MENDEL SSOHN AND "MlDSUM
MER NIGHTS DREAM"

If Mendelssohn, in his musical con-
ception of Shakespeare's lightest and
most fanciful play "A Midsummer
Nights Dream showed himself but
in the youth of musical achievement,
he but so much the better interpreted
the youthful spirit of that vision OF
love and mirth 1t is certain that
never have, the spirit of the music and
the spirit of the play been so har-
moniously and faithfully blended as In
the production, which the Ben Greet
Players and the Russian Symphony
Orchestra are to give here next Thurs
day evening, May 9th, Keylor Grand
Theatre, and it is a successful and
fitting celebration of Mendelssohn'
centenary which the musical world Is
enjoying this spring
1t must be because of their appeal
to the soul of all generations that the
numbers of this music of Mendels-
sohn's are, the many of them, old and
familiar favorites Those which strict
ly belong to the dream music and
those which are interpolated, blend
beautifully and make thte music as it
should be almost a predominant fea-
ture of the production; yet it was but
d part of a harmonious and most ar
tiStic whole.

acts, the whole being as unbroken as
a true dream of the night The cos
tunes are true to the time and place
Fand the decorative drapery which com
pliment the art of Troy and Margaret
, Kinney, their painters, add greatly tc
the effect.
A discerning reading Of the lines and
good acting make the play fill ade-
quately it's part in the whole. Mr.
Greet's adaptation preserves in strong
relief the comedy and fanciful features
of the play, whilei discarding much
Of the heavier parts. The graceful
dances by Miss Ruth Vivian fit ex-
quisitely into the spirit of the music
and the play forming a feature that
is almost an improvement on the orig
inal conception. Miss Vivian is assist
ed greatly in the second dance by a
group of young girls, who, it may be
interesting to know come from the
Dorothy Dix home for the children of
actors, at Boston.
Altogether - is a performance that
whenever given appeals to all classes
and fills the largest auditoriums.

AERIAL COMPETITION
IN NEW JERSEY TODAY
"skeeters" Sit Up and Take Notice OF
Marvellous Manufactured Rivals
in the World of
Flight.


ARLINGTON, n. j., May 25.-Those
accomplished aerial navigators, the
"skeeters" which made New Jersey ia
nous. will have competitors this week
i'm tbs, doughty aeronauts who are as
sembled here today to compete in the
series of competitions and exhibitions
arranged by the West Hudson Aero
club A large field near this place will
be the starting point of all the flights.
Governor Fort and other notables
were among those on the program for
tie inaugural ceremonies of the great
acronautic carnival. Some notable and
possibly record breaking fights, both
with dirigible balloons and aeroplanes,
are expected to be made during the
next five days.
Perhaps the most notable of the en-
tries is that made by Joseph w. Cur
zon, of Alabama, who will try for the
$1,000 prize with a flying machine built
in France. His participation here will
be but preliminary canter to the Full
ton flight contest in which he hopes to
win the $4,000 prize.
This machine Incorporates many of
MT Curzon's plans, but in the main
is patterned after the air craft in
which Farman made his seventeen
mile fight last year. With the same
machine Farman won the Deutsch-
Archdeacon $4,000 prize for a circu-
lar flight of one mile.
While he has determined to try to
capture the Fulton Flight prize he
considers this feat as a very grave
undertaking for an aeroplane, and has
doubts as to whether a heavier than
air machine is capable of travelling
such a distance continuously at this
stage of its developement.
Il have been interested in flying ma
chimes for a number of years." said Mr.
Curzon Il have studied them care
fully ever since / heard they first ap-
peared in successful flight in France.

the various types which are offered In

point about it has been actually de-
monstrated to be practical while used

to reflect upon the Wrights in any way
which will compare favorably in every
particular with theirs.

lions are certainly tremendously in

bilities of flight. 1 see that they will

son Aero club. / am going to try
to win $1,000 offered by this club and

so much interest in aeronautics
throughout the country.

Fitzsimnnons fight attracted nowhere
near the same amount of attention as
has these pictures. In the two prin-
cipal cities of America-New York and
Chicago-they were presented at two
of the best theatres, and the audiences
were not only large, but enthusiastic;
so much so, in fact. that the crowds
even cheered, due to the wonder1ul
realism with which this encounter is
shown.
In addition to the above, the best
rounds of the Jefferies Sharkey fight
will be shown, SO that you can judge
who is the best man.
