AescHYLus ON OWN STAGE.
1900 Year.oId Syracuse Theater
Utilized for "Aeannemnop.p

Rome. May 6.-An Italian transla-
tion of Aeschylus's "Agamemnon" was
produced this week In the Greek thea
ter at syracuse, where over 1000 wears
ago audiences witnessed the same play
in the original Greek.
The Syracuse theater. which is one
of the most perfectly preserved Hell
lenie structures i'm the world. was
built In $50 II. G. by King Hero. to
whose court AeSchyms went in a fiji of
artistic jealousy because his brother
dramatist, Sophocles. had been pre-
ferred at the Attic court To himself.
The diameter of the theater is 147
yards. and its ~ rows Of seats are
hewn In the rock. a fact which ne
counts for its splendid state of pres
ervation. II is capable OF holding "a
900 persons. and it's historic memories
include not only the first production
Of Aeschylus's plays. but the fact that
the old men and women and children
of Syracuse sat here To watch the last
great sea fight against the Athenians.
IL was here. too. that Timoleon was
brought To receive the thanks of the
people for the restoration of their
freedom. Aside from Aeschylus, Plato
and Pindar have sat here, and the
lowest rows of seats still bear the
names of monarchs, some of them for
gotten, who have occupied them. But
OF really practical value. the excellent
state of preservation of the theater
has served to aid in the reconstruction
OF Greek theaters elsewhere and tn
reveal just how a Greek play was pro-
duced, particularly the uses of the or
chestra and the stage. whic until this
theater came to he examined carefully
were the subject of much dispute
among archaeologists.

D00LING MAY GET JOB

John T. Dooling is being mentioned
as Commissioner OF Elections, TO fill
out the uneXpired term of j. Gabriel
Britt. who died recently. Under the
law. the Republican and the Demo
cratic county chairmen in New York
County and Kings County each recon-
mends one Of the four men for the
board. The Board of Aldermen has
the actual selection, but accepts the
as a matter of form
A vacancy is filed on the recon-
mendation of the organization. which
has a vacancy in the board. Mr.. Britt,
who was president of the board, rep
resented the Democratic organization
Of this county. No action to select q
successor will be taken in all proba
blity until after the return of Charles
r. Murphy from Hot Springs.
The terms of all the commissioners
expire at the end Of the year. If Mr..
Dooling, who was president of the
board some years ago, went in now he
probably would be reelected. He lost
his place in the board because he
ioined hands with Mayor Mcclellan in
his fight with Murphy.
