Sunday, September 30, Suiuliiy
School group No. 2 hold a very prof.
itnblo and spiritual meeting at the
Agato schoolhotise. Tho forenoon
was devoted to the regular Sunday
school session, superintended by the
Sunday school missionary, Mr. Grif
fin. The congregation was divided
into six classes, taught by teachers,
who not only made the lessons inter
esting, but instructive. Many char
acter lessons of the past quarter
were brought out and instilled into
tho hearts of young and old alike.
After Sunday school a sumptuous
luncheon was served cuffetoriii style.
The ladies of Agato deserve much
credit for their systematic arrange
ment of everything. The afternoon
session was given over to three
consecrated workers Hev. Still
of Trail, Rev. Handn. of Cen
tral Point and Mr. Stine of Med
i'ord. The music of the day was
furnished by members of the Lone
Pine school, a duet by two little girls,
t'solo by Mrs. Moore and a quartet
y the Misses Delia, Mabel, Klhel
and Myrtle llillis. The result of the
day was several conversions. The
principal object of these group gath
erings is the salvation of souls. Ev
ery one is welcome to come and par
take of the spiritual feast.

Address all communications to
Jeunessc Butler, 8 South' Orange
street. Telephone 3,"3-K.
Five or six people sat in n row
of chairs in front of the curtain,
singing, talking, gesticulating (of
course), und the orchestra was play
ing at the Page theater Thursday af
ternoon. A rehearsal of "Sludame
Butterfly" was in progress.
A few minutes nfter my entrance
the principals (for such they
were) rose and were joined by the
members of the chorus. A womnn
standing in the center of the group
almost immediately attracted my at
tention. With her voieef No, not
just at first. By Hie sweetness of
her manner toward those around her.
One felt instintivelv here was some
one the company loved and someone
who felt most kindly toward them.
There was no surprise when the in
troduction to Ester Ferrabini took
plueo.
The intuitive impression proved
quite correct. The public has its
chance to see und judge the artist at
work. The interviewer gives the pub
lie a peep behind the scenes nt the
real man or woman. Among the
thought flashes received as Signora
Ferrabini acknowledged the intro
duction in excellent English, were,
"Why doesn't she visit her photo
grapher again; those advertisement
pictures don't begin to do her justice .
the "movies" wouldn't do a thing with
those eyes; how becomingly she
dresses for the street nn exception
among the professionals." Signora
Ferrabini is beautiful off as well as
on the stage, where her facial work
is particularly effective. One does
forget tho artist in the pleasure of
meeting and knowing the woman. Her
small daughter, a curly-haired child
of six, and her nurse travel constant
ly with Madame Ferrabini. "I could
not go without her," says the mother.
"I enjoy playing to American audi
ences, especially in the west," says
the pioneer. "My home is in Italy,
where 1 have a villa and always
spent my summers but now the
war," nys the womnn-putriot of n
beloved "ain eountrec."
"I had never seen 'Carmen' until
after I sang it," says the nrtist.
"Slimy times since, of course, but my
own conception and portrayal re
mains the same, with a little added
finesse, as the night of my debut, 1
enjoy the modern operas. "Sladame
Butterfly," "Tosea," "Slanon" arc
some of my favorites. I have sung
in America for ten years. With the
Lomburdi company for some time.
They like my work in Now York."
Here Sladame Ferrabini oocned the
woman's always present "treasure
chest," "partner in crime" to the
small boy's pocket, receptacle of all
manner of things wondrous and
strange a handbag nnd drew forth
without very much searching, real
ly a notice from the New York Sun.
Eagerly I took it. "Here is where
I get a real schoop" this last said
silently. "Oh, I can't let you keep it
that is for my scrap book. But
"anyhow," it was not necessary to
read much lo discover they did "like
me in New York."
There was only time for a few
minutes' chat then anil Inter in the
evening behind dressing-room doors,
but the woman as well as the nrtist
loaves an unforgettable impression.
The pure, rich tones, absolutely cor
rectly placed, Ihe exquisite French
diction having learned it in French,
Ferrabini continues singing the role
so; the original conception, arc per
haps the most noticc.-thic items. She
is a Prussian general a scheming,
calculating Carmen, complete mis
tress of the situation at all times, a
motive behind every word, every net.
"There's a reason." we might say. A
vampire? Naturally. Ferrabini's
portrayal shows the clever mind
using all forces for the consummation
desired. And, Oh, that effortless vo
calization and beautiful, glorious
voice !

Because if it's not, there's a lady
coming to these states who'll mako
them shiuo again.
She's Tortnla do Valencia, Span
ish dancer of Moorish ancestry. Sho
once wore the historic pearls of
Cntherine the Great, nt command of
the czar of Russia. For the czar
was n superstitious czar, nnd he took
as gospel truth the story that Tor
tola was one of those gifted orient
als who, by wearing tarnished enr!s,
could return their lost luster from
her vibrant skin.
Whether the Russian roynl heir
looms ever regained any luster, tho
cables no'er have told. Hut Tortolu
left Russia without any attempts on
her life, so it's safu to say the czar
was satisfied.
In Spain her fame as nn orientni
dancer led Alfonso lo command her
appearance nt the Madrid court. Af
ter that she danced in all capitals of
Europe. She's said to trail a string
of broken hearts as long as Cjby
Deslys'.

LITTLE THEATER
E
There will be K'vetl nt St. Mark's
hall on Friday evening, October 19,
at a quarter past eight o'clock, three
one-act plays, under tho direction ot
the amateur play committee of the
Drama league, Medford center. The
plays to be staged are:
"The Christmas Present," by Ar
thur Schnilzler. Cast: Miss Louise
liiirke nnd Donald Lewis.
''The Stranger," by August Rtrind
bcrg. Cast : Mrs. A. Conro Kiero,
Mrs. Donald Clark, Miss Esther War
ner. "Mrs. Tat and tho Law," by Mary
Aldis. Cast: Mrs. Frank Owen, Mrs.
(Icorge Andrews, Paul Janney, U. C,
Goodman, John Hamill.
In tho spring of this year the am
ateur play committee gave its initial
production nt St. Mark's hajl before
a good-sized audience, who seemed
verv nonrccialive of the Dcrformnnee.
The, object, of tho eommitteo is to
produce plays of literary worth and
yet of sufficient humor and lightness
to appeal to an audience largo
enough to fill St. Murk's hull several
times during the winter. This littlo
theater movement first started in tho
lnrger cities and is spreading in pop
ularity and numbers all over tho
country. It should bo particularly
enjoyed in places tho size of Med
ford, where so few legitimate nttrae
tions arc booked.
Tho amateur play committee of Uio
Drama League, Medford center, bus
its own scenery of distinctly artistic
value, and its own lighting effects,
which would not do shame to a pro
fessionul singe.' It hope to enlarge
and improve this equipment with each
production given, if sufficient inter
est is shown in the plnys. The plnys
given lust yenr proved that Medford
possesses plenty of nmateur talent,
and the desire of the eommitteo is to
acquire new talent in each produc
tion, so that it may eventually havo
well I rained amateurs that can bo
called upon to give to the public more
ambitious anil artistic performances
froiii time to time.
