predicted two months ago that the boom
would continue, with possibly slight re-
actions, almost throughout the year, but
he told me it would end like all other

stage craft of the period could not sup
ply. Now the appeal is to the taste not
alone through the intellect as formerly,
but through the senses as well. Nothing
is left to the imagination. These me-
cbanical and pictorial conditions exer-
else a gentle tyranny over the poet. If
we will have beautiful pictures there
must be time to set them up, and take
them down, and the text is curtafed, but
this must be done quickly so the order
of scenes is so arranged that one may be
set up while the other is being acted.

nearly the acting version Of Henry W"

be gathered from a statement Of the Sc

MANSFIELD As KING Hal
AMERICAS GREATEST ACTOR
BRINGS HIS GREATEST WORK
TO METROPOLITAN
DRAMATIC EVENT OF SEASON
"Knobs o. Tennessee" Hal Reid's
New MeIOdrama, at the Grand
Victoria BurIesquers
at the Star.

Richard Mansfield in his great produce
ton of Henry W comes to the Met
ropolitan tomorrow evening for three
nights only. The fact should be kept
in mind that the curtain will rise
each evening during Mr.. MansGeld's stay
at 7:45 o'clock. This does not mean or
SIS.
Every effort has been put forth, and
no expense spared to make the event as
perfect as possible. The theater turn
isnes Mr.. Mansfield with nothing but the
bare walls of the stage and the drop
curtain. He brings nineteen elaborate
scenic settings and several hundred
trunks, crates and cases containing
armor, costumes, furniture, battle weap-
ons, and other historic and heraldic par
aphernalia for the production. There
are in the cast fifty-two players, a choir
OF forty a ballet of thirty-four, and the
total list of people appearing in the re-
turn Of the king and his victorious army
into London, which constitutes the
entire fourth act, numbers close to 800.
There is also a corps of unseen people,
trained and necessary, in the Mansfield
retinue. He brings thirty stage hands,
who, though unseen, contribute with in
dispensable efficiency to the splendor Of
the performance. No inexperienced
workmen would do. The perfected re-
suits demand skilled men to handle all
the quantities of scenery and parapher-
MALTA with no waste Of time, and no
bungling This is only one item of the
many which confirm the fidelity of this
artist to high standards Much of the
comedy in Henry v" is produced by
the meeting of the English with the
French in the great battle of Agincourt,
with neither able to understand the
language of the other OF course the
French characters should speak perfect

field engaged specially for this produc-
ton several native French actors.
Several of the scenes in Henry V"
are mere moving tableaux, but they are
dramatic and tell a graphic story. The
battle of Agincourt is one Of these. The
effect beginning at the footlights
is Of miles and miles of fighting
knights, mounted and on foot. The en-
tire fourth act is devoted to the triumph

al procession Of King Harry and his
army into London on returning from the
war. There are 400 people in this re-
markable spectacle.
The acting version employed by Mr..
Mansfield is his own arrangement, and
represents months of careful study
When an "acting version" of Shakes
peare is mentioned there is an inevitable
suggestion of mutllation. A hint of ICON
oclasm, of violence to something or
other nobody seems to know what, and
sometimes there drifts in the current of
its wake touch Of resentment Yet an
acting version" is really the salvation
of Shakespeare. 1t would be quite i'm
practicable to act Shakespeare undiluted
The audience would not sit through it,
and the arrangement of scenes would so
utterly defeat the most expert stage
management that the entr'actes would
eclipse the action.
An acting version is a concession to
modern conditions. The chorus in Henry
v" appeals to the imagination to supply
what the dramatist suggests, bat the rude
