This putting on of Shakespesrean
drama, particularly at a popular
price" theater is most remarkable
move.
The noble, elevating lines, the won
derful insight into humanity and the
wonderful character painting, all of
which are to be found in the highest
form in the great bsrd's works, are as
powerful educstive factors as can be
found. That Manager Cooper will find
it profitable undertaking there is little
doubt.
To see one of Shakespeare plays is an
event in the life of anyone. The boy in
the peanut gallery and the patron of the
dreas circle equally find delight, eleva-
ton and instruction, and each year
shows a greater popular demand for
Hamlet. Richard, Macbeth and the
other great once.
Some years ago noted New York
manager said bankruptcy spelt
Shakespeare, but nowadays that is
changed. The people want Shakespeare
first. and consider the skill with which
his works are presented as secondary.
Robert Mantell had his biggest audi
ence here when he played Hamlet, and
there was not a man in town who knew
he would play it respectfully even.

A story is going the rounds of little
woman who was seated behind a gor-
geously dressed beauty at a theater in the
metropolis whose balloon sleeves COM
pletely hid the stage from the victim in
the rear. She sat on first one foot, then
the other, but in vain; no glimpse of the
play could she get. After whispered
conversation with her husband came the
tragedy. Without word of warning
that wee woman quietly rose, gently but
firmly laid her hands upon the winged
shoulders of her obtrusive neighbor and
pressed her green and red ruffles as far
down as they would go People who
saw the operation gasped Mt the trans
formation. The victim wisely accepted
the situation and remained in subiuga-
ton until the 'Prodigal Daughter" ig-
ANONYMOUSLY returned to the fatted calf.
