MAUDE ADAMS AS JOAN OF ARC AT HARVARD JUNE 22, An almost stern simplicity toward the subject of the occasion will be the dominant note3 In the single performance per-formance of "Joan of Arc" that Miss Maude Adams and her company are to do In the stadium of Harvard university univer-sity June 22. It Is a coincidence that tho beatification of tho Maid of Orleans Or-leans by tho church should make doubly fitting such an Intention In giving a stage representation of Schiller's Schil-ler's drama, built around tho career of the savior of Franco. Moro than a thousand persons will bo employed In tho performance. The battlo sceno between tho English and French armies will be in itself a tremendous spcctaclo. Two great contending con-tending hosts will bo shown in vivid, lifelike and historically accurate combat com-bat The clash of cavalry, the marshaling marshal-ing of Inantry and the tremendous magnlflconco of war will bo as nearly represented as an infinite amount of pains, a great outlay of money and the best procurablo stago direction can obtain. Miss Adams" own performance of tho maid will be notable for extreme humility hu-mility and spirituality. Careful adherence ad-herence will bo shown toward a pretty literal translation of Schiller's manuscript manu-script The entire performance will bo under un-der tho auspices of the German department de-partment of Ilcrvard university.
