Forest Theater Productions

By Helen B. Nagelvoort

Our Firemen Organize Tribute to John W. Alexander

M ID S U M M E R N I G H T ’ S D REAM

The Forest Theatre is ideally a t.ipted to the presentation of “ A Midsummer-Night’s Dream,” and the production of it on Saturday evening by the Western Drama Society was oue of the real events in the theater’s history.

The setting was one of enticing lovliness. T ill pines aud gnarled, moss-hung oaks formed a back­ground for the leafy bowers of the fairies. Ou a miniature lake white water-lilies floated and throughout the fairy scenes was heard the trilling of bird voices and the siug- iug sound of the little waterfall.

The spirit of Puck is the inapii atiou of the play aud the perfect grace and inimitable manner of Opal Heron made her portrayal of the famous part a characteristically original oue Our last view of her as a glimpse out of the sky, was most daintily artistic

The work >>f the children playing the roles of the fairies was an evi deuce of the foug and patient j training they have had under the supervision of Miss Helen Parkes. Their singing, led bv Miss Inez Frates, was oue of the successes of tbe evening, and their dances, trained by Miss Jeanette Hoag- land, were full of childish natural­ness and fairy charm. Music for the dances was furnished by Miss Teresa Harrison ami Mr. Louis S. j .‘■'levin. Miss Kathariue Cooke! made a very attractive Titaoia, and \ tier costume, as well as that of Mr. I Heron in Oberou, was much ad- j

■ mired. Mr. Heron was very good to look upon, and if his heart was not in his action he is quite excus­able, since it is he who has borne the strain of rehearsing the actors and much of the responsibility ofthe production.

The four lovers, the Misses Olivia Roffe and Lucv Freeland and the Messrs W, S. Copper and D. 1/ James entered intotheir parts with exceptionally hue spirit and un­derstanding, succeeding admirably in making the difficult situations plausible.

T H R E E O R I G I N A L PLAYS

The Monday night performance of the Western Drama Society was a creditable one, the two new plays by members of the society being especially well received.

“ The Spy,” founded-ou a story by J. A Altsheler, was produced by Alice MacDougal. The setting was very pretty, aud the four par­ticipants, Herbert Herou. Theo­dore Criley, D. L. James and W. S. Cooper all did well with the parts. The drunken colonel was especially well characterized by Mr. Criley and his German accent was very clever. Mr. Heron, when he threw himself into his part, made the young Lafayette realis­tic The French soug was well i done, and the finale of the play, i with Lafayette’s voice floating iu from the distance, was very effect­ive. The plot of the play is not a bad one, but the liues in many instances are quite impossible.

‘‘The Columbine,” written bv Helen Parkes, is a charming fancy. The opening tableaux was very pretty, and the ending quaint aud appealing. Calyptre and all her fairies should hi* most highly com­plimented. Opal Heron was an ideal elfin chief, and little Phyllis Overstreet again proved herself an astonishingly clever actress Mar­garet Williams was very attractive as Alar. This flower fantacy is most artistic and its plea in favor of contentment is oue we would all do well to heed.

It is a pitv that so mauy must leave the “ heights,” but it is quite true that wheu ouce the seed of' discontent lias been sown t h e former peace aud poise are difficult to regain. The Colubine fairies, are very like the people who walk opeu-eved into suffering for th" sake (if undergoing new experi­ences.

“ The First Poet,” a play of the Stone Age, by Jack London, was very "ell produced by Herbert Heron. Before the performance there seemed to be not a little don lit as to how the play would be received, but apparently the audi­ence was very appreciative. The I thought is so presented that it will !Be unpleasant neither to the lovers [ of red liver nor to the stargazers, i The atmosphere was truly prim-jval but oue finds it very easy to

Monterey Pageant at the Exposition

The first of a series of dra­matic pageants, portraying the earlv historv of California, the landing of Father Serra, was put on at the San Francisco exposition last Thursday. The establishment of the missions in northern California w as vividly enacted.

The affair was staged in the Fine Arts Lagoon, and was under the direction of Father R. M. Mestres. Several of the original vestments were used.

The production of the page­ant. has been an annual affair. This performance was the first: to be staged away from his­toric surroundings. _________distinguish in present-day life the direct descendants of Oan, Uk, Un, aud Dd. Fortunately for the

' artistic world of today, the Oans are handled a trifle more gently than thev were in stone age times.

Herbert Heron as Oau was en­tirely convincing and Reed B t Ilieri ugton was anil excel lent tribal leader. Miss Olivia Rolfe and Miss Alice MacDougal were excellent in their small parts, and Wilhaip T. Kibbler, J Selby Hanna and W. S. Cooper were valuable membersof the cast. .

It is the general opinion tbat that this season's productions eas­ily equals anything that has been ever given iu the Forest Theatre and the Western Drama Society is highly commended for its efforts.

Fourth Installment Along the Shore.

After passing the red house a new order prevails. The dunes have diminished and nearly diB sapearred, while tne fields on the left, furnish flowers not found far­ther back on the road. There are a few scattered clumps of the beauti­ful greenish-whitish grey spires, which dominate all th e dunes, aud are just coming iD to blossom ; the Sage Brush, Artisema pycnocephaia. The plaut is more esily recognized from its color, than its unattractive flowers. As the leaves on the flowering rod, grow more scattered the stem discloses a delicate pink ish bloom under the grey. I t is found on sand-hills from Monterey, south.

