Hackett'S New Conception
of Tragedy of Macbeth

tions of Macbeth after the murder has
been committed, otherwise than by in
/ terpreting the character as ! have in
terpreted it, / cannot imagine.
Every other Macbeth | ever heard
Of was painted deep dyed scoundrel
from curtain to curtain. l prefer to
consider Macbeth a perfectly human
human, led into his errors step by step
by the circumstances and influences
that surround him. Is not this the his
tory of the development of most vii
lians in real ifel | think it is.
1 elbow little real attention ever has
been given to the production of Mae
beth is clearly shown, [ believe, in the
long procession of sheeted and for the
most part rather heavy set ghosts that
stalk and prowl boldly through the
conservative production of Macbeth.
Had those who made the presenta-
tions paused a moment to consider,
they would have realized that Shake
speare was compelled to write down to
his audiences, which were much more
from Missouri than the audiences of to-
day. When Shakespeare wanted to pre-
sent a ghost to his audience, he had to
present ghost that was a very ghast-
ly ghost and plainly labelled: This is
a GhostL
"Were Shakespeare alive and writing
Macbeth today, he would have no such
palpable apparition. | believe he would
quite agree with me. l have merely
the suggestion of ghost, made by a
Pickering green light upon the scarlet
velvet of chairback, or fluttering
here and there about some corner Of
the room. Macbeth really saw no
ghost, you know; it was merely part of
the imaginings of half-crazed man
such as / interpret Macbeth to be just
after the murder.
''I believe Macbeth is the most diff
ferent and generally Stunned of Shake
spearean roles. 1t has come to be a
tradition among players that to have
part in the presentation or even to
quote Mqacbeth is bound to bring dis
aster.
al do not believe this any more than
/ believe the old nonsense about
Shakespeare being unpopular with the
public. The great trouble always has
been that Shakespeare has been made
unpopular by being presented to the
public by players who did not know
how to play Shakespeare,
"Booth S Hamlet invariably played
to packed houses. The same is true of
Keene's Othello and my fathers Fal-
staff. That was because each in his
respective sphere knew how to play
Hamlet and OthellO and Falstaff.
'1t is my ambition to play Macbeth.
Played at and around and about, Mae
beth unquestionably has been; but
Macbeth himself, the real, the true
Macbeth, never has been played"

watch on them. That wouldn't have
been good form, in the circumstances;
but if the Germans can do it any faster
they are entitled to crow.
Concentrated efficiency, readiness for
any emergency, but above all the
breezy, boyish optimism of these sea-
fighters which the nervous strain Of
constant vigilance or the down-hearted-
ness of some of the folks back home
has failed to disturb in the slightest
degree-these are the impressions one
cannot fail to carry away after day
spent with the Cat Squadron.

New York, Feb. 19.-The sort of
Macbeth who strobe upon the board:
in the person of James X. Hackett
here the other night was strange and
puzzling being to the critics. He bore
the garb and style, but not the mind
Of their Macbeth; and their welcome
to the Thane was not warm one.
That this rather limp palmed greet
ing was possibility not at all un-
forseen by Mr.. Hackett, was evidenced
by his words to the writer several days
prior to the opening of his Shakespear-
can season with Viola Allen at the
Criterion:
''If five years suffice to establish
ably in the critics minds / shall feel
ably nj the critics minds | shall feel
that / have accomplished my task in
record time. / hope and believe that
it will be much sooner welcomed by
the public.
"My fathers Falstaff was howled
down. His best friends pleaded with
him to drop it, His reply was that if,
at the end Of five years he had not
firmly established himself in the
hearts and minds of critics and public,
he would abandon the role. He played
it for forty years; and / am quite will
ing to leave the present day standing
of my fathers Falstaff to speak for
itself.
81 expect my Macbeth to be severely
criticised, but on the fly leaf of my
prompt book you will find the note on
which / base all that 1 have done in
my Interpretation of Macbeth, and up
on which shall stand for exactly five
years. 1t reads:
I" shakespeare threw all tradition to
the winds in writing his plays, so 1
propose to do likewise in my interpre
tation Of the character of Macbeth
and in the Interpretation of other
characters of the play if | shall deem it
essential
"The atmosphere pervading the play
Of Macbeth is that of Evil. Intrigue
and unscrupulous ambition abound
throughout the incidents. This has led
not only present day critics, but 80
ilmstrious a player as Sir Henry Irv-
ing to paint Macbeth himself as a
black hearted villain with his mind
bent on the murder of Duncan even be
fore the rise of the curtain upon the
first act.
81 cannot understand how a man
with the gigantic brain of Sir Henry
Irving could so miseoneeive the true
character of the big, bluff, good
hearted warrior who, through the sub
tie suggestions of his ambitious wife
and the influences of the same stripe
which she brings to bear upon him, is
fired at last with something of her
vile spirit of conquest and finally is
moved to murder.

