EHREND 1.89 THE EVENING KNAPP EXPLAINS ROMAN THEATER Archeological Society of Washing- ton Hears Lecture on Ancient Stage and Aots. 4 Prof. Charles Knapp 4f Columbla University addressed the Archeologi- cal Soclety of Washington at fits monthly meeting, held last night at the residence of Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, 1801 Sixteenth street. His subject was “The Roman Theater,” and Dr. Knapp, who is editor of the (lassical Weekly as well as professor of Latin in Barnard College of the university, fllustrated his lecture with many lantern slides of famous Roman theaters and explained in de- tall many simlilarities between the theater and drama of the Roman days and the present. Desoribing the best examples still in existence of theaters built by Rome during her halcyon days, the speaker called attention to one very marked difference between the modern and an- clent stago. In the Roman theater of Orange, France, for example, he sald, the stage itself, instead of baing the miniature affair to which theater- goers of today are accustomed, some 40 feet wide by perhaps 15 deep, was more than 150 feet wide and 40-some feet deop, with the scena, or soene be- hind, rising to a height of more than 100 feet. ‘This rear “scene,” instead of befng a painted drop, was a solid structure erected to be permanent and representing monumental struc tures which could be used without | change to show either a temple or a palace or series of splendid mansions. The Romans used no movable scenery. In the acting of the plays. Dr. Knapp found many contrasts as weil as simi- laritles with the modern theater. The two foremost Latin writers of com edies. Plautus and Terence, instead of writing down to the level of a stupid audience; as many have declared, were shown by Prof. Knapp to have done remarkable work. The Immortal hakespeare himself. in his comedy ‘Much Ado About Nothing,” was not so successful as Plautus in “The Mi ser.”” in depicting both human nature and spontaneous humor. The Roman liking for the drama was, however, le: keen than for the arena and the cus, as may be seen from the seating of the respective edifices. In the largest of the true theaters, per- haps 4.500 could be accommodated. The Colosseum, the largest of amphi- theaters for gladiatorfal combats and Sl N C BTAR, WASHINGTON, games, seated perhaps 50,000, and the estimates of the seating capacity of the Circus Maximus, Rome's greatest public meeting place, run all the way from 200,000 to 350,000. The “Prologos,” making the intro- ductory speech before the real play began, warned the women with nurs- ing babies to keep quiet and said they ought to have stayed at home; and {f they laughed at all, they were to do it quietly and not break up the show. Those who had come without break- fast were bluntly told to stay hungry until they could fill themselves with the pl d “next time, get up before break The secretary of the soclety, Arthur Stanley Riggs. announced the election of the following new members: The Minister of (Guatemala and Mme. Sanchez Latour, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Austin, Mr. and Mre. Willlam Living- aton Crounse, Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Hurd Hill, Mr, and Mrs. Demarest Lloyd, Dr. and Mrs. James G. McKay, Mr. and Mrs. Stokeley Willlam Mor- gan, Dr. and Mrs. Davenport White. President Robert Lansing announced that the roster of the society is com- pletely filled and that a walting liat is being maintained. The March meet- ing of the soclety will be held at the residence of Hon. Trwin B. Laughlin, former United States Minister to Greece, when Prof. T. Leslie Shear of Princeton University will speak on his recent excavations at Corinth. o iy MAKES PENSION PLEA. Will Hays Says Rellef for Aged Ministers Is Profit-Sharing.
