than $4,000 persons, massed
tier on tier, saw the performance.
The beauties of Schiller's lines and
the magnitude of the plan of repro
duction combined to make the few
hours in the stadium this evening a
period of intense pleasure The his
toric perspective was skillfully MAIN
tanned Throughout, from the little
pastoral scene in Johanna's fathers
home with the flocks of living sheep
and actual trees of the forest, to
the splendor of the French court.
the clash of the English and French
arms, the coronation pageant and the
death scene in the Cathedral.
The motley crowd of serfs and
Wallets was made up of Harvard stu
dents. Men of the State militia
marched as archers and spearmen in
the French and English armies.
Horsemen from militia batteries clat-
tered into the arena in coats of mail
of nearly five centuries ago. while
able actors in armor tramped the
greensward and clashed in duels in
the most realistic manner. And
through all the scenes threaded the
slim figure of Miss Adams as the
French maid, first in homely peas
ants dress, then in brilliant armor
and seated on a milk-white charger,
and finally in the knightly costume,
which at last became her shroud.
The scaleN upon which the scenery
was prepared was consistent with the
proportions of the amphitheatre. A
special electric Night plant had been
installed to supply hundreds of bril-
liant lights needed, a great cathedral
was erected, a background construct
ed and realistic forest created.

lance of the speakers from the audi
ence, and the absence of acoustic
devices.
Miss Adams was accorded an ova-
