Shakespeare Adapted to the Wants of

The revival of Shakespearean plays in the
metropolis by Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Potter
and the readings by George Riddle and Sidney
Woollett have deeply impressed the literary ele-
ment OF the boundless west. With a laudable
desire to occupy prominent place in the front
rank of the procession, scribe subsidized by
the Chicago Herald evolved the following adap-
tation of Romeo and Juliet"
Scene-Chicago. A street in front of the
Capulet mansion. Romeo discovered hanging
perilously by the fre-escape at Juliet's window
Juliet leaning out.
Juliet-wilt thou be gone? 1t is not vet near
1t was the cable car and not the milk cart
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine
ear.
Nightly it runs on yonder avenue
CTS so, indeed, when one is wooing
Believe me, love, it was the cable car.
RomeO-It was the milk cart, herald of the
morn;
No cable car; look, love, what envious
streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder
Nights electric lights are burned out,
and jocund day
Stands tip-toe on the gutter.
must slide down the fre-escape
An hour hence and must have the Office
swept.

Nurse-Milidy!
Juliet-Susan.
Nurse-Your lady mothers coming to your
room.
You'd better let that gentleman get
hitherward.
(She throws q kiss to Romeo over Juliet's
shoulder.)
Romeo-( Aside) Ny future ther-in-law-I
fly. CTo Juliet Goodbye.
Juliet-O! think'st thou we shall ever meet
Romeo-well, rather! and I'll telephone thee
when.
Juliet-The telephone has ears-the girls at
central Office.
Romeo-rll<send an A. d. T. boy
Juliet-He's too slow.
Romeo-A fee will make him P. d. O., I know.
How love IL handicapped in these degen-
crate days.
Juliet-And yet thou lov'st me?
Romeo-Lov'st thee, Juliet?

Like him I'd have thee ever ct my lips.

name with the judgeship was mentioned he
said:
II was surprised to hear my name mentioned
in connection with this appointment. II it
