The most elaborate musical en tertainment ever attempted by our local singers is the production of Queen Esther, to be given at the Masonic Opera Hall next week for the benefit of the schools. The director, Mr. Martin E. Rob inson, of Chicago, has given this, and other operas, in all the princi pal cities of Oregon and Washing ton during the past four years and the press have invariably spoken of his work in the highest terms of praise. He furnishes the costumes for the entire caste and chorus, and every member of the company will be clad in appropriate costume to represent the characters and lime of the greatest monarch history has known. The store of Queen Esther is intensely interesting and especi ally adopted to musical and dram atic setting. About 500 years before Christ, Xerxes, the reigning monarch of Persia, caused all the beautiful maidens of his realm to b« brought before him that he might choose the most beautiful from among them to be his queen. The choice fell on Esther, a cous in of Mordecai, a Jew, who was one o f the petty officers in the King s household, and who had reared Esther as his own daughter, but had kept her nationality a seoret The prime minister of tne realm at this time was Haman, an Agagite, and a deadly enemy of the Jews, and because Mordecai refused to bow down before him and pay him the same amount of homage that all the pers’ans wont to do at his every appearance. Haman conceived the idea of having the entire Jewish annihilated. With this end in view he procured a decree from the king that on a certain day all the Jews in the kingdom were to he put to death and their property confiscated by Haman. When Mordecai heard of the daughter to his race he urged the Queen to go before the king to make supplication and save her peo ple. Owing to a law of the Medee and P«rsians that none might enter before the king without having been called, Esther was loth to do as Mordecai bid her, but finally she consented to do so and was gra ciously received. When the king asked her what was her tetition,. she asked that the king and Haman come to a banquet she had prepared for them. The following day when they met at the queen’s banquet, the king asked Esther what was her petition, and said it would be granted “ to the half o f the kingdom,” whereupon Es ther denounced Haman as the ene my of her race and told of his con spiracy to destroy all the Jews. Upon hearing of Hainan's perfidy, the king ordered his guards to take Haman out and hang him upon the gallows he had caused to be erected for Mordecai, and Mordecai was ad vanced to the position of chief coun sellor to the king. This is the story to be told in song and action at the Masonic Op era House next week by about 65 of the singers o f the city, and the event will be the greatest musical enter tainment ever attempted here.
