Booth and Macbeth.

There is no question that Macbeth"
is a great drama, great literature and,
above all. a great acting play. But the
eXactionS of the central character are
such that the play is often kept from
the stage for years at a time or else
butchered by a tenth rate actor trading
on the magic of S~hakespeare's NAME.
Edwin Booth, although not a big man
physically, was the greatest of Ameri-
can Macbeths. Yet Booth was always
dissatisfied in the role, for the reason,
he said, that he never felt right in it
because he lacked a really great Lady
Macbeth. When in 1887 he and Law
Barrett formed their famous al
lance Barrett asked Booth to select his
ideal of Lady Macbeth. Barrett's ex-
pectation was that Booth would name
the late Nine. Janauschek. Instead he
named Helena Modjeska. Barrett, a
greater business man than actor,
promptly arranged to separate from
Booth for a season. that of 1SS9-90, and
let Booth and Modjeska tour as CO.
stars, using Macbeth" as their prln-
cipal offering. They did so with great
success, and Booth had realized his
dream of playing vis-a-vis with a great
actress as Lady Observation-Disclosures

To love The Jersey Market

Tie Jersey market, which is set apart
for the use of Jersey farmers and truckers
who take their produce to Wilmington to
sell, which is now on the north side of
Fourth street from King to Walnut, is to
be moved to the west side of French
street from Fourth to Sixth, provided
City Council passes an ordinance which
has been introduced by Mr.. Rash. The
ordinance was read twice and referred to
the law committee, which will probably
report upon it at the next meeting, when
it may be called up for final action.
The section OF Fourth street now oc.
cupied by this market has become so
much congested because of the increas-
ing number of truckers, the expansion
of the commission houses there and the
general growth of business, that the mat
ter of a change has been under consider
alton for some time.
Recently a delegation of commission
men, whose places of business are in
Fourth street, called upon Mayor VIII
son and suggested that the Jersey mar.
ket be moved to the Water Department.

Big Combine For Wilmington

1t was announced at the offices of the
Harlan:& Hollingsworth incorporation, in
Wilmington that the local concern and
the Bethlehem Steel company had been
consolidated into one company for the
purpose of establishing in Wilmington a
plant for the manufacture of steel passen-
ger coaches and all kinds of steel freight
cars. The name of the new company
has not been determined, neither was
the amount at which it is to be capital
stated.
The announcement followed a visit Of
Charles M. Schwab, president of the
Bethlehem Steel company, and the di-
rectors OF that concern. They conferred
with the directors of the local company
and the merger was then determined.
The Harlan plant there will be rebuilt
and enlarged and the biggest car shops
country erected. 1t is estimated that
from $4,000 to $4,000 men will be en-
ployed. Work on the plant will begin
at once. The Bethlehem Steel company
will make the steel and the cars will be
erected in the local plant.
