The expressionists, Mr.. MacGowan
explained, are the ultra -modernists
who are trying to solve this problem
with queer, cubistic scenery that
seem excellent background for night
mares, but do not always get the
same result with the general audi
ence's sub-conscious reaction as was
intended by, the designer of the sets.
There is also the permanent stage
setting which, with minor changes, Is
made to serve for interior and ex-

Gently in New York for a production

sponse from several critics. according
to Mr.. MacGowan. The same back
ground was used in scenes of the
duel, the palace interiors and the
graveyard where Ophelia was buried
THE artist was unable to convince
his audience in this instance with the
reality of the atmosphere of the vari-
Gus distinct scenes" said Mr.. Mac
Gowan, land some of the critics the
next morning said that 'Ophelia was
buried in the front parlor of the
palace"
Although Mr.. MacGowan admitted
that many attempts in novel stage
settings were silly, he also found
specific instances in which he recon-
mended the settings highly. He, per-
sonally. found especial interest in the
attempts of Gordon Craig and Joseph
Urban, and the artists under the
direction of Herr Reinhardt.

ADJUSTMENTS
Kenneth MacGowan,s Lecture.

Kenneth MACEDONIAN. New York dra-
matte critic and authority on stage
craft, was the guest of the Rams
Head Players at their miniature play
house yesterday afternoon and even
Ing. Robert Bell, director of that or
ganization, presented Mr. MacGowan
in the afternoon to an audience who
listened intently to a delightful lee
ture by Mr.. MacGowan on 1.-The New
Stagecraft. In the evening, an in
vited audience of those primarily in
terested In the development of mod
ern drama. enjoyed. with Mr.. Mac
Gowan, special performance of two
OF the most, charming plays presented
by the. Rams Head Players during
the past season-"L'Infant Prologue"
pantomimic fantasie, and Joint Own
ers In Spafn," one of Alice Browns
one-act comedies.
Mr.. MACEDONIAN is the author of two
books on stagecraft and used some
material from one of them in his lee
ture, which he illustrated in an in
teresting manner with stereopticon
slides, showing the development of
the art of stage decoration from the
days of the Greek and Roman outdoor
theater, through the periods of the
Shakespearean and Italian Renais-
sance revivals of theatrical interests,
up to the theaters of century ago
and, finally, the super-modern thea
lSTS OF EUROPE ana New York today.
There are three important factors
In the theater," said Mr.. MACEDONIAN,
the playwright, the actor and the
setting. OF these three the first two
are undeniably the more important
and IT is my personal opinion that the
actor is most important of all three
factors.
81 believe we will have better plays
shortly and l am sure that we will
have better actors.
During the last few years the the
ater has emphasized the setting rath-
er than the play and players, and we
nave had much beautiful scenery to
balance the rather poor plays and me-
diocre acting. 1t is with just such
organizations as this, the Rams Head
Players. small, ambitious organiza-
tions, that have thoughts beyond the
financial success of the theater, that
the salvation and progress of things
theatrical lie
Mr.. MacGowan showed pictures Of
the revolving stages favored by Max
Reinhardt, the German Belasco He
also laid particular stress on the i'm
pressfonistic settings such as Gordon
Craig designs, which concentrate on
the mode of the scene.
There is constant struggle
against using the purely artificial
canvas flats that take away the sense
of reality in a play and also against
super-realism when so much detail
cutters up the stage that the actor is
submerged and, If the spectator
doesn't care for the play, he can

NOT DEAD
NORLD,A AYERS
SCIENTIST
Plant Is Changing and Has
Changed, He Says
After Study.
By CHARLES A. SMITH.
international News Service.

