DOUBTS ABOUT THE LATEST
SHAKESPEARE FIND.


ly stirred by the discovery, says the
Literary Digest, of what is perhaps
the earliest known portrait of Shake
speare or what purports to be one.
painted at the age of twenty-four,
Portraits of Shakespeare are as
thick as blackberries," as one writer
remarks, in some parts of England,
and if they are all genuine the bard of
Avon must have spent so much time
posing for his portrait that the Won
der is that he had time for anything
else Doubts about the genuiness Of
this latest find are based on the OBJ
lection that he would not likely be
rich enough or famous enough at
twenty-four to have his portrait paint
ed. Mr.. M. H. Spielman, the we'll
known art critic, seems to take it
seriously, however, and Mr.. G. K.
Chesterton, in The Illustrated Lon
don News, disposes of the objection
in way evidently satisfactory to his
conscience as critic of art. He says:
at is very interesting to learn
that they have found Shakespeare's
portrait in a tavern, especially as that
is very much the place where they
would have found Shakespeare.
have no knowledge, nor even any
comprehension, of the subtle and min
ute methods by which gentlemen who
are art experts are enabled to say
apparently for certain what such
portrait is; but certainly there is
nothing at all unreasonable in the idea
of Shakespeare's being painted
by some early admirer of his
on the panel of an inn, or in
Shakespeare's sitting still to have 1t
painted, so long as they gave him beer

a doubt has been raised about the
probability of such an episode, and

doubt was raised in the interests Of
the Shakespeare School.
suppose that this particular Baconian
thought that all portraits of Shakes
peare ought to be portraits of Bacon;
and if they weren't, why then they
weren't portraits of Shakespeare.
There seems to be something little
MKT in this line of thought; but l
have no time to unravel it now. In
any case, what the Baconian said
about the new portrait was this:
Does it seem very likely that the raw
country youth who, practically PEN
niless and burdened with a wife and
three children, joins band of stroll
ling players in 1887, and is heard OF
the year after as earning a precarious
living outside the theatre doors, and
who, not until four years later

By the time Attorney Delmas fin

1t is not quite clear whether Mr..

ing caused by the railroads, the liars

The Charleston News and Courier

The trouble about that, is that he

Mrs. Foraker denies that she aspires

Senator Cullom announces that he

whether he was quoted correctly, a
