But this did not satisfy his ambition.
and through his acquaintance with
James Burbage he managed to get a
part on the stage. Queen Elizabeth
loved the play and was an cnthusi-
astic patron of the player. Little
wooden theatres began to spring up
in various parts OF London and were
crowded to their capacity. Shakes
peare, although he continued to act
upon the stage until few years be-
fore his death. never attained very.
much prominence as player.

Aubrey. who was his earliest biog-

From 1885 until his death he divided
his time between London and STRAIT
ford, coming to tho latter place to rest
and perhaps to get atmosphere for his
work. for in Tho Merry Wives of

Tho early years of the seventeenth
century were stormy ones for the
poet and he was now in the mood
for turning out tragedies. Julius

that he died on April 2srd. 1916. OF "a

not unlikely that the cause OF this
