DR.. WALSH TALKS ON
SHAKESPEAREAN PLAY

Pupils of Villa de Chantal enjoyed
a rare privilege in the presence at
the academy yesterday afternoon of
the celebrated New York physician and
lecturer, DR.. James J. Walsh, who
talked to them Of Shakespeare and
His Environments
His talk was very intimate and he
brought out some vital truths Compar
ing the present time to that of Shake
speare. decidedly to the current days
degeneracy in dramatic art. He took
the pupils for walk through London
in those times, to StratfOrd and the
Avon and made their journey so real
that they fairly reverted to the scenes
A significant statement of his talk,
for he addressed the young women
more in the attitude of a father than
as lecturer, was that the audiences
of Shakespeare plays were composed
of three-fOurths men, yet they attend
ed these masterpieces time and again
10 the extent that in l. years Shake
speare was independently rich, oc-
cupying the finest residence in STRAIT
ford and owning 100000. Today, he
said, the audiences are three-fourthS
women at the theatres and Shake
spearean plays are at a discount and
nasty problem plays at the maximum
Another point driven home was that
1t appears that the present age is Civ
ing too much attention to clean bodies
and not enough to clean minds. The
people who attended Shakespeare
plays in those London times were I'M
kempt, not at all sartorial. yet they
patroniZed the CleaneSt drama of all
time and had heart and soul for the
beauty and truth it presented. The
popular hero of today is Charley Chap.
lin, OF the yesterday, Shakespeare,
said DR.. Walsh, and he left it to h.
child audience to see the point. The
people of Shakespeare's day had good
taste; of today, refinement, and he
asked his listeners to look up the dis
tinction and observe it. Too much at,
tention to the body. too little attention
to the mind and the arts was the label
Of the present century.
1t was a valuable discourse for
growing girls, the courtesy of which
was much appreciated by the Sisters
Of the Visitation. Dr. Walsh won tho
Laetare medal this year. which is Civ
en- by NOtre Dame every two years to
the man or woman who has done dis
tinguished work in literature. 1t is a
coveted honor.
Father Harmon of St Ambrose col
lege. Davenport, made DR.. Walsh &C
quainted with his young audience, and
after the lecture the order arranged
an impromptu reception for the seniors
at which DR.. Walsh COunseled them
merrily and wisely on the coming
presentation of their class play, which
is to be las You Like It."

HAUL AT MARKET
Naab Brothers. in Haste 10 Go Into
the Country. Leave S120 in Cash
Register and Depart.
PROVIDERS FORCE IN REAR DOOR
Police Refuse to State Whether Any
One is Under Suspicion, But Ar.
rests Are Expected Soon.

Naab Brothers were in haste to
leave their meat market at 62S Twelfth
street last night to go into the coun-
try to buy cattle. They left $120 in
the cash register.
Today when one of the proprietorS
opened the market the money was
gone. A broken door in the rear of
the building told the story. The door
had been pushed in, presumably with
a heavy board.
The owners of the market told the
police today that it is not customary
for them to leave money in the place.
Last night they were in haste, how
ever, to get into the country and ac-
cordingly did not check over the reg
lister or remove the cash. They trust
ed that it would be untouched.
Whether or not the providers were
familiar with the fact that the owners
had left the money in the register the
police were unable to say today Au-
thOritieS would not say whether or
not any persons were under suspicion
but it is understood that the police
are working on clew and that ar
rests will follow shortly.
May Be Connection.
Indications are that novices perpe-
trated the job. 1t may be that the
yeggs who attempted to crack the safe
in the Independent Jobbing company
office, Twenty-third street and Third
avenue, Monday night, are the same
who burglarized the Naab meat mar
ket last night Police would not say
today whether or not they believed
that there is any connection between
the two cases. No arrests have been
made in the safe-cracking case.
