always with something new, and al
ways adding to the numbers Of
those, who delight in the peculiar
sort of entertainment these odd
colored people present. Black Patti
is possessed OF a rare soprano voice
and she Is surrounded by picked
singers Of her race in "A Trip to

is featured. The rest of the com

Patti has been bringing here for the
last six years. They will appear at
the Kentucky theater Monday. The

white patrons. the two balconies
being given over to colored people

OLDEST THEATER.
Palace of Minos In Crete Is Elk
cayated.

The famous palace of King Minos
in Crete includes in the labyrinthian
plan of its courts, galleries and
chambers venerable and highly
significant art spot-the oldest the
alter in the world.
If the discoverer of the extensive
ground plans is correct in his by
pothesis, this important monument
in the history of the theater is stu
ated little to one side of the main
entrance and forms an almost quad
rilateral space, ffanked by two wide
staircases.
Father Homer alluded to this the
alter in his works, in describing
among the pictured curiosities on
the shield of Achilles a Norus which
Dandalos dedicated to Ariadne.
The remains of such a structure,
with its terraces OF seats and the in
tervening plastered space, have been
revealed in a significant light by re-
cent excavations. The small stage
room. of but 100 square metres. and
the inconisderable number of seats,
whose number may have been in
creased by the wooden corridors in
the rear of the steps, is explained
by the fact that this ancient play
house was erected not for the people
of populous city, but for the pri-
vate amusement of the king.
The place reserved for royalty
was probably a lodge whose founda.
ton is visible in a wedge-shaped
piece of masonry which extended
into the angle of both staircases
The courtiers had their places on
the steps and in the corridor, but
the commons had to stand on the
other side of the stlll distinguish
able barrier. or had to view the
stage from whatever point of OBJ
servation that was available.
Thus the most ancient European
ruler-from whom possibly emanat-
ed the name of the continent OF
Europe, for Europe was the name
of Minos daughter-possessed the
first permanent theater, beside his
Illuminated rooms, his frescoes, his
conduits for water and oil, and his
affairs and chapels. And the plays
that were represented here are the
Oldest examples of Development OF
centuries. out of which grew the
tragedies and comedies of the
Greeks.
The divinity to whom these per-
formances were dedicated antedated
Dionysius, the wine god-the most
holy. golden-haired Ariadne, the
Aphrodite Amathusia worshipped in
Crete and having her tomb in Cy-
prus, as Homer tells us.
The ancient Cretan theater repre-
sents a civilization at least four CEN
turtles older than that covered by
the Homeric poems. But the dances
of this earliest stage probably did
not materially differ from those OF
which Homer sang: ARDENT youths,
yonder. and shepherd maidens danced
holding each other by the wrists

The Theatrical situation.

That Klaw & Granger are nc
longer masters of the theatrical sit
Iuation of the country there is no
doubt. but that they still have con.
siderable fight" left in them is evil
dent from the chaotic conditions ex-
isting in the theatrical business
Throughout the country today. The
National Theater Owners associa-
ton, comprising the owners and
lessees of 500 one-night stand thea
tiers in the principal cities OF the
country, early in July announced
their Intention OF playing the attrac-
tons of any producer who applied
to them for time. Klaw & Erlanger
met this declaration with a fiat re-
fusal to furnish attractions to any
house which played attractions not
booked exclusively by them. They
also denied producers the privilege
OF playing houses which they did not
book. The National Theater Owners
association stood pat.
The result of this has been that
about one-half of the important pro-
ducers of the country have contract
ed to play the Shubert theaters in
the large cities and are booking the
smaller cities through the National
Theater Owners association. The
other half have remained loyal to
Klaw e. Erlanger, playing the houses
booked by them in the larger cities
and such one-night stand theaters
which they still control.
on account of the activity of both
sides in building opposition theaters
| in these cities during the last two
years nearly double the usual num-
Der OF attractions are required in
1.-The larger cities, and producing
managers have remained inactive
this summer owing to the fear of
assuming the heavy risk OF new pro-
auctions and expensive road tours
in the face of present conditions.
The situation is so acute at the
opening OF the new season that ex-
perts in the business say that II can
not possibly endure and that the
losses already great will so increase
during the next 80 or so days that
a sensible working arrangement Will
be necessary to save appalling losses
to both sides. Such an arrangement
would operate to the benefit OF Pa
ducah in many ways, as the attrae-
lions OF every producing manager
playing this section could be secured.
Many managers have productions
ready to. send out on moments
notice when they can see their way
to do so without heavy risks. Not
wlthstanding the present situation It
is quite probable that the next few
weeks will bring about very bright
prospects for the local season.

The Al @. Field Greater MInstreIs

With what is generally admitted
to be the greatest minstrel organiza-
ton of his career Mr.. Al G.. Field
will appear at the eKntucky at an
early date. This seasons very elab-
crate first part entitled "Minstrelsy
| IN All Ages" will serve to introduce
the evolution of m!nstrelsy in four
scenes. presenting in the final trans
formation the pretentious biblical
scenic spectacle David the Minstrel
and His Harp Of One Thousand
Strings at the Court of Saul" The
Festival of Flowers; The Court Of
Momus; and American Minstrelsy in
all of which numbers the entire com
lpany of G5 singers and dancers will
appear. The immense submarine
scenic spectacle is entitled "The Bot
tom of the Sea" A corps of won
Iderful cOntortionists headed by the
wonderful impersonator Neiser will
show the monsters Of the deep. A
positive innovation is the naval
spectacle entitled "Ships and
Sailors" "Perry's Victory on Lake
Erie" the historical of all inland
naval battles with the characters in
life like motion, goes to make this
naval spectacle the most realistic of
the Field presentations.

later on brought into connection
with the generation of Ariadne in

Thus the ancient festival plays on
