It was thought that the problems there might not be the same as those which confront the ^workers in the other north shore- towns.

Monday afternoon Miss Elizabeth Hunt gave the third of her series ot lectures under~~the auspices ""oT~Oie Drama club at the Evanston library. The two previous lectures dealt with comedy plays, _nanaely, "His House in Order" and "The LiariT"^Tho third lecture was an analysis of the Span- ish tragedy, "The Great Galeota," by Echegaray. Miss Hunt said "It Is not the ending of a play that makes tragedy, but In the ways the events of plots are observed." The same ma- terial may be used but treated in such different ways as to produce tragedy, comedy or farce. The theme of "The Great Galeoto" is gossip--a subject much used in comedy and farce, but not one to be readily connected with tragedy--yet in thi3 play the writer has used idle, non-malicioiu gossip about which; to weave a tragedy. Characters" Differ ~ Almost two years ago Chris Damas- kes, former proprietor of a confec- tionery at Davis street and Sherman avenue, left Evanston for his native land/Greece, that he might enlist in the Grecian army and light the Bul- garians. Now he has returned to Evanston unheralded, but honored for his service. He visited his brothers there until Saturday, when with his wife, he went on a month's trip to California and other Pacific coast states. He will then return to Evans- ton to reside. Damaskes voluntarily served one and one-half years In the Grecian army .during" the Balkan war. Al;. though he was in no bloody battle, he was appointed to one of the most re- sponsible and trustworthy posts in the entire army, that of general superin- tendent of a huKe castle near Corinth, where thousands of the enemy taken iib pi'innnrrfl, wwra housed- ri^mfrttkea | had seventy-four captains under him. Wins Praise for Efficiency. ♦ At the close of the war he was high characters. In the adaptation used in tills country under the title, "The World and His Wife," the characters consisted of Ave men and two women, but in the original there were four men and two women--two brothers, their, wives and the son of one brother ahcUadopted son of the other. It is abofit the later character and the wife of one brother that the gossip evolves into- tragedy, and while these _ char- acters are absolutely innocent ol wrong doing because of gossip two murders are committed and a family wrecked. One HnO' In the play brings qut the point that If TwovFeopte are seen together once by JO0;people they may as well have been seen together 100 times. Th,ero is no villain In the play--the- entire--social -mass--the great Galeoto--being the villain. In Paola and Francesca, Galeoto is the ng_^W4tb4characiejLwhojcarrh?s the court gossip back and forth and TscliegarayTn^htff play has made this character to em- brace. Jhe enUrejBpclal mass--the busy bodies with idle gossip for a pastime --the great Galeoto.
