OPENS
PERIODICALLY

This years Chautauqua program
opened on Tuesday and will close on
Sunday. The Tuesday and Wednes-
days programs were both excellent
and the features and addresses were
highly spoken of and enjoyed by all
those present. The audiences were
large, considering the fact that large
number of our people were away on
the 4th of July. We believe that we
are safe in saying that the program
this year is fully up to the high stan
dard of excellency of any year since
the Chautauqua course was started.

Americans find it more difficult than
b English to understand what Dick
ems means when he says in David Cop
perfteld": Women went clicking along
the pavement in pattens." Pattens
were an abbreviated form of stills. The
word is also used by builders as the
name Of the base of a column or pillar,
md so. architecturally, the patten is the
support used by a woman to keep her
out Of the water and mud. From this
architectural S has come the econd-
ary application OF the word, meaning
IN arrangement attached to the shoe,
20 that the walker is raised three or
Tour inches above the solid earth. Ii
the mud and water did not exceed that
depth. the shoes were thus kept fairly
dry. 1t appears that pattens were not
worn solely by the rich, but were lux
uries INDUCED in by the very poor. In
speaking OF a persons who was not es-
pecially speedy. Ben Jonson uses the
comparison. you make no more haste
now than a bsggar upon %pattens." In

Like the chamber comedy. the cham
Der opera, is an exclusive stage
product for exclusive people but at
reasonable prices.
The chamber stage Is small affair
and the personnel, while of neces-
sity high class. is limited to few.
The aim is to produce pieces whose
literary or musical qualities are in
herent and do not need the support
of elaborate stage settings and me-
respects the chamber play returns to
the essentials Of the Greek comedy,
that is to say, only the play and the
acting. or the music and its rendition,
matter.
Meritorious one and two-act operas

GOOD OPERAS
SEEN IN VIENNA
War Has Not Affected to Great
Extent the Production
of Plays.

Vienna. March 10. Correspondence
Of The Associated Press)-The sea-
sons production in operas. light
operas musical shows, and plays gen.
orally has been good despite the war.
Viennese may do without q good
many things. but it seems that music
and comedy they must have. a crav-
ing which they have been able to sat
isfy unstintingly, because stage pro-
mental regulation. while composers.
playwrights. singers and actors have
ways for keeping away from tho
front.
The output in operas has been linn
tied. However. three new works
made their appearance. Two of them
never went beyond their premieres.
Only Richard Strauss "Ariadne at
Naxos'' proved a success-after the
composer has made a goodly number
Of corrections. Even the "Stargazer"
Of Franz Lehar, great favorite that he
f.. had to move off the boards al
though its life was prolonged by an
overhauling Of score and libretto.
A light opera innovation which has
enjoyed considerable success is Leo
Falls 1.-THE Rose of Stamboul." The
title Is wholly unrelated to the argu-
ment of the book. and the music IL
q hyOrld between oriental tam-tam
and Viennese motives. But the play
has been seen by full houses for sew
eral weeks now. despite the fact that
there Is only one melody in it which a
Vienna music lover could remember.
The season has brought an ava
lanche Of musical one-acts. In effect
these are vaudeville sketches in
rhyme set to music. which in a sur
prising number OF cases is remarka-
bly, good. The musical comedy sketch
is the effort Of young and unknown
composers. 1t is given in houses
where dinner can be had during the
performances. Nevertheless. some
genuine play building and meritorious
music may be seen in these thirty
minute operas. AS a dispeller Of
