dramatically the chorus is a most valuable
asset. The choruses of the Greek PLAYS
need, perhaps, to be simplified and short
cned, but they contain material which is
potent with suggestion for modern song
and dance.

the ancient Greeks painted both statues
and temples with brilliant hues, and as we
learn, for example, from the Tanapra fp
urlnes, many bright coors were to be found
IN their gracefully flowing garments. Then.
IN dealing with the stories Of Greek drama
"hich are supposed to take place before the

granted to scenic artist and costumer. As
suggestive and corrective material there
stand ready to hand not only the we'll
known master works of Greek art, but the
more recently unearthed objects belonging
to the Minoan civilization"
The writer doubts the probability of
any ones advocating the singing Of
creek tragedy in Greek. That, obvious
ly, would be going too far. For. of
course, every composer naturally pre-
fers to set his music to a libretto in his
own tongue" But this offers no obstacle
Indeed, here is an opportunity "for Eng
