These reappear In Mrgll with a louder chorus of lamentation, a sharper distinction of penal and happy region in tho underworld. Pante's Inferno in all a place of torment. not a cold obscurity In which the "nations rt the dead" are together In hungry, phortly Impotence; the torments are punishments affixed to sins.

In the modern vision this idea of something Imposed or added by way of penalty to a passion slips way, leaving the torment present and Inherent of desire unappeasod And unsuitable. "We arc come to the placo of which I told thee, where thott shalt see the dolorous people who novo lost the good that lies in reason." The vision of passion nnd tormented bodies had received plastic shape twice from Michelangelo, once in the traditional subject of the "Last Judgment," a second time In the invention of the Medici chapel. From these, the painting nnd the sculptures, the elements seem to have come to llodln for his remaking of Dante's Hell, the writhing chains of humanity; but the event loses Its futurity and legal character, the presiding genius his personal and historical character. No "unknown God or unachieved desire" appears to bless or damn his votaries, mortal hangs over the unending welter, burdened and haunted by such formidablo trains as have sounded in modern verse, in modern muslo more infallibly. (For example take Swinbumo's chant on the death of Baudelaire.

"Vedl Tristano," says Dante, or the first movement of l.lszt's Dante symphony.) In these terrifying gates, Ghiberti A ribuurt, Baudelaire is not forgotten. Truly l'lowers of Evil are hsre. A monument begun later, and sooner finished, the "Bourgeois de Calais," illustrates Rodin's architectural sense working within the limits of tho human structure, the ingenuity by which he contrives enveloping lines for his composition out of the figures themselves as art incident of expressive action. It has been said the "Burghers of Calais is a group of single figures, possessing no unity of design, or at best affording only a single point of viow. Those who say so have never examined it with attention.

The way In which these figures move among themselves, as the spectator walks round, so as to produce from every fresh angle sweeping, commanding lines, each of them thus playing a dozen parts at once, is surely one of the most astound ing feats of the genius of design. Notli ing in the history of art is exactly com parable with it. What Donatello could do with a group of children, close wreathed together in a relief, presenting a single aspect, is here carried out with detached, highly individualized figures like portraits in the round. It is a degree of de-sicn clean beyond the conception of ordinary powers. In the run of light on the flesh and draporics of theso figures Rodin attained more nearly than before his ideal of a modelling that should not he dry or tight but have some equivalent for the vivacity of life.

In the "Balzac" he came closer still, though for the head he was forced to work without the living model, lie fashioned a block, simple at a distance as a menhir, yet even at a distance impressive In its slow turning upward surge: "An old man coroeth up, nnd he is covered with a mantle. As you draw nearer the defiant head with a lion's mane shines out, and brows terribly bent. Go round it and the simple seerrlng block lives and moves. It affrighted the committee that commissioned it, as did Samuel's apparition his disturbers. They had proposed perhaps to have no more than the marble likeness of a professional writer in hat and trousers, but by some mistake had knocked at the wizard's door, the one artist who has a familiar, a commerce with shadows and terrors, who can cast a spell and bring up spirits, who models the folds of a dressing gown, the hollows of a mask and a daamon.

Rodin's "Balzac" is his Ninth Symphony as the "Gates of Hell" Is his Ring and "Tristan and Isolde In one vast cauldron of art bubbling with blackwrath, sorrow, lasciviousness and the magic of hopeless love and hopeless aspirations; yet the note of sublimity dominates all. In addition to the authorities above quoted, Brownell, Henley and MacColl, the reader is recommended to consult the "Life of Rodin" by Frderick Lawton. for biographical details and methods of workmanship. rlTERS TO HESIGX PRESSES.

IX Ktolution of the I'sitoral Play Here l.ann HhsNrnpeare at the Mummer Hrsorts-Nrw York a a Nource at Dramatic Nuptilj The Foreign Play. The so-called summer open air theatres havo so increased In Germany as to become a source of inspiration to the oomio Journalist. "No Open Air Theatre Here" has been suggested as a legend to be hung on the railroad stations in order that travellers seeking a summer lodging may know how to escape this artlstlo nulsanoe.

They are more numerous In France than they were, although the Idea has not taken root so generally as In Germany, where some of these establishments are 1 i Jl, i CV pp. pr speolac and employing actors of reputation. That at llertensteln Is tt.t niiunii, HIVIIUUU imvj vaidn im mi. parts of the country and several are within reach of Berlin. The indefatigable Ben Greet and hisj actors as well as the Coburn Flayers seem to monopolize euch interest here.

