BETH" 1.-THE Merchant Of Venice and
Richard ILL., recently remarked TO
friend: 1T is my ambition to present
the plays Of Shakespeare not as they
were presented in the days OF Queen
Elizabeth. but as the author would
have them presented were he living
to-day. ........
From everything We know OF
Shakespeare, there Is the best OF rea-
son to believe that he was thoroughly
up-to-d date and even a trihe In ad-
every mechanical device recognized az
effective on the stage of his day. AMI

have not the least doubt that he would
seize eagerly upon every new cleo

storm scene effective, ami every new
combination of lights and paint that
would reproduce on the stage the
magnificence OF faIryland of his
imagination. For that reason. I do
not hesitate a minute to make my
production as effective pictorialIy as
can.
Shakespeare. too. to-day would en-
ploy the easy. natural style of act
ing instead of that deciamatory style
in vogue in his day. and there is every
reason to believe that he was far
ahead Of his time in this respect For
his long speeches are usually much
more crowded with action than the
Jeclamations Of his contemporaries.
and it is this fact that causes Shake
peares plays to hold their own in COM
petition with modern drama, while the
works of his contemporaries are never
presented on the stage to-day.
1.-THE Call Of the Heart
In the theatrical world, the old say
ing about there being nothing new I'M
der the sun is an Interchangeable fact.
Plays deal with passions and emo
tions, and no dramatist, not even the
immortal Shakespeare. could suggest
the smallest additions to the passions
and emotions of old. They can, how
ever. take them and form them into a
new series OF combinations, or grip
pings. of heartaches and thrills. /;

a complete knowledge OF human char
acter. If one Goes not know his neigh
boris character. he cannot know his
virtues, and IL he does not know his
virtues. he cannot act justly towards
him. The drama, then. is nothing mere

LEASE IS 0. K.
Is the Opinion of City At
torney E. G. Alvord. In
junction Threatened.

At the Council meeting held
Tuesday evening City Attorney
&. G.. AIvord was asked his opin-
ion as to the legality of the lease
entered into between the Bay
field County Bank and the city
for the lease for the part of the
city hall building known as the
city clerks Office. Mr.. Alvord
stated that it was his opinion
that there was no question as to
the legality of the lease as made
by the council.
There has been a good deal of
controversy over the lease ques-
tion since it was passed by the
council. Alderman Bryan be-
lieved that the council erred in
taking up the question at an
adjourned meeting when the
question had been laid over to
the next regular meeting. The
city attorney stated that it was
his opinion that Mr.. Bryan was
right when it came to a question
of parliamentary law but if the
council saw fit to take up the
question at an adjourned meet
ing and a majority of the council
favored the question that there
was no question as to the legali-
ty of the transaction. Alder
man Bryan and several others
state that an injunction may be
gotten out to knock out the action