Found all along the road and elsewhere, as well, >8 Old Man ; Wormwood; Artemisia Californica, another greyish bush, but wilh leaves more finely cut, and giving forth a fresh, bitter odor when crushed. The flowers are incon­spicuous.

On the left, is a large clump of Gum Plaut, o r Grindelia. The leaves are leathery, clasping the reddish stem, tha flowers like large yellow daisies, aud the multitude of cup-shaved buds, are filled to overflowing with white gum, which like icing. A preparation of the leaves and buds of one species is used externally as a remedy for Poison Oak poisoning.

Scattered rather abundantly on the left is the Owls’ Clover, Ortho­carpus, Figwort Family. There are several varieties, know n as Pink Paint Brush, Escobita (little whisk broom) and the ones, nearly white. Sheep Tails. The name “ Owl’s Clover’’ is undoubtedly derived from the resemblance of the flowers, to little owls. The densely-flowered spikes are from two to several inches long, and the flowers well repay examination. Pull oue from the stem ; the first envelope is a green ish bract, cleft into five lobes, tipped with white. Folding this back, a second similar envelope appears (the calyx) with four divisions, also tipped with white. Removing this we find the corolla, a very long slender tube, with a lower lip con­sisting of three sacs, and the upper or galea, slender aud curved, of a deep crimson. Some species have the whole inflorescence, yellow and pink, the tips of the bracts aud calyx, alone remaining white.

In these fields, are poppies, of course; the dandelions, big and little, gone to seed, with their white, fluffy globes, almost like flowers ; and here and there, on eitherjside,' bunches of pale green leaves, with dozens of lusty lavender daisies, rising from them. These ate the Sea A ster; Beach Asters : Erigeron glaucus.

On the ground, in the midst of the grasses and flowers, lie a few of the delicate white cups of Wild Morning Glory :Convolvuluslutcolus, with its turning stems and arrow- shaped leaves. I. A. J .

t ie m an y inventions, the benefits of w hich we enjo y today, w hich are the p rodu ct of his fertile brain. 'I he present generation is so ac- tustoined to these m odern conven­iences that some people do not realize th at a generation ago m any of these blessings w ere unk no w n and that they have been given to the w orld w ith in the span of one m an's life. I t is ve ry probable that m any people do not know the nam e of the m an w ho harnessed electricity and has made of it the obedient servant of m an.

M r. Ed iso n is great, not only because of h is inventions, b u t also

because he is above selfish and sordid m otives. H e w o rk s inces- sam ly— to perfect in ve n tio n after invention, not because of a desire for fame o r w ealth, but for the very jo y of conquering the hidden forces and of b rin g in g fo rth new things that w ill be of benefit to h um an ity. A t the present tim e, w hen nations are bending every energy and u tiliz in g every avenue in search of new inventio ns that w ill eclipse any of the death-deal­ing instrum en ts yet k now n, it is g ra tifyin g to note that M r.

in a recent in te rv ie w in the New Y o rk W o rld M r. Edison is Quoted as sa yin g : " O f coursescience can find m uch m ore effect­ive w ays of de stro ying life than hy a rtille ry and rifle fire, or the «se of high explosives. T h e pos­sibilities of ch e m istry and electric ­ity have h a rd ly yet been touched upon in m odern w arfa re. T h e y can do a lot be tter.”

O n being asked if he knew any­thing better and if he could in­vent som ething m ore deadly than gas bombs, Mt. Edison replied : "Y es, I could, but I can’t get m y­self to w o rk on such stuff as that. I don't w ant to destroy life. I w ant to m ake the w orld a be tter place to live in.

Intensive FarmingT h a t there has been a great

change in farm ing m ethods d u r­ing the past ten years, says the San Jose M e rcu ry -H e ra ld , is ap­parent to e veryo ne fa m ilia r w ith fa rm in g conditions. T h e m an ow n­ing a sm all fa rm has been com ing into his ow n and this can be traced largely to h is a b ility to get his crop q uick ly t,o the m arket. M u n icip a l E n g in e e rin g com m ents on th is :

" T h e ad ve nt of good roads has brought about another revo lutio n , that of intensive fa rm in g . T h e countries of the old w o rld have a lw ays regarded us as a c rim in a l­ly w asteful people, in th a t the product raised on 100 acres cf land in th is coun try w as often less than they produced or. ten acres. Good roads have change,! this condition. T h e A m e ric a n fa n n e r n o w finds that he w ill get a greate r re tu rn from one acre of land inte nsive ly cu ltivated than ten acres farm ed in the old slip­shod m ethods w ould heretofore produce. T h is intensive fa rm in g is the d ire c t result of good roads, for w he re the fa rm e r heretofore found It necessary to cultivate crops w h ic h m ade a large b u lk so that his infreque nt trip s to m ar­ket w ere profitable, he now finds that he can take a sm all load to the consum er as often as he de­sires.

Prayer of the KnockerO ccasionally one happens to

find an appealing story in an ex­change, such, for instance, th is one m a y seem to be to m a n y read­ers. I t is related th a t a good old deacon at N e w ville , Pa., offered the fo llo w in g p ra y e r:
