Percy HastUeN Says We Still Loue Avon Bard'I
SHAKESPEARE NOT DEADI

OF Shakespearen vaudeville she tells
with enthusiasm. She asserts that it
will take more than dearth of hand
clapping to dampen her ardor.
The idea that Shakespeare is not
liked byNAmerican audiences nor any
other audience has grown into su-
perstition. That is just what 1t is-a
superstition, nothing more Give his
comedy human note, a touch with
the heart appeal, and even your much
maligned vaudeville audience will en-
joy 1t.
of course, this venture In vaude-
vile is an experiment. and l like to
think that ! am doing missionary work
But where Thought of creating a love
for Shakespeare, | merely reawaken
1t IL l make an impression"
Strange to say, Miss HasweI con-
slders silence on the part of her au-
dience perhaps the greatest sign of ap-
probation.
1t surprised me at first at the ST
lence that settled over a vaudeville au-
dience when the AS You Like It
sketch began. l had noticed a tendency
to chatter on the part of the average
vaudeville audience, and a quick de-
sire to applaud If pleased With the
presentation of Shakespeare-ev the
little twenty mnutes-it is different A
hush is on the crowd from the begin
ming and stays TO the end Often there
Is the applause that all actors crave,
but there Is always silence while the
lines are spoken.
Prefers the Bard Complete.
"Of course, prefer to play Shake
speare complete, and after this season
expect to do so, but the bits have their
virtue. The one | present I think is
we'll nodded The characters of Rosa
lind and Katherine portrayed from iso-
lated scenes in AS You Like It and
The Tanning of the Shrew' fit together
naturally"
To get the human note in classic
productions Miss Haswell insists that
atmosphere is essential For this rea-
son, the Shakespeare of the future, she
asserts, will be more appreciated than
the Shakespeare Of the past 1t all will
be vastly more interesting anC grip
ping. She said
Please the Eye as We'll as Ear.
The future productions of Shake
speare will be staged on the theories of
Rheinhardt, with a suggestion of seem
cry and effects rather than the minute
stagecraft of old, or the Ben Greet idea
of no scenery at all The ancient meth
Cd gave the eye too much, while Greet's
scheme gives the eye nothing. You
must give your audience credit for
imagination, but not all imagination"
y At the completion OF her tour in
Twenty Minutes of Shakespeare" Miss
Haswel expects to present Romeo and
Juliet" Twelfth Night" Tanning OF
the Shrew" and "As You Like It."
II am not trying to make the public
like Shakespeare, she said, in conclu-
sion. Il am just trying to show them
that they loved him all the time"

ORGANIZATION OF SPANISH WAR VETERANS

ambitions that bring on war There
have been wars that have disgraced HUI
mainly because the blood spilled was not
spilled In any righteous cause. but the
rank and file Of the soldiery did not
share Ia the disgrace because they bore
arms as those who served q command
which they dare not question and who
have absolutely nothing to gain and
everything to lose.
III q man offer his life for a thing
that does not bring him profit. shall we
not say that he is distinguished among
his fellows? Now, when men spend
their lives In peace not merely for their
own private profit. but as the conscious
servants Of a great nation, there will be
no more war and peace will be as dis
tinguished as war. Then we will hang
up the symbols of peace In our house.
holds and say. Our sons served
humanity"
THE reason the Spanish war bound
the nation together was that men were
bound together in an unselfish thing
which drew all sections Of the country
together In a common service and so it
Is with peculiar pleasure that think of
this war which drew us into singleness
Of purpose without shedding too much
Of the precious blood Of our sons and
Of our brothers and our fathers
II suppose that In coming together the
members OF this association are chiefly
drawn by. the impulse of comradeship.
They want to see men who were COM
rades in arms, even though they did not
personally know them while the armies
were in camp and in field, but 1t seems
to me there is something very much
greater than comradeship in 1t. There
10 the fellowship OF ii, patriotism. which
goes a great deal deeper and which is
the only thing that constitutes the true
spirit Of a nation.
II belong to a political party. For the
time being I represent a political party
but respect a political party merely as
the means Of banding men together for
service which. when they have done to

trust Of his fellow-citi4ens. He borrows
greatness from his comprehension Of
and Identification with a great cause and
principle. He is as big az the thoughts
and the impulses that he has received
from the common iife Of the people
about him, and all his greatness Is thus
borrowed from the great capital stock
of the human race. He IL not worthy
Of confidence unless he puts that great
borrowed greatness out at usury and
not only to himself but to those who
have trusted him with the sacred thing
which he has borrowed.
THE trouble with this country Is that
1t has been blindly at war within itself
by. a competition of interests when they
should have been a union Of interests.
The way not to cure II Is to set one class
against another The way to cure II
Is to see that classes understand one
another, and that they all know that
there is such a thing as a common in
terest which touches them all alike.
will you men not, having seen the
vision, assist to communicate 1t to the

