aters render unattSinable. It Is the
realism Of the actual event. at which
the audience assists, not the realism
of scene to which the audience Is
transported by the painters skill, and
in which the actor plays a somewhat
subordinate part.
The Elizabethan dramatist's freedom
with time and space was justified by
conditions which left so much to the
imagination. There can be no doubt
that Shakespeare in the composition OF
his plays could not have contemplated
the introduction Of scenic accessories
Mr. Greet believes It fortunate that
Shakespeare, in the composition of his
plays, could not have contemplated the
introduction Of scenic accessories; he
could the more readily raise his public
up to his point of view. as their
thoughts were not constantly distract
ed by the outward decorations and sub
ordinate details which in our day SO
dramatic work, which are no real help
unless the author render them neces-
sary by the poverty of his text.
Elizabethan presentations of Shake
speares plays have become quite fa-
niliar performances in England, where
the Elizabethan Stage society of Lon
don and Zen Greet have both done
notable work. In this country 1t is

Greet gave Twelfth Night and "Mer-
chant of Venice" in New York and
Boston with great success, and he has

the country generally in the Eliza

this fashion has not only pleased the
critical but it has drawn the public III

tune Teller" there was member Of the
chorus who was Bavarian. Both
Frank Perley, the manager, and cav
thorn noticed at the rehearsals of the
play that his natural manner of speech
was the most peculiar dialect possi-
BILE to conceive. It had a roll and a
rattle which could not be denied and
even in his singing it was so pro-
nounced that II took long time for
the company to become used to Il with
out laughing to that extent as to inter-
fere with the discipline Of the COM
pany. Cawthorn paid attention to It
and his present dialect is based upof
that of the Bavarian.
When the understudies were selected
for "The Fortune Teller" the Bavarian
was hit upon by Perley as the under
study for Cawthorns part, more on ao.
count of his natural dialect than any
histrionic ability. This man was am
bilious, avariciously so. From the mo-
ment he was selected as Cawthorn' 8
understudy he watched him like a
hawk, constantly asking him how he
felt. and whenever the comedian was
on the stage the Bavarlan stood in the
entrances with his eye upon him and
an expression upon his face as If he

dent to occur. Cawthorn is a pretty

night came when Cawthorn felt so very
i'll that he informed Manager Perley
that he would try to pull through the
performance, but IL he did not improve
the next day he would not be able to
play the next night. With this in view
the Bavarian was notified and an un-
derstudy rehearsal called for the next
morning.
At this rehearsal the mans dialect
was excruciatingly funny and it must
be understood that It was his natural
mode of speech, his English being
nearly unintelligible. From the time
of the finish of the rehearsal the un-
derstudy became very important, went
to Cawthorns hotel three or four times
to inauire the state OF his health. and
when the comedian told him 1t would
be impossible to appear that night,

derstudy's eyes. The Bavarian then

Shakespeare Without Scenery

Ben Greet argues for Shakespeare as
Shakespeare wrote it, the play, the
whole play, and nothing but the play.
No juggling of scenes to obtain "big
curtain" for the star, no cutting and
slashing to fit the requirements of the
actors limitations, no wealth of pro
duction" to divert the spectators at
tention from the matter at hand. And
Mr.. Greet has the courage of his con-
Victions, since for several years his
company has been presenting the plays
of Shakespeare in the Eizabethan
manner, and 1t is an undisputed fact
that the great public rather likes the
innovation, If it can be called such,
while your true Shakespearean student
is simply carried away with It,
There are, the producer says,
many advantages in the Elizabethan
mode Of presentation. The stage is
simply set. the scene representing the
theater or hall where the play was or
iginally performed, and this one scene
remaining, Of course, throughout the
entire action of the play. Attention is
thus concentrated on the actor, with
whose movements, boldly defined
against simple background, nothing
interferes. The stage is built out into
the auditorium, which brings the ac-
tion into more intimate relation with
the audience, and gives a special kind
of realism which the vast distance and
