VAUDEVILLE on TRAINS.

Several of the through trains running
out of New York are soon to be equipped
with luxurious vaudeville cars, fitted up
with an the accessories of a regular thea
ire. This startling innovation, which
marks new era N the comforts of rail-
road travel. will first be tried on the Lee
high Valley system and the Nickel Plate
railroad. The first theater car will be
run on the Black Diamond express on
April l. One of these cars is now being
built for John F. Harley. a well known
theatrical manager. who will provide the
entertainments. The various shows Civ
en- will consist of vaudeville performances
and concerts the stage being too small
for all but the simpler theatrical produc-
tons.
Contracts have already been signed with
several railroad companies which make it
possible to give these performances,
charging about the same prices as are
charged in The regular theaters. The nov
C!tv Of going to the theater while being
whirled across the country day or night
is expected to appeal strongly to ma
iority Of travellers.
Tn, idea Of adapting the ordinary day
coach i'm this way was suggested 10 Mr.
Marley by the custom of the Christian
Endcavor and other religious societies of
holding services while en- route to their
conventions. Tho theatrical car will be
built with special attention to the problem
of shutting out as much noise as possible,
and the stage will ID provided with u
powerful sounding board.

taste and Sincerer regard for poetic
truth in the effort of our scenic artists
it is because Kean first pointed out to
a theater going public the possibilities
of artistic and consistent mounting and
staging in connection with Shakes
pearean drama.
An interesting feature of Charles
Kean's production Of "A Midsummer
Nights Dream which took place at
the Princess in the year 1856, was the
fact that the Puck of the performance
was little Ellen Terry, then in her
ninth year and making almost her first
public bow to an audience.
Since that day there have been many
rises and falls in the Shakespearean
barometer both in England and Amer
lea. There are, too, a number of critics
who are in the habit of saying Shakes
peare is old fashioned and out of date.
The bitterest of these assaulters of
Shakespeare is Mr.. George Bernard
Shaw, who is himself a patcher up of
plays Not long ago Mr. Shaw deliv-
cred himself on the great dramatist as
follows:
There is not a single sentence ut
tered by his julius Caesar that is
worthy of an average boss Regarded
as a crafty stage job, the play is tri-
umph. Rhetoric, claptrap, effective
gushes of emotion-all the devices of
the popular playwright-are employed
with a profusion of power that almost
breaks their backs"
The time when this sort of criticism
was thought clever has passed away
and while students of the drama realize
that Shakespeare does not always
strike Il, they also realize that it is an
excellent thing to have a number of
magnificent masterpiece to which a
faded public can turn when tired of the
delightful but too often unsubstantial
frivolties of the modern playwright.

There WAS time, and not so very
long ago, either, when the, dramatic
manager looked upon Shakespearean
production as an expensive luxury. 1t

Jagged out the old Shakespearean
Scenery.
Then came change. Shakespeare
was relegated to the back townships
and for a time was presented to rural
though admiring audiences, who called
vociferously and Intellectually for ''au-
thor" Owing to the beautiful economy
exercised in such performances, where
by the garb of the Hamlet of one night
becomes the doublet and hose of the
Rosalind of the next Shakespeare was
made to pay, perhaps, though not in
any princely proportions.
But during the present season

