works OF Shakespeare, gave last evening
perhaps the most charming reading OF

altogether impressive. Through his high
appreciation Of the beauties and merits
of this delightful romance he brought out
10 the best advantage the genius OF
England's literary idol and presented 10
his hearers in a highly pleasing manner
the thorough knowledge which the poet
possessed of w0mans highest traits Of
character.
DIR. Furness' comments were as in
structive as they were original. Among
the most striking things he said was
that Shakespeare started out 10 write
The Merchant of Venice" as a tragedy.
but ere he had reached the fourth act
of the play he felt so deep sympathy
and so genuine an admiration for the
character of Portia to change hts
original purpose. and produce the play
In it's present form.
The speaker was listened to with the
closest attention throughout. and he