burdened all day long with the mere
necessity Of earning what they must eat
and what they must put above their
heads by way Of shelter? They have not
time, many Of them, to see the vision.
We have camped on the field, some OF
us. We have been in the battle. We
have heard the rattle of small arms. the
dull thunder of the cannon. and all the
while we have been thrilled through
with this impression: that we were on a
mi ssion for the American people. and
that the arms we bore were typical Of
a great duty. No man who has slept
on the tented field and failed to see the
vision is a true soldier, and no man is
a true patriot who. having once seen the
vision, does not lift it high for the
Of his Ifellow-men.

mot all men think alike. and there
fore men must group themselves &C
cording to their convictions and their
thoughts; but the impulse back Of every
one OF them must be the same, II 1t Is
indeed the impulse Of patriotic convic-
ton. And SO I congratulate you upon
having gone to school in at least one Of
the achools~of patriotism. Not the only
school. but the school where you have
learned that man must lay down, II
need be. his life for those with whom
he lives. For you have had that only
thing that makes a nation great. You
have had a vision of the common in
terest. I wish that party battles could
be fought with less INsonal passion and
more passion for the common good.
II am not interested in fighting per-
sons, but l am interested In fighting
things. I am interested In fighting bad
tendencies, bad systems. things that
lower all the levels Of our political and
economic morality; and I could wish
that these things were visible and tam
gible. so we did not have to fight them
through persons. I wish they were Of
such sort that you had only to hold
them up to let the whole nation see how
ugly they are and how undesirable. For
we must get this vision before We are
true with our politics. the same vision
that the soldier gets, that 1t does not
make any difference what part of the
country he comes from, II does not make
any difference what rank he is, the point
Is that there is something that binds him
to his fellows which he cannot break
without committing treason. The thing
he cannot break is the bond of COM
mon sympathy and Of common under
standing that he is engaged in a cause.
and that only the cause can make him
great.
II wonder that men sometimes miss
the whole lesson of greatness. A man
borrows greatness; he does not possess

much more than could the same men
working separately. We have not been
able to get more for the simple reason
that 1t has taken all of our time to get

working together under one head We can
get practically anything we ask for. The

From the Hartford Post.
The trolley campaign which is being
held in the state under the auspices of
the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation is attracting great deal OF in
terest. The women responsible for the
work being done in each OF the towns on
the schedule are just the type to eff
fectually spread the suffrage propaganda,
and to make the kind Of an appeal that
goes straight home.
The fact that the anti-suffragists have
opened headquarters In this city and
that they have become rather active
through the State indicates how strong
a hold suffrage has taken in Connecticut.
Were this not true, there would be no
activity on the part Of the antis. But

SCHOOL NOTES
Happenings Told In An
Interesting Way

Last Thursday morning a very
enthusiastic booster meeting was
held. Mr.. Boyd, the faculty and
different members of the stud
ent body expressed themselves
in regard to the Importance of the
coming contests in debate and
track.
The debate of Saturday even
ing was well attended and no
small part of the audience was
made up of st. Johns people.
The debate proved interesting
from the opening to the closing
speech. Although we were de-
feated in this semi-fnal debate,
we may justly feel proud of
what we have done in this first
years attempt at debate.
Last Saturday afternoon J. j.
III. s was represented at Column
bias annual open indoor meet by
Smith. Thurmond and Magone.
Thurmond and Magone had a lit
tie hard luck. Thurmond was
running a good race when he was
thrown 10y a couple of runners
who stumbled in front of him.
Magone sprained his knee in the
pole vault. thus being put out of
further competition. Smith,
however. won second I'm the
broad jump. coming within two
inches of first place, thus making
three points for LANES John.
This made more points than all
the Portland high schools taken
together were capable of in the
open events.
j. j. III. will not attempt TO
have a base ball team this year,
but will devote all their time to
track and field athletics. We
have considerable talent in these
and by present indications this
will bee without doubt a red let
ter season. There will be at
least four more meets. which
will make a well balanced season.
The first will be with Ridgefeld
High school April 26. There is
now a movement on TO charter
boat and make this trip a free

weeks later the u. of o. will
stage their annual interscholaris-
