ROMAN DRAMA IN VERMONT.

The Roman drama presented at Mid
viewed in our news columns, and we
shall take space in this connection
simply to speak of the significance of
this production. 1t means something
in this age when the Greek and Latin
classics arc falling into neglect so
generally because of the hurry of peo-
Sle TO get into their chosen profession
without that broad foundation the
fathers deemed essential, that an In
Dtitution IN Vermont should present
m the stage with over one hundred
characters great production using
the language of the Romans
one instinctively compares this Ro-
nan drama with the Greek play pro-
duced so successfully in the Stadium
81 Harvard, and II must be stated that
ahe Vermont production bears the test
well. While the Greek play ut Cam
bridge involved vastly greater ex
ton of Thoroughbred horses specially
Tor the occasion and the erection Of n
classic structure as a background for
an outdoor performance. the Middle
bury drama compares favorably with
the other in elabOrateness Of costum-
ing. historically correct, and involv-
great variety in design. Moreover
the latter embraced a series Of elab-
crate stage settings made possible by
temporary auditorium erected for
the purpose, including representations
of Jupiter Stator. the Roman Senate In
session for the trial of Calatine con-
spirators. the Roman Forum, the Cur
ia. during the splendid Feast of Roses
md the interiors Of two Roman homes
of the highest order-all affording n
vivid idea of life, language, intrigue
politics. music, the terpsichorean art
and the home surroundings in the time
Of Cicero.
All this was made possible by the
prncely bcnchcencc of big hearted
citizen, and this production. combin-
Eng the truly artistic with the classic
makes one wonder why more people
Of wealth do not see tho wonder
iul possibilities they can open up to
the aesthetic sense Of the world by

Is that his friends are unwilling to ac-
knowledge that the former is aot always

It can be ever true.
The chief secret of Roosevc!t's s1lc-

his enemies. often his enemies were
those against whom the hostility OF tho
nation had already been aroused. His
victories were therefore often won before
his fight was matched
RooseVelts principal rervice to the
country was in his ability to rouse tho
masses to the spirit of progress and ma

this spirit of progress. LAS he .he power
