SHAKESPEARE INCOMPLETE.
He Had Mo- Foreseen the American
Type Of Nature.

"It is not true" remarked he learned
play actor, that Shakespeare created all
kinds of characters. for d. not find
i'm his dramas any characters that bear
anv resemblance 70 TIE great Amer
leans who have figured in our country
history. There is not in all Of them even
the shadow of a personality like Abra-
ham Lincoln, than whom there is rot a
finer theme for some future American
dramatist, able to illustrate the scenes
in his career, from the kentucky log
cabin to the theater in which he was as
sassinated. Shakespeare has no George
Washington, no Andrew Jackson. none
of our heroes or sages, none of our
many unique notables, and none Of our
wondersome wom. 4. His creations be
long to many countries, but he never
gives a forecast of the peculiar Amer
lean product which came into existence
centuries after his death.
Few of Shakspeare's characters
would ever have been tolerated in this
country. We could not have Falstaff
among us, or Macbeth, or Lear, or Cali
ban. or the ghost Of Hamlets father. or
Ophelia, much less any Of his royal or
classical characters.
1--WE have had plenty of Americans
worthy of dramatic honOrs, fitted for
the tragedy the comedy, or the histor-
ical play. totally different in their traits
and deeds from the Shakspearean peo-
pie, and the like of whom were never
suggested or foreshadCwed by Shak
speare. The oft-repeated statement that
the play writer of Stratford conceived
and drew all types of human nature
and all varieties of hun an life is fic-
ton. Should a man of his genius ever
be born in the United States he would
find here an abundance of material for
dramas as grand as ever were written"
