Tragedy.

Comedians are sad of the stage be-
cause they can not play tragedy. A
quarter Of a ccntimeuer too little on
the nose, upward slanting eyes or
some such slight variation prevents
a mar from acting Hamlet, Othello
or Lauciotto da Rimini. A snUb-
nosed Hamlet or jovial-eyed Ian
ciotto is an impossibility. Even
Coquelin regrets that the uncOnceal-
able rotuudity Of his figure and his
upward slanting features prevent
him from assuming the heroic tragic
roles.
Most actors who can amuse think
it beneath them, and fancy themselves
10 the tragic, classic roles creating
profound sensations. But the art Of
grief is exceedingly difficult. The
fine line which separates agony from
rant is so impalpable that most
actors trample on it and produce alb
surd effects.
1 think Mr.. Cts Skinner would
make a most acceptable comedian.
He has a fine voice, he is graceful and
has the underlined electric quality Of
getting on good terms with the audi
ence Immediately. But Francesca da
Rimini is a enthusiastically tragic play;

household who renounce the exact

She was country school teacher and

in the Congregational church OF this

sack Of corn meal and lived on meal,
boiled and fried, during his college
days. He reported that he was hap

All the out worn tragedy business,
all the signs that actors for hum
dred years have used to indicate ex-

 Although the next sheriff of Litch- field county will not be elected until November, 1902, pipe laying for this important position has been in prog reSs for several months.
 Sheriff Nellis will not have smooth sailing in his effort to secure a re- election unless present indications are altered very materially. In the last gubernatOrial campaign Sheriff Nellis was the earnest friend and advocate of Donald G. Warner of Salisbury, the Litchfeld county candidate for gOv- ernor. As will be remembered prom inent politicians of Litchtield county differed very radically concerning the governorship.
 o. R. Fyler of Torrington was the earnest supporter of George P. Mo- Lean of Simsbury and did all he pos sibly could to defeat the Litchfield county candidate. The contest was waged night and day, Sheriff Nellis finish and winning some very impor- tant victories over the veteran Litch- field county leader.
 In the Eighteenth senatorial district in which MT Fyler resides Sheriff Nellis was particularly aggressive, hence MT Fyler and his friends are not now advocating the renOminatiOn of Sheriff Nellis nor are they likely to do so.
