SHAKESPEAREAN PARTS.
The Melancholy Dane Is the Longest
of Them All.

ne Dahe the AoABC
of Them All.
The longest part in any Shakespeare
an play is Hamlet, who IS before the
audience almost constantly. Hamlet is
n constant talker and it is surprising
that in the circumstances he says so
many wise things. He has to his share
1859 lines. Richard III Is another long
part, as the character speaks 1,161
lines, and next comes IagO. with LIZ
lines. Henry V has LOGS lines.
One would suppose from seeing the
representation or from looking over the
play that Othello had more lines than
Iago, but it is not the case, for the val
liant Moor has only $50 lines. Coriola-
nus has $50, the Duke in Measure For
Measure" $50 and Timon $50. Antony
in Antony and Cleopatra" does not
seem very long part judging by the
appearance of the prompt book, but in
reality he has $50 lines.
Brutus III Julius Cesar has 72I,
Falstlff in Henry V" T19. Macbeth
appears a long part judging from how
much he is on the stage in the repre-
sentation. but in fact he has only 705
lines. Romeo has 61S, which is only a
few more than the King in Hamlet"
who las sol. Cassius in Julius CR-
sar," although a first class part, has
but 507 lines.
The female parts in Shakespeare's
plays are not very long. The actress
who plays Portia has $50 lines to
study. Rosalind has 749. Cleopatra
has go and Juliet 541. Desdemona
has only $50. Beatrice has 300. Only
20 of Shakespcare's women have more
than 300 lines each, and some of the
most famous of the great bard's femi-
nine creations have comparatiT ely lit
tie to say. Cordelia in King Lear
has only 10 lines. Kate in Tanning Of
the Shrew," although so conspicuous
and voluble, has but 229, while Lady
