A shakespearean Find

Mr.. Sidney Lee the latest authority on
Shakespeare and Shakespearean bibll-
ography, at recent meeting Of the Bibli-
ographical society in London, told of a
hitherto undescribed copy Of the First Fo-
lilo edition of Shakespeare which belonged
to the Baroness Burdett-Coutts. The pc
culiarity of the folio of 1923 lay in the civ
oumstance "that to it exclusively we owed
the possession of twenty of Shakespeare $
masterpieces" Mr.. Lee added:
ut was thus intrinsically the most valu-
able volume in the whole range of English
literature. Sixteen of Shakespeare's plays
alone were printed in his lifetime. These
appeared in separate quarto volumes, and
'Othello' followed separately after his
death in like form. The majority of the
plays that were acted in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries were never published
and have gone the way of waste paper.
Had the First Folio collection never come
into existence, as it did seven years after
Shakespeare's death, the world would
have been the poorer by The Tempest,
Measure for Measure AS You Like 1t,
Twelfth Night Julius Caesar Macbeth,
'Cymbeline,' Antony and Cleopatra Win
ter's Tale 'Coriolanus' and ten others"

which many well-meaning English speak

"Lord and Lady Algy"

There seems to be a great variety of
opinion concerning Mr. r. c. Cartons new
comedy, Lord and Lady Algy," which has
just been produced In the London Comedy
theater. Some of the daily newspaper
critics assail it quite vigorously, describ-
ing it as plagaristic, dull, labored, in
credible and SO forth; whereas, others COM
mend it heartily, and several, including
perhaps the most trustworthy of the lot,
praise 1t very highly, indeed. The story
is a modernized version of 1.-THE School for
Scandal" young married scapegraoe be-
ing made the scapegoat for the sins Of his
sanctified elder brother, with the differ
ence that the latter, owing to the quick and
kindly wit of his sister-in-law, escapes
the exposure and punishment that he de-
serves. In the modern play, as in the
old one, there is a screen scene, or an equi-
valent to 1t, but it does not end in a domes-
tic catastrophe. The London World says:
'Mr. Carton has modified the theme in q
hundred ways, but chiefly in making the
part of his Lady Teazle subordinate, and
introducing q new parsonage In the shape
of Mrs. Charles Surface, alias Lady Alger-
non Chetland. Lady Algy, or Ciss, as her
husband calls her. is charming charac-
ter, quaint. cynical, good-hearted, good
tempered, undemonstrative, but true to the
core. She has really touch of race in her
this stoical humorist in petticoats. The re.
lation between her and her husband is,
think, new to the stage. and is delightfully."-
conceived. 1t might well make the for
tune of a worse play. But. even apart from
this, the play is good. The first act Is full
of amusing situations, and leaves us will

Y. Z.-When you read in the paper that
the singing of patriotic song brings the
house to its feet with riotous applause
and you know that the applause was really
of a mild kind, and that the people kept
their seats with the utmost decorum, you
must attribute the discrepancy to the ex-
ercise of fervid imagination that would
have everything made to accord just now
with the sounds of battle and the pomr
and panoply of warm Cuba.

The First Folio, as we know. was printed
by William and Isaac Taggard' whose
press was in Fleet street, near st. Duns-
tan's church. Mr.. Lee drew attention to
the careless printing and bad proofreading
on the part of those who produced volume
which contains nearly 1000 double-column
pages. These plumbers have been OFTEN IN
dicated and corrections presented. A
unique irregularity, Mr.. Lee showed, exist
cd in the Burdett-Coutts folio. and was
his discovery.
The history of this particular folio was
as follows: For over $50 years 1t formed
part of the library of the Sheldon family
at their house in Long Compton, Warwick
shire, not very far from Sratford-on-Avon
In 1851 the Sheldon books were sold. This
Is the popularity, then, of the baroness
folio, the volume, unfortunately, not being
In good conditions:
1.-THE concluding passages of Romeo aud
Juliet and the opening passages of 'Troilus
| and Cressida' are printed twice over at dill
ferent parts of the volume. Judging from
| the position OF the duplicated passages and
| from evidence of pagination, 1t was prob
able that the printers, while the work was
in process of production, at first intended
that 'Troilus and Cressida' should follow
Romeo and Juliet instead Of preceding 1t
| at a long interval, as in ordinary copies.
This uncertainty as to the arrangement
of the plays was of interest because the
arrangement in ordinary copies of the First
Folio had been religiously adhered to by
most of the later editors. The clumsiuess
of the printers in supplying in the Sheldon
copy so signal proof of their hesitation
and merely accidental procedure in fixing
on an order for the plays, gave that copy
an interest in the eyes Of collectors some-
thing like that attaching to the Vinegar,
or the Wicked Bible-works which owe
their market value to an oversight on the
part Of the corrector of the press"
Summing up the First Folios and esti-
mating them to be about 200 there are only
thirty in perfect condition. Twenty have
small defects, and $50 copies are, Mr.. Lee
said, seriously defective" One copy, be-
longing to the baroness, Mr. Lee said, was
to be deemed in all respects "as the finest
one extant." This folio is known as the
Daniel copy, and was bought by the bar
oness in 1864, and the price paid for it then
was G716

Sarah Bernhard made her first appear
ance at the Paris Renaissance theater,
since her recent Illness, in a four-act piece
by NJ. Coolus, called "Lysiane." 1t Is the
story of a woman loved by a man, much
younger than herself, who saves her from
betrayal by an adventurer of whom she is
enamoured. When she upbraids him for
destroying her happiness, he pleads his
own passion in excuse, and in the end
succeeds in exciting a corresponding emo
ton in her heart for himself, whereupon
all ends happily. Nine. Bernhard bad a
magnificent reception and acted With all
her old fascination and power.

little narrow gauge special passenger
car, the only one we had, to the end of
the line to meet the party, and station
