Their lines were chanted to the ac-
compartment of single flute. Often

Most of the expense Of an Athe-
Man dramatic production lay in the
training of the chorus; usually
some wealthy citizen had here to
come to the rescue of the state.
Plutarch tells us that the repre-
Sentation of six plays cost Athens
more than the war against Persia
presumably excluding the sack Of
the capital.
There was an admission charge OF
six cents; but many people could
not afford so high price. and Peri
Giles made himself popular by ar
ranging for the practically free adj
mission of the poor.

THE audience was highly hetero-
= genous: men, boys and women
(of a certain class, freemep and
slaves. Enthusiasts came the night
before to stand in line for the bet
ter seats; they attached as much m
portance to the drama as we attach
to professional games.
But their behavior was not above
that of a bleacher congregation
They Missed as readily as they ap-
plauded, they kicked the seats with
their heels as a mode of dramatic
criticism, and in general they made
more noise than Plato liked.
They ate nuts and fruit as they
listened; and it seemed to Aristotle
that the failure Of play might be
judged from the exceptional guam
ttity of food eaten by the crowd.
Those who could afford it supplied
food to the actors, too, when the
play was particularly unsatisfactory;
so that a bad play was good means
of collecting provisions.
But along with figs and olives
would sometimes come sharp stones;
Aeschines was almost stoned to
death for poor play. Dramatists
came to guard against such show
erS by in stalling claqueurs at
strategic points; at times they threw
nuts to the audience as bride to
peace.
Frequently the crowd took active
control: it threatened the life of
Aeschylus for apparently revealing
one Of the Eleusian mysteries" it
occasionally stampeded the judges
into awarding the state prize not to
the best but to the most popular
play; and once it refused to permit
play of Euripides to continue until
the old dranlatist had suavely apol-
ogized for an irTeverent line.
What they had above all was en-
durance.k On each Of three success

comedy; itw as in such groups that

~ of the Parthenon, and look down
from the Acropolis to the sea. The
blue Aegean lies some eight miles
away, smiling complacehtly under
the sun.
On that island across the bay
King Xerxes sat; and in those wat
ers. so quiet now, the Greeks rewon
their liberties.
Nearer is the Piraeus, with its
shipping like toy-boats on a lake;
closer still the road which was once
walled in from the city to the port;
and at the bottom of the hill the
modest homes and narrow streets OF
Athens.
But here at our feet, rising from
the level belo walmost to where we
stand, is one of the great places in
human history. 1t is the Theatre
of Dionysus, where every year, with
drama festival and song, the Greeks
commemorated their joyous and
suffering god.
Thirty thousand seats, once OF
wood, then of marble and stone
range themselves in long half circles
row upon row, narrowing down at
the base of the Acropolis to meet
the stage.
In these carved and ornamented
seats at the front the officials OF
the city sat, and the priests of
DionysiuS. This plain semi circular
space paved with great slabs, was
the stage itself.
7 At the rear was the actors booth
the skene of "scene;;" its front
might be transformed to represent
temple or a palace, and its roof
supported strange continuance OF
pulley and crane designed to lei
down, as from heaven, the deus ez
machina (the god from the ma
chine), whose Intervention was used
by pious-or lazy-dramatists to un-
tie their knotted plots.
Otherwise the stage and the seat:

every breeze was welcome, and the
stars were sufficient covering.

TITO reach thirty thousand Athe-
Il mans. rising tier on tier against
the hill, considerable voice was nee
essary. Therefore the actors, even Of
the women's parts, were always
men; special shoe, the cothurnus
gave them added height, and the
masks they wore, besides making
their roles distinguishable from afar
gave resonance and carriage to then

Actors, drainatiStS, chorus anC

Their profession was far better hon.

Europe: they were exempt from
military service, and were allowed

It was an honor, not a. disgrace
to play part upon the stage, anc

Almost as important as the actor;
were the members Of the chorus,

scene. Indeed, the majority Of
Greek plays were named for the

Last week The Cody Enterprise
carried x short squib in the ed
itor's column regarding the prac-
tice of cooperative sheep and wool
shipments in Fremont county. This
is a splendid practice and is re-
sponsible for the splendid increase
in numbers of sheep on Park coun-
ty farms, especially on the govern
ment proect.
1t is estimated that there are
10000 breeding ewes on the Powell
fiat today. compared with 5000 two
years ago This increase is due
to the TACT hat money has been
made from farm docks, and these
focks would not be profitable if the
growers were not able to pool their
lambs and wool. 1t is safe to say
that 1000 of the sheep on the
farms are in punches of less than
100. and it is necessary for CO.

satisfactory market.
