MAUDE ADAMS
AS JOAN OF ARC.
Details of Her Flay Flawed For
Harvard .Stadium.
A&TAIVIAZIN3 BATTLE SCEflE.
With Lead Soldiers and Model of the
. Stadium Actress Works Out Evolu
tions of the Conflict Thirteen Hun
dred Persons to Participate.
.Ten thousand persons are expected
to witness Maude Adams' first appear
ance as Joan of Arc in the Harvard
stadium at" Cambridge, Mass., on the
evening of June 22. Tbe "bowl" of
the stadium will, be used for seating
purposes, and all that portion of the
fieid and a large section of the grid
iron that face the "bowl" will be used
for the stage. 'The actors will tread
upon turf. A special scenic setting
adaptable . to the stadium is being
built. . In the matter of costumes, of
which there are more than 1,300, Miss
Adams has the co-operation of John
Alexander, the artist.
One' thousand supernumeraries will
be employed by Miss Adams. These
will be in charge of fifty super cap
tains, and to dress them there will be
a small host of armorers, costume
masters, wardrobe masters, etc. Every
essential down to a pin necessary for
the costuming of this horde will be
transplanted to the stadium. In addi
tion Miss Adani3' master electrician
will install a complete electrical plant
in the stadium sufficient to furnish ev
ery requisite of lighting known to the
modern theater, only on a scale vastly
larger than my hitherto contemplated
in America. .
The qualities of simplicity and gran
deur that mark the Passion play at
Oberammergau will also characterize
the performance of "Joan of Arc" by
Miss Adams and her company. An
English version of Schiller's "Jung
frau von Orleans" will be used. The
incidental music will be taken In most
part from Beethoven's "Eroica" sym
phony. To marshal the large force of auxil
iaries and to direct the performance
there will be employed ten stage man
agers and a chief manager, and over all
these a stage director. The auxiliaries
have been separated in groups suffi
ciently small for individual coaching
and drilling, yet large enough to em
phasize their relation to the whole.
The actors will get their entrance cues
by means of signals on varicolored in
candescent lamps, and the movements
of the mass of supernumeraries will
be governed in the same way. -"
Every afternoon in the library of her
New York house Miss Maude Adams
resolves herself into a board of strat
egy.: 'and with a model of the Harvard
stadium before her she devotes hours
to planning the battle scene in "Joan
of Arc" as she will produce the - play
on June 22. She was busy there the
mother day with companies and battal
; ions of lead soldiers, cavalry and in
fantry, moving them about, arranging
the entrances and the exits and the
various and intricate evolutions that
will be followed exactly in the per
formance. : Both the model and the
soldiers were made exactly to scale,
and the practiced eyes of "General"
Adams are able ,to see just how it
will appear when the Harvard stadi
um, scene of great football battles that
are very real,, is turned into a mock
theater of war as in the days of Joan
of Arc.
After Miss Adams closes her season
at the Empire theater in New York she
will go to ' Boston with her entire
forces company, stage managers and
supernumeraries for actual rehearsals
on the grassy stage of the stadium.
Thirteen hundred persons will partici
pate. Three complete rehearsals de
voted to actual tactical cavalry ma
neuvers will be held under the direc
tion of Captain Shelburne' of Battery
A, Massachusetts volunteer militia,
composed of Harvard graduates, who
have volunteered for the performance.
The elaborate nature of the produc
tion is shown by the fact that the bat
tle scene alone will last nearly half an
hour. To give complete verisimilitude
its; martial tableaux will be copied
from paintiags by Boutet de Monvel.
The scene at the climax will be. based
on r Meissonier's canvas "1807,'' but
with Joan instead of Napoleon mount
ed upon a white horse amid charging
cavalry. The brow of the hill will be
on the spectators' left, and Miss Ad
ams as Joan will overlook the conflict
ing, armies on the plain below.
For the perfection of this highly
elaborate scene a model of the stadi
um's stage 'with its complete settings
has been made by John W. Alexander.
The single performance of "Joan of
Are" will be given for the benefit of
the Germanic museum and under the
auspices of the German department of
the university. The use of the stadi
um was granted some months ago to
Miss Adams by the president and fel
lows of Harvard college.