LONDON, Sept. 5.-That Mars
Is changing, and has changed, and
that the planet is far from being q
dead world, are the main observa-
tons given in a detailed report re-
ceived in London from P. M.
Ryves, the English astronomer, who
for more than year has been
watching the planet at Teneriffe
through a powerful telescope placed
at a height of 5000 feet.
Mars appears to be far from a
dead world, Ryves reports. but
whether it is inhabited by intelli-
gent humans like those Of our
sphere Ia perhaps the most alb
sorbing question yet to be solved.
l. In his remarks as to the planets
propensity for changing, Ryves
maintains that the changes are
most marked.
Sea Is Changed.
1.-THE dark marking called Syrtis
Major, or Hour Glass Sea, from it's
shape, which is more familiar to
man than any object on the plane
tary map. has developed an APP
pendage," he says. 1T has a tumor
on it's side. entirely altering its
appearance and giving it nearly
square shape.
"In 1909 there was no vestige Of
this. Also, in a period Of fourteen
years more than 100000 square
miles Of country formerly charac-
| terized by the pale yellow tint Of
| the bright supposedly desert re-
gions has changed to an obscure
| dusky brown.
"Of the so-called lakes some have
been unusually and persistently
dark during the last few months,
especially Lacus Soils, which a
few years ago had been nearly in
visible. 1t now shows up as an
intensely dark spot, about 400 miles
| across.
Canals Altered.
| Some Of the canals have
changed distinctly, and there have
been curious developments. a
fairly broad canal was detected
running down the 14Oth meridian
This is either new or reappear
ance Of the Canal Aethiops, which
had faded away" says Ryves.
| Most Of the canals are fairly
broad, straight or curved streaka
Some are dark and quite promi
nent; others more hazy and diff
cult to make out
1.-The Teneriffe observations dc
not show a vast and complicated
network" Ryves points out, "but
there are indications that the canals
are really there.
| Brilliant, small patches of g
pale yellow were made out and
pink in the deserts The colors
may be of volcanic origin, as al
Teneriffe deposits of pumice stone
stand out yellow white on rec
scoria."
Ryves concludes his observation:
for the first year by remarkinG
that something resembling hoal
frost or snow has been in the lower
latitudes of tn" planet, fading
away on the morning edge. 81
there are possibilities of boar fros
or possibly frozen gas there.

NEW OIL FIELD.
D|SCOvERED4N /
CALIFORNIA
Company Reports Well in Area
Producing 1000 Barrels Of
80 Gravity Daily.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.


LOS ANGELES: Sept. 7.-Coinci-
dent with the reduction of the price
of gasoline to 13 cents a gallon by
several of the big companies, an.
nouncement was made by the Union
Oil Company of the discovery oil
new oil field. 1t is located at
Compton, about ten miles from Los
Angeles, and in district where OIL
had not hitherto been produced.
The Union company had been
drilling near Compton for con
siderable period, the well being
known as Compton Wild Cat" and
experienced oil operators had pre-
dicted no oil would be found there.
The new well is producing 1,000
barrels dolly of 80 gravity oil, at
a depth Of 1000 feet.
The Shell company, the Globe Pc
treleum and other companies are
reported to have taken emergency
leases sometime ago in the Comp
ton district and are expected to be-
gin drilling at once.
The Compton district, oil opera
tors were discussing today, might
prove another Santa Fe Springs
which one of the big companies
abandoned after bringing in dry
holes" The Dutch-Shell Company,
in its aggressive campaign for more
oil, began drilling in the Santa Fe
Spring district and brought In a
four-thousand barrel well. This Was
the beginning of the Santa Fe boom
which has pumped millions OF dol.
lars in oil from the ground.

1t was revealed that a device
invented during the war definitely

of enemy submarines has been
utilized in measuring the ocean
bottom. With this instrument the
Government recently prepared at a
cost of $4,000 a huge map which
showed the detailed topography of
the ocean bottom. hills, valleys
and mountains which were once a
part of the dry land. While the
scientists closely studied this map
they were told that the coast line
of America possibly 100000 years
ago-one scientist said two million
years-was $50 miles beyond what
is today the coast line.
