The curtain on Julius Caesar will
rise promptly at o'clock. The overture

1t is requested that the audience be in
place for the first curtain, for altho the
stage Is radiant with light, the auditorium
is dark. The story of Julius Caesar"
begins at once, the pageant of the Luper-
cal games is one Of the earliest Incidents,
and Mansfield as Brutus makes his
entrance before the curtain has been up
eight minutes.
Mansf1eld's realization of Julius
Caesar presents the first important Eng
llsh revival at this glorious tragedy seen
In this country in fifteen years. 1t Is
only played when a great Brutus appears,
altho it Is the most popular of all Shaks-
pere's plays. The artist has made the
most effective triumph of his career as the
patrician patriot. He has found in the
role acting values never before exploited
Fine as are the scenes with the con-
spirators in the orchard at night, the
assassination Of julius Caesar in the
senate, the grafton to the mob in the
forum, and the celebrated quarrel scene
with Cassius, It Is after these that Mans
field reaches his climax in the thrilling
encounter with the ghost of Julius Caesar
and later on the cypress wooded plains of
Phillip, when Brutus dies.

is divided into six acts and nine scenes

How often do you, suppose Mansfield
mas been sued?' was q question asked the
other day. No matter. The real ques-
ton, how often are suits decided against
him. Can anyone recall one? A great
deal of noise is made about suits which
are threatened and about an occasional
indeed rare action which comes to trial
They are usually defeated or withdrawn
On the other hand it is boast with
Mansfield that he has never sued an actor
or author for breach of contract, and
many a time he has been left in the lurch
OF Mansfeld's position as an artist
there is no question; but as man no one
has been more generally misrepresented
Those who are nearest him and know him
intimately say he is the most devoted of
fathers, and husbands, generous of
friends, congenial of companions, bounte-
Gus of hosts and charitable Of men. He is
retiring and reticent and ignores the pry-
ing eye Of gossip because he cherishes
the security of his private life and ap-
peals to the suffrage of his great public
