Audience Spellbound
As Plot Is Unwound.

The audience last night sat spellbound
while the plot was unwound, and was
loath to leave after the curtain fell
upon the last act. whether 1t was the
story, or. rather, series of stories,
which the play told. or the elusive ORR
entail atmosphere that was attained by
the blending Of costume. music and act
ing, it would be hard to explain.
Imagine a play without scenery of any
sort. Against what seem to be bare
yellow plaster walls the entire action
of the play takes place with no change
Of scenery, and little change of costume.
There Is a hole in the wall up stage,
In which sit the three Chinese musicians,
who constitute the orchestra. One beats
a pair of brass cymbals. another plays
on a number Of queer stringed !nstru-
ments. while the third corresponds to
the little tinshop man" in the modern
theater orchestra, playing from time to
time on any number of queer noise
making devices. Above this hole in the
wall another one. with two wee gates,
and this second hole Is supposed to be

acters mount on a rude pine step lad

explains the passages as they come. and
the property man, Thomas jackson,
supplies the props as needed.
And a word right here about that
property man. who. though he does not
utter a single word during the entire
play, is the hit of the evening. With
the most bored expression one can
imagine, and with a cigarette hanging
from the corner of his mouth, he moves
about the stage, seeming utterly obli-
yious of the actors and the audience.

For The Times Children
= Just Before It's Bedtime
IAN AND THE PRIZES.

TT was terrible time in the usually
happy kingdom of holland when the
i prixies came. And no one ever knew
just how it happened. For one day
there was a busy, gay people content
with themselves and the world in gen.
eral. and the very next morning the
trouble began When the good wives
woke in teh dawn they saw that some
one had been busy all during the night
in playing tricks.
The. dough was upset from the pan on
70 the floor, the ashes were scattered
on the clean hearth. the broom stood in
the water bucket and the flour poured
into the stove. Out in the barns the
men found that the horses had been rid
den in the night, the cows milked and
the food thrown on the ground But
not a sign OF a soul was in sight.
1T is all the work of the prixies,
sighed the old men as they shook their
heads till their gray boards trembled.
1T was so once in my great-grand-
fathers time. And the kingdom was
nearly ruined before the creatures left
Things grew SO bad that the king
sent for all the learned men of the king
dom and ordered them to find a way to
drvie the prixies out. But 1t was use-
less, for the tiny elves did not show
themselves in the day at all. but hid
about in the grass, but as soon as 1t
was dark and the people asleep, they
swarmed out and did their work. If any
one came after them they dropped out
of sight into the grass again and hid,
so that never a single one was caught.
At last things grew so bad that the
king said he would give his only daugh-
ter the beautiful princess May, to any
man who would free the land OF the
pests. But no one could be found who
ever knew Of a remedy. And things
went from bad to worse till the crops
were almost ruined and the people wor-
ried to death.
Now. just at the edge of the palace
grounds lived the kings gardener and
his son, Jams, a lad of about fifteen
years. He was wise boy and noticed
everything he came across. One day.
when he was thinking sadly about the
prixies. and wishing he could win the
beautiful princess. he lay down under
a rosebush and was so still that two
of the prixies, who had been hiding be-
meath the violet leaves. crept out to
look at him.
"A nice lad" squeaked one in tiny
voice. Il think he is very fond of the
princess and would like to marry her.
The Washington times., 1913-02-18

The other prixie laughed till his sides
! shook tt,si
But marry her he will not" he said.
for not one of these people know
what would keep US away. Do you think
, they have brains enough to find out
that We cannot cross water? OF course
not. II they did. we would soon have
to keep OUT
i JAMS kept perfectly still till the two
prixies were out of sight. then he
sprang up and ran to the castle.
! Tell the king I must see him at
once he cried to the guard who stood
at the door.
And. what can you, gardeners son.
wish to See the king about?" asked the
soldier 4hatghtily. Ef
The king will be very glad to see
me IL 1 can rid the kingdom of the
prixies," quietly replied the boy.
The king. who was passing down the
hall, heard what was being said and
called the boy to him. did you say
that you knew how to get rid of the
orixies?" asked the king, scratching his
head where the crown had worn the
hair thin.
Il am sure. your majesty. that I can
drive them out of the kingdom ami
make them stay" replied Jams.
Well, II you can do that, 1 am sure
you. deserve my daughter" said the
king. for We are worried almost TO
death by these troublesome imps.''
So Jams told the king that he had
found. out that no prixie could ever
cross water. His plan, then, was to
to drive them across the river on a long
bridge. then burn the bridge SO they
could not come back. The next day a
long bridge was built across the river: /:
then every man, woman, child and dog
i'm the kingdam started on a hunt. They
beat the grass and bushes with brooms
and drove the weeping prfxies by the
hundreds across the bridge to the other
side. And when all were over the king
himself lighted the bridge and all the
people danced while II burned.
But that was the end OF the prixies.
They never came back. for they never
could cross the water. They sat on
the bank and wept till they grew so
thin that they blew away in a gale one
night and were never heard OF again.
But Jams married the beautiful prin-
cess, and when the old king. died he
ruled happily over the kingdom which
he had once saved from ruin by driving
out the prixies. At least this Is the tale
as 1t was told to the children of holland
by the old folks for hundreds of years.
So, of course you must believe 1t.
