and gorgeous nature and it may be
most truthfully said that Mr.. Ames
has left nothing lacking to fulfil all
the requirements of an elaborate set
ting.
This act is where one sits up and
takes notice of the musical portion
of the evenings entertainment when
the bass-viol renders a most Won
derful true Interpretation of the bum
BILE bee.
The first mad revel over, Pierrot
and his mistress find themselves in
debt and harassed with bills.
Phrynette soon makes it clear that
she is to be held by luxury and not
love. Pierrot, still infatuated with
the jade, takes another downward
step by gambling with marked cards,
hoping to win enough to keep her yet
little longer.
Meanwhile Phrynette has been CO.
quoting with richer lover; the dis
solute Monsieur LIE Baron and being
satisfied that he will gild life for her
again, she flies with him.
Pierrot soon returns with ill-won
gold, but too late, for he finds his
mistress gone.
There is no JOY in stolen money,
nor peace in the love of any such
as Phrynette.
The third act brings us back to
the old home of the Pierrots but is
now seen in a different atmosphere.
1t shows that poverty and deprivation
have been visitors for some little
time.
Father Pierrot is heart broken, the
good wife daily prays to the Virgin to
restore their erring son. At last her
prayers are answered for ragged
beggar knocks at their door and as the
good old woman is about to part with
their last loaf, she learns it is her
son-the Prodigal has come home.
Instantly the mother takes the pen
itent into her arms but the father
cannot so soon forgive the sin against
his name. Martial music sounds in
the village street. A regiment is
passing. Pierrot seizes the chance to
redeem himself. He will enlist and
in his country service win honor back
again, and so, with his mother smiling
on him through her tears, and his
fathers blessing, off he marches to
war.

Zabriskie Talks
On Citizens Club

President John w. Zabriskie, of
the Cliffside Park Citizens Club when
seen at his New York office at Sc
Pine street, spoke to "Palisadian"
reporter enthusiastically of the
clubs plans for the coming season.
Mr.. Zabriskie said that at Monday
evenings meeting of the club it was
decided to inaugurate series of
campaign meetings, preferably to be
held in the new high school audi
forum, at which the candidates for
political office and prominent speak
ers of all parties will be invited to
speak from the same platform. The
club has been assured of the co-opera-
ton of the Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders. The meetings will be-
gin Immediately after the primaries
and will be held from one to two
times week until the general cleo
ton on November 7.
Mr.. Zabriskie, in explaining the dis
cussion which led up to Monday eve
ning's action, said that the purpose
was not only to give the voters and
other residents the opportunity Of
personal contact with candidates for
high office, but also to give them any
necessary information in regard to
the actual casting of ballot. This
was most desirable because OF the
high percentage of defective ballots
cast at each election. This it is pro-
posed to greatly reduce at the Mo-
vember Z election.
At Mondays meeting it was decid-
ed to to push strongly the movement
to institute a course in public speak
ing in the high school. The desire
was expressed of gaining the ap-
proval of the Board of Education in
the matter. A complete set of books
on the subject by a high authority
will be presented to the new high
school by the club.
The club further discussed the pos.
sibility of inaugurating a series OF
commercial science meetings to be
held if practicable, in the high school
auditorium. At these meetings local
and out-of town men would be gotten
to speak on the manufacture, hand-
ling and selling of the various
articles of commerce, thus in way
preparing the student for the battle
of mercantile life.
The club feels justifiable pride IN
the life of the new high school, as it
was largely through its initiative and
insistence that the school was finally
made possible through the vote of the
people. 1t is in the same spirit that
It desires now to further the work
and utility of the new institution,
Nine applications for membership
were received, and two new members
elected.

Marjorie Patterson in the role OF

meeting with most boisterous re-
cept;on at the Booth Theaer.
Although l personally think the
music would be much more acceptable
and would relieve a slight monotoly
felt now and then, if the score con-
sisted more of a, full orchestral work
and less of the pianoforte solos, but
with the exception of the musical
score which is passable and has one
strong redeeming point in the second
act which will be mentioned in due
time, "Pierrot the ProdigaP' has not
a fault.
AS the curtain in the first act
rises, it discloses the sitting room of
a humble peasant family, but of COM
Portable circumstances, the settings
are very elaborate yet in perfect
keeping with such home.
We see seated at the evening meal
father Pierrot, his kind old wife and
their son. The pantomimic interpre-
tation is so clear and legible that you
can readily understand that the
parents are uneasy over their only
son who is moody and depressed.
In vain they try to tempt him to
eat and drink or if they could only
but bring laugh; no use, his youth
full jollity is gone; the young Pier
rot in mimicry shows us that the
truth of the case is that he is sick
with love.
He has lost his heart to a little
laundress of the village, Phrynette,
who makes her appearance with the
return of the family's weekly wash.
With her sparkling, naughty eyes,
she now seals the future of the young
Pierrot, yet Phrynette has no notion
of marrying a poor country lad, her
dreams are of quite another color.
But so mad is poor Pierrot to pos
sess her at whatever cost, that while
his parents are asleep he secures the
KEYS of the sideboard drawer con-
tanning the family valuables, from
his fathers pocket, and steals his
parents savings, and after attempting
to bid farewell to his parents without
awakening them he flies with Phry-
nette from the little town of Paris.
Act second reveals to our view,
