"HamIety Al Fresco.

Ben Greet is preparing for several out
door productions to be presented in this
city during the summer. One in particu-
lar in which he IS very much interested
| Is the production Of a very unusual
and original version OF Hamlet" in its
entirety. which will take over I'VE hours
in its preentation.
Several years ago. Mr.. Greet and his
Players had the honor OF giving the first
professional performance in the Greek
Theater Of the Berkeley University, Cal
ifornia. On that occasion the Greet
Players presented Hamlet" The play
was divided into two parts, commencing
at II a. m. and continuing until l .. m,
when an intermlssion for luncheon was
taken. Starting again at 2:i5 D. m, the
play ended at 5 p. m. AS an Illustration Of
the impressive and unusual nature of
this performance, Mr.. Greet describes thu
scene when Hamlet's body was taken
away for burial. A procession which
took fifteen minutes to pass a given point
left the theater and Wended it's way out
of sight among the stately trees sur
rounding the natural park in which the
Greek Theater Is situated, while a large
band or musicians, hidden from sight OF
the audience. played a funeral march.

sight fired the military salute for the
dead. As closely as is possible that per-

The humorous scenes Of Twelfth

ing songs of the jovial Sir Toby Belch

will mingle with the musical laughter OF
the fair Lady Olivia and the modest
Viola.
Mrs Coburn VIII be seen as Rosalind

banded together with the single purpose
OF deyoting their talents to the presenta-
ton OF poetic drama, and their work Is
said 10 be characterized by a sincerity
and simplicity that emphasize both the
literary and dramatic Interpretation of
their productions.

AMERICANS NEGLECT VOICES.
Paul BIeyden Chats About Necessity
of Vocal Culture.


of Vocal Culture.
There IS one thing the people of our
country sadly neglect" said Paul Bley-
den. Of the Aborn Opera Company, at
the National Theater this week, and that
is the proper cultivation OF the voice.
In this era people are fondN of saying
all Americans are for progress. but in the
matter of the cultivation OF the voice
there has been very little progress, and
almost less attention paid to it.
People will naturally say. because

to this subject from an artistic point of
view. Such is not essentially my reason;
indeed, it is a far more practical one.
I realize not every one has q voice suita-
BILE for an operate career, but let the
reader recall the delight he has In con-
vsrsing with a person possessed OF q
musical voice and the unpleasant rasping
on the nerves of voice which lacks all
cultivation in even simple intercourse,

ciated
Il went to the Capitol the other day
to listen to debate IN the House OF

enter the gallery for visitors a friend
of mine. who is IN Congress said, 'Bley-
den, don't go IN now, that fellow has a
voice which would Kill. any bill
Il protested that l was more than ever
anxious to hear that particular member
TO judge for myself If his voice could not
be cultivated, and after listening 20 him for
some time I knew. with a little eultiva-
ton, he could have a very good voice,
but as he is to-day my friend had not
overstated the matter. Ills voice - GER

an attraction. This was quite evident
because his felloW members made It a

slightest notice OF what he said.
''On the other hand. I heard another
member speak and the very charm OF his
voice was q delight I did not remember
a thing the first speaker said. but was so
impressed by the second that I can tell
you now what the salient points Of his

other season. After that she will become
star in a modern play TO be- written by
her husband. Charles Ram Kennedy.
Miss Matthison emphasized the fact that

view she is quoted as having said:
"Oh, but Mr.. Kennedy and I are Ameri-

do what we can on the American stage
think this country has tremendous dra-
matte possibilities And many OF the new
plays which are being written by young
American authors are most interesting
