KING LEAR is GOOD.
Spicndidlv Presented by Warde and
His support Last Evening.

That all too infrequently acted trag-
edy, king Lear" was intelligently
and artistcally interpreted at the
Frothingham last evening. Lear has
not what the latter day critics are
pleased to term as heart il st. 1t
is exaggerated, unreal aru ut of the
range Of human sympathy, but withal
it's eXaEEeration makes it impressive,
it's unreality serves to make it the
more marked and imposing, and it's
rise beyond the heights of human SYM
pathy gives to it a sublimity without
parallel in all the domain of the
drama.
The company which interpreted
"King Lear" last evening was in the
main well fitted to its great task
Frederick Warde has served a dra-
matte apprenticeship, which is, in it
self, a guarantee of histronic polish.
He has always been identified with the
| legitimate drama and this experience
has given to him an earnestDess of en-
deaVor and a self praise which are pos
| sessed by but few living actors. The
grand passions of humanity have been
his lifelong study and his interpreta-
tion of them evidences thorough train
| ing and hard work. He has, besides
| his experience and hard work, dra-
matte intelligence and unquestioned
! power. He played the old king last
| night as but one or two living actors
! can play it, The great opportunity
! for rant which Lear affords was wise
| ly and happily ignored,
But little behind ny WaHd was

a more heart thrilling climax than
the recognition Of Cordelia by the king
as his senses emerge from the mist of
damentia. And yet it was not a eli

SCRANTON SOLDIER
BOYS COME HOME
Arrived at 9.I5 O'clock Last Night on a
D., L. and W. Train.
FOoTsORE AND WEARY, But WELL
They shouted as Their Special Train
of Eleven Cars Pulled Into the
Depot Outward and Inward Bound
Trims Were Uneyentful - A Hard
Service and Uncomfortable Quar-
ters in New York City.

Foot sore and weary, with ewes be-
fogged and with ragged voices, the sol
der boys Of the Thirteenth regiment,
after an exactly five hours ride, came
rolling into the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western station at 9,15 o'clock, fill
ing the air with shouts that resounded
from the crowd of waiting ones on the
station platform. After the train had
stopped, the cars unwillingly gave forth
their blue baggage and the eight com
panies formed on the asphalt space in
front If the depot.
There was some confusion. At one
time Company f was at rest, when
Company Il. the Honesdale contingent,
marched suuarely into the T. line Hold
your ground, Company T." shouted an
officer. There was some interesting
pushing of the football sort and then
order was restored. This little incl
dent was the only thing approaching
excitement.
Certainly the friends of the boys in
blue were fitting around like butter
flies about a garden of Violets, and, 1t
is said some of these in reality lighted
softly and for an instant on the flowers
themselves. But this kind of diversion
is personal concern, and it's none of
the public's business.
MARCH TO THE ARMORY.
The Second battalion Companies A,
Il, and D. formed under the command
of Major F. w. Stillwell and headed
by the regiment drum corp, the march
to the armory was begun. Company

pany II got aboard street cars that
prOvidentially were laying about, Com
pang C flew to Montrose on the might
| line" and e company, of Honesdale,
| travelled homeward at 10 o'clock on a
| special car provided by the Erie and
Wyoming company.
The route of the Second battalion
was up Lackawanna avenue in columns
| of fours, to Wyoming, where the for
| nation was in company front, to Lin
| den street, to Adams avenue and the
! armory. The boys We're too tired to
make much noise. Only once, when the
| line passed under a banner on Lacka-
wanna avenue advertising Company
| C's Lake Ariel excursion, were there
| any cheers. The drum corps played en-
route. At the armory the battalion dis
| persed, and the end was over.
There We're noteworthy incidents tc
| either the hOmeWard or outward bound
| trips. Quarters were abandoned in
| New York city at o'clock and the
| Ninth and Thirteenth regiments
| marched a distance of forty-fve blocks
to the Hoboken ferry. The Thrteenth'S

O'Clock and the run was made without
any delays. Only one man, a member