Tho Coburn Players have again been on tho campus at Columbia during tho past week and ono novelty of their season was tho production of "Macbeth." which Is sold to have escaped so far the attention of all entrepreneurs of the pastoral play if Georgetto Leblano, who gave it last summer at a Belgian castle with the spectators docilely following the actors about the building, bo excepted. There Is no sign, however, that tho open air theatro Idea will be widely popular in this country. It wai long after England had been sending its players through tho country to act Shakeepearo that there were a few out of door productions of "As You Like It" hero. They woro usually organized by a man- r.gor anxious to make uso of tho unprofit able summer hours and in connection with some hotel proprietor he engaged two or three well known actors who happened to bo as anxious as he to employ their talents in summer, and on the hotel lawn the play was given unless It happened to rain, when by special arrangement carefully explained In tho programme, the Forest of Arden in its more usual canvas form was transferred to tho dining room. When Ben Greet brought his "Everyman forces to this country they had a monopoly of the field until tho Coburn Players appeared.

Tho length of time it has taken these two organizations to come into existence, even with the addition of the pan-toralmists who were seen for the first time this year, does not show any great Interest in out of door theatricals on the part of Americans who are still more accustomed to take their drama under cover. The pageant, seems much more in accordance with the American and Indeed with the Anglo-Saxon mind, for it is much more likely to take a permanent place in the summer amusements of a public that gets all the drama it Is likely to want during the winter. The pageant possesses further the interest of historic association with the spot on which It Is held. That seems art additional clement or appropriateness and indeed supplies about all the excuse that seems to exist for dramatic repre- of this character. It may bo 'tna, ft community which will never seo "As You Like It" except in pastoral fashion had much lietter have it ucted in tho open than do without it all to- cether.

Tho same if. true of the othor nlavs in the open air repertoire. It is indeed the difficulty of finding works nnnroDriate to such representation that limits the artistic spnere oi xne outuoor theatres. The present tendency in Germany is to enlarge the repertoire of these Institutions until they include even modern dramas such as the exquisite "The Sunken Bell" of llauptmann. Whatever the play selected may be.

however, it is the incongruity of the media that, really seems to work tho great injury to tho artistic result. If the plays bo given in the daylight there is no pos-siblo illusion in the sight of the wigs and costumes, while the masks of the actors are irreconcilably false to tho nature of tho trees or other natural green that may make up the scenery. At night It is altogether impossible to create any impression of daylight. The illumination of tho calcium contrasts with Inky darkness. No suggestion of daylight is then possible In an open space.

It is this same striking difference in the actors and their surroundings that creates tho feeling of artistic Incongruity Inseparable from an open air play. There is none of these objections to a pageant which makes less pretence to holding tho mirror up to nature and is usually organized in celebration of some event connected with the spot on which It is held. There the masses of people who take port divert attention from the details that usually jar the sensibilities of the spectator at a pastoral performance. Then there la much more action of a less Intellectual kind than a play prcsonts. for the pageant bears to it the sime relation that a spectacular production does to adrama.

And there are many tacit allowances mode for the spectacle whlck might destroy all the illusion of a drama. In France It Is usually some elaborate musical spectacle, which Is acted in BczlireB or some of the old arenas, and no less musician than Salnt-Saiins has written the for them. Sometimes they survive to be added to the repertoire or the Opera as a species or artistic canonization. The festival at Bordeaux fa much more similar to a pageant, since it commemorates the annual vintage. Ono enterprising manager last year produced "Tannhlluser'inanoutof door theatre in north Germany and he plan was described as successful, although it is not easy to understand how music In such an uncoti-flned area the audionco also sat in tho open-could havo been effective.

That is at least ono form or tho open air representation not likely to travel to the indifferent United States. It Is of course to tho Now York theatres that tho cities look tor tho be6t or their dramatic supply. Occasional productions may originate In this large town or thut, but it is not until they havo been seen in Now York that they may bo carried with tho maximum success through the different parts or tho country. Tho New York successes or ono season ure the utipply of the country during tho following year. This supply has fallen rar below tho average through tho unrortunato season In the local theatres.

Or musical plays thcro Is a sufficient output. The dramatic supply however, limited. If "The Concert," "Excuse Me," "The Deep Purple," "(Jet-Rlch-Qulok Wallingford," Mrs. 1'lsko In "Mrs. Bumsted-Iigh," Maude Adams In "Chantaolar," "Baby Mine," Gambler," "ICobody's Widow," "As Man Thinks." and "Everywoman" bo nxooptcd them ure no new dramas worth starting to travel over the country ne.tt year.

