Club to
Present
Success
Victor Herbert'S Light
Opera Hit Is Due
Here.

Before their production of Victor
HerCert's Naughty Marietta" was
ready to so on tour, the producers
expended tremendous sum staging
the opersetta, providing beautiful
scenery to stand the wear and tear
of travel, securing gorgeous cos
tunes, to say nothing of the added
expenses of a highly paid company
OF performers during weeks Of re-
hearSal.
A designed was sent to Europe to
secure costumes and materials for
the production.
And as a result many New York
ers who witnessed the origial
Naughty Marietta" a few years
ago have assured the producers that
their revival is in every way a more
artistic and effective production.
This is not surprising. as much
progress has been made in all de-
partments of the theater since Her
bert's masterpiece was originally
staged.
However, the costs incidental to
staging an elaborate production
have likewise moved forward, and
the outlay for the revival is more
than double the cost of the original
production.
Heretofore, the rising generation
which also has been bounding right
along has only been able to hear
Victor Herbert music through the
medium of the photograph, radio
and an occasional orchestra.
When Naughty Marietta" comes
to the Murat on Wednesday, Dec. u.
the new crop of young folks will be
given an opportunity to enjoy the
greatest of all Victor Herbert works
IN the manner in which all of his
compositions were restricted through
out his life-to the theater.
For Herbert never permitted ex-
cerpts to be played from his light
operas. They we're released only for
presentation in their entirety OH the
stage by reputable artists.
The whole operetta centers around
Marietta, a capriciouS, mischief
making, lovable girl continually get
ting in and cut of hot water. Miss
Era Briggs, who plays the part of
Marietta, will be remembered as the
prima donna in Castles in the Air"
during its New York run, She is
surrounded by many more principals
and choristers. Then there is a
Sylvia Tell ballet and the Marietta
orchestra.
1t is sponsored by the Indianapolis
Womans Panhellenic organization.

that they are seldom so sung.
With all the beauty and perfec-
ton of Roland Hayes interpreta-
lions of the "art" songs, it is the
Negro spirituals which seem most
clearly to distinguish his genius
from that of any other living
singer. He has the soft, mellowed
voice of his race, but in a far finer
degree. He knows these songs as
of his own people.
With his truly remarkable ability
for emotional self-projection and
vivid illusion, he actually expert
ences their poignant suffering, their
simple and abject religious fervor
1t is small wonder that his audience,
wherever it may be, is held trans
flgured-even vaguely disturbed
For the emotion Of the "spiritualS,"
however exalted, is VITAL stark,
rather than polite.
Europe scarcely knew this great
American treasury of folk-SongS
until Roland Hayes sang them
there.
1t is not surprising that he has
started England. France and CEN
trail Europe talking about them.
When Roland Hayes first sang be-
fore the King and Queen Of Eng
land, and when he sang again be-
fore the queen last spring, both
were profoundly stirred by the
"Spirituals"; they questioned him
about them and pressed him to sing
all of them he knew.

TINE ABOARD SHIP

Time is announced on shipboard
by striking bell every half hour.
The system dates from the DAYS of
the half-hour sandglass, when the
ships bell was struck each time the
glass was turned. It has been re-
tained because it is a convenient
method of communicating to the
sailors, who are often scattered
about the ship.
According to the system used in
the American navy, the "a hours of
the day are divided into six watches
as follows: First watch, 8 o'clock D.
m. to midnight; mid watch, midnight
to 4 a. M; morning watch, 4 a. m. to
8 a. m; forenoon watch, 8 a. M, to
noon; afternoon watch, noon to 4 p.
m, and the dog watch, 4 D. m. to 8
p. m.
The dog watch is divided into the
first dog watch, from 4 D. m. to 6 D.
m, and the second dog watch, from
p. m. to 8 p. m. These short wat
ches receives their name from the
mechanical devics know as a "dog,"
which consists Of simple adjustable
stop for reversing motion, such as
n a planing-machine. The dog watch
Milford chronicle., 1928-12-21

changes every night the hours dur.
ing which the starboard and nor
watches are on deck. In other words
Like mechanical dog-it operates
to change the hours of the crew on
watch.
A regular watch consists of four
hours and its expiration is announc-
ed by eight bells. The bells are
struck as follows: 12 o'clock noon.
eight bells; 1890 p. M, one bell /:
one O'Clock p. M, two bells; 1880 n.
M, three bells; two o'clock D. m.
four bells; 2:S0 p. M, five bells:
tnIee O'Clock p. M, six bells; $3.50
O'Clock p. M, seven bells; four o.
clock p. m, eight bells; 4:3O O'Clock
p. M, one bell; five O'Clock D. M.
TWO bells, and so on through 'everv
watch.
rms system is uniform on all ma
val vessels. A similar system is in
use on merchant vessels, altbOueb
IN many cases the details are left
largely to the masters of the various
vessels. In the British navy one bell
instead of seven is struck near tbe
END OF the second dog watch. This is
based on a tradition, which saws that
in the old days a mutiny was brew
ing in the British navy and the NH
tlneers had agreed to seize the off
GERS on a certain day at seven be11s
in the second dog watch. The GO
cret' however, leaked out and the
officers circumvented the uprising
by having one bell struck and inn |
mediately seizing the ringleaders.
TO know the time of day by bells
one must know which of the civ
watches it is. Bells are struck ac-
cording to ships time o'clock timel
which is the time of the time zone
the ship is in. The earth is divided
into time zones, bounded by meridi-
ans Is degrees apart and as a shin
goes fro none time zone to another.
ships time o'clock time) is set ahead
Dr. back, depending on whether the
ship is sailing on neasterly or wes-
.erly course, in the same manner
hat railroad time changes in cross ,
ng the continent. Navigation. how
'ver, is based on Greenwich time
which is kept by the ships chrono-
9eters' which are the most accurate
locks made.
The ships bell is struck in the
ollowing manner. The clapper is
.rasped tightly in the righ hand and =
he bells struck in pairs, followed \
y a brief interval, provided of .
curse that it is more than two bells.
or instance, suppose the time is
:3O p. m. The ships bell is struck S

-hich the hand is Immediately plac-
