was direct outgrowth and evolution
from the rude revels and singing OF the
shepherds" says Mr.. Hirsch. who when
personifying satyrs. wore great skins and
were called 'tragoi:' their song 'trag-
oldia,' the song of the goat-skin wear
ers. II was this bucolic attempt to ex-
press emotion that found its expression
In the masterpieces of Sophocles. Aeschy-
lus, and Euripides.
In conceiving and writing these
dramas these Greek people had three
audiences In mind. First. the philosoph-
ical and religious. secondly the artistic.
and lately the populace or multitude
For the philosophical-the students and
scholars who frequented the groves and
academies of the sages-there was nee
essary a philosophical and religious pos
tulatc, developed into logical conclu-
sion and ultimate; for the second type Of
a audience. the connoisseur. the artist.
there must be an artistry and perfec-
ton of technique and beauty, and for the
populace a spectacular magnincence.
romantic and sentimental feature.
'.The actors themselves were called
moral teachers The plays generally
were the development of an incident In
religious lore. For example. In the master
play, 'Pentheus' where the mother in a
frenzy mutilates her hero son. IL Is but
an exposition of the fact that upon ones
determination to live the religious. ascetic
life. ones most dangerous enemies are
within the househoid-iron chains are
more easily escaped than silken hair
strands that bind.
No Bioodshed On snEe.
"In regard TO the spectacular and
dramatic features possibly Greek drama
never has been surpassed. 1t was an al
most universally respected. though un-
written. canon Of tragedy that all horri-
BILE and hideous action should take place
out OF sight OF the audience and only the
shrieks and cries of the actors would con-
vey to the audience what was taking
place.
"In the Grecian mysteries bulls were
only sacrificed to Ares. the god OF war.
1t was this god alone who demanded hu-
man sacrifice. As Is well known. the
bull is used i'm all mysticism to symbo-
Iize the man. and We likewise find cor
relative passage in Scripture"
In this connection II is interesting to
note that the bull ceremony is one OF
the several dramatic. weird and &C.
tacular features that occur in The Fire
Regained." The condemned maiden ap-
pears bound upon an ox's back. led by
four hideous Numidian slaves, and pre-

bulls. likewise attended b. savage bar

There are likewise very beautiful pic
lures in the production. particularly In

ems loosen hundreds Of white and black
doves. which are freighted with ribbons
