that will be given has been prepared by
Mr.. Robertson himself from the Cambridge
and Variorum editions Of Shakespeare In
his arrangement of the scenes he has con-
fined the action exclusively to the Castle
of Elstnore, thus avoiding much as pos
sibe a change of scene, and also allows
more scope and freedom of movement to
the characters. The production Is Identical
ly the same used by Mr.. Robertson dur
ing his successful run of Hamlet in Lon
don two years ago, MeSSrS. k1aw Il Err
LANCER having brought the equipment over
intact, together with all the properties,
armor, costumes and accessories. Mr..
Robertson presents Hamlet a perfectly
sane man, thereby differing from the Ham,
let's given by others. At the opening of
the play he finds himself surrounded by
some terrible situations, which would most
certainly unnerve any ordinary being. Ham
let is further shocked at his fathers death,
and wounded by his mothers marrying
again so quickly. He suspects foul play,
and is convinced of it by the appearance
of the ghost. These troubles and this en-
vronment have wrought him up to an
ecstasy of horror, and his sensitive nature
for the moment is thrown all awry But
Mr.. Robertson does not permit doubt
amid all this mental stress, as to Hamlets
sanity.
Mr. Ian Robertson will be seen as the
king, Miss Madge Mcintosh as the queen,
and Miss Kate Rorke, recently seen here
in Love and the Man as Ophelia. Others
in the company are Mr.. Leon Quarter
main, Mr.. Giles Shine. Mr.. Harry NJ.
Blake, Mr.. Frank Gilmore and Mr.. S.
Thompson.

rendered by Helen MCGOWAN. All the men,

the separate parts assigned them in the

surprises is the ''hold-up' of the stage

Tombstone Says e4e Years Old.

From the Philadelphia Record
One of Germantown's old graveyards con-
tains a tombstone on which is most IN
usual inscription. 1t is as follows: Sacred
to the memory of William Uxley. Died
Dec o. 1922, aged $40 years" How any
person could have attained such an extra
ordinary age many have wondered, but the
problem has at last been solved. The dead
man was forty-nine years of age, but when
the stonecutter did the work he made Mr..
Uxley ninety-four by mistake. Marble was
expensive In those days, and although the
stone seemed to be ruined by the error. the
tradesman did not feel like casting 1t aside
After the ninety-four he cut nine, and
then filed In the first nine with plaster,
leaving the age, forty-nine, as required. The
ravages of time and weather have laid bare
the work as 1t was originally, and now
the tombstone proclaims William Uxley to
have been $40 years of age.