aeroplanes, or quietly rubbering along
the German coast
They are too busy to grumble even
if they felt like it, Back in London
cabinet members were resigning; Labor
was threatening to boycott the war;
politicians generally were making a
frightful fuss; the pessimists were hav-
ing the time of. their lives and even the
dyedin the-woOl optimists were sadly
shaking their heads. But here all was
peace and quiet and cheerfuness and
work. We talked with men of all
grades, from the youthful-looking
Commodore to the veteran oiler and
politics wasn't mentioned once the whole
day. They had no curiosity as to
what was going on at Westminster.
The overturning of the government or
even the abdication of the king would
make no difference to them. Their
work was cut out when Winston
Churchill, week before war was de-
clared, started the Grand Fleet for the
stations where it would do the most
good, and they are going to keep right
at the Job until the finish.
This rendezvous of the Cat Squadron
is one of the most important outposts
Of the Empire. Here, in com
modious and well-guarded harbor, are
assembled practically every typ of
naval vessel, with the exception of
Dreadnoughts Besides swift light
cruisers of the Arethusa type, and the
latest 1916 model of destroyers, there is
an imposing flock of ''E" submarines,
also mine-layers and minesweepers,
colliers, tankers, supply ships of var.
ious kinds, airplane carriers that look
like huge house-boats, drifters and
trawlers, not to mention motor boats
"made in America. -
1t was in one of the latter that we
were permitted to cruise about the har
Dor and finally to visit the most shot
up ship in the British navy, the Are
thusa Despite her numerous sears
and patches she suffers from no in
tenal complaint. They call her the
Saucy Arethusa and she looks the part,
Also her record proves it. She has
been in every publicly recorded scrap
in the North Sea since the war started
and in several unofficial ones about
which nothing is to be said. Her chief
trophy is the Blueher, which she tor

More interesting than the details Of

days, among both officers and men, The
officers we met today average in age
probably ten years younger than those
in similar positions in the American
navy. AS an exhibition Of Quiekness Of

transported to shore, where they landed
safely and dug themselves in. Two
days later the men were ordered to
clear the Turks from Anafarta.
Colonel Beauchamp was at their head
with Captain Beck. The attack de-.
veloped rapidly. Enfiladed by Turk
ish fire, many of them dropped wound
ed or dead, but the others swept on
through the village and into oblivion.
News has filtered through via
Switzerland that thirteen of those who
charged through Anafarta are prison
ers in Constantinople. But it has
developed that these men fell wound
ed before the mysterious darkness of
the forest was Reached. Long before
Gallipoli was evacuated the Mystery
Forest was retaken by the Turks. This
event sealed the puzzle tighter than
ever.
Among those who charged with Cap

agent, were the kings plumber, gard
ner, gamekeeper, woodman, golf fore

tions. Like their fathers and their

royal servants.
Every Sunday in all the parish

Daniel J. Fry, the popular druggist,
has been in the drug business long
enough to have his own opinion of the
best way of selling medicines. He says
the plan adopted by Mi-o-na, the great
dyspepsia remedy, is the fairest he has
ever heard of. He doesn t believe that
medicine ought to be paid for unless
it does the user some good. And Mi-o-
ma is sold under a positive guarantee
to relieve dyspepsia or to refund the
money. You simply leave so cents on
deposit with Daniel ]. Fry and if, after
you have used the box of Mi-o-na you
decide that it has done you no good, all
you have to do is to tell him so and he
will return your money.
Hundreds of people have been relieved
Of stomach agonies by using this re-
markable remedy. 1t is not simply a
food digester; it is medicine that puts
all of the digestive organs into normal
condition and gives ruddy, glowing, Wig
orous health. A change for the better
will be seen after the first few doses
of Mi.o-na, and its continued use will
soon give the power to cat anything at
any time and not suffer distress after
ward.
Mi-o-na is sold under a positive guar
antee to refund the money if it does
not cure. This is the strongest proof
that can be offered as to the merit of
the medicine.
Nothing lessons mans success in
his work or woman s fascinating per
sonality more than a weak stomach
with its attending evils. Use Mi-o-ns

1t is the talk of England, the great
est mystery of the war, the charge of
the Fifth Norfolks, the Kings own
servants, at Anafarta. The story of
how these 260 "ardent souls" charged
on through the village of Anafarta
and completely vanished into the "for-
est of death beyond is history that
some day may take its place beside
that of the immortal tale of Balaklava.

forest through which the "Lost
Legion" swept on in Gallipoli has
been searched time and time again.
There have been found no bodies, no

William Beck, who commanded the
Legion. Captain Beck is missing with
all of his command.

the royal Sandringham estates of West
