shrine OF the Press club were astound-
ed at the versatility displayed To
think for n moment OF Harry Culmer
having spent several decades OF life

Perish the thought His work in that
role last night places him for all time
I'm the front ranks of hstronic fame.
Besides, he was really handsome. Here
tofore divers persons of questionable
taste have entertained that idea. Now
the whole city knows II. And whoever
heard Of q Hamlet before who could
talk Danish, Dutch and English at the
same time? 1t was simply marvellous.
And what matters 1t, that he had some
of the other mobiles putting off to the
woods for cues that lac failed to give
and for climaXes that even Race Whit

scent? This is the license Of star,
and through all the future Harry is
star of magnitude. Long may his light
shine.
Romeo-John Spehoer's Romeo-It is
simply indeseribable. That balcony
scene with Juliet--John Critcnlow's
Juliet should be copyrighted before
the going down OF another sun. The
royalty on that bit of work would so
far discount the writing of life insur-
ance policies and the running Of
municipal recorders Office, as revenue
maker, that comparison disappears at
the thought of 1t. And the dead drunk
dead wife poison bromo-seltzer scene
Is one that Lincoln J. Carter will yet
make fortune out of unless II Is forth
with nailed down. For pure unaduter-
ated comedy-melodrama It is destined
TO take a high place IN the profession
Of bodybuilding.
Mr. Chitchlows Juliet was a dream
OF certain sort Her appearance, was
the signal for scream that seldom
diminished while she was on the stage
her dress was stunnlng-if massive. and
her death scene so impressive that pee
Pile were too panied TO applaud.
Tod Goodwin's Ophelia had at least
one bright spot. That was the ballet
dance I'm the first act. which he did like
a veteran. But as TO the rest Of it.
II the original Opheia was anything
like her young twentieth century coun-
terpart and the fact could be estab-
lished, the question OF Hamlet's sanity
or insanity would easily be settled for
ever. Certainly no lover has had greater
justification for going mad than that
which the peroxide princess furnished
poor Harry Culmer.
william A. Lieblen did Shylock And
how he did him! Kenneth Kerrs Po-

tells you his was cleverly per-
formed role. Horatio--Geo II. Carpen-
ter. Both spoken in the same breath. Ii
the latter had lived in the days OF the
former and had been the real Horatlo,
IL is clear that success would have fol-
lowed in his footsteps But seriously,
Mr. Carpenter looked his part and act
ed IL, too while his English accent ana
fine figure were much admired.
Race Whitney, the Ham Shows Sher-
lock Holmes, author and actor-hs poll
ished work has cast large, long ana
lasting shadow on the regulations OF
such men as Gillette. The way he had

critical junctures Of the production

the position of city detective
II is not improbable that Alan Lovey,
had he been a Roman, would have been
a Caesar; 80 true to the character typi-
fed was he that friends today notified
several New York Shakespearean man
ayers of his big hit. 1t Is given out that
he will make no more cartoons and that

stage.
There was one man who never failed
TO score last night when he came on the
stage. He was Angus Nicholson, who
for probably the first time In the his
tory Of the world made Mark Antony a
brave and brawny Scot. Besides he
put into his mouth an accent that
would have made a native Highlander
green with envy. His imitation OF
Sothern. too, was excellent, and was
Justly applauded
An announcement will be forthcoming
IN the course OF a few days. Ii will be

Messrs Il. c. Penrose and ]. c. Roylo
made a couI lie of as gruesome and cap-
able prOyedriggers as could be eDund
r. any land and their friends regretted
that thoy had so little TO do. The n Oh

alone worth the price OF admission, Mr.,
Grahams song was most artistic, and
the work of Mr.. Chrlstensen's dancers
and the four skeleton tumblers was
highly applauded Everything went
with dispatch and the final curtain fell
at 1920 o'clock.
