|"hchieve the reputation of beirs
versatile has always operated
i against the actor. End undoubt-
edly the very fact that Edward
L. Davenport w&s one of the most ver-
satile actors the American stage has
ever known may account for his career
being less notable than that of Edwin
Booth.
Yet Davenport had no superior in 4
dozen roles; while in such parts as Sir
Giles Overleach in "A New Way to Pay
Old Debts" and Claude Melnotte in
.'The Lady of Lyons" he was without a
peer
Born in Boston, in 1916. the youthful
years Of Davenport were spent in that
city in mercantile pursuits. But during
his spare hours the lad was active In
amateur work, and at the age Of eign-
teen he became the leading man OF the
Booth Amateur Dramatic Association
in Boston, where his success was such
as to attract the attention of manager
in Providence, r. I.
Here Davenport appeared under an
a assumed name, being in doubt as to the
outcome. But as fate would have it he
scored his first success as profession
al in the very play with which his name

had retorted. Don't you let him put

Mr.. Jarr felt he'd better wait till the

began Mr.. Jarr gloomily. but the boss
called to bellboy who was passing
and asked him to page a waiter. and
When the waiter arrived, Mr.. Jarr's

he could get what he wanted to pay
for, began TO tell the waiter Just what
he wanted and just how he wanted 1t.

will be associated as long as dramatic
history endures.
Davenport played the Parson in "a
New Way to Pay Old Debts so well
that he was given the important. roles
In future productions. At the age OF
twenty he assumed the role Of william
in "Black-Eyed Susan" and he con-
tinued to play 1t almost throughout his
unexampled career, even when his repu-
|tation as Shakesperian exponent
should have meant the elimination OF
everything else
should not be specialist, Hence he
was wont to interrupt successful run
of "Othell0' or King Lear, In order
that he might 6e seen In .Black-Eyed

sing so well that occasionally he would
go on short tours In small towns where
his versatility would find greater ap-
peal.
For many years after Dayenporf's
death. in 1877, the attitude of the public
toward him was greatly depiored BIZ
some OF the best known writer's; who
also expressed regret thatsthe deceased
actor had not emphasized his extraoroi-
nary, talents in such a way that they
would have been permanently endowed
by his public.
And all agreed that his principles,

TO EDUCATE ENGLAND.

Prime Minister Asquith's project for vast edu.
catonaI system, to be maintained at the expense Of
the nation, is discussed with great venemence
throughout Great Britain. The scheme is designed
to open path TO the gates of tne university every
boy and girl whose mental and moral equipmen,
warrant such an advantage. This innovation is to
be accomplished by the establishment of system Of
nationally supported primary and secondary schools
and by q colossal development of universities and
technical schools
/. The argument for this extension is furnished in
concrete form by Vscount Hadane, the lord chanceI-
1er, who recently announced that sweeping reor-
ganizaton of the present chaotic" system of instruc-
tion is essential IF productive power is to be
maintained in comparison with that of our rivals"
The principal rival" is Germany, where educa-
tion has been so extended, that the Germans have
laid themselves open to the charge of being over
educated. .-.
The danger Of that condition arising in England
is many generations ahead. 1t be met wnen it is
faced Meanwhile, "Overeducated' Germany is
watching its industry, wealth. and power stride ahead
with a pacidity that does not suggest grave worry
shout imminent danger.
