The First "Hamlet" in New York.
From Harper's Mdoazine

from ddfper'S Magazine.
Hamlet" was first presented in the city
of New York on the evening of Nov. 26,
1901, and at 1.-THE new theater in Chappei
street-now Beekmau street-near Nassau.
the younger Lewis Hallam, the original
''Hamlet" in America lat Philadelphia, in the
autumn OF 1859, playing the titular part
Hallam was versatile actor. who was on
tie stage in this country for over fifty
years. and always popular. Concerning
his Hamlet" very little is now known, ex-
cept the curious statement IN the 'Me-
moirs Of Alexander Graydon," publ she'd in
1911, that Hallam once We injured to apps ear as
Hamlet in London-'and was endured ~
He was the acknowledged leading tragedian
or the New York stage until his retirement
in 1906, and he is known to have PLAYED
Hamlet" as late as 1877, when he must
have been close upon 60 years of age. Mr..
Ireland is of the impression that John
Hodgklnson, contemporary of Hallam's
who appeared as Hamlet in Charleston,
S. C.. carly in the present century, con-
ceded Hallam'S rights to the character in
the metropolis, and never attempted it
here
The first Hamlet" in New York in point of
quality, and perhaps the second in point of
time, was that of Thomas Abthorpe Cooper.
who played the part at the John Street
theater on Nov. 90, 1877, although Mr..
Ireland believes that he was preceded BY
Mr.. Moreton at the theater on Greenwich
street in the summer of the same year. as
he had played the "Ghost" to Moreton's
"Hamlet" in Baltimore a short time before.
William Dunlap speaks in the highest terms
of Cooper's Hamlet" and John Bernard

sPsCTACLE LENSES.
How They Are Cut Out OF r. Sheet o.
Glass.
From DE American Je,oeIer.

From the American Jetceler
The work Of cutting is all performed
with tiny fragment Of diamond, known
In the trade as a spark. 1t is not every
| spark, however, that will cut lens. The
sparks are mounted in the following man-
ner: A piece Of brass wire is selected, say
three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, a
hole is drilled in the end large enough to
admit the spark, and it is set in the hole
with the point up. The outer edge or she'll
OF the wire Is beaten inward, and holds the
spark firmly IN place. The wire is then
placed in the lathe and cut
of just back of the spark,
turning the end hemispherical,
using the point of the spark that sticks
through the brass as a center A piece of
steel wire is next selected, OF the same
diameter as the brass wire, and the end is
turned In. forming cup. The mounted
spark is then soft-soldered into this cup and
it is ready for the machine. which works
automatically from pattern, and can be
set to cut larger or smaller than the pat
tern, Before the mounted spark is placed
In the machine, however, it is tested by
holding the handle upright. II it does not
cut In an upright position, the point is
unsoldered by means of the blowpipe and
the handle resoldered, leaving the cutting
point at the required angle, while the
handle ltsel1 10 upright. When the spark
is found to cut well in an upright position,
it is then placed in the machine for trial
The glass is placed upon a pad under
the spark, the glass varying
in form according 20 the
kind OF lens being cut. If the lens is fiat
the pad is also, and if the lens is convex the
pad is concave and must be a perfect fit;
for the better the fit the more accurate will
be the work. The pattern and glass travel
around, while the diamond remains sta
tionary. The life of spark is short, some
being only one day. while once in a while
they can DO worked for year. The work
men average fifty dozen pair of lenses per
day. A good diamond will cut on an
average of 1900 dozen pairs. The average
lens measures four inches around, and
dozen pairs would be eight feet In cutting
l.5OO pairs, the spark would travel over a
surface equal to piece of glass 1900 feet
long. There are exceptional sparks that
cut for months. now have one which has
been in operation for fifteen months and
has cut $500 dozen pairs, travelling about
$1,000 feet. We use two kinds of sparks,
the Brazilian and the African, and they
cost from So to S. each.
