Story Of
"Edipus Rex"

OF the two "Edipus Rex" S the more
dramatic. The story is founded on a
Greek legend. l-aius was warned by the
Oracle that he would be murdered by
his own son. When the child was born
he ordered that he should be exposed
and his feet pierced Contrary to the
orders Of the king the child was not
put TO death. but vas brought up in
ignorance Of his parentage. One day
when Laius vas passing down a narrow
road re met youth who Quarreled
with him and slew him. Ignorant Of
whom he had killed. the youth passed
without another thought. At that time
the country was revaged by monster
called Sphinx Ordyius, who before
killing his victims, asked them rid
die. Edipus met him and solved the
riddle which empowered him TO rid the
country Of the monster. In the tragedy
OF Soph oces. Edipus strives to solve the
mystery OF his fathers death. which,
when unrsvelcd. proves that ne was
the murderer. In horror ard remorse
he put his own eyes out. The part Of
Edipus Rex was taken BY we'll known
Italian tragedian. Annibale Musti. an
actor OF great talent and possessing 3
wonderfully nelodious voice, which,
owing 10 It's clearness. is well adapted
TO the open-air performances The
scenery and costumes 70 both plays
were designed By Du!lIo Cambelloti,
who vas so successful last year in his
staging of the "Coephere'
For the "Edipus" quite & different
stage setting was placed, representing
the Sphinx The chorus was wonder
fully trained by Maestro Giuseppe
Mute, who composed and collaborated
also last year The most difficult part
was the music for the "Bacchante.' as
TO trace Of the original Greek dancing
motifs remains. as is the case with the
chorus music, But after much study
s1prosabiy proper effect was achieved.

"Bacehante" Written
In Fifth Century 3. {.

The "Bacchante" WAS. from the time
1t was written in the Afth ccntur"
before Christ, the most popular of
Eurlpides's plays not only for the op-
portunity OF obtaining scenic effects,
but also because Of its suitability for
public occasions. 1t appealed to all
classes. 1t is said that Lucien notes in
MS writings that he saw an !lliterste
person at Corinth reading q copy of
the "Bacchane' of Euripides This
man Of the people had reached the
place where the messenger narrates
the doom of Pintheus and the death of
Agavc, Demetrius snatched the book
from him and tore it up. saying: ut
is better for Pintheus to be torn up at
orce by me than be mangled over and
over again by you
Euripides. called by some the FORE
runner of rationalism, was born in $50
B C.. and died in 406 B. c.. Though in
his time he revolutionized playwriting,
II
c.es as one of the three great tragedy
writer's Of ancient Greece. He was the
first Greek poet to indulge in the hu-
man interest touch Of the individuals
IN his plays. It was his writings about
King Archeteus opening up the wild
land Of Macedonia which caused that
king to invite him to his court, His
popularity caused a great deal of jeal-
ousy and resulted in plot against his
life, when he was killed BY an attack
from savage dogs.
The season Of Greek plays at Syra-
cuse is short one, lasting only from
the end Of April until May 10. The
rooms in the city of Syracuse have
been booked for weeks and the town is
full. but still trains arrive laden with
tourists eager TO see the plays.

Doing the unexpected in baseball is

that features Outnelder Perry and

The pitcher realized that he must put
everything ne had on the ball.
II was a tense situation The frst

Paul Moore occupies a unique po-
sition in pugilistic circles.
Moore is legitimate bantam. He
has been hrhting for nine years.
During that time he has outpoint-
cd four holders OF the bantam title,
some OF them decisively, yet he has
never worn the crown.
The reason. OF course, lies In the
fact that Moore met the champs in
no decision bouts, In each case he
won the unanimous verdict OF the
newspaper men. Unfortunately for
Paul the title does not go with such
decisions.

Moore outpointed williams in most

What is the proper decision and
what are the rights OF the runner?
Is the batsman in any way affected
Until two years ago the rules per-
mitted the pitcher to set on the rub
bcr without having the ball In his

That has been changed. The
