The Electric Light is Responsible
for Many Innovations.
The introduction of electrie light
was, -of course, responsible for greater
innovations in the art ot stage decor-
ation than, any other one thing. it
was now possible to light lip equal y
welt auy portion of the stage, and so
the "apron" was dispensed with and
the picture frame proscenium intro-
duced.
The cry for realism which Tebenat
dramas had aroused was now taken
up by the scene builders with eathus-
iastic vigor ,and "nature" was repro-
testi° vigor, and material detail. "We,
must show life exactly as it ie," be-
came their motto.
These changes naturally also had
an effect upon the actor e themselves
and upon what they. said. Fortherly
the actors were continually conscious
of the presenee of the audience, and
to a considerable degree addressed it
directly. Now they could interpret
the story on the stage, entirety ignor-
ing, apparently, the presence Of the
audience.
This change in the conception of
the play as a whole, as being made up
not alone of dialogue and recitatioh,
but also of Emden and pictorial re-
presentation, has had a very farreach
ing effect on our present day -concep-
tion of the drama.

warmed water was given. At noon
the water was renewed and all the
