love tale Of the long ago.. Dowden
found the first allusion to the quarrels
Of the Montagues and the Capulets,
and the love tale, in literature of the
year 1903, but the. story, as we know
It, does not appear earlier than the
time Of Luigi da Porte, who wrote
about the year 1880. Gherardo Boil
diero, and Bandallo, told the tale, and
from Pierre Boisteau it came to Eng
land, to Arthur Brooke, who, in 1863,
produced long metrical version found
ed upon B0isteau' s. novel. There was
a, prose translation by Poynter, about
the same time, and it is in these
sources that SHAKESPEARE found the story,
upon which he turned the fire of his
genius. reducing it from crudity to
perfection. '~,'=- r.. ,'''. 81.
Mr.. .Sothern plays his Romeo with
ability and great feeling Tho he
reaches no new heights of achievement,
IN some passages he is very great. To
those who have followed his career,
his Romeo. may mot appear as repre-
sentative Of his capabilities in the full
as other characters he has portrayed.
a flaw in his work, nor would adverse
criticism stand, save only that there
is about his Romeo something less of
tenderness in love and of dreamy ro-
manticism than is associated with the
character. Against this there is his
fine interpretation Of the Romeo Of the
introduction, the impressionable nature
groping vaguely for love and sympathy
and ready for the capitalization which
comes at sight Of Juliet. |
In the stirring passages. Mr.. Sothern
us f1ne and his personality seems to
pervade, for the performance goes with
v1gor. The encounter in the square
and the killing Of Mercutio were
All the characters were acceptable,
but special mention is due Mr.. Lewis
for as fine Mercutio as ever appeared.
!. Miss sMarlowe's Juliet is a delight.
The coming to her Of the wonderfully
sweet, yet to her immature nature, ter
| rifying feeling Of love, and her transit
ton from glrlhOod to womanhood were
affected with great skill. Her love
grows in her, from the first emotion,
until it becomes that great love which
Emerson says - transmutes every
thread of the whole relationship into a
| golden ray and bathes the soul in new
and sweeter element.
Miss Marlowe's exquisite personal
charm, was never more effectively
brought out than in her scene with her
father, and her despair upon his an
| nouncement of. his determine ton !. to
give her In marriage to Paris Several
passages not ordinarily considered as Of
the stronger ones, were wonderfully
effective, the sweet simplicity of the
characterization winning the audience.
There was a keen appreciation of
the good work and repeated curtain
calls for both Miss Marlowe and Mr..
Sothern. II. E. N.

THE SO7EzERN-MARLOWE.-
ENGAGEMENT AT AN END
Evening-"T Merchant off, venjce ,,

Evening" The Merchant Of, Venice.,'
It is not often that a Minneapolis
peated cries Of "bravo,' but as the
curtain fell on the great court scene Of
The Merchant of Venice, last even
ing, the cheers rang above the thun-,
derous applause. To be sure, they
changed to an insistent demand from
the Unsuitable gallery for a speech,
which Miss Marlowe and Mr.. Sothern
answered with only gracious courtesy.
1t was their farewell as syndicate stars,
for when they come to Minneapolis
again they will be under independent
management, nonunion, if you will.
: Miss Marlowe and Mr.. Sothern are
seemingly in. favor Of gliding the lily,
play marvellous setting. Every arti-
fee of the master of stagecraft, every
accessory that history or tradition
would permit, are there, the whole form
ing wonderful succession of pictures:
But the gorgeousness and :pomp only
serve to accentuate the terrible loneli-
ness of the central figure, the Jew.
The burden of the play falls on Mr..
Sothern, and right royalty does he carry
it. His conception Of the character is
overwhelmingly realistic. Perhaps it
is not subtle, in that it appeals more to
the sympathies than to the brain, yet
it has strength, a directness that car
ries it even into the scenes in which the
Jew does not appear. His eyes glitter
with evil, his face is lit with a sinister
smile, his whole bearing tells the smol-
dering hate he bears not only to the
merchant Antonio, but. to all Gentiles,
and it breaks into flame when he is
robbed not only Of his money but. his
daughter. He would revenge a thou
sand prosecutions, the oppression of
centuries, and yet thru his fierce hate
there is a dignity and purpose that car
ries his audience with him when with
faltering steps he leaves the courtroom,
an outcast from his people, hated even
by himself. Mr.. Sothern g. splendid
characterization is married only by an
occasional lapse in the Yiddish dialect,
which he does not use consistently. u
Miss Marlowe is very gracious,
winsome Portia, at her best in the scene
where Bassanio makes his choice Of the
casket, when she shows a delicious
womanliness, and again in that merry
last act when she teased Bassanio in
regard to the ring with such. charming
wilfulness and abandon. The court
scene was given with gentle dignity and
she spoke the mercv' lines with con-
vincing simplicity. S
The support was excellent, each mem
Der was worthy of commendation and
the large audience was not .chary of be
slowing its appreciation. r. R. 5.

