TIE MEsSENGER.

In the transmutation Of mere ritual into
Drama one agent was the Messenger At
hrst most OF the primitive dances cele-
orated some vegetation spirit. some annual
god, who died with the winter and was re-
born each spring. In all the ritual dances a.
ms altar this death was necessarily mar
rated by a messenger. who later brought
news OF his rebirth. When the news or
the death came the dancers mourned for
ran or Adonis or Dionysus. Sometimes the
Death Of the old god and the birth OF the
new were announced simultaneously.
IL seems curious 20 US nowadays that this
messenger should have found his way into
creek tragedy. He strikes US as so I'M
dramatic. Hence we invent aesthetic theo-
res that the Greeks objected to the eXhi-
piuon OF death upon the stage Such theo-
res are all rot. The messenger simply

THE INDIRECT ATTACK.

The "ition' il also interesting as showing
that the Greek attack upon art was indi-
rect. Greek tragedy doesn't come up to
US and say, Look at me, how beautiful
am" II is the indirect attack that the
dIamatist uses, the only effective method
FOR achieving beauty He pretends to be
engrossed. or. indeed. really is engrossed.
in quite another matte when suddenly we
discover that an effulgent beauty has
bloomed in it. Eurpides. for instance,
wrote his plays to say something that hc
Was particularly Interested in. and then
found that they couldn't help being beau
uful. Art may stretch from the primitive
ritual OF dancing for rain, link by link. 20
the other extreme Of dancing professionally
simply 20 create beauty. Now, it Is diff
cult 10 say at exactly what point in this
chain the greatest beauty really Is
achieved But ii is undoubtedly where the
artist Is trying 10 say something. 10 eN-
press thought, not 10 create mere beauty.
You cannot pursue beauty any more than
you can pursue happiness. In doing some
thing else you Will find those virtues.

THE GREEK DRAMA
Lectures of Gilbert Murray at
the Lowell Institute.

In lecture at the Lowell Institute, Bos-
ton. Professor Gilbert Murray exposed the
essence OF Greek tragedy in his discussion
~ the chorus. He showed it as originally a
ritual dance. commemorative of the death
~ some popular hero or of some altar Of
refuge. out of this primitive dance came
conscious and definite narrative and con-
ecious and definite acting. The chorus kept
creek tragedy mindful of its high religious
origin.
From the convention OF the chorus Pro-
fessor Murray went on admirably to con-
slider two other apparently arbitrary ele-
ments in Greek tragedy-the 'ition" and
tho messenger. For the word 'ition' it is
difHcult 10 find an exact equivalent in
English. As nearly as it may be phrased, II
&c the causeful thing in each play-the
thing that sets it in motion. 1t gives you
the key to the drama as a commemoration
of a particular event.