What the early dramatic season may bring forth has its bearing on the question, although It Is really tho New York supply during the seoond year that counts for the cities of tho country. it is Interesting to note that all of these plays are, with two exceptions, of native authorship. The success of "Chantecler, whatever It may bo, depends altogother on the great popularity of Miss Adams. Of the number of Krenoh successes that found their way to our own stage not one has survived from the stereotyped "Con Co. to the sorrows of "The Foolish Virgin." To omphasizo tho demand of American audiences for plays of their own llfo is of course to repeat what Is now a vory old story But its obvious lewon never had greater force than it from nf nm RQ Qn th() rond one 8lngIe instance of a comedy of foreign origin that will bo added to this list, and the fact that it was ono of the very most successful may be attributed in some degree to its adaptation to our own conditions.

"The Concert in tho form that David Bolasco acted it here retained only Its Inerradicable evidences of European authorship. There were certain Internal characteristics that woro not to bo eliminated. But In every superllcial trait tho play was sufficiently American. It took some stretch of the probabilities to imagine Aran on Central Park West, but to David Bolasco nothing In tho theatre seems impossible, so tho right oTcct was created. No othor country unless It be England leans so heavily on tho foreign market as Now York.

It is quite true that Vienna nnd Berlin, and to less degree the provincial cities, inako the acquaintance of the belt works of tho Paris theatre. The comedies of a pitjuunt typo are often ii'ipted to Gorman conditions and the vnllent brand of filename goods that tho Gerii.ausareman'ifacturing Is not infre quently founded on French material. In auv case the French play in Germany Is inot, attended with such risk as Is its pro ductlon here. Any now play given nt a theatre of the first class in New lork must inevitably in volve an expense that would support a playhouse In Vienna or Berlin Tor hair tho season, Hero a separate company must bo engaged, usually there is new scenery nnd tho play must have at least a prosperous run of a month or two in this city to mako any profit possible. Of re cent seasons these plays have met with such swift rejection, that there has been no possible escape from heavy loss.

How differ out is the experiment in Germany with such a product of the contempora neous French theatre as "La Femme Nuo" or "Le Dansnur Inconnu Either of these dramas is put on as a feature of the repertoire. It if draws for three or four weeks with a performance two or three times a week it has enabled the manager to escape without loss and It may be that there is some degree of profit in such an enterprise. If the play turns out to be a great success, so much greater is the profit to him than to his American colleague, who is underso much heavier expense in advance. If it is such a com plete failure as "Le Dan sour Inconnu was in Berlin, for Instance, nnd "La Vierge Folic" In Vienna, and can only bo put in the bill a tew times, that does not involvo any such loss as must rail on the American manager who has to organize a special company and get his theatre for such an experiment It takes two mouths or success for the New York malinger to pay tho expenses of his experiment How many plays of French origin in recent years have known two months of largo houses? To exploit such plays is of course another reason why New York should havo a repertoire theatre, for only tho managers should deplore the produc lion here or th masterpieces or tho con-tempory stage in Europo. Reporters or the affairs or tho theatre always find interest in drama any kind.

This is their consolation hero for their inability to describe the impressions of their souls among masterpieces Whatever appeal MM. Batnille, Iavodan nnd tho rest of their contemporaries may mnko to the public, they are always suggestive to their commentators, and such material is often more inspiring than somo play that meets much more fully with general approval. With a repertoire compuny thero might be tho opportunity to produce foreign works capably without the great expense that attaches now to tho specially organized company and specially en gaged theatre aim with some or the certainty that thero would only be moderate loss that tho foreign impresarios now feel. The question of tho rights to these pieces is not likely to bo so complicated in the future. There will bo little enough demand for them for some time to come.

"La Femme haB alone among serious French importations brought success to its manager during recent soasons, Tho repertoire theatre is no less, interesting and baffling as a reality in In this city because it happens To be an old question. Whatever else it may be, if such 'an institution ever comes into existence it should be unpretentious save as to Its artlstio purposes. A theatre devoted to the best intorests or the drama and a temple or weolth and fashion are by no means tlje same, So if tho repertoire playhouse should over return to this city and such an event would bo as remarkablo a reaction as one could well contomplate its promoters had bottor emphazise its artlstio intentions to the prejudice or any others.
