ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Laura COWte
One of the paradoxical conditions
for satisfactory performance Of the
title role in Hamlet is that the
actor must have come to something
of maturity of years in order to un-
derstand the many moods and ap-
parent contradictions In the char
acter of the young Prince Of DEN
mark and to have had great exper-
fence of the stage or rare natural
aptitude that he may intelligently
express them. 1t Is almost equally a
paradox that one who has passed
three-score in years, and has borne
for more than forty years 1.-The whips
and seorns Of time" should retain
the capacity for tenderness and in
decision of youth in such degree as
to fully endow the character of Ham
let with it's most attractive quality.
Hamlet 81 Young Man.
1t is not in the philosophy. the worldly
wisdom or the poetry of this Prince
Of Denmark we find his most appealing
attribute. but in his boyiahness, the
thwarted purposes Of his youth, and the
setting OF his shoulders to bear a load
of grief and bitter disappointment that

Forbes Robertson sets before us--a young
man. full of the JOY of life, ambitious.

with fairest of prospects. who suddenly
finds all the currents of his life turned
awry, while he is brought to deal with a
question of conduct that has proved fruit
full of learned debate for centuries. In

Arrangement of Text.
With no departure Of moment from the
text of the play. the star has proven his
virtuoHity by certain elisions that really
add to the strength of the drama. by
reason Of the fact that he has in so do
ing removed certain things of negligible
quality whose service Is doubtful aside
from the fact that they add to the
length of the written text In CONTRA
distinction to the traditions Of the play
as associated with greatness, he has
abandoned the cumbersome scenery made
use of by Booth. for example. and Irving
and others OF lesser moment. and pre-
scented the play with almost Elizabethan
simplicity Of stage dressing. For this
tribute to the truth Of his art, much

MONEY FOR EVERYTHING BUT

To the Editor Of the EVeninO Ledger
Sir Short sighted officials, selfish poll
tlclans and a Board OF Education when
evidently doesn't believe In it's own tltlo
continue TO labor under the deluson that
Philadelphia Ia n progressive city
These superior minds evidently conclude
that progress consists entirely OF marble
convention halls, glitterlng libraries ana
opalescent art galleries along an ivory-paved
Parkway They ignore completely the per-
sIstent and deplorable fact that more than
10000 public school children are on halt
time. This means that each or these llttle
ones will have to go to school nearly Two
years more than necessary on account OF
the misdIrected energy. seltshnesa and ig-
norance Of those who are conducting tho
city's Rffairs.
As l am not acquainted with the sub
terranean financial complications through
which city money is footballed about CITY
Hall TO suit those who are playing the
game can only cite facts which the
political hnanciers and the glib-tongued
czaIs OF the misnamed Board OF Education
cannot refute. Tho board is always short
of money for schools because II spends from
100000 to 100000 to build each one
which Is equipped with all the latest sim-
cracks. The only thing left out now Is an
official manicure, but II Is likely that this
will soon be provided II might be re-
Earded az economy TO build such schools,
but II some OF the fancy things were
omitted II is possible that each school
building could be erected for paltry
S2OO,O
one of the excuses given by the board
for the lack OF schools is that neghbor-
hoods are constantly changing and that
residential sections are becoming business
communities. etc. While the board theorizes
80 600 children run the streets, During the
last ten months more than a hundred
children have been killed while playing In
the streets In the afternoons. Had there
been more schools for them to attend their
lives might have been saved
Business mems organizations are clamor-
ing for more fancy buildings for visitors
and athletic bowls, but they would let the
children of the poor remain In the soup,
Twenty years ago the children went to
school morning and afternoon. But then
the city was not cluttered up with high
