MISS TERRY TELLS
Of SOME HERO|NES
Lecture Marked BY Imper-
sonations of Shakespeare's
Characters.

Miss Helen Terry has decided views on
Shakespeare's heroines. She presented
them to a large audience at the Ma
tional Theater yesterday afternoon.
Even when one may not fully agree
with Miss Terry he must respect these
opinions as the fruits of years of expert
ence in interpreting the characters she
talks about. And she adds effective
arguments by her occasional impersona-
lions Of these roles.
Portia, Miss Terry thinks, has been
treated too lightly, has too often been
made the medium of comedy rather
than of serious portrayal. Desdemona Is
another Heroine Pathetique" whose
depth of character the lecturer thinks
has not fully been appreciated. This
heroine, she declared, is not inferior
because of a lack of worldly knowledge,
hers is a superior wisdom.
The lecturer likewise made a strong
plea for the vindication of Lady Mac
beth from charge of being an unsexed
monster. The same qualities Whlch
made her a partner in crime, the speak
er iterated, might have driven her to
a glorious achievement.
Miss Terry has little use for the color
less type of woman and she likes Cleo
patra better than Ophelia. The Ham
let" heroine's fault was inherent weak
ness to withstand the stress of circum-
stances. Julia of The Two Gentlemen
of Verona" was passed lightly by with
the remark that she was member of
the Door Mat tribe" and a prayer Of
thanks that Shakespeare hadn't por-
trayed more women like her.
In Juliet Miss Terry found a deeper
emotion than girl-like love. Hers was
the love of a poet and Miss Terry
claimed for her the initiative and
tic of man.
Miss Terry spoke from stage banked
with flowers. She wore a flowing cos
tune which admitted of freedom of
movement in the INSTALLATION of her
heroines. She gave the potion scene of
Juliet, the plea for mercy of Portia and
the mad scene of Ophelia and the audi
ence seemed to enjoy these even more
than the lecture. j. R. H.

Bankers Hear Address
On Evils of Business

In the opinion of Oscar Telling, ma
tional bank examiner, one Of the great
est banking evils of the present time Is
the practice of men of high standing in
their respective communities allowing
the use OF their names as directors Of
financial institutions when they know
nothing of their condition.
In an address delivered before the
Washington chapter of the American
Institute of Banking last night, he said
that the appearance of the names Of
strong men attracts small depositors,
but that 1t really gives them no pro-
lection.
