DICKENS FITTED FOR STAGE
Kate Field, Excellent Judge of Char
acter, Confident He Might Have
Been Great Actor.

4 No one ever paid much higher
tribute to Dickens than did Kate
Field. She had the soul of poet, a
discriminating taste in art and liter
ature and wide knowledge of the
world In mentality she was fully as
strong as either Of her brilliant broth
ers, David, Dudley, Stephen J. or Cy-
rus W., and she certainly was as good
II not better Judge of character.
She once wrote an appreciation of
Dickens In which she declared the
world lost its greatest actor when
Boz became writer. She gave a de-
scription of one of Dickens readings
that was mastery in its vividness OF
detail Such versatility as she cred
tied Dickens with displaying as he as
sumed the character of first one and
then another of his creations, the pa
thos, the humor, the tragedy he put
into tone; the marvellous way in
which he stirred the emotions of old
and young in his audience, would ap-
pear to be a bit extravagant were it
not that now and then in later years
some old man, looked upon as stern
and Unconditional, told with faltering
voice how he stood in line all one
night to buy ticket to one of Boz
readings, and then went on to talk
just about as Miss Field wrote, only
before he got as far along in his
story the tears were running down
his wrinkled cheeks-his old heart
strings still atune to the magic Of The
Master.
