AN APPEAL to the SHAKSPERE CONI-
miTTEE fer the ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE.—
Patronised by her Most Gracious MAJESTY and his Royal
Highness the Prince of WALES.—The noblemen and gen-
tlemen forming the various Shakspere Committees are ear-
nestly prayed to ansider the appropriateness of devoting a
portion of the funds collecting for the Tercentenary Celebra-
tion of the great Poet to the above Institution, founded for
"the poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the
stage, and then Is heard no more," and the education of their
children. What nobler monument could be erected to the
memory of Shakspere, himself a player, than the building
and endowing the two schools of this College in his name,
and enabling a few worn-out actors to pass in comfort to
their last home who have contributed to your pleasure and
amusement ? Shakspere writes :—" Good my lord, will you
see the players well bestowed ! Do you hear, let them be
well used; for they are abstract and brief chronicles of the
time." WEBSTER, Master.
