Leave your hopes for the future quite

A Beautiful Greek
Theatre Described
In tho following letter written to a
friend In Chickasha Miss Olive Mc-
Cllntic most beautifully and Impres-
sively describes the Greek theater lo-
cated in Berkeley Cal. and the rare
pleasure which she experienced there.
This Greek theater is famous the
country over and is the joy and pride
of all Californians. Miss McClintic's
letter will be read with keen Interest
and enjoyment by people who have
not visited this wonderful temple of
music as well as those who have seen
and enjoyed for themselves.
At the Greek Theater.
"When music heavenly maid! was
young.
While yet in Early Greece she sung
The Passions oft to hear her spell
Thronged rapt around her magic
cell"
It is Sunday evening in Berkeley. We
have just had a most unique experi-
enco. "An Hour of Music lu the Greek
Theater" was the announcement but
we were totally unprepared for the
enthusiastic crowds which "thronged
rapt to hear" and the colossal and
classic beauty of the setting.
This Greek theater Is inarvelously
interesting to the visitor. Imagine a
structure embodying as it does all ot
the classic essentials of the old Attic
theaters located on the slope of a
hill wUh Its auditorium scooped out
of the hillside and true to the orig-
inal Greek meaning of the word "a
place for seeing." The seats for the
audience are arranged hi concentric
tiers rising like steps one above the
other resting on the cavity excavated
In the hillside. About half way up tlia
slope is an encircling passage and
then additional rows of seats which in
classic days were set apart for thi?
women and nowadays would be term-
ed the peanut gallery At the highest
level behind the top row of scuts runs
h colunade front which float various
tri color pennants in a combination of
true Oriental color and real college
style. The seating capacity is I0(m0
and every seat is a good one. Thu
theater Is uncovered and all the busi-
ness of the stage Is performed In the
open air.
The Greek theater Is of semi-circular
form on one side and square on
the other. It Is constructed entirely
of concrete. The space within the
semi-circle Is allotted to the specta-
tors. The square part in front con-
tains the stage running along its full
length and In the interval between is
the orchestra. At . the back of the
stage is a lofty wall which readies to
the level of the colonnade behind the
highest row of seats. Tiiis wall which
in reality Is a Bounding board that
gives the Greek theater its marvelous
acoustic properties also forms a back
ground of singular beauty. It is dec-
orated with columns and entablatures
forming an architectural facade which
represents a palace or temple before
which the action of the. scene takes
place. On either siue of the stage are
entrances hung -with rich oriental
draperies and in the center is a bold
marble tablet with the Inscription:
"The Greek Theater a Gift or William
Randolph Hearst."
However this superb structure does
not owe its charm solely to the fact
of Us bfiiig an exact reproduction of
Ihn theaters of the ancients. The rare
ami significant beauty of its surround-
ings must be taken into account by
one attempting an appreciation of tne
Greek theater.
In the first place Berkeley is the
most charming of coast ciliesa modern
Athens In many respects then the uni-
versity situated between the city aud
the hills with Its old old live oaks and
babbling fern-grown brook is easily
our most Hellenic Institution and fin-
ally the Greek theater let Into the
hillside above is a veritable Dionysiac
on a more modern Acropolis. Around
it is the true Greek grove above la
the essential cloudless sky and be
yond through the tree tops Is the blue
blue sea.
This then was the famous Greek
theater as we found It after toiling up
the almost too steep hill and enter-
one of Its many ivy grown portals.
The seats were already filling and we
found our way to a convenient corner
not far from ths front for wo had our
misgivings about those too removed
from the stage. How could music be
heard in the open air any way? Wait
and see. We were too engrossed
watching the assembling crowd to
speculate about acoustics or any ether
law of physics. Where did all those'
people come from? Berkeley thougn
advertised as a City of 50000 had Im-
pressed us as a comparatively quiet
learned stay-at-home old community.
Not so! Now we saw it flocking oy
hundreds to this weekly Sunday after-
noou "Hour of Music". Truly music
hath charms not only to soothe the
savage but the sage as well.
In a remarkably short time tiie
building was perhaps two thirds filled.
Then from tho curtains on either side
appeared the musicians. A deep hush
akin to reverence fell on the assem-
blage. The conductor mounted sis
stand raised his baton aud gave Uet
signal for the first note! Crash! i
can nevrc forget the moment that fol-
lowed. The sound was overpowering.
Doubtless we were listening too in-
tently. At any rate we had expected
to bearely hear and we were sub-
merged with sound! Follow hie that
first wild burst which had been Hom-
ing if not Htartling in effect we grad-
ually adapted ourselves to the ttnfX-
pected pleasure of perfect audition.
Though fully 50 feet away every note
every accent every intonation came
as clear and with as perfect ease as
in the most modern of theaters.
It was interesting to observe the
effect of the various selections on the
vast assemblage. Truly music is the
unicversal language for there in that
cosmopolitan thrciig so characteris-
tic of the Pueis'ic coast cities we saw
student and profe-.sor easterner and
westerner ctdestlul and African o!d
and young whose rapt faces showed
that
"Bv turns thev fell the jlnin ir.inl
Disturbed delighted ra'sed refined."
As the program drew on toward its
conclusion tho music bocauw tor
Impressive the stillness more . pro-
nounced. More thau once. I found my-
self glancing around with surprise to
find others than myself in the great
Greek temple of music. It gives one
this lmprc-Bflion indefinable yet un-
mistakable the impression of being
there alone with the sole soughing of
the breeze in the tall Eucalyptus trees
and the sinking of the sun behind 1 lie
western facade. One almost expects
to look up and Instead of the director
and his musicians to see Apollo and
his music diisoourshig sweet music in
the Greek theater.
Not until we came down the wood-
ed hillside faintly chequered with tie-
parting sunbeams and met the clank
and roar of tl: cars did this singular
spell uuweav itself and we said:
-JUT
"Gone are the glorious GrccHs of old
Glorious in mien and mind;
Their bones are mingled with tha
mould
Their dust is on the wind;
The forms they hewed from living
stone
Survive the waste of years alone
And scattered with their ashes snow
What greatness perished long ago."
