Tho Woman "Hamlet."

w. D. Howells, in Harpers: The
strongest reason against any woman
Hamlet is that it does violence to an
ideal. Literature is not so rich in great
imaginary masculine types that we
can afford to have them transformed
to women; and after seeing Nine. Bern
hardt's Hamlet no one can altogether
liberate himself from the fancy that
the prince of Denmark was a girl Of
uncertain age, with crises OF mannish-
ness in which she did not seem quite
lady. Hamlet is in nothing more a
man than In the things to which as q
man he found himself unequal for as
a woman he would have been easily
superior to them. If we could suppose
him woman as Nine. Bernhard, in
spite of herself, invites us to do, we
could only suppose him to have solved
his perplexities with the delightful
precipitation of his putative sex. AS
the niece of a wicked uncle, who in
that case would have had to be wick
