ARTISTIC 'CALIBAN'
GREETED BY CHEERS
Spectacle Masque at City Col
lege Stadium Enjoyed by
Several Thousand.
1000 AMATEURS APPEAR

The heavens we're favorable last nigh,
and the deferred production OF Percy
Mackaye's community masaue" called
"Caliban by the Yellow Sands was
seen after It's p~ostponement. 1t Ia said
that the Lewisohn Stadium at the Col.
lcge OF the City OF New York can hold
In its present form nearly eighteen thou
sand persons. There seemed to he few
seats vacant. The masaue began more
than half an hour late.
In spite Of the darkness the audience
was seated by Boy Scouts in uniform
without great diffcuity. Approach to the
stadium wa naturally slow, as the NUM-.
Der Of vehicles was great. But ths
gathering Of the spectators was expedi.
tiously accomplished.
SO far - the effect Of the representa-.
ton was concerned. II may he said NJ
the outset that everything depending o
the spoken word was all but negligible.
No voice can be expected to carry with
any expressiveness in the spaces set
aside for the play. OF the principal
actors, the tenor OF Garcth Hughes could
be most clearly heard.
The so-called elmer scenes repre-
senting parts Of the dramas Of Shake
speare. seemed pretty miniatures. re-
mote and nearly impossible to see dis
tinctly. The beauty OF the evening lay
In the interludes played between the
scenes OF the masque on the yellow
sands which formed a vast circle ~
the centre OF tho arena.
These were picturesque and full Of
life and color. OF course they suffered
intensely In effect from the lack Of light,
for which every one Of the eighteen thou
sane pairs OF eyes, more or loss. must
have longed. II was In this deficiency
that the representation in every detail
suffered most.
ono need not necessarily hear all.
but to hear only "A part and see only a
part is a trial to the flesh at a spectacle
which should compensate the eye IN III
FOR all that tho ear fails to appreciate.
After all it's mere massivcness turned
out TO he the striking characteristic Of
"caiiban ny The Yellow Sands in repre-
sentation. Not much of Sir. Mackaye's
verse was heard hy the audience. Nav
DO Tor that reason the stretches of
dialogue between Ariel. Cdiibau and
Prospero appeared unduly prolonged.
