sHAkEsPEARIAN REVIVAL.
Frederick Warde To Present Julius
Caesar" Saturday.

In these days of modern play sue
cesses that run for three and some
times five years without change. few
amount Of study and work attached
to such players as Frederick Warde,
who has all the text of the better
known plays OF Shakespear engraved
upon his brain as well as hosts of
other classic plays and subjects. Mr.
Warde is truly a remarkable man: he
is not only a great actor but a remark
able student, a fluent extemporaneous
speaker and a lecturer of compelling
force and magnetic charm. Since he
became a star in 1886 he has achieved
distinction in plays from Shakespeare,
also number of plays by other au-
thors of which he himself has made
production.
And prior to the time ne became a
star, nc won success i'm numerous
modern plays and successes with such
stars as Edwin Booth, Lawrence Bar
rett, John Mccullough, Charlotte
Cushman and Adelaide Nelson.
When one considers the immense
amount of mental labor entailed in the
memorizing alone of this great number
of plays, and realizes that even today
Mr.. Warde can recite passages by the
hour from any one of them, tribute
must be paid to his genius. The stage
of today does not produce acters like
him, and indeed tits a source of Won
der to many where the opponents of
the classics of the future are coming
from. There are no young actors in
evidence who seem to have any am
bition in that direction. Mr.. Warde
will appear at the Kerredge theater
on Saturday evening in Julius Gaze
sar."

of the roadway where it had been cut
to lay conduits and water mains, and
that the firm had made the city an
