JULIUS CAESAR" TONIGHT

II will be a source of pleasure to the
students of Shakespeare, to learn that
the distinguished tragedian Frederick
Warde, will present that sublime tragic
play. Julius Caesar" tonight at the
Opera House. 1t was first published in
1923, but the date in which Shakes
peare is supposed to have written II,
variously stated by Shakespearean
writers. According to Malone, it could
net have appeared before 1907. Though
II must have been acted before 1903.
Knight tone OF the leading authorities)
believes 1t to be one OF the latest works
of Shakespeare while Craik comes to
the conclusion that II "can hardly be
assigned TO a later date than the year
1907. but there is nothing to prove
that II may not be of considerably
earlier date" White infers from the
style that II was probably brought out
between 1906 and 1908. Gervinus de-
cides that II was composed before 1903.
about the same time as Hamlet" and
he adds that this is confirmed not only
by the frequent external references tn
Caesar which We find in Ham
let but still more by the inner rela-
tions of the two plays More recently
tin his folio edition of Shakespeare
1860 Halliwell has shown that 1t was
written lin or before the year 1901.
However, be this as IL may, there is nc
question but that Shakespeare appears
to have derived his materials for this
play, from Sir Thomas NOrth's version
of PlutarCh's Lives TRANSLATED from
the French by Amyop first published
in 1879, from the best authorities 1t Ii
stated that he followed this source
| closely, not only in the main incidents
| but often in the minutest details of the
action. Gervinus in writing of "Ju
Illus Caesar" said in part: the fidelity
of Shakespeare to his source justifie:
us in saying that he has but copied th'
historical text. II is at the same tim'
wonderful with what hidden and al
most undiscernible power he has con
verted the text into q drama, and mad
one of the most effective plays possible
| Nowhere else has Shakespeare execut
ed his task with such simple skill
combining his dependence on histor,
with the greatest freedom OF poeti
plan. and making the truest history. a
once the freest drama"
Mr.. Warde will enact his famous ere
alton. Marc Anthony, which Charles D
Herman plays Brutus, and Barr!
tombstone, Cassius. These are thu
strong parts OF the play, and 1t Il
doubtful II these characters have eve
been better played at any time. Mr.
warde brings a magnificent scenic PRO
duction, especially gotten up for thi
classic revival. The Mountebank" 1
