Forbes Robertson's Hamlet

absolutely essential for the ideal Ham

Many actors of the present day, in
portraying Hamlet. have fallen into the
error or adhering too closely 20 the

thereby lose the full poetry and Fathos
of the majestic figure, cloaked ia eter-

There is little that can be said in
praise OF Mr.. Robertson's Hamlet that
is not an old story 10 the public with
which he long ago became the ideal

Courts and Legislation.

Senator Beyeridge, on hearing
that the House Judiciary Committee
had decided that child labor legisia-

unconstitutional, replied by express

Congress- whether legislation was

phrase. for certain ii is that these

As 10 the mooted question OF the
sanity of Hamlet Mr. Robertson's inter

a stimulation Of badness but also that
the princes mind has actually become