TRIAL SCENE MERCHANT OF VENICE REAHAN AS pORTlA

ular moe 2rn plays to indOrse and es-
tablsh their theatrical success by a
triumphant touch or two in the Eliza
bothan classics. That Miss Adams Will
make q charming and a passionate
hearted Juliet no one who knows her
work can doubt. and that her interpre-
tatiOn of the part Will have sufficient
originality to awaken fresh interest in
a long familiar dramatic character goes
without saying.
Still another American actress who
is doing most excellent work in Shakes
pearean comedy is Miss Julia Mar
lowe. Miss MarlOwe mas been waiting
for the tide to turn for several years,
and now that it has turned her Shakes
peare work is carrying her on to fame.
For Miss Marlowe is not only an actor
of the poet; she is also one OF his great
students, and in her devotion to his
memory makes an annual pilgrimage
each summer to his birthplace at STRAIT
ford.
Yet all this present day turning back
to the works Of England's greatest
dramatist is not due to mere caprice.
From time TO time for over a century
new Shakespearean reYivals have been
taking place. In the middle of the
present century two such remarkable
reviyals occurred. The first of these
was that instituted by Samuel Phelps
III London, when all OF the poets plays,
with the exception of the impossible
six" were produced. Phelps, coming
after Macready, was the legitimate sue
cessOr of that long line of great
Shakespearean players who had held
almost unbroken sway over the British
stage since the day of Burbage
Phelps's own impeTsOnations in these
reviyals included leading parts in near
ly all of Shakespeare dramas, the am
bilious actor assuming over thirty roles
in his different performances. AL
though his tragic presentations have
been adversely criticised, his other
parts, such as Justice Shallow, Falstaff
and Bottom the Weaver, received very
high praise and gave him an estab-
lished position as a comedian.
Charles Kean was the originator of
the second of these two great series of
revivals of Shakespearean plays. Kean
was not what could be called a great
actor; but, like Henry Irving, was an
excellent producer and stage manager.
But his too conscientious regard for
elaborate and so-called pendantically
accurate antiquarian stage fittings gave
rise to the report that Kean thought
more of stage furniture than Of the re-
alization of the true intent of the dra-
matist in the plays produced. His
theatre, the Princess, came to be face
titiously called Mr. Kean's Furniture
Warehouse" But Notwithstanding this
Kean's Shakespearean reproductions
were maryels of scenic splendor. In
fact, Charles Kean was the prototype
of Sir Henry Irving, and if to-day we
have more stable and timer dramatic

A SHAkESpEAREAN REv,lAL
willie The Swan" Seems to Be Valuable at Present From
the Box Office Stondpont--New Productions.

I be expected to speak of her "child's
father" But night after night Miss
| Arthur stuck to her first reading, and
now her press agent is advertising the
fact with good deal of bumptiousness
that the new reading is to be found in
the first folio edition of Shakespeare
and therefore must be right. AS a re-
suit of this the pretty actress is being
praised for presenting an unadulterat-
ed version of Shakespeare, free from all
modern tampering, and it is being
pointed out, though with dubious ap-
propriateness, that in this passage the
author intended to demonstrate Rosa
lind's great eXuberance Of spirits and
her firm intention of an early matri-
monial union with her lover, Orlando.
All of this goes to show that a little
learning in Shakespearean research is
dangerous thing. What a delightful
state of things Shakespearean we
should find ourselves in if we followed
that first folio in all its readings!
But notwithstanding all these textual
difficulties which lie in the path of the
fin de steele assaulter of Shakespeare
some really admirable productions have
taken place. Nine. Modjeska's success
in certain plays has induced her to I'M
dertake the performance of both King
john which was once Kemble's favor
ite play, and Winters Tale" So in
a short while an American audience
will have the unique pleasure of seeing
both of these long neglected dramas
once more produced.
Still another aspirant for Shakes
rp9rean 1aurelS in orr own land is Miss
Maude Adams. Early in the spring, it
is announced Miss Adams viii give
number of performances of Romeo
and Juliet" This delightful little ac-
tress' excursion into shakespeare is

found to be very profitable.
Having invested in the ranch large
part of her savings from her theatrical
earnings. she naturally looks closely after
it to see that it pays a proper dividend on

Another branch of her undertaking is
bee raising. She has 600 hives of Italian

flowers of the white sage, which are cred

looks on Willie the Swan with an eye

might be called a Shakespearean re-
viyal not only in America, but also in
England.

lance Of the bbx office, paying bust

have been the new artistic triumphs
which American actresses have achiey-
ed in these once fatal Shakespearean
plays.
Our new series of performances are
marked by humanity, completeness
and consistency unique in the history
Of Shakespearean productions.
In Days presentation of THE Mer-
chant of Venice" Miss Ada Rehan has
scored a very great success, although
certain critics have been objecting to
the manner in which Mr.. DAILY has TAX

one has little s mpathy with those
austere purists yho cry for Shakes
peare word for wctd as it is writ, there
is such a thing as a rational and decent
respect for a masters workmanship.
Cobblers of Shakespeare have always
been held in juf contempt. There are,
however, certain things in the poets
work which appealed to the pit of the
Globe Theater in 1908 that do not prove
acceptable to a New York audience at
the end of the nineteenth century
Autres tempsi Autres moeurs! Nor
must it be imagined that there is any
one infallible text for the Shakespeare
producer to follow. Shakespeare did
not edit his own plays, and it has taken
two centuries of cautious and cumula-
lively constructive criticism to make
number of them, in parts, even intelli-
gible.
In connection with this point perhaps
the most remarkable thing about Julia
Arthur's recent presentation of Rosa
