The Latest Sensation

One Of the London critics thus describes
the great sensational scene in 1.-The Great

its presence there having been satisfactory

the spot determined to dispossess him Of

the only means Of escape, the prince leaps
into the car of the balloon, frees it from
the restraining ropes, and immedia: ely
begins to ascend. But Longman has been
almost as quick as he, and has caught hold
Of the network surrounding the car. So
up the two men go together into midair,

Another Financial Failure

Robert Mantell filed a voluntary petition
In bankruptcy at Chicago recently. In
explaining his action he said:
II have many debts and many big ones.
The alimony 1 have to pay my first wife
is one Of my greatest burdens. The court
first assessed me 500 week. That was
reduced later to s55 a week, but even at

The New Macbeth

The general opinion of London critics
touching the Macbeth OF Mr.. Forbes Rob-
ertson appears to be that the actor looks
the part good deal better than he plays
it. This verdict Is all the more convincing
because 1t Is quite plain that 1t is given
very unwillingly. All the Jurors preface
their condemnation with a variety of ex-
cuses and explanations. Really, says the
New York Evening Post, there is nothing
to explain There was no good reason for
supposing that Mr.. Robertson could play
the guilty thane with any real force or sig
nificance. If he had triumphed in the part
1t would have been wonder. Mr.. William
Archer, whose judgment In the case may
be depended upon, says: "Mr. Forbes Rob-
ertson's Macbeth is an interesting rather
than a great or commanding performance.
1t is free from the vice of style which make
so much modern Shapespearean acting a
WEAKNESS Of the flesh; but 1t has no strong
dramatic impetus to say nothing of tragic
greatness. MIR. Robertson's taste and tai
emit alike run in the direction of pure con-
temptation. His Hamlet was excellent in
the main, because Hamlet is in the main a
oontemplative character. Where he passes
from contemplation to action, or even in
tense and vehement feeling, Mr.. Robertson
at once fell short. He IL never positively
bad-never ridiculous or extravagant. He
simply fails to give adequate expression
to the emotions underlying the words he

to the Occasion when Caught
At Mischief.

The farmer crept stealthily along behind
the fence. Step by step he advanced, always
with his gaze fastened upon the cherry tree,
in the distance.
"Gol durn them town boys, anyway" he
muttered to himself, as he took srmer grip
upon the ugly-looking switch that he had
cut from the hickory back of the barn, "I'll
show 'em!'
Nearer and nearer he drew to the spot
where the engagement was to occur. Softly,
like tiger advancing upon its prey, he
edged along through the weeds, from one
fence corner to another.
Meanwhile the boy in the tree kept crook
ing his elbow at 32knot clip. The cherries
were large and fat and red, and he had a
wonderful tonnage. Ever and anon he would
smack his lips, and eject a handful of stones
from his mouth. 1t was glorious
Suddenly rugged form seemed to rise up
out of the ground, and somebody bawled in
tones that were husky with emotion:
"Here, drat your hide, what are you doin'
up there?"
1t was one of those moments when word
may win all or cause all to be lost.
The boy dropped the biggest, reddest,
juiciest cherry that he had been able to
reach, pulled himself together. drew his bare,
brown legs up under him, and replied:
"I'm rememberin' the Maine."
When he could speak again the farmer
said:

another nice tree full of 'em, up yonder in
