FORBES-ROBERTSON'S
EAREWEII

We are soon TO lose one Of the
most famous and one Of the most
Justly famous actors on the English
stage. II is. too, a real farewell.
Forbes Robertson. who appears at
the oliver theater Monday evening,
March 10, does not intend TO come
back TO the boards, and from his
point Of view there is something TO
be said for him. He is now 62 years
old and he has beer on the stage
over 40 years He would rather
leave us hungry than satiated. hear
us grumbling at his retirement than
regretting his lost powers. And,
though he keeps the austere, noble
beauty Of his face. though his figure
is as slim and erect as ever, his voice
still able TO touch chords which no
other voice can touch, and his
powers still at their zenith. no doubt
ne has had enough Of the racket OF
the stage.
natural, and herein is he incompor-
able Whether il is Hamlet, Dick
Heldar or the Passerby, II is not a
stage puppet dallying on wires that
presents itself TO the audience. 1t
is a man and withal a human man.
During his long and busy career this
actor has played many parts. has
produced many plays, but IL can al
ways be said OF his that he nothing
common did or mean" And though
it is TO be regretted that he has de-
cided 10 leave US while he still re-
mains the greatest classical actor Of
his day, we cannot deny that he has
well earned his retirement.
Forbes Robertson has an interna-
tional reputation. He has acted
throughout Great Britain, Holland.
Germany. the United States and
Canada As an actor he ranks high
in that class which presents artistic
plays and gives them in beautiful
fashion. A Scotsman by birth. he
studied as a painter until chance
made him all actor. Very soon his
ability became apparent and he was
climbing the ladder OF fame. His
sympathetic way OF speaking. his
charming manner, his deer insight
into the characters he portrays and
his strong intellectually all COM
bined 10 make him and his work
supreme.

MAY IRWIN.

May Irwin is not only known as
the Queen OF Mirth." but also as
the champion cOOk-stove chauffeur
of her generation. Her book of
recipes is extensively consulted by
experienced and ambitious cooks. 1t
is found in most of the public Ii
braries as a book of reference.
She is coming here to play in her
latest successful comedy "33 Wash
ington Square" at the oliver We'd
nesday evening. with a special mat
inee which will be attended by about
$50 Culver cadets.
When Miss Irwin proposed TO
Pres't Wilson that ne form a de-
partment of laughter to drive out of
court the jingoes and pests who were
trying 20 interfere with him in his
serious international discussions, a
friend Of hers said to Miss Irwin:
81 know how you can make the
president smile"
Howe" asked the actress.
GO 20 Washington and cook a
dinner for him"
But Miss Irwin did better. She
took her entire company 10 Wash
ington from the Park theater. New
York city. and gave a special COM
plimentary performance there for
the president and the National Press
club and made them all laugh. The
event was a signal triumph for Amer
ica's greatest laugh genius.
She never neglects the pleasures
OF cooking; for at her summer home
I'm the Thousand island after each
season she allows her love of the
culinary art To have full play. And
the house is continuously crowded
with guests, for the Irwin cooking

Probably one of the most unique
examples Of helpful suggestion by
a private individual in the affairs
Of the government was given by
May Irwin. the actress. at a most
psychological time, when the inter
national discussions during the late
summer were reaching the critical
stage. Pres't Wilson was beset with
the most acute problems. and a ten
dency to annoy and irritate him into
hasty action seemed to be growing
Several bitter and aggressive speech
es had been delivered by public men.
and the argument between these
fre-eaters and a member of the cab
met was becoming prominent when
the white house gave out TO the
newspapers a letter from May Irwin
It's effect was singularly electrical.
Almost every newspaper of import
ance in the United States gave it
prominence and hundreds Of editO-
rails were written on il. They were
unanimous in agreeing that 1t was
timely to make the administration
laugh. and advised the establish
ment Of some sort Of a Departments

Irwin for all sorts of honors. They
hung enough titles on the happy
woman TO make her broad breast
glitter like that of a champion stage
athlete.
