Nat c. Goodwin has decided to es- say the role of Shylock in 'The Mer- chant of Venice" in hhe near future. But his ambition does not stop at that. There are other Skakespear- can parts I should like to play" he says. "For example, Richard III. I want to play the Richard III that I believe in. I don't think he was villain, you know, and if he was, he wasn't the sort of villain he is usually played. Did you ever read Abbott's Richard III? We'll, you get it, and see if you can find any differ ence in character between that Rich
 ard and Napoleon. That is the sort of Richard I want to play. Why, have seen it acted in such a way that in the very first scene Lady Anne would have to run him through at once. It seems to me possible to play the role so that the character of Rich ard will create in the minds of the au- dience the same doubt that he must have aroused in Lady Anne to make that scene possible and plausible"
 At last prophet has found ''honor in his own country" and quaint, versatile, genial Sol Smith Russell is receiving the heartfelt and deserving plaudits of the New York theater goers. MT. Russell is now in his second month of a triumphant, crowd-gathering engagement at the Garden theater, in New York, and the rush for seats is SO brisk that Charles Frohman and MT. Russel1's manager { MT. Fred Berger, are doing their best to cancel the comedians S out-of-town contracts, with view to keeping him indefinitely in New York, the engagement having been already extended to November 20. The New | York Herald in a late issue says: ''The acting of Sol Smith Russell is refreshing and a benefit. His success is gratifying not only to those who admire the admirable comedian, but who rejoice to SC New York indorse a good, clean, morally healthy play" Mir. Russel lis very desirous to put on his gorgeous production of ''The Tam | ing of the Shrew" and ''The Spitfire," !" but in view of the enormous advance sale of seats it would appear that a change of bill will have to be post poned indefinitely.

DIR. de Kannet expects the Ca

the work of developing this great

predicts that, with the opening of
the railway, there would come
such vast gold development in
Siberia as would make that coun-

with but primitive appliances and
methods, it produces in the neigh.
