TO PRESENT GREEK PLAYS
IN THEATER AT SYRACUSE
Revival of Ancient Drama in Play

Years Old,
ROME. February Il. 1a14


The success Of the Greek tragedies
given in the antique open-air theater at
Fiesole, near Florence. and their repet.-
ton in Rome at the Stadium has led to
the still more ambitious project of giving
Greek Hellenic representations at the
Greek theater at Syracuse. more than
., 400 years old.
Prof. Ettore Ramagnoli, who has spent
his life translating the Greek tragedies
into Italian, has been intrusted with
new translation for the occasion of
.'Agamemnon. the first part of Aeschylus'
trilogy. and the staging of it. The cos
tunes are all to be taken from the fig
tres on Greek vases of the time and
which actually represent the characters
i'll the tragedy.
