Of the series which 1t will renier a
performance was given at the theater
on Sunday evening, April 2, at which
Sir Herbert BeerbOhm Tree, the great
English actor-manager, was a special
guest. He was accompanied by his
daughter. Miss Iris Tree, and Mrs.
Patrick Campbell.
The box occupied by the noted actor
and his party was decorated with red,
white and blue lights, Offset by Brit

ceived a warm welcome from the audi

served for them. The orchestra play

more wisely cooperate with organized

another feature OF work which DR..
Shepard proposes to develop.
The board OF trustees has made II
budget Of $32l 600 to be used for the
following purposes: For the endow-

building and class rooms, $4,000: for
dormitories. $4,000. and for central
heating and water plant, $4,000. The
board says Large schools cannot do
the real constructive work absolutely
needed to develop young race; hence
II n particular group of well selected
persons are reached and trained and

vast saving OF time and money. The
prime aim Is to lift the rnce into racial

The institution is supported entirely
by free will offerings. The monthly
expenses are $1,000. Notwithstanding
this large amount which DR. Shepard
has to raise each month. he has man

keep the school going. The institution

pride to Shakespeare himself to know
that his works were being played by
your people.
'Truly an imaginative touch occurs
in Julius Caesar when, Brutus and
Cassius and the rest of the conspira-
tors having killed Caesar, Cassius stops
the hnrangue and tumult to give utter

How many times shall this our lofty
scene be acted
Ger In states unborn and accents yet un-
known?
''Only Shakespeare could have
thought of this, and here is Shake
speare himself being acted Ger by all

Mr.. Tree then discussed the charac-
ter of Othello, whom he characterized
as the greatest gentleman Shakespeare
ever drew-''not only gentleman, but

Throughout his talk the audience,
which crowded the theater, listened at

the title role in "Othello," read the ac-

Among the many institutions for

the National Training school, Durham
