account of what was undertaken. The hymn to Apollo is not Homeric, nor are the first and second numbers. The first was inserted for obvious reasons and the second to make a coherent story out of the pictures. The various encores were answered by shifting the scenes slightly, so as to present other moments in the action upon the platform at the time. Some of them were, indeed, quite as effective as the original number. If any regret was felt over the whole matter, it was that circumstances prevented the appearance of other and equally important scenes. The effect of the presentation has been many times heard from the lips of people who were in the audience. It was a distinctly aesthetic one, filling the eye for a time with noble images, and the mind with suggestions of a splendid past. Whether the form of the poses was more advantageous for this end than living pictures would have been, cannot be said. But to have before one ' s mind for an hour representations of a highly artistic type of men and movements in a great drama of the world ' s history, in which the elemental passions of life were so powerfully depicted, constitutes an epoch in the life of anyone. Not only was a new world opened to the gaze of the people present, but even one hour of contemplation of it secures for one a better appreciation of noble things and makes lesser ones assume their right relation thereafter. It was a distinct education upon itsthetic, spiritual lines. The views given below can be traced by referring to the programme.
