Vaudeville Talent i'm Great
Double Benefit Bill To-nieht

On such a scale of stellar entertain
ment that it requires two of the largest
Eheatcrs in New York, the fifth annual
benefit of the National Vaudeville
Artists, takes place tonight at the
Hippodrome and the Manhattan Opera
House.
One hundred stars and headliners
will appear in the tremendous pro-
grams beginning at 8 o'clock and con-
tinuing until midnight. All of the ar
lists appear at both the Hippodrome
and the Manhattan Opera House, a
shuttle system of automobiles having
been arranged to carry them back and
forth between the two theaters.
Three minutes on the stage is the
maximum time allotted any one. Many
OF the artists will make il snappyn
ana do their turn in less than that. The
iaea OF the booking experts who have
iaid cut the bills is to have the ar
lists go into high" the moment they
oegin their act and simply offer the
choicest bits of their repertory.
The N. Y. A. program Mt both houses
might well be billed as great mo-
nents, great comedy and great songs,
from famous acts. 1t will present the
essence OF the current vaudeville stage.

The ''Chephore'' OF Aeschylus
Given as I'm Classic Siracusa

tron of letters and arts, who governed
from 478 until 467 B. C.
The Committee of Siracusans. who
to-day feel the same pride and inter
est in their theater and town as their
forefathers and who united in this
scheme to produce again the plays of
the Greek tragedian, are hoping that
| next year the third part of the drama.
"Eumenidi," will be given. This was
their idea seven years ago, when "Aea-
memnon" was such q success, but the
World War interfered, and during the
last two years tourists remained away
from Italy, so only this year was it
possible to produce the second part.
The theater is ideal of it's kind. as.
apart from the play, the audience looks
out over the wonderful view of the
harbor,
For twelve days the play was given
daily and the seats for all the per-
tormances were booked. Many of the
people of Siracusa were forced to at-
tend the final rehearsals, as in many
cases all the tickets had been sola
to American, English and other tour
lists who had applied to the COMMITTEES
in Rome.
! With this revival of Greek PLAYS an
interest is now being taken in a plan
of some Italian playwrights to produce
not only the famous tragedies of
Aschylus but those of Roman writer's
OF ancient times. No country has so
many Greek theaters and Roman amphi-
theaters. Siracusa itself can boast not
only of its Greek Theater, the largest
IN the world, but also of Roman
amphitheater, built by Augustus in 21
b. C., over 400 years after Hiero's
reign. 1t, too, is cut out of sheer rock.
with added blocks of stone. 1t is fourth
IN size, the Coliseum being the largest,
with that Of Verona and Capua next
in size. AS it is 1853 yards by $50 yards.
1T can seat thousands, while the arena
Is 22s feet by 129 feet. AS the weather
throughout Italy during the summer Is
dry the possibility of using these
amphitheaters for Roman plays is
splendid. Even that of Tuscuium. near
Rome, may be used for the tragedy of
"Callandra"
Now that people of all nations have
shown interest in this revival it is
hoped that the project of giving "Eu-
menidi" next year will not be aban-
doned. Of course these plays require
great deal of money, and in the pres
ent instance the committee has ad-
vanced $4,000 for the venture, which
they expect will cover expenses. The
scenery, owing to the cost of labor, was
more than 600 per cent dearer than
that painted for the play "Agamemnon"
seven years ago. The chorus and the
actors were also paid salaries far high
er than at that time. OF course it will
not prove paying venture for the
committee, who backed it for patriotic
| reasons.

SIRACUsA, Sicily, April 29.-on
April 16 Eschylus's play "Chephoren
was given before large audience
which listened to the tragedy with the
same interest evinced by other au-
diences that heard the same play, in
the same theater, more than 1000 wears
ago.
There was this difference. that then
the author Of the plav was present
while to-day only modern Greek tour
lists attended in his place Great pains
were taken to follow, faithfully. the
rules of the classical tragedy, especial
iy IN the reproduction of the stage ar
rangements and costumes, which were
historically correct. The stage built
on the foundations was decorated with
flowers and had Greek background
'Chephore" is the second part of
Eschylus's trilogy called "Oresteia.' .
1t is considered his greatest, while his
last work, and is the only complete
trilogy Of his in existence. That it is
the most marvellous play ever written
is attested by the interest which 9
modern audience of the twentieth cen.
tury has felt all during the present
performance. The first part of the
drama, "Agamemnon," was given seven
years ago, and at that time it was pro.
posed to produce "Chephore" the fol.
lowing year, but war interfered.
In the play as given to-day Orestes
with his own hand, avenges the death
of his father. The scene of the play
is laid at Argos, with the central figure
Clytemnestra, wan and fearless, hat
ing her accomplice and striving ia
dominate her revengeful son. From
the beginning to the end this powerful
woman carries with her a cloak of in.
difference, accepting her tragic fate
Woven with these wonderful moving
lines is the most moving scene-that
IN which the old slave nurse, arriving
with message for Egisthus, hears of
the supposed death of her charge
Orestes.
There is no doubt that the repre-.
sentation was success. Italians ALWAYS
have succeeded in producing these
Greek plays with wonderfully artistic
| accuracy. The audience consisted moi
only of Italians but many American
and English tourists, who came from
all part of the world to listen to this
never old tragedy.
The Greek Theater where the drama
was given is the largest one of its
kind in the world, and is in very good
condition. If all its fifty-six tiers were
put into order it probably would be the
largest theater of any kind, except the
Coliseum in Rome.
AT the performances the public sat
IN forty-five tiers, which held the
thousands who had booked their seats
many weeks ago. Even to-day one

musical comedy their devotion to the
chorus of that production became spec
tacuiar. During the engagement of the

they showered flowers and diamonds in
almost equal proportion upon the
young women of the ensemble. Occa-
sionally their ranks were decimated by
marriage to some of the chorus. Their
standing backstage was far superior
to that of any mere passing Harvard

they backed musical productions and
in many cases travelled with them as

Native drama was then virtually in
its infancy, the managers producing
mostly English pieces, with q few
