The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1911-01-13

| Ho ace Porter amply filled the
role of Caesar, John Burke as Casca,
and Miss Thorne as Calphurius, Miss
Hilton as Portia, added much to
the production as a whole
The company is a splendid one
and has been most carefully Sc
lected by Mr.. Warde who would
| have none but the best material.
1t is quite evident, from the audi
ence OF last evening, that our
schools and literary clubs are not
so much interested in the Shakes
pearean dramas as we might sus-
pect and that the love for the
classics among theater goers is on
the wane.
We saw Frederick Warde years
ago in the happy tristan combina-
! ton of James, Kidder and Warde,
and We're glad last evening that
Warde has lost none of his old time
charm in reading the classic lines
of Shakespeare.
An event of historical importance
in that it is the first of its kind in
Oklahoma City, was the inaugural

lahoma City, but from over the

of the occasion, flags and heavy
banks of flowers being arranged in
