tidings OF happiness and they were re-
ceived with lamentations. From this clash
the dramatists drew surprising dramatic
values Sometimes they prepared for the
messenger and sometimes not; sometimes
there was this clash and sometimes not.
Euripides was the technical master in all
this. In the "Bacche" the messenger
brought a tale of his masters death TO n
chorus in a delirium of sorrow And there
upon they burst into wild and jubilant re-
joicing. In Sophocles's "Edpus Rex
there is TO preparation whatever for the
messenger. and ne tells his tale simply and
directly.
EURlPIDES, THE TECHNlClAN.
The most skilful and most complicated
use Of the messenger occurs in the Hip
polytus' Of Euripides There you have
preparation, clash. torturing delays in the
delivery Of the message. and finally prep
aration for the last scene. Hippolytus has
been falsely accused by the dying Phaora.
His father, Theseus, has banished him.
laid his curse upon him and hidden the
waves ongulf his chariot The leader OF
the chorus points TO an approaching figure,
and we begin to expect message Of Hip
rolytuss death Then the messenger
comes. But instead Of telling his story he
asks for King Theseus. Then Theseus
enters, and the messenger tells him that
he brings dire news Unmndful Of his
curse. the King thinks first that some i'll
has befalen his cities. Even when the
messenger tells him that Hippoytus is
MORALLY wounded. the King still thinks Of
other matters. and asks
Was there some other man. whose wife
He had like mine defled. that sought his life?
Then the messenger recalls the curse, and
Theseus reioices. In a brilliant narrative
the messenger describes the fate that be-
fell the young man. Theseus is so moved
that he feels remorse at the destruction of
his own blood, and bids Hippolytus be
brought before him. He closes the scene
with preparation for the next, for he says
yea, sneak with him. and prove
His clear guilt by Gods judgments from above.
All this, remember. came out OF ritual;
all this is only a technical development Of
what the Greeks called rhetoric" BY
technical skill the dramatsts succeeded in
making a conventional restriction tremen-
dously effective dramatically. 1t does no.,
however, like the chorus, give us the
heights or the beauty of Greek tragedy. 1t
IS one Of those conventions which irk us
nowadays, which seem tedious and odd
but which we should understand and ap-
preciate both from the artistic and techni-
cal point Of view.-K NJ, in The Boston

GUY FAWKEs IN A GREEK TRAGEDY

Every Tragedy is SORT OI SlOIlHeu per-
formance of some ritual over an historical
occurrence Every 5th of November the
English celebrate Guy Fawkes day as a
sort Of comic ritual over the man who tried
n blow up the houses of Parliament. Now,
IN Greek times that event and that COM
r,enorative ritual would develop into
tragedy II would be included in the Guy
Fsvkes parade. Then at a certain point in
tho narrative the 'ition' would be eX
nIained. Some divine being or other would
step forward and proclaim that on every
9Th of November al! the boys Of the coun-
try should go out into the streets bearing
efigies Of Guy Fawkes.
That example should show the double re-
lation Of the "ition" to the play. In the
first place certain commemorative ritual
Is the occasion for the tragedy's compost
tion and performance Then in the tragedy
Itself, which OF course rehearses the
events II commentaries. some one pre-
scribes the ritual for all future time. That
Is the "ition." the prescription, in the
tragedy. the ritual which the tragedy itself
embodies.
The nearest analogue to this commemo-
rative and ritualistic element Of Greek trag-
edy is the liturgical play of the Middle
Ages. which grew out Of a church service.
One for instance. Commemorated the
Massacre Of the Innocents,' after the
feast Of December 2S Every Greek trag-
edv was a piece Of that kind, celebrating
some historical incident. usually death.
AN ENRICHING RESTRICTION.
This placed a curious restriction on the
Greek dramatist. a restriction that seems
curious to US now, though the compile
ncutsrv restriction which we place upon
our own artists would seem as curious
and as hampering to a Greek. Nowadays
We ave used to free" fiction. our artists
must be original in their materials and
treatment. an unparalleled demand in all

Oh the contrary. was expected to use only
such material as was historic and 10 treat
fl by purely conventional! means. OF
course if the particular Greek had an
or-.lal and vivid mind the thing came
out differently He could not help trans
muting the story.
Though he was thus restricted in his use
Of the ''ition," the Greek dramatist found
many ways of introducing it, some more
ingenious and artistic than others. In
"Iphigenia in Tauris'' il is introduced sim
ply and obviously at the close. The god

As a pianist, either as sololist or ascompanimist, Mrs. Mortland always plays with that fin- ish which is a positive delight to the novice or the critic. She has indefinite ideas of interpretation, and full ap- preciation of all she does.
 "In her reading ngs, she is graceful and pleasing, with clear, rich voice; she never loses the attention of her audi ence, and she has that ability of being able to change almost instantly from one character to another, and demon st ates marked ability in expressing all shades of emotion from gay tn tragic and pathetic.

BE AN oPTIMIST.

Every man worthy of the name should boost for the community in which he lives. The man who knocks his own camp must have been born cursed either with pessimistic pro- clivities or a languid liver. While everyone else goes around with a smile on his face looking at the best side the pcssimist loses no opportunity to call everything fake. The optimist gets out of bed in the morning whist ling. the pessimist gets out growing.
 People should always remember that if you show no faith in your own camp outsiders will do the same. and upon the good opinion of outsiders the future of most camps depends to a very great extent.
 If a country has resources or be- lieves it has. the best way to bring about their development Is to let the fact be known to the world. The pessimist would stop you from doing so if he could. but-forget him.
