fancy in the theatre and upholds
high standards and high ideals be-
cause they are noble and beautiful
and beneficent.
1t is to Frederick Warde we
must look in the theatrical horizon,
for he is star whose brightness is
undimmed, whose brilliancy grew
clearer and more luminous as the
years advanced. Brutus with him
is but a reproduction of a man in
his mind.
So close in touch is he with the
hero Of Shakespeare that one and
all become with him an intimate
friend and associate. He ceases to
be Frederick Warde. He becomes
the role he plays, a breathing pull
sating, passionate man, to tell his
story as he might tell it in actual
life. This is why the acting of Fred
erick Warde appeals to every lover
of Shakespeare. Familiar quotations
come back to us as If they were
read but yesterday. There is lacking
that plethora i gestures which so
many of our younger players have.
There is in what he does an intense
dignity, mighty feeling. a sympathy
that penetrates even the scenes of
dispute.
It was a pleasure to greet Mr..
Warde last night, and 1t is no won
der that the audience, spontaneous in
its expression of delight and approx
al, called for speech from the ac-
tor. Nor was 1t possible for Mr..
Warde to deny the demand. In few
selected sentences he thanked the
people present, for it carried to his
heart the grateful knowledge that
there still remain men and women
who love art for arts sake, and not
for ulterior motives-Memphis Com

even its natural thickness.
Jimmy Valentine pulled manfully at
the handles Of the vault door. Per-
haps, after all, the combination had
not been turned and only the doors
weight held it In place But the metal
barrier would not move. He pressed
his ear to the halrlike crack. He
heard the sound Jas Of a little body
falling to the floor and the faint moans
Of the prisoner calling Bobby. Bobby.

Valentine bent over the combination,
peered sharply at 1t, then began to
twirl the $esllnders gently. Around
and then back he turned the knob.
No; 1t wasS OF nozuse. Nothing could
be done until the sandpaper arrived.
His fingers had lost their sensitiveness
and hence tteir cunning, and in the
meantime Valentine well knew the
prisoner was consuming whatever Of
the priceless air that remained
The door leading from his office
swung open, and again Red Flanagan
darted in. He flung himself on the
vault room floor directly below Val
endne's knees and held his ear close
to the crack Of the safe door.
"Think you can make it, JimmyY
he gasped.
Guess so; never failed on a lock
like this. Why, in Gods name, don't
that fool come with that sandpaper?"
Valentine was desperate at the delay
Hes gone to a-here he is!' cried
Red as he heard hurrying footsteps in
the assistant cashiers office. Red
jumped to his feet and out into Val
entine's room. He seized the roll of
sandpaper from the messengers

Isked the inquisitive clerk.
Red showed him away and darted
back toward the vault room
None Of your business" he cried.
"and keep out Of here"

"No. a."

he has entered into life eternal,
and we are only waiting until the
Lord shall call us, and we shall
join that glorious throng on the
beautiful shore, where there is no
more parting, no more good bys
to be said, where one by one we
are gathering home.
And now to the dear, patient
wife, who has been so faithful in
her duty, administering to his
every wish, trying in every way to
make his last days the happiest of
all his life, we would say, Look
up, dear sister, dry your tears.
God is just he doeth all things
well, and some day we shall know
why it was"
