the resources of their native soil Some of the characters are introduced with out suggesting comparisons. The role of the curate is picture that is dis tinctly English and the play makes no effort to introduce a corresponding personality. But he is faithfully DOT trayed; kind and courteous to his equals and interiors and yet pro- foundly impressed by the importance of social rank. Andrew MacDuffie is the typical estate boss. And the negro servant, though imeasurably removed from him in every individual trait, is no less typical of the product of plan tation days in our own land. One part that stands out distinct and alone fig that of the widow. Mrs Westbrooke. with the wit of the Irish, the refine ment of the nobility. and the bigness of heart that makes the true woman wherever you find her. The authors have bestowed upon her some of their best speeches. realizing no doubt the piquancy a touch of the Dublin accent imparts.'
 You have made a study nf all the characters in the play?"

"The stage is all a world. to transpose the famous quo tatiOn, and in order to succeed, we must understand as thoroughly as possible what is going on about us. should like to think" MT. Hanford proceeded. that this play might con- tribute a little toward a more rational estimate of American character by Englishmen and of English character by Americans. I always feel a thrill of personal emotion when l come to the speech in the last act in the scene of reconciliation between the two big men who stand in my mind for two big nations. I runs this way" MT. Han- ford recited the lins without declama- tory effect vet with the well modu- lated voice and finely distributed in flection which distinguish him as one Df the most accomplished readers the American stage has ever known:

the piece-at any rate, not all of 1t. I wish "ou would see the play and
 decide for yourself whether my ideas
 of it are over-colored by personal en- thusiasm one of the things that most
 attracted me to the play was the spirit of American fair play which avoided the appeal to national prejudice. My feeling of obligation to the British stage for it's magnificent contributions
 to our literature would suffice to re- strain me even were I disposed to
 caricature. Mt
 ''One of the first things that struck
 me about the pray was the strong
 contrast of characterization without
 sacrifice of dignity on either side. On
 the one hand is John Breuster. the role
 assume, typical western American;
 the soul of honor, fighter yet gen.
 erous victor. In contrast to him is the
 English lord who displays absolutely
 the same qualities although giving
 them expression by wholly different methods of speech, manner and thought Lord Wycherly is no less gentleman and a fighter than John Breuster and it is the opposition of two strong natures, each conscientious and chivalrous that gives the plot it's great vital interest. Then there are the two boys. Richard Westbrooke. the son of an Englishman. and Robert Breuster, the son of an American; both high-minded and fine characters. but chips of the old blocks. Each is true to the traditions of his race, but each is unswerving in his obedience to the laws of honor. The two young girls, Alice Breuster and Lady Felicia, are as distinct as if one had been drawn by Charles Dana Gibson and the >oth- CT by DuMaurier. Yet they share the high instincts common to refined wO- manhood in all countries. Even the less prominent characters show the differences in national traits.

touched me, have a little confessing to do on my own account. You haven't said anything worse about my coun- try than I have said about yours and l don't believe you were any further wrong. Your ways are not our ways, yours being the old road and our the short cut; but we both get there just the same. In fact. sir. we are of the same blood and it's thicker than wa ter. Yours is the mother country; we are the sons. You reed us. We need you. So with all my heart say We've been good enemies: let's be just as good friends" FA
 'I like that speech" MT. Hanford repeated. In my life work my two great ambitions have been to encour- age the study of Shakespeare and to stimulate patriotism and love of the flag. In the latter endeavor I have studied The Star Spangled Banner and The American Flag and recited them on public occasions with as much heartfelt sentiment as if they had been the most published products of literary genius, They are in a way the voice of the people. Homelv though they may be. they stand for loyalty and love of country and I have brought all the actors skill that I pos sess to bear upon them in order that too great familiarity might not cause their sterling worth as. works of na- tional sentiment to be overlooked"

SHAKESPEARE AND
 THE MODERN DRAMA
Charles 3. Hanford Tells Why He Has Added "The American Lord"
 to His Repertoire.


 The motives which led the eminent Shakespearean actor. Charles B. Han ford, to interrupt his successful ca reer in the classics in order tb pre- sent a play entirely modern in its in terest have naturally been Jne sub ject of some curiosity. Mir Hanford recently discussed the matter frank ly and interestingly. He rather re- sents the suggestion that he is aban- doning an ideal or risking any dis appointment for auditors who have learned to rely on him as the stand ard bearer of the Shakespearean drama in this country. In proof of his loyal to to the classic cause he calls att tention to the fact that 'Trhe Tanning of the Shrew' is still retained in his repertory for presentation in a num- Der of cities where the desire to see him in Shakespeare has been expressed to the theater management in man. ner to indicate that it represents a majority sentiment.
 T recognize that this being a free country, every man is entitled to ex- act from his public servants, both in political and in artistic life, the kind of service that best pleases him. With all deference to the gentlemen who write, and with whom 1 am pleased to say I have never had the slightest temptation to quarrel. the public is the supreme critic. It deals with a subject by impression rather than by intellectual analysis; but its conclu sions like those reached by woman's

intuition, as the novelists call it. are usually correct"
 Why do you prefer your present vehicle. The American Lord to Shakespeare?
 MT Hanford looked puzzled.
 T don't believe that I can risk em- barrassing the authors of the piece. Mir. Broadhurst and MT. Dazey. by ac- cepting the assumption on which your question is based. l dare not say I prefer it to Shakespeare I once knew a man who had written most cred- itable drama in blank verse. It had every, prospect of success until an over enthusiastic management adver- tised the author as The American Shakespeare' Imagine the ridicule that was straightway let loose upon him. selected The American Lord because, when my life -long, man. ager. F. Lawrence Walker. brought the manuscript to my attention it appealed to me so strongly that I wished to portray the leading male role and to see my company in the other parts. I had not read the first act before I had cast of characters planned in my mind"
 You knew of course that the play had been done before?"
 Not until l had become interested in it on its own account. I was far away in another part of the continent when the play was originally pre- scented. It did not require the knowl- edge that the work had found a lib- eral measure of approval to predispose me in it's favor; it was my ideal of what an Amer r'can play should be; humorous without descending to bur lesque. robust in its plot interest with out being melodramtic and patriotic without the introduction of artificial platitudes. l am not so welded to the Elizabethan drama as not to de- sire to do something toward my share in developing the stage of my own time and people,"
 T suppose the play is not especial- ly pleasing to Englishmen who hap pen to be in the audience"
