Chorus For
igFestival
Grows Fast

The chorus for the oratorio
"creation," to be given at the
May Festival, is steadily growing
and very good work is being done
at rehearsals. After Easter, 1t is
thought, many of the singers who
are now preparing for Easter SER
vices will be able to attend. Choir
uses in nearby towns are rehears-
ing regularly and are Interested
in helping to make the Festival a
success. A recent trip was made
10 Albany by Mrs. Arthur Rain,
Mrs. ]. M. Clifford and Mrs. w.
Carlton Smith and a chorus from
there will assist with the oratorio.
One of the most beautiful and
he shown in the Living Pictures
most appealing of the pictures to
in the May Festival is the Ma
donna della Sedia." Mrs. ]. M.
Clifford and Miss Elizabeth Lord
have direct charge of arranging
the living pictures.
An interesting story belongs to
the madonna della Sedia," which
was painted by Raphael Of the
Florentine school of the 18th cen
tury.
About the year 1900, near the
city of Florence, in a tiny hut be-
meath a giant oak, there dwelt
kindly monk. This tree and a
Young girl who brought him food,
he called his two daughters. One
spring freshet swept away his
home, and he was forced to climb
the tree for safety. Here his other
daughter, Maria, found him, at
ter the waters had subsided. De-
claring that his two daughters
had saved his life, he predicted
fame for them both.
Maria married a cooper, and
the great oak was felled and made
into casks.
One day, the artist Raphael,
while wandering about the coun-
try side in search Of a model for
a new madonna, came upon the
wife and children of a cooper sit
ting in the doorway of their mod
est home. The loving group ex-
actly personified his dream. Hav-
ing neither paints nor canvas
with him, he seized piece of
charred wood and sketched a por-
trait of the little family on the
end of new cask.
The mother was the gentle Ma
ria, the cask part of the old oak.
This drawing was the first
draft of the wonderful painting
which has been known and loved
for over 400 years as the "Madon-
ma of the Chair"
Thus did the two daughters"
OF the old monk become famous.
The painting, which is now in
the Pitt galleries, in Florence, is

Actors Win
Praise
Home Play

1.-THE Hoosier Schoolmaster" as
presented by the American Legion
auxiliary under the direction OF
Lulu Rosamond Walton was a
very complete and interesting
production. The book was dra-
matized by Miss Walton and a
series of monologues and dia-
logues led up effectively to the
dramatic trial scene in which
Ralph Hartsook, the schoolmas-
ter, is tried for robbery.
= The role Of Hartsook was taken
by Donald Davidson and that of
Bud Means, the bad boy of the
school, by Virgil Anderson, These
two worked together effectively.
Frank Zinn as Squire Hawkins
probably won the most laughs of
the evening and little Catherine
Taylor as "Shocky" Thompson,
whom God forgot, called forth a
tear or two. Her acting was ex-
ceptionally good and her sweet
voice could be distinctly heard at
all times.
OF Mrs. Means, whose motto
was "Git a-plenty while you're
gittin' ., lived again in Martha
Mallory who made the part very
real. and a good impersonation Of
Granny Sanders was given by
Miss Sarah Solof.
Narratives were done by Mrs.
Minnie Taylor, Miss Jennelle Van
devort, Mrs. Walter Eberhard,
Miss Myrtle Moore, Miss Ruth
Ross and Miss Genevieve Barbour.
Roles not already mentioned were
done by William Walsh, as pros
ecuting attorney; Donald Cram
er, Squire Underwood; Stanley
Hitchcock, Captain Pearson; R. D.
Barton, Jack Means; Richard
Briggs, Peter Jones; Carl Wen
ger, DR.. Henry Small; Arlie An
derson, Walter Johnson; Donald
Rehbock, constable; F. W. Wal
ton, Crazy Tom; Mrs. Walter
Kirk, Hannah Thompson; Mrs.
Minnie Taylor, Mirandy Means;
Miss Kathleen Walsh, Martha
Hawkins.
The play was enthusiastically
received by the audience which
was of fair size. Special mention
should be made of the excellent
costumes and settings used in the
production.
