number
The Benda masks, while really a new
art as adapted TO the modern theatre,
are revival OF the old Greek masks,
which haven't been seen In New York
since Percy MacKaye's "Caliban" was
given during the Shakespearian festival
five years ago.
The Greek mask has been called tho
forerunner of the modern Closeup in
motion pictures probably the first

tngatros open to the sky. with the stage
usually IN the centre OF the bowl.
Twenty 70 thirty thousand spectators
often attended these performances and.
because of the great expanse of seat
Ing space. the actors found IL necessary
to make use Of the most sweeping form
Of expression. The chorus---larRe groups
of singers-announced the action, and
the actors used stilts and masks. Inas-
much as the players wore flowing robes
II was not difficult 10 hide the stilts
and the actor assumed through them a
greater height. The mask was used
because the spectators could not see the
play of faclal expression. and the actor.
throbsh these mechanical means, was
able 10 portray every emotion. joy, sad
ness. pathos or frivollty.
The old masks we're the extreme ex-
preston Of a mood and not a modifica-
tion. The Greeks were masters Of
sculpture and-although they seldom de-
picted emotion In the faces of their
marbles ard bronzcs--they carved their
dramatic masks with the fullest vigor
as can be seen In the typical masks OF
comedy and tragedy used In modern
theatre decorations. Gaudy coiors also
were used TO heighten the effect OF the
mask.
