The trouble started when the university tried to put the glee club on somewhat of a business basis after it had accumulated a deficit of $2200. Part of this “business basis” consisted of the securing of a reg- ulag musical director, supplanting Clinton R. Murse, who had been the leader of the glee club for these many years, and the establishing of a standard of membersi which musical abili isite, and not good The university assumed the debts of the jee club and undertook to liquidate them. he executive committee dispensed with Morse and luked Da of the club.

There are sharps and flats where | they don't belong, and things are running very much on ragtime. Du Ray Smith sald to-day: “It looks now as though the executive committee would refuse to appoint Morse, and from the stand taken by the glee club boys this will practically mean the break- | ng up of the club. The organization will continue, however. under the name of ‘The California Entertainers.’ Mr, King has not held a rehearsal vet, but I don’t belleve any of the fellows will go when he does. It isn't that the boys have any particular objection to Mr. King, but they see no reason for changing from Morse. Of course, there is a whole lot of right on both sides. The executive committea has assumed our debts, amounting to some $2000, and -we ought to stand by them. On the other hand, we ought to have a conge- nial crowd and a congenial leader to do good work." C. R. Morse. once director of the glee club but now leader of the California En- tertainers, said: “The boys have stood out for the elec- tion of their own members. and in this fight they have practically won. Accord- ing to their wishes, I have been directing them. Next vacation we will go south under the name of the Californta Enter- talners.” “I do not believe there will be any trou- ble,” said Graduate Manager Reno Hutch- inson. - “The boys will see reason. We have assumed their debt and they will be willing to sing under the new director we have appointed. The r.ce club will take a short trip this year, but unless we are certain of results will take no long one.” Meanwhile “The California Entertain- ers” are rehearsing for their first enter- talnment, to be given Tuesday ev the Berkeley Opera-house. Christmas va- cation they will tour the southern of the State under the m-n«-&o.mant of C. R. Morse. The members of old glee club ‘who will appear Tuesday night under the new name are as follows: Arthur Nahl, H. M. Schuster, Walter Brown, Walter Bakewell, Charles Coleman, Ray Judah, Du Rey Smith, George Fish.

In the last act of “The Tempest,” where Prospero “discovers (that fs, discloses) Ferdinand and Miranda playing at chess, we are to unde tand that he draws back | the side curtains, which up to that mo- | | val of two years, the plays of Shakespears | have been frequently acted there upon a | spectally prepared stage. Only such omis- sions .are made in the text as good tasts | demands. The stage is not a strict imi- tation of the Elizabethan, but s said to resemble it in the more important feat- ment had shut off the back stage, In order | yres. Only a moderate use is made of | that the King of Naples and his nobles may behold the lovers. The doors which lead from the back stage into the “tiring house” sometimes come into the action. For example, they represent the gates of Corioli. Through one of these Caius Marcius enters the city alone and then fights his way out again covered with blood, thus inspiring his fol- Jowers to capture the city and winning for himself the proud name Corjolanus. These same doors are the gates of many different cestles and cities in the plays which are named from the various Eng- lish Kings. One who has given special attention to the matter can res {he presentation of Shzkespeare's plays was the balcony over the “tiring house.' This third or upper stage with the hinder wall of the back stage represented the walls of many cities and casties—for ex- ample, the castle wall from which young Arthur jumps .to his death in “King Jobn.” This lttle gallery becomes the window from which Brabantio speaks at the opening of “Othello,” and the window of Julie chamber. From here Christo- pher Sly. changed into a lord, witnesses “The Taming of the Shrew.” Looking from this balcony Henry VIII sees Cran- mer as he waits on the front stage out- side the council chamber (act V, scene %) and then is harshly treated within the council chamber, the back stage, In “Richard 1II" Gloucester comes to the front of the balcony when with consum- ate hypocrisy he makes his appearance between two Bishops™” (IIT, 7). Uggn this pper stage the play before the King in Hamlet” was presented. This upper es refuge. Antony is lifted up to her }"r‘(’fm’ the ffonr of the back stage that he may dle in her arms. Since the back stage was furnished and arranged to represent in a rough way each specific indoor scene. two back scenes representing different interiors could not come in successlon. since this would give no opportunity to change the furnishings, and the Elizabethan audiences had not learned to wait. Shakespeare was com- ize how important in | | stage furnishings and decorative effects. } The element is kept subordinate. Thers are no waits between ihe scenes and oniy | slight ones between ‘he acts. The_ spe- clally prepared stage employed at Mu | chen is called “dle Shakespegre-Buhn the Shakespeare stage. Many lovers of Shakespeare in Germany are enthusfastic over this reform. They insist that a whola play of Shakespeare makes a very dif- ferent impression from the selected parts and tableau effects to which the modern stage has accustomed us. The Shakes- pearean presentations at Munchen offer an abunrance of pleasure and instruction for the students of the great dramatist The peculiar featurs in the mechanism of the Shakespeare-Buhne Is said to ba | that one movable back stage can be set in order while another is being used; each of these back parts can.be moved in be. hind the permanent forward portiom of the stage when it s wanted. The important facts are that Shakes- peare’s plays are given at Munchen In full, without waits, and with only a mod- erate amount of stage furnishing. The accent is put upon the acting elocu- tion and not upon the scene painting and rich setting. Judging by the reports tha experiment I8 a success, popularly, edu- cationally and financially.
