Shakespearean Actors


 The first of the multitude of actors who have inpersonated the leading characters of Shakespeare's genius was Richard Burbage, who died 297 years ago today, March IS, ISIS. Burbage was the son of a stroIling player and was born In I564 Bur bage was born in inc same year as the Bard Of Avon. and survived him about two years. He was friend as we'll as theatrical associate Of the greatest of all dramatists and his en1inence as an actor suggested to Shakespeare many of the noble 8char- acters in his plays. Burbage's name stands next to that of Shakespeare's in the licenses for acting granted to the immortal company at the Globe Theatre by James I. in 1603 During his career Burbage played Hamlet, Romeo, Macbeth, Brutus, ShyIock, Lear, Othello, and many other tShakespearean roles, and he was praised at his death as the greatest actor of his time. Tn fact, more elegiac effusions followed the death of Burbage than of Shakespeare The great actor was buried at St. Leon ards. .Shoreditch, and the only in- scription on his tomb were the words. Exit Burbage.''

PERCY MACKAYE, 40 TODAY, WINS PRAISE
 AS WAR POET

The finest verse inspired by the war-in the opinion of many British as well as American critics-is not the work of a bard of one of the combatant nations but of a neutral, Percy Mackaye, the eminent dra- matist. MT. Mackaye was born in New York forty years ago today, March Is, 1875. and has been engag- ed in writing plays and poetry since his eighte enth year. He was educat- ed at Harvard and at the University of Leipzig, in Germany, but his long residence in the Kaiser's country has not made him a German. Quite the contrary sentiments are express ed in his recent volume of verse, sTThe Present Hour, which deals largely with the war, and in which he launches poetic bombshells at the German Emperor and his war ma chine. The sonnet "Kruppism" is one of the most powerful of the poems inspired by the European con migration. Especially noteworthy, gians. Here are two verses from 'aThe Lads of Iiege',
 The Monarch roars an iron laugh And cries on God to man his guns; But Belgian mothers bore them sons
 Who man the souls within them: They bar his path. they hold their
 pass.
 They blaze in glory of the Gau1
 Till Caesar cries again, ssOf all
 The bravest are the BeIg1ansi"
 MT. Mackaye began his career as a dramatist in 1908 with s@The Canter- bury P1lgrims,'' asAcomedy. In 1908 he wrote Jeanne d'Arc,'P' which was produced in America ana Englan al by Julia 1Tarlowe and E. HI Sothern. 5sxsA last year. MT. Mackaye also helped to produce and stage the great his torfca1 pageant and drama held in St Louis last year to commemorate Htne 150th birthday of the Missouri metropolis. His first play, 'frhe Canterbury Pilgrims, has been per formed at dozens of the leading uni versailles in America and at the civic pageant in Gloucester in 1909.

BY Jane Whitaker

What a lot of children there are in
the world that~aobody loves and no
body wants.
If you go into the county court on
the day when dependent cases are
tried your heart will sicken at the
repetition of cases, so very similar,
where adults haggle about having
to support little ones and often
the little ones look on with wide
eyed wonder, feeling in their little
minds and hearts that somewhere
there is big injustice and placing it
perhaps at the very gate of life that
sent them here, unwelcome, and gave
them no chance to escape.
A grandfather has been ordered to
pay for the support of the baby girl
of his son who has run away, leaving
the mother dependent.
He pays for little while and in the
meantime the mother of the child
marries. She does not herself con-
tribute to the support of her child.
She places it with her mother and
depends on the paternal grandparent
to pay the maternal grandmother.
The grandfather decides that the
second husband of the child's mother
should support the child and he takes
the matter back into court and asks
to be relieved of any further burden
or if he is not relieved, to be given
custody of the child, so that he may
keep it on less than the $2a week he
has been ordered to pay by the court.
You leave the county court with
a great pity in your heart for the I'M
wanted baby girl and you go into the
court of domestic relations.
Here there is a squabble about the
support of three children. The ia
Their says he will not support them
while they are in the custody of the
mother. The mother says she will
keep them with her. The father
makes charges against her character
and Judge SABBATH orders an investi-

charged she is intimate.
Shortly she returns. Whether she
breads investigation or whether it is
merely that she doesn't care, she says
she is satisfied to give her three chill
dren to the father and, this settled,
she once more leaves the court hold
ing the arm of the man for whom she
gave up the care and guidance of the
babies she brought into the world.
You leave there with some of your
ideal of motherhood shattered and
you go into the juvenile court,
and here, in the court of tears, chill
dren's tears, you loiter but little
while, for your heart will not stand
the pain Of erring baby things cling
ing to their parents, not realizing that
their parents have decided to let the
state take the burden of the chill
dren's support.
You go into the boys court. Two
lads, one 16 and one II, have been
arrested for breaking into a barn.
They say they went there to sleep.
The one of II has the expression of
a man who knows life. There is not
