ROSE sEAvEY PARSONS
ouEER THEATERs IN MEXICO

Scenery Generally Poor and the Dialogue
of the Plays Extremely Verbose.
''The theaters9 Well, have found
them to be in rather primitive condi-
ton, said Manager Hanlon to Phil
adelphia Inquirer reporter. ''In size
they are as large as ours; one in partic-
ular, the Teatro Nacional, being about
equal in size to the Boston theater.
The stage equipment, in the way Of
scenery, it must be admitted, is poor.
Hardly piece but what has the ap-
pearance Of having seen many years
of hard service But, then, do not be-
heve the Mexicans consider scenic en-
bellishments a sine qua non in the
staging of their plays, as, for the most
part, what saw were extremely YER
bose, replete with lengthy dialogue
and devoid of much action. They have to
depend almost entirely upon local talent
for their plays and players. Once in
awhile q grand opera company from
Europe will visit them, or genuine
Spanish zarrula, or comic opera COM
pany, but am told that they
are few and far between, as it an ex-
pensive and hazardous undertaking.
Acustom noticed in the Teatro Prin-
cipal, called the 'Tandas' system, you
will agree might be adopted with ad-
vantage in some theaters in this coun-
try. The patrons pay for one act at
time, at the rate of about twenty-five
cents for an orchestra seat. Should
they remain in their seats after the first
act, the treasurers go round and collect
the price for the succeeding act, so that
in case OF bad performance they need
not consider themselves imposed upon
to any great extent Of course many
leave after each act, returning another
evening for a different act. You would
naturally think that this system would
make the management exercise great
Judgment as to the plays selected and
manner of presenting them from busi-
ness standpoint While the curtain is
up the main portion Of the audience re-
move their hats. but directly it falls
they are Immediately donned. Cigar
cite smoking continues during the en-
tire performance "
did you get any encouragement in
d business way9n
Well, yes; so far as can see, the
only form Of entertainment in this
country outside OF grand opera that
could be thoroughly understood down
there is pantomime and the style OF
spectacle which nave the good fortune

Heavy Rains.

Two very heavy rains fell here
this week, the first measuring 2.o3

and the second fell Tuesday night,
beginning about mid night. 1t
measured 2.63 inches, making TO-

A pleasant thing happened late.
ly which it will be pleasant for the
the Mississippi white ribboners to
hear. In the last of the Sos, Mrs.
Clara B. Drake of Port Gibson, our
long treasured Superintendent of
Unfermented Wines, and now of
Cooperation with Missionary Soci-
eties, wrote beautiful drama In
verse, "The Doom of King Alco-
hol p About the same time Miss
Addie Purnell, so many years a
devoted white ribboner, and now
helping from Better Land wrote
another drama in prose, Columbia
Enslaved." Both of these were
presented by many Of our unions
within the early COS, adding great
ly to sentiment and funds for our
course, sometimes drawing $500
houses. Mrs. J. NJ. Tedford of
Brookhaven recently wrote your
president inquiring if copies could
be procured. They were wanted
by her daughter, now married
woman in Arkansas, who had tax
en- part in them as girl here, and
who wishes to use them In the
coming campaign in Arkansas,
which is to submit an amendment
for constitutional prohibition to the
people this summer. There is on
