astonished to hear that in repertory
companies of good standing nothing is
so successful as Shakespeare. But you
know where the proof of the pudding
is. and can give you half dozen in
stances of successful Shakespe
productions at random. Percy Haswell
played Romeo and Juliet in Minneap-
oils recently and broke all financial rec
ords Of the theater; Midsummer
Nights Dream ran for three weeks in
Kansas City, an unusually long engage
ment for anything in stock; and as

by the way lead me to the opinion that
we are shortly to have widespread re-
vival of Shakespeare. There is a new
generation rising who have never seen
Booth and Forrest. but who have read
and studied and appreciate the greatest
dramatist.
But to get back, it has been noted
that the presence Of a permanent COM
pany in a city is of benefit to the other
theaters. This is particularly notice
able in the sale of the lower priced
seats. For this and other reasons many
of the metropolitan managers, among
the number Charles and Daniel Froh-
man. are in hearty sympathy with the
development OF that branch Of theat-
rical enterprise. so much so that they
have recently made numerous conces-
sions to the advantage Of the stock
managers. One of these is the elimina-
ton of the touring of the second and
third companies, which formerly Gov
cred everything in sight and the sub
stitution of special companies under
other management, which are restricted
to the cities where there are no stock
companies.
Many or the best stock companies
have outgrown that name and under
taken original productions. and it IS
here. unless I am much mistaken, that

grumbling on and reaching after those
hooks. At first she aimed at them and
jumped UP. trusting to good luck to
land her frocks upon them. This went
on three months, and still she did not

It next occurred to her to keep on
reaching up to see how many Of the
faraway hooks she could get at in

ested her. At length she found that
somehow she was able to stretch up
with the great muscles of her chest and
shoulders till she could hang things on
nearly every one of the lofty pegs with
out standing upon chair.
She had not thought of improving her
figure in this way. But after she had

boundary line between Alaska and Canada
the main question being whether it runs
across the inlets or arms of the sea-for it
must be remembered the Alaskan coast is
somewhat similar to the coast Of Norway
or whether it runs around them.
The Canadian contention is that 1t cuts
across, leaving the United States with lot
or isolated rocky promontories. Our con-
tention is that the line runs around all
heads of 1nlets and therefore gives Canada
no access to the ocean.
