JULIUS CAESAR IS
GIVEN AN OVATION
Hanford Company is Warmly
Received in Shakespearean
Revival at Columbia.

Seldom does a group OF actors re-
cefve a more well deserved ovation than
was accorded the Charles B. Hanford
company in the Columbia Theater last
night when. in the course of the Shake
speare revival which is on this week
they presented Julius Caesar" In spite
OF the fact that the majority Of the
company were far below the standard
usually set by Mr.. Hanford. the prin-
cipals brought the action of the play so
vividly before the audience that the dis
crepancy was not serious
The Brutus of r. D. MacLean brings

Booth, and Forrest, before the problem

Shakespeare was the one legitimate
author. Possessed of personality that

figure. In the fifth act in the quarrel

As Cassius. w. L. Thorne presented
the jealous. suspicious. malignant char
acter, which Shakespeare so strongly
depicts. in such manner as to gain the
applause of the house. Mr. Thorne il
also possessed of voice which seems
to have been made for Shakespearean
roles and personality which blends
well with the. lines he reads.
Miss Frances AGnew as Brutus' page
made distinct impression with her
lines and with a song sung in the tent
of Brutus while Miss Odette Tyler and
Miss Drofnah were most attractive as
Portia and Calphurnia.
Altogether the presentation Of the

After one attempt to organize to oust
Martin they made another and in the
last few weeks have welded together a
strong organization.
Bryan Men Oppose Martin.
They have been aided by the fact
that there is strong opposition to Sen
;.tor Martin as leader among Bryan
Democrats everywhere aud among Will
son men. Senator Martin is accused of
being overfriendly with the railroads
and corporations in Virginia. with hos
tility to Wilson. and with TOO close pc-
litical affiliations with Thomas +. Ryan.
For this reason. some of the conserva-
tive Democrats of the Senate have
doubted the wisdom Of making him
leader
This feeling has helped materially the
movement to depcse Mr.. Martin. Now.
Martin knows ne Is beaten. he has
split with S;ramons and Clarke of Ar
kansas. tc some extent. and the whole
situation is getting favorable to tn"
elevation of a progressive Democrat to
the head of Finance.
Senator Stone and Senator John Sharp
Williams are mentioned to head the
Finance Committee in place of Senator
Simmons. Senator Williams is strongly
favored by the progressive Democrats
He is a low tariff man.
Senator Simmons has strength i'm tho
Senate and he believes the progressive
to prevent him from being
chairman of Finance will fail. He and
his friends are said to realize that Mar
tin is beaten for leader, but to believe
the progressive attempt to capture
things will stop there. But it appears
that progressive leaders, having got
one taste of victory, in the defeat OF
Martin, which they count as good as
accomplished. have their appetite whet-
ted for anorhe-. The advent of NJ.
Bryan have in few days will tend to