nine Professors
MAY Get PENSIONS
CARNEGIE FOUNDATIONS AFFECTS
Il. STATE UNIVERSITY.
Members of Faculty Including Presi-
dent Northrop Are Eligible to Retire
I on Pay Ranging from $4,000 to $500
Year-None Is Likely to Accept
Provisions. . -- -

Under the rules recently. adopted by
the trustees Of the Carnegie Founda-
Etion. nine University Of Minnesota pro-
ifessors, now actively engaged in work
at the university, would be- entitled to
the benefit Of the fund should they dis
continue their. college work. The, an
nouneement that pensions would only
be. given to professors who had been
thirty years in. active service barred all
but six of the university faculty, but
the action of the trustees in removing
the thirty-year limit - qualities three
more, and Minnesota now has a list of
nine teachers who may at any time re-
tire from active service and receive the
benefits Of the Carnegie endowment.
Roll of Honor.
Under the system announced for the
dispensation- Of the fund the following
members Of the Minnesota faculty are
eligible: President Cyrus Northrop, DR..
W. W. Folwell, Professor Maria San
ford, Professor Jabez Brooks, Professor
John g. Moore, Dean Henry Eddy,
Professor Arthur Haynes, Professor
John Hutchinson, Professor John Clark.
In administering the Carnegie mill,
ions the board Of trustees has created
two classes of professors entitled to the
benefit Of the fund. The frst-class in
cludes those who are IS years of age,
who have seen not less than fifteen years
e ef aeGe ssrDse and d are es soy
a member of the Minnesota faculty is
eligible under this ruling.
The second-class includes those who
have served twenty years, regard
less of age, and it is under this division
that the nine Minnesota instructors are
eligible. The retiring allowance under
this division is as follows: for active
pay of $1,000 or less, $500; for active
pay greater than ST. 800, allowance shall
equal $500, increased by $40 for each
800 Of active pay in excess Of $1,000.
No dreetiring allowance shall exceed
What They Will Receive. 49,.
Under these provision the nine Min
nesota professors would be entitled to
the following amounts should they re-
tire from active service: President
Professor Sanford, $3.50; Professor
Brooks, $500; Professor More, $1,120;
Dean Eddy, $1,000; Professor Haynes,
$1,120; Professor Hutchinson, 5000:
Professor Clark, $3.50.
The decision of the Carnegie trustees
to limit the widows of college profess
sors in the pension lists Of the fund will
haev no effect at Minnesota, as no pro-
fessor entitled to the benefit of the
foundation has died since April l6,
1905, the: date of the establishment of
the fund and the date chosen by Mr..
Carnegie for it's provisions to. go into
effect. -. +,
Whether or not any Of the Minnesota
professors will take advantage of the
Carnegie foundation and retire at the
end sof the year is not known, but as the
nine eligibles are all in good health and
doing valuable work at the university
1t IS possible that the benefits of the
Carnegie foundation will not be felt at
! Minnesota for some time to come

FIRST STEPS TAKEN
TO REDIsTRIcT CITY
SPECIAL COUNCIL COMMITTEE
SOUGHT BY WEsTPHAL.
Consolidation Of the Least Populous
Precincts Proposed and Plans
Laid for Great Saving in Expenses
of Elections-The Vote by Wards in
1904.

At the council meeting Friday even
ing, Alderman G.. A. Westphal proposed
the appointment of committee to
consider redistricting the city with re-
gard to election Districts more i'm
portant matter than appears on the sur
face. Gss
( The election of 1904 cost the tax
payers about $4,000, and large part
of this money went to pay for the sery-
ices Of the regular and special judges
and clerks Of election. The city is
divided into 139 election districts. The
total vote cast in 1904 was 41,97S, an
has been assumed that 400 votes can be
conveniently cared for in one day, but
the third district Of the Thirteenth
ward cast sol votes at the last cleo
ton and no complaints were heard.
There were five districts in which more
than 500 votes were cast. On the other
hand, there were eighteen districts
which cast less than 200 votes each. T.
T The election law provides that when
the vote exceeds 400 in any district, 1T
may be divided. This is not mandatory
and "a division usually has not been
made unless there are other reasons for
ritory. 80
= z Might Be. Consolidated.
It has been suggested that many dis
tricts could be consolidated. This is
particularly true of the river districts
of the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
wards, in which the growth of indus
trial and commercial enterprises and the
extension of railway yards have driven
the population farther out. For in
stance, the seventeenth and eighteenth
districts of the third ward, once popu-
lous, have been reduced in population
| by the encroachments Of the railways
| until at the last election the two COM
bined cast only 2S7 votes, or less than
one-half Of the vote in one district in
the thirteenth ward. The same condi-
tions exist in the lower districts of the
fourth, fifth and sixth wards.
The latter appears to be in need of
some change. The ward has twelve
election districts, and yet it cast less
votes than the first ward with ten dis
tricts and the seventh with only eight
In fact. it cast but few more votes
than the tenth with only six districts,
It is argued that thousands of dollars
could be saved at each election by con-
solidating some of the smaller districts
The saving would amount to upwards
Of $4,000 if the number of districts
was reduced by twenty, and the chances
are that a net reduction OF thirty could
be effected.
