Before the parts are handed out to
each member the play should be intelli-
gently read aloud by the appointed stage
manager to the assembled company. who
should pay the closest attention. After
the reading the parts should be assigned
and questions freely asked and discussed
as to the characteristics of the parts and
play. The time must be set for the next
rehearsal. at which each member will
read his own part. and the business OF
entrances, cues and positions on the stage
will be taken up. Careful attention must

parlance Of the profession, business"
Do not attempt to memorize your part
before you begin rehearsals. Wait un-
til two or three rehearsals have passed
and you begin to feel easy In the part
before you tax your memory. You should
know the first act the next day after you
have read the first act with the company.
And so on, until the entire play has been
gone through.
1t is not necessary to have more than
fourteen rehearsals prior to the produc-
tion. If you would add your little bit
to the pleasure OF the affair, be amena-
BILE to the rules adopted for the con-
ducting of these rehearsals. Play close
attention to your own part, and listen to
the others. Always be ready to pick up
your cue. Time can be saved which
will hasten the work. Above all things.

be sure that you are not guilty Of an
anachronism. Let the costume that you
wear be in keeping with the period of the

Louis XIV are Just as different from
those worn in the period Of Louis XVI
or the First Consul as are the costumes
from those of the present. There should
be unanimity in the selection Of the cos
tunes. so far as color and period are cor
cerned, so that they will blend happily.
Care should also be taken In the matter
Of hats and shoes, as inconsruities are
liable to arouse derision on the part Of
your audience. I would advise you, II

IN this article that the entire production
will be conducted by those who have
never had any theatrical experience. The
suggestions offered are given in a gen.
eral way, but are specific enough to cover
the ground.
The first thing to be considered is the
selection Of a play. This is rather an
important point. Do not choose one that
has a large cast of characters. The
reason for this is evident Numbers in
affairs of this kind create confusion and
difficulties which are hard to smooth
out. The play should be of a character
which will from its subject matter create
interest. | would suggest that play be
selected which does not require extraor-
dinary ability, and that is not of a melo-
dramatic nature. To my mind the So
ciety drama is the safest proposition.
There are many in this class which can
be presented without a wealth of seem
cry. l have in mind play like Rose

order to give the reader an idea of the
sort that will be found easy to produce.

plays a small fee is required. Yet there

It is necessary to use good judgment and
tact. Be careful to select good players who
will accept the parts selected for them
without demurring and will give them in

stantly finding fault. thereby breeding

him. For seven innings it was no
hit. no run game for Watkins, but in
the eighth Parkinson of Hyrum, con-
nected with one for two bases and on
trying to stretch II to three, wild
throw was made from short to third
going by third and letting the man
score. This was the lone error made
for Mendon and lone run for ,Hyrum
during the game. Two more hits
were secured by Hyrum, after this
but did not count for anything. A
great number OF Hyrum batters went
down at the bat while Mendon boys
hit hard when hits meant runs. The
Hyrum boys however played good

plainly evident that Mendon was too
strong for them.

AT BOTH ENDS

Free Trade has cut down sales Of
goods
Made in the U. s. A.;
Has shut up mills, and SO deprived
The worker of his pay.
A mill must make some profit on
Whate'er It may produce,
To run now would be at loss,
And so, what is the use?
> ~
When mills are idle We increase
Our purchases abroad,
And into foreign pockets go
The nations golden hoard.
BY this arrangement we lose out
At both ends of the game,
And this vile system of Free Trade
Is what we have to blame.
And we all get 1t in the neck,
From owner down to hand.
Gee, whiz 1t rifles a fellow up,
1t does, to beat the band.
And we will beat the band, as 500
AS we can get hack
At those who manned Prosperity
And stretched us on our back.
