STRENUOUS TIMES
CONFRONT SENATE
Statehood Bill to Follow
Ship Subsidy Measure.
LONG DEBATE EXPECTED
Consideration OF Proposition May Con-
tinue Four Weeks, Though bev-
eridge Expresses Confidence

The tentative program in the Senate
now is TO make tha joint Statehood blit
the regular order some time this week.
The steering committee has tacitly
agreed that it shall have the right OF
way as soon as the ship subsidy bin is
voted on Senator GaIlinser, hopes to
get a vote on that bill this week.
With the joint Statehood bill as the
regular order. the managers of the
Senate will have plenty of time TO
work out the rest Of the program. Even
if this bin should not be used as 2
buffer TO keep back other legislation. It
is reasonable to assume that IT will
stay before the Senate for three or four
weeks. Opinions differ as TO what will
happen TO the measure when a vote is
reached.
Beveridge Is Confident.
Senator Beveridge chairman Of the
Committee on Territories. is confident
that it Will pass, while the opponents
of the bill are just as confident that it
cannot pass in its present form.
The talk about the Senate is that IL
the Philippine tariff bill ever gets out

session, so far as the Senate is con-
cerned, viii come over it

ROMEO AND JULIET
ARE MATURE LOVERS
Sound Gravity Marks
Presentation by Soth-
ern and MarloWe.

F. II. Sothern and Julia Marlowe gave
a highly conmendabIe presentation of
the immortal poem of passion. Romeo
and Juliet" at the National last even
ings Although Mr. Sothern and Miss
MarIowe were seen in this play in
washington during their last season s
tour, this fact seemed rather to aug
ment the size OF the audience than
otP-..s5-e.
a Mature Juliet.
Miss Marlowe's Interpretation of the
rCle Of Juliet was somewhat more ma
ture than the usually accepted Shakes
pearean conception. but Juliet, the
woman, was none the less appealing than
Juliet. the girl. would have been In
the balcony scene Miss MaTlowe renders
her lines with a depth of feeling and
passion that is altogether convincing.
Her most effective work. however, was
in the scene in which she drinks the
sleeping potion. So faithfully did she
portray the role of the affrighted woman
with visions of the vault and of her
bloody cousin Tybalt that the scene held
All the virtues Of realism. In the few
lighter scenes Miss Marlowe was most
pleasing. Her face is very expressive
and her smile is contagious. Her grace
and personal charms added much TO her
artistic Interpretation.
Sothern's Rendition Effective
Mr. Sothern delineation of Romeo
denotes careful study and great atten-
ton to detail, His reading OF the fam
Gus passages of the play is particularly
noteworthy in that he divests them of
all unnaturaluess and seeming euphe-
ism. He has overcome a difficulty
which cOnfrOnts all Shakespearean
scholars. but which so few are able TO
surmount. If there is any adverse Criti-
cism to be made Of his work ii is that
his portrayal rather tends too much to-
ward a Hamlet-like gravity. Even in
his happier moments there is a solem-
nifty, which. perhaps, TOO strongly por-
tends the impending gloom. A greater
buovancy of spirit in the FTiaT-s cell al
the celebration Of the marriage rites
would cause the subsequent scenes OF
tragedy and grief 10 stand out more
boldly by contrast.
