He I'll E A T E R.
Columbia Theater.

A pleasure 1t is to listen to an actor now
and then who steps boldly up to his Shakes
peare and taking him. to to speak. by the
hand, accepts him at his own assurance OF
friendly fellowship with all human kind.
The player like any other art endeayorer,
who starts out on stills is likely to come
home on crutches. Shakespeare Is with
some actors an ambition with Others per-
sonal vanity and with very few fei-
low worker in the task of portrayfng to
humanity humanity's struggles and emo
tions. The first strive honorably and are
esteemed, the second strut and are ridi-
culed, and the third pursue their way
calmly and intelligently and are welcomed
as benefactors. So
Mr.. Forbes Robertson has been seen be-
fore In this city as Hamlet, and any COM
ment on his performance must be little
more than a reiteration of compliment. The
charm of his rendition is hard to analyze.
He is not a handsome man In the fashion
plate sense of the phrase, he is not even
what the matinee vocabulary would desig-
nate as graceful. He expands no sugared
smiles nor affects no mincing poses. He
makes the character a manly one. yet pre-
serves all the delicate sensibility which
makes the struggle of youth with duty; OF
impulse with conscience; of brain with
heart terrible and magnificent conflict.
fine reader of blank verse, Mr.. Rob
ertson permits himself no Evolutionary
vincing because they are reached without
apparent declamatOry artihce.
AS Mr.. Robertson presents 1t the play
might be a modern production, whose title
role he presents with the freedom and con-
fidence of its original creator Scholar
ship is not Haunted ostentationsly and for
biddingly. The odor of midnight oil does
not pervade it. That the traditions of the
play are familiar to Mr. Robertson Is evil
dent. He does not strive for pedantic eluci-
dation at the expense of sympathetic inter-
no monotonous cadence, but seems to flow
forth as the natural expression of a Gull
tivated man, whose mentality is spurred by
great feeling. One of the most fascinating
traits of Mr. Robertson's Hamlet Is the
characters youthfulness. Somber it Is, but
not souless. An occasional smile plays
through it, to lend contrast to the melan-
choly into which an unhappy chance has
flung a delicately organized nature. His
performance is great. not because of its
vehemence of demonstration. although this
but because of it's serene intellectually and
complete sincerity.
The scenic treatment of the play is liberal
and beautiful. Some fine perspectives are
presented in the outdoor settings, and the
court scenes display studies in architecture
and costuming which lend plausibility as
well as picturesqueness to the portrayal.
Miss Kate Rorke has the role of Ophelia,
a part which calls upon an actress to de-
vote her best powers to work which can
inspire very little higher interest than that
of commissioning curiosity. Miss Rorke
played the part with artistic discernment
The part of the King was played by Mr..
Ian Robertson, and that of PoIonius by Mr..
Giles Shine.

To Use Fire Shutters.

Within a short time all the windows of
No. ii engine house on 18th street, which
contains the Districts fire alarm headquar-
tiers, will be covered with fire shutters.
Commissioner mcfarland has been endeav-
oring for a long time TO secure the funds
with which to protect this engine house. 1t
is surrounded by buildings of infiammable
material and since the telephone and fire
alarm systems of the District are in the
building II is considered desirable that ev-
cry precaution should be taken to protect
II as far as possible from fires in surround
ing structures.
The money for the purchase of fire shut
tiers Will be drawn from the repair fund
Heretofore the urgent need of repairs on
other fire department buildings has made
II necessary to defer the placing of fire shut

Residence Destroyed BY Fire.

The residence Of Mr.. Bruce Gutridge in
upper Westmoreland county, Va was to-
tally destroyed by fire few days ago. The
fire started in detached kitchen from a.
stove. and the flames from this building
set the dwelling house on fire. Owing to
the bucket chain, used in drawing water
from the well, breaking, no water could be
obtained to put on the fire, or the dwelling
might have been saved. An entertainment
was being held by colored people a short
distance away from the fire and they came
to the assistance of Mr. Gutridge and re-
moved all the furniture from the house
and took off the doors and windows before
the building burned. The amount of loss
is not known.
