OUR NEW NEWS.GATHERER 
The latest addition to the up-to- 
date equipment used in getting out 
our weekly magazine is a 1911 Reo, 
the torpedo roadster model, a picture 
of which is shown herewith. ‘The 
BREEZE is growing each year. When 
it was started in 1904, Manchester 
and immediate territory was the field 
it “covered.” Now, in the summer 
THE PAGEANT OF DARKNESS AND 
Licut. 
A revival of interest in pageantry 
has sprung up in this country during 
the last few years. We have had his- 
torical pageants, many patriotic and 
semi-political pageants but none of 
these has approached in operatic 
splendor or unity of story the Pa- 
geant of Darkness and Light, now 
being given daily at the Mechanics 
3uilding in Boston, in connection 
with “The World in Boston” Mission- 
ary Exposition. 
This production goes back to the 
carefully planned and magnificently 
set pieces of Ben Johnson and the 
other Elizabethan lovers of pagean- 
try. The excellent libretto by John 
Oxenham, although short, contains 
some lyrics of great rhythmic beauty. 
The first scene is an Indian camp 
in the northwest. The chief of the 
tribe and his wife are in distress over 
the loss of his little daughter who has 
strayed away. A band of Esquimaux 
come to trade with the Indians, and 
the medicine men of the latter incite 
the braves to kill the visitors. 
then a missionary brings the chief’s 
daughter into the camp and having 
gained the chief’s good will, preaches 
to the people his message of light. 
‘The scene changes to the streets of 
Livingstone, the famous explorer, is 
resting from his journeyings. Here 
Stanley, who has been searching for 
him, finds him lost in thought and 
begs him to return to England, but 
Livingstone determines not to go un- 
til his work is done. At this news 
his men break into a song of thanks- 
giving.

season, it “covers” the entire North 
Shore, from Swampscott and Marble- 
head on one side to Rockport and 
Gloucester on the other, with Hamil- 
ton, Wenham and Ipswich claiming 
our attention in the rear. We expect 
our Reo will be a very helpful factor 
in gathering items of news weekly 
from all parts of this wide territory. 
The scene changes to the streets of 
a city in India. A funeral procession 
is seen, leading a young widow to the 
funeral pyre. Just as the pyre is 
about to be lighted, however, an Eng- 
lish official comes in with a procla- 
mation against the barbarous custom 
of burning widows and the mission- 
aries break into a jubilant chant. 
The most dramatic scene of all is 
a coral beach in Hawaii, where the 
natives are gathered for a wedding. 
In the background the volcano Kil- 
auca towers. A priest of the Goddess 
Pele approaches and demands that the 
bridegroom and a child playing in the 
flowers close by, be thrown into the 
voleano as a sacrifice to the angry 
goddess. As he is about to lead them 
down, Queen Kapiolani bids defiance 
to the goddess and the power of the 
latter is broken forever. 
The music for these episodes was 
written by Hamish MacCunn. ‘The 
conductor of the music is Mr. Eph- 
raim Cutter, Jr. Miss Blanche Towle 
takes the part of the Chief’s wife and 
also of the bride and is a soprano of 
natural and well-trained power. Mr. 
Henry Gurney, the tenor, who has 
two more of the principal parts, comes 
up to the high quality demanded of 
tenors. 
The harem skirt is a harum-scarum 
rig to say the least of it. 
If you are on the down-hill 
make haste to get a transfer. 
May not a marriage ceremony be 
justly called a transaction in bonds? 
The horse is known by its years, 
but the mule is better known by its 
ears.
