REHEARSAL OP "ESTHER"
Martin E. Robinson, of Chicago, Is
Here to Conduct a Production of
This Sacred Opera.
Mr Martin E. Robinson, ai rived from
Portland Tuesday and conducted the
first rehearsal of Esther the Beautiful
Queen which will be given in the opera
house in about two week under the au
spices and for the benefit of the young
peoples societies of the M. E. and Con
gregational churches. No musical event
ha ever attracted so nnvh attention or
awakened so much interest among the
people of Ilillsboro as the coming pro
duction of this the most beautiful of all
the light sacred 0era.
The soloists will lie selected from a
mong the best singers of the city and
the entire cast and chorus will be dress
ed in costume representing the time
and fashion of the court of the great
King Xerxes All the members are
working enthusiastically under the un
tiring direction of Mr. Rqhinson, who
has recently staged and conducted this
and other productions in the principal
cities of Washington and Oregon, and it
ia now stated as an assured (act that Es
ther will be given on a more magnificent
scale and with stronger musical efforts
than has ever lieen heard in this city,
while the costumes and stage picture
will represent scenes of Oriental grand
eur never before attempted at any ama
teur performance here.
The Story of Esther is one of unusual
interest and tells of the elevation of the
throne of the greatest Persian monarch,
an obscure but beautiful Jewess girl, the
overthrow of Hainan's scheme for the
destruction of all the Jews in the empire,
and Haitian' own ignominious death.
The scene I laid in Shashan at the court
of Xerxes. The king had made a great
feast and bidden all the lords to be pres
ent at the crowning of the beautiful Es
ther. We are told of the power of the
prime minister, Hainan, of his wound
ed pride at the refussl of Morderai to
bow down to hi in and hi plot to lie re
venged by exterminating the Jew. He
secured a decree to this end but the wari
ness of Morderai and the influence of
Esther over the king were used to secure
counter legislation w hereby the evil ef
fects of the irri vocable decree were avert
ed. The Oriental despot now changes
his mind ami orders hi favorite adviser
to lie impaled upon the gallows fifty cu
bit hign which he had himself prepared
for Morderai. The story chaw with the
appointment of a national festivity to
commemorate the deliverance of the

Jews and the advancement of Mordecai
to Hainan' place of power. Thi festi
val is known as the "Feast of Purim"
and I celebrated yearly to thi day by
Jew all over the world.
Musically, Esther ia not a light musi
cal skit, as is commonly suppoxed, but In
point of music and action is virtually an
opera, there being no spoken word from
start to finish.
The Oregonian issued the morning
following the first evenings presentation
of Queen Esther at the Marquam Urand
under the direction of Mr. Robinson
said ''A bibical story of intense relig
ious interest, depicting love, hatred, op
pression and the retribution was unfold
ed last night. There were many beauti
ful stage costumes and the chorus sing
ing wa distinguished by its uniform
good quality. Bitter chorus work w ith
plenty of volume and strength ha not
been heard in and around Portland this
season. The scarf dance of the maidens
was one of the really bright and pleasing
event of the opera.
Ilillsboro people should not miss this
event to be given in the opera house in
aliout two weeks.
