London and It was given the greatest pub
LEFTY. Every paper on the continent de-
voted columns, and in many instances
pages to the discovery, and it was an
nouneed by practically all Of them as
being of the creates Importance. in fact,
Of more Importance in Shakespeare his
tory than any find since the discovery of
the will Of the poet some century and a
half ago.
Interested Ones CriticIse.
OF course there were some who criticised,
especially those who had in charge the
erection Of the tablet on the side of the
brewery, but even they have been most
courteous to DR.. Wallace. Though DR..
Wallace made his announcement Just about
a week before the public services were to
be held over the dedication of this me-
mortal, those in charge, while deciding
TO go ahead with their ceremonies, an
nounced that IL the unearthed
by DIR. Wallace proved beyond a doubt
the location Of the Globe theater they
would gladly remove the tablet to the
proper place.
One paper editorially announced that in
asmuch as the brewery where the Globe
was supposed to have been located and
the location pointed out by DR.. Wallace
were owned by the same people, 1t could
not be charged that the Nebraska scholar
was working in the interest of SONS
American millionaire who had designs OF
commercializing shakespeare's old stamp
ing ground.

public favor, insofar as the newspaper
