Mr.. Mansfield's Brutus ,

Richard Mansfield began his sumptuous
production of Julius Caesar" in Chicago
the past week ana James O'Donnell Ben
nett, a brilliant writer of The Chicago
Record Herald pays this splendid tribute
to Mr.. Mansheld's conception of Brutus;
"A dark. sinewy figure of man leaned
against the basin OF fountain and smiled
gently. patiently. as he watched the FREQ
men of Rome throw high their caps for
ioy at Caesars triumphal progress.
1T was a smile that was sadder th1u
tears.
The dark figure was very still. The
penetrating gaze took in every aspect of
the scene-the sleek patrician women
borne on filters by black slaves, the gold
en- statue Of Caesar which rose high
above the he.-ds of the multitude, the
pale wasted countenance of Caesar hir-
self shimmering in white and gold, the
suave and gracious Antony whispering
compliments in Caesars ear. the popI-
lace drunk with joy and shouting adu
lation.
Slowly the calm eyes OF the silent man
leaning against the fountain swept the
scene again and again. Once he shifted
his pose slightly to catch a glimpse of
the oncoming ranks of lictors, soldiers
and slaves That was the only move
ment he made for quite three minutes.
He seemed man or, say eight ana
thirty. certainly not more than 40. His
dark waving hair was bound with a
circle of gold. over his tunic and robe
of white was thrown a mantle of duh
red. gold chain bearing medallion
was hung about mis- neck. His naked
forearms were encircled with heavy
bracelets of gold. The muscles of thu
neck. chest and arms stood out boldly.
There was q curious minging of poetic
ardor and physical strength in this
swarthy figure.
THE poetry was in the pensive eyes
the thin, quivering nostrils, the tend 7r
mouth. The strength was in that majes-
tic. statuesque poise OF the motionless
body, in the whipcords o. the arms, in
the sturdy shoulders, which were raised

This dminrtive purveyor of mirth has
succeeded during the several years in
which Kirke La SAalle has been his man
ager, in building up for himself a ellen
tele of admiring friends that is in all
probability as numerically strong and as
Justify loyal as the following that at
tackles to any star On the calendar. Dai-
iels' undeniable gifts in the direction of
creating laughter amounts almost to pog-
tive genius and he combines in that
uniquely unctious personality of his an
assortment of quaint and comical traits
which seem to result not only In easily
making his audiences laugh. hut in Gre

Brutus in sharp staccato.
The audience which crowded the Grand
Opera House realized that Mr.. Mansfield
was on the stage-a fact it had not
grasped while he stood silently at the
fountain side.
The originality which, next to its gen.
tleness, is the prime quality of his Bru-
tus was denoted at the outset by this Gu
rrious and wonderfully effective first emit
rance OF his No murmur of greeting
from the Roman eitizenry heralded that
entrance. No note of recognition from
the leaders of the republic marked his
coming. He fairly stole on the stage. The
audience, which missed his eloquent by
play as he watched Caesars triumph,
cannot be blamed for missing It. The
splendor of the spectacle which was in
progress as he took his stand we'll 20
the rear of the stage was ravishing all
eyes But 1t will be well for those who
dlltHu IuluIt pei tOl IN tiiO
field revival of Shakespeare's Julius
Caesar to mark that first entrance of
Brutus, for in it Mr.. Mansfield strikes
the keynote of his conception of the
part.
THAT keynote is the note of ineffable
pathos This Mansfield Brutus Is the
saddest, sweetest, gentlest creature that
destiny ever played with and then cast
pitiessly aside, Almost never-and then
only so fleetingly that it serves but to
accentuate the more poignantly the BIT
ter sorrow of Brutus' fate-is the note of
exultation sounded. This is not a Brutus
to bring tears to your eyes vile you are
actually watching him in the theater. 1t
will make too severe demands upon your
thinking powers for that. But later, whep
you have pondcred over the noble out
lines of Mr.. Mansfelds reverent study,
you will, L believe, discover the over
whelming pathos of 1t, a pathos which Is
the more Understanding because 1t Is
so serene, so entirely free from hysteria.
There is a phrase, noble grief" ana
the grief of this Brutus lies in It's no
bility. it's emotional chastity. its disdaia
of the easy and immediate methods for
compelling sympathy.
IAN of these phases of Mr.. Mansfield S
conception are intensified by the lavish
ness of the investiture he has given the
play In a way one is surfeted and
daZZled with splendors. The temples the
streets, the interiors of imperial Rome
have been reproduced in massive and
gorgeous scale The blaze of the Italian
sun, the yellow glow of torches, the
fash of lightnings illumines the scenes.
'Pageants, mobs, troops of soldiery,
move across the radiant backgrounds.
But standing out above them all, serene,
pensve, gentle. is the figure of Brutus.
besmirched by no hint OF greed. AMI
and this invariably --saddened by the in
tuition that the great sacrifice will be in
vain. that the beloved people witt cling
to the false gods, and that the end Of
the strife and the suffering will be-
nothing save the setting of an example"

The absence of American types is due 10 the
