This ventilatOr is recent invention, handled by
the Automatic Car VentIlator Company OF No. 80

car every sixty ninety seconds is claimed for It,
The device is simple. Between each pair of the
ordinary window ventilators the side Of the

vertical sheets of steel perpendicular TO the side or
the car, back TO back and curv1nS away from
each other at the ends. The openings contain hOrl

1t would be idle to anticipate in these
columns or elsewhere Miss GaIland's Use
to eminence on the stage. But it is en-
tirely within the province of a news
paper to note that this embodiment of
Juliet is a dramatic sensation, and thai
upon it alone this wonderful young ac-
tress might rest her claim TO recogRi-
ton as one of the foremost members
of the English-speaking stage.
The Llebler company might well find
lesson in the contrast. Not only
was their Juliet, chosen from the
whole field of American actresses,
surpassed by another 10 whom they
gave little thought, but their COM
pany, which seemed to be in prospect al
most an ideal organization, found It's
match in another company organized at
less cost and with less pretense. Char
acter for character the balance is IN
favor of the Galland company. Yet this
is an organization of supporting actors

REVEALS Of Shakespeare.
Mrs. Fiske, Nat Goodwin, Viola Allen
and Others Plan Productions
BY FRANK }. wILsTACH.

Every once in a while a pesky peda-
gogue or a lumpy- minded litterateur
lets forth a lugubrious wall over the
absence of Shakespeare on the English
and American stage.
1t is periodically contended by these
persons that theatrical managers and
actors are constantly dragging the
drama in the mire; that with myriad
OF great plays at hand these wretched
myrmidons of the drama seek out theat-
rio slush tubs, which serve no other
purpose than to qualm the mental stom-
achs Of the wise.
Mistakes of "Harper's."
This has happened in an article in a
late number of ''Harper's Weekly"
headed Shakespeare and the Theater' -
The author of this absurd and thorough
ly inaccurate lucubration opens his til
rade on the English and American actor
and manager with the following mani
fest falsehood: Shakespeare plays
We're written for the theater, and sur
vive for the library. This is the truth. -
But this is not the truth.
At no time during the past hundred
years has Shakespeare been SO popular
with playgoers. both in England and
America, as during the present time, as
the past season discloses.
Presented by Stars.
Richard Mansfield has enjoyed a
stupendous success with Julius
Caesar" Edward H. Sothern has been
equally prosperous with his presentation
Of Hamlet and Messrs Frederick
Warde and Louis James have reaDed a
rich harvest with their truly fine por-
travail of THE Tempest" R. F. Nc
Lain and Odette Tyler and Creston
Clarke have continued their tours with
success in Shakespearean repertoire, and
stock companies over the country have
found that patrons prefer Shakespeare
TO some of the popular. modern plays.
Why, with one stock company the re-
ceipts for Hamlet exceeded those en-
joyed by Hall Gaines Christian" So
it is that what the "Harper's Weekly
writer Droclaims to be the truth is
not the truth at all, but an egregious
misstatement of fact.
This writer says further: IF we.
whose poet he is, want Shakespeare, we
must take him in the corner Of our
libraries 1t is very evident then that

alive he was ridiculed by critics exactly
as Mr. Sothern and Mr.. Mansfield and
other Shakespearean actors are today.

An announcement of great interest to
theatergoers is that Miss Viola Allen
will next season appear as Viola in a
very magnificent production of Shake
speares delightful comedy. Twelfth
Night
Miss. Allen has a sentimental reason
for the choice of this play. The char

Much Misinformation.
When the writer speaks of the total
disappearance OF Shakespeare from the
English-speaking stage" and when he
tells US that the English or American
actor is incapable of giving us Snakes
peare," he simply states an untruth Ia
il that Sir Henry Irving. in England. is
unworthy of appearing in Shakespeare:
that Miss Terry is such a woeful Port:a
and a Ditiful Beatrice: that Mr. Tree ;
productions have been irregular and
slouchy, or that Mr.. Benson's or Mr.
Greet's companies have. as this writer
insinuates, slaughtered the text OF
Shakecae2re.''

formed newspapers over the country
have been imposed upon by this wricer

The Transcript" editorial also states
tbst the writer in the Weekly is bit
ter in his thoughts of the present day
standards of choice shown by American
managers and American public which
result in practically banishing from the
stage the plays OF Shakespeare and
consequently the school that might train
up in time another intelligent band OF
actors to revive the memory of Booth -
The writer is probably as unaware OF
