The Orchestra concert at the Academy
yesterday afternoon was such as can
como only in midseason when conductor
and men have arrived at the indispen-
sable unity OF feeling and harmony of
execution which Is not rigid, but iex-
ible; not studied. yet thorough; not OBJ
vious, yet always apparent. The tone OF
the orchestra has been, despite certain
lapses, improving steadily; its interpreta-
tive skill has gained in like measure. So
that yesterday, in the 18th concert OF
the season, they seemed to attack their
work with the confident skill OF masters
and to accomplish 1t masterfully.
With them the assisting artist was
Fannie bloomfield Zeisler. Her problem
has been for many years to eliminate
the excellence Of her own playing from
consideration, and to establish an unin-
terrupted connection between her ma
terial and its expression. She has suo-

The Essanay Film Producing Corpora
tion announces that hereafter IL will dis
pense with scenarios. This does not mean
that the Essanay has ceased the produce
ton of photoplaye, but that 1t has re-
formed where reform was most needed.
Hereafter photoplays intended for the Es-
sanay must be written in the shape of
condensed plays, with dialogue expressive
OF the action. In making the announce
mcnt the Essanay says:
In line with its policy OF progress.
the Essanay company has discarded
the scenario from its business. The
reason Is that Bssanay photoplays are
beyond the scenario stage. The high
art of production as standardized by
this company cannot be sustained by
mere scenarios, Already Essanay has
on its staff a number of the highest
paid dramatists in this country. These
men, experienced In the technical con-
struction of the drama, are producing
plays instead of scenarios.

odd to see De Wolf Hopper called Mr.. De

gentleman and the company will present
"The Mikado," "Pinafore" and Trial by

first week, and ''Yeoman OF the Guard"
''The Mikado," "SorcereT'' and ''TTial by

Ancient Gateways.

In days when cities were walled
about for purposes of defense against
an enemy, most of the masters of the
people being marauders and brigands,
there were real gates. by which is
meant tremendous doors of solid oak
built within stone walls which were
indestructible by any weapons of those
times. The ancient gates were built
in the walls of cities at those points
where the chief highways centered
and on which an enemy would surely
try to make his attack.

OLD NOAH WAS FIRST HIcK TO
PREACH PREPAREDNESS

When old Noah began building his
boat the landlubbers, the frog-pond
croakers, called him crazy. They pro-
claimed that the ship carpenter was
off his base. These hapers and crit
les said old Noah was bug.
They said that the very fact he was
building an ark would bring on a
food. Preparation would start some
thing.
Some time after that, and while
Capt. Noah sat on the bow of his
boat, his self-respect seemed to in
crease and he often wondered just
what had become of his critics.-The
Silent Farmer.
