Morality Plays.

The earliest plays written IN INC
English language were in aliesoricai
form and were usually of a rehgious
nature As far back as the hfteentn
century religion was the rule OF right
living and it was not unusual to point
the way" outside the pulpit through
dramatic presentation styled the
morality play" or pageant as II was
sometimes called. < a
The plot was often taken from a
pihie story. Noah and the ark was
fayorite one. Noah's WIFE was = IA
vorite comedy part she was away
represented as oblectlng 10 er 90 a Of the
water. and Noah had terrible time,
in the play, of course, to get her TO
embark. She had also great aver
sion to several Of the animals ana IN :
sisted that Noah should leave them oe-
hind which was impossible
The plays were given on large carts
two or three stories high, one ABOVE
the other The upper story was open
10 the sky, and there the acting was
done. The others were useo party ioi
dressing rooms.
Notices were posted telling where the
"pageant" was to be drawn, for it was
taken from place to place ABOUT the
city daily. giving several SHOWS ;no; inG
church or cathedral, and then at the
lord MAYORS house, the church and the
state always getting the nrst view.
And then il was offered in the pubic
squares, where the populace might see
and applaud. The show was free, be-
ing supported by the contributions Of
the rich.
This was before the time of Shake
speare, when the custom of charging
for admission began and the theater
became commercia1Zed.
THE characters were usually angels
on the upper platform, mortals on the
middle and devils on the lowest. The
devils were always used as the comic
characters, and their comedy consisted
In tor,nenting the wicked mortals or
IN being foiled by the angels when
they tried tricks on the virtuous ones.
In this crude beginning may be seen
the clash of opposing interests which
underIies the story Of all modern
drama. The hero or heroine of every
play must be party to some struggle
between two forces, as good and evil,
love and hate. poverty and wealth, etc.
Has Introduced CeIebrities.-Hardly
another of the great orchestras Of this
country has to its credit the introduce
ton to American audiences of so many
artists who have since attained world
wide renown as has the Russian Sym
phony Orchestra.
Mischa Elman made his American de-
but at a Russian Symphony concert in
New York, when the vioiinist was
boy In his teens and his name was
nnknown. except to a few musicians
who had kept in close touch with
matters musical and were aware of
his success in Europe. Mr.. Altschuler
had heard the boy abroad, had conf
dence in him and was wiling to en-
gage him, whereas no other orchestral
manager would give the youth SINH
lar chance Mr. Elman has always been
mindful of this and he has played with
the Russians whenever ana Wherever
the opportunity has offered .
Another violinist, almost as well
known. who played In America for the
first time under similar auspices. is
