As all will be given in the open theater, a colonnade will be set aside for the actors and choruses and seats on the green for the audience. The performances will begin about 2 in the afternoon and will close, as the shades of evening gather over the Sicilian hills, with splendid renditions of the choruses. Three days a week only will the performances be given allowing ample time for those who have never visited this enchanted land to journey to Palermo and the lovely cities along the Adriatic, where the Greek culture survived the longest after the Roman Invasion.

Kent Wetherill, | a later owner, was a successful mural artist, and, with Richard Blossom Farley, he adorned the walls of the series ‘of drawing rooms with some ]uqumm paintings of the sylvan type. There is an Itallan atmosphere in the dwelling-enhanced with a num- ber of intimate little galleries with tretted iron railing, with Cupids flut- | tering on the tiers and symbolic | paintings in the niches above. Emi- | nent American artists of today have | Riven their best to this new home of the Philadelphia alliance, which | has accomplished _so much for the higher things. The dining rooms have been adorned by Elmer Scofield, Helen Turner, Gardner Symons and Leopold Seyfert. There are two gal- | leries on the second floor, where at | the present time many vases of John Carroll are hanging, this artist having received a prize In the last | international art exhibit in the Car- { negie Museum in Pittsburgh. This | club, like the Arts Club of this city, proposed to hang canvases of others who have secured honors in the in-| ternational sense.

Lefter, Charles Henry George | Howard, who is the twentieth Earl of Suffolk and the thirteenth of Berk- shire, attained his majority last March, but he declined to return to| the ancestral castle and has remained in charge of the large interests estab- lished by Lord Apsley. This searcher after facts has recently returned to | London and sits in the House of Com- | mons for the borough of Southampton, | whence so many emigrants depart for the South Pacific, and young Howard, who has worked in the fields, in the mines, on ranches, everywhere, to ob- tain first-class knowledge of condi- tions, is to keep up Apsley's work.
