Work with a Will,

We are not sent into this world to
do anything into which we cannot put
our hearts. We have certain work to
do for our bread and that is to be
done strenuously; other work to do
for our delight and that is to be done
heartily; neither is to be done by
halves or shifts, but with a will; and
what is not worth this effort is not
to be done at all.-John Ruskin.

An Eco Hint.

To prevent hard-boiled eggs (for sal

dark color, place them when taken out
of the boiling water in basin of cold
water for few minutes. This will not

will render them much more Easy to

Beerbohm Tree as Shylock

Last week III London Mr. Beerbohm
Tree produced "The Merchant of
Venice before IA crowded house at
His Majesty's theater, and in essay
ing the character of Shylock for the
first time, he added one more to his
already long list of histrionic tri-
umphs, and joined the small. but Sc
lect band of great actors who have
made Shylock man imbued with hui
man feelings. There is no imposing
character in all the Shakespearean
plays which has been more misrnder-
stood or more basely interpreted than
that of Shylock Tradition has had
great deal to do with such misrepre-
sentation: but gradually the barriers
of prejudice are breaking and people
are beginning to realize that Shake
spears intended Shylock to be man
and not a brute.

THE WISH OUTLOOK

The question Is often asked who was
the prototype of ShylOck. Dramatic
historians, and foremost among them
Mr.. Sidney Leo, are of opinion that
the original of Shylock was Rodrigo
Lopez, the Jewish physician of Queen
Elizabeth, who was burned at the
stake at Tyburn. 1t is more than
probable that this incident was re-
sponsible for Henslowe producing the
"Venesyon Comedy" in 1894, th'
year of Lopez's death. The time was
ripe for an outburst of intolerance
against the Jews (who, by the bye.
were not allowed to settle in England
for more than half ii century later)
and the "Venesyon Comedy "The
jew" and Marlowe's ''Jew of NAL
ta' were seized upon as excellent OPP
portunities by an enterprising mana
ger like Henslowe to crafty the pub
lie taste. 1t was to cOunteract this
anti-Semitic feeling in the theater
that Shakespeare wrote the "Mer-
chant of Venice" and made Shylock
the predominating character. 1t
should be remembered that Shake
speare and HenslOwc were dramatic
rivals at the Globe and NewingtOn
theaters. and in 1898 Shakespeare
produced the play, which was entered
mt the Stationers' company as /
Book of the Marchaunt of Venyce,
Otherwise called the Jew of Ven
ycc.'
If Shakespeare had most humane
feelings as regards Shylock. it is cer-
tain that the actors who played the
part thought differently. Richard
Burbage. England s great Roscius.
was the first Shylock. and. arrayed in
red wig and red beard, made the
part laughing-stock for the multi.
tude. He was followed some years Ia
ter by Doggett (whose fame is still;
kept alive by the annual race for Dog
gett s badge among the young Thames
watermen). who turned the piece irto
farce. and the "red hair d Jew re-
mained tradition of the stage for 4
century and half. until Charles
Macklin. in 1741. revolutioniZed this
traditional idea, and electrified the
town by making Shylock a highly
wrOnged man, who suffered intense
prosecutions. Il pathetic character
robbed of his daughter and posses
sions. filed with all the human attri-
butes Macklin further portrayed the
part in black wig and beard,
and Jews certainly owe great
debt of gratitude to the famous
actor who had dared so much
from feeling of justice 1t was said
at the time that Macklin s Shylock
shook the hearts of the people, where
Doggett's used to shake their sides.
After the first performance his dress
ing-room was invaded by all the wits
and HtterdteurS of the day, and it was
then that Pope wrote the famous lines,
This is the Jew
That ShakeSnea re lreW
The Jewish outlook., 1908-04-24
This is the Jew
That Shakespeare drew.

Whether he meant it was quite an
other thing. He asked Macklin why
he wore red hat, and the actor. who
took great pains to be historically ac-
curate, replied that Jews in Italy, par
ticularly in Venice, were compelled to
do so by law.
The next great Shylock to follow
the lines Of Macklin in his conception
of the part was Edmund Kean, who
produced the play at Drury Lane in
1914, and when he died, Fanny KEN
BILE said of him "Kean is gonc-and
with him Shylock. -
In later times the great pathetic
Shylock was that of Sir Henry Irving.
Only year or two before his death.
Sir Henry wrote to me that the part
of Shylock very forcibly illustrated
the superiority of Shakespeake's S hui
manity over Marlowes, when one
compared "The Merchant of Venice"
with "The Jew of Malta.' and he re.
