dow which sparklcs ON the grass under
the morning sun, Yet another point
made bs the actor was that never an
author but VAS more than anxious to
have his name printed ON the play bills
In larger type than that at the star iu
} the production. Even tho Emperor OF
Germany h. said. wrote "A play and

one could Imagine that Ben Jonson
would permit Shakespeare tn have the .

There Is not note In the gamut Of |
human passions which has not been
struck by the master hand from the
towering ambition of the King to the
first faint luttering of love In the
maiden's heart What matter II all his
plays are not the creatures of the inn
aginauon of Shakespeare. lie took the |
dramas of the Italians aud gave them
life and vitality. And the lessons they |
teach. and how delicately they are |
brought out While telling fascinat-
ing story there runs through the entire
woof the thread of the lesson" Mr..
Warde said Shakespeare was an apostle
of Christianity. According TO the count
made by long-term prisoner In the
state prison of Connecticut, the name
OF God and mercy appear In the works
or the poet 931 times. and no single
character In the entire list of plays that
does not. I'M his extremity, appeal to
God for help. This brought Mr. Warde
To illustrations, ana he first took Henry
Will making the great character OF
Wolsey stand out like IA cameo. He
said Shakespeare showed no trace OF
sectarianism though living In the time
when there was high feeling over the
church, but breathed through all his
works the spirit of charity for all.
Woisey's great speech when stripped
of honors and wealth Farewell, a
long farewell" was read with care
and deep expression and the colloquy
with Cromwell was Just as brilliantly
done.
From this Mr.. Warde went on
through several parts. the prayer of
Henry V before the French army, that
OF Richmond on the eve of Bosworth
held. ana the deeply touching appeal
of the King In Hamlet" all read with
freedom which turned new lights
upon the actor with each recital and
recitation.
Leaving this side OF the teachings of
the master, Mr.. Warde took up Polo
mus speech to Laertes as an example
or the philosophy. and the words OF
cassie In "Othello," "Oh, that man
should put an enemy into his mouth TO
steal away his brains" as an evidence
or his great care for the sobriety of
the people. Mr.. Warde then told n
story about the late President McKin-
ley saying that on "A visit two years
AGO the chief executive asked If he
played Henry VIII" saying that II
was the motto of his own life: Let
all thy ends thou aim'st at be thy
country's thy Gods and Truth" Now
that the President had passed away
the victim of the assassin, he thought
the quotation might well be ended as
closes it.
Ihat Shakespeare was unhappily
married could not be, he said, for 9th
efwise ne could not have peopled his ',
pages WIN the galaxy OF beautiful ,
women He spoke of Mrs. Jameson's j
DOCK on the women of Shakespeare and !
sa'u 'hat student had placed Portia at 9
the mead of the list as the most per- G
fectly womanly woman. With naivet. !
Mr.. Warde told the story of Portia and
gave the speeches of the collomuy he
tween Portia and Nerissa, and finally !
between the heroine and the three suit :
DIS ending with Bassanio. During this 4
passage he evoked applause which rung +
when he said the speech of the Prince u
d morocco was one of the manlies.
u Whlch ne knew and, turning to that c
Portioh OF the house which was filed b
WIN the boys from Kamehameha $
9chooi' sald That they. born under the {
ropiGdl suns, could well say with that a
rrihce' that they bore the Shadow of -
he FURNISHED sun" Down through
he trial scene he went with Portia &
her always as the womanly u
Honan, and saying that her speech TO n
'hylock, THE quality Of mercy is not t,
trained, ETC." was one of the greatest
u all those given to women in the -
,orks.
