Concerning the Shakespeare Tercentenary

Probably not for long time have we been considering so seriously. in Bir- mingham. at least the works of the great English Bard William shake- speare. as we have in the last few weeks. seldom are we so fortunate as to have with us so great an exponent of this master as the great English ac- tor, Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson.
 It is not that we are less mindful of the genius of the poet we are never unmindful of his. existence. but like many of the good things We know they are ever waiting near at hand just neglected.
 And yet the renewal of keen delight in the Shakesperian drama is not pe- culiar to Birmingham. nor to this one performance of the greatest of the great dramas, Hamlet" given by the greatest of the great actors. The wave is passing all over the country. all over the world. a kind of Shak espeare renaissance, and why?
 MT. Forbes Robertson tells us the fact is true that the people want a renewal of the Shakesperian drama, we see in our big cities actors doing the Shakesperian dramas for hundreds of nights, and people eager to see such plays, while on the other hand. they are equally eager to have the most modern, the most melodramatic. the most open questions put before them on the stage.
 Why is it true that while we seek for truth in the light of modern prog ress we eagerly harp back to the cul- ture of the past ages?
 The human race is not unapprecia- tive of the past and in it's onward march, it is also studying from the past.
 The modern drama then is life and the Elizabethian drama is philosophy When life becomes too real. too sor- did and too awful, we turn to the phil losophy the theme of being, so do we turn from the modern stage to the greatness of Shakespeare always alive, always philosophic, always carrying the germ of life. but never real.
 This coming year. 1916, will be 300 years since the Bard of Avon. Shake speare. or to quote Birmingham scholar. "the man who wrote the plays" lived, so much has been said as they have gone down the ages to us, and so much will be said of them, of their greatness and charm, it be- comes this generation to celebrate the birthday and deathday with all the pomp and glory the master deserves.

 There are thousands of Shakesperian songs for the single voice. for small groups and for choruses.
