William Shakespeare wrote his great
comedy, which is likewise one of his
greatest dramatic achievements, and
entitled it 1.-The Merry Wives of Wind
sor." Louis James, in a number or
days not recorded and TO please every
one who may see him, has taken this
same merry comedy from the book
shelf, diversed it OF parts that we're
somewhat strong and salacious for
even these present-day audiences,
and retained all that is comparative
y inoffensive, by all of which the
great bard's comedy has not suffer-
ed. Used as even we are to problem
play heroines patterned from the scar
let woman and the more than sug-
gestion of abandon that is presented
night after night in song dance and
costume of the Tighter" amusements,
the original writing or 1.-The Merry
Wives Of Windsor would utterly
seandalize a 1907 audience. But the
James version is another matter-it
is clear enough for the most finicky
taste the shocking situations elimi-
mated or modified yet all the brilliant
wit and sparkling converse of the
great dramatist remains.
