Of seeing things. | have always been
impressed by the fact that all the
Shakespeare lines are written from an
actors viewpoint. The right words
come in Just the right places.
NO one who has acted Shakespearian
parts for any considerable length OF
time can doubt that the lines were writ
ten BY an actor. II is feeling one gets
by constantly repeating the parts OF a
Shakespearian play. rather than by
study of rival theories. And TO me II
is the most convincing proof tnat Bacon
did not write single enc of the SHAKE
spearian dramas.
Bacon Lacked Humor.
Bacon had no sense OF humor.' said
Miss Myra Il. Martin. for three years
president Of the Shakespeare Club.
Zone can search his entire writings
without the inspiration for a single
smile. Yet the Shakespeare plays are
simply charged with fun. il is not fun
made TO order, but real. spontaneous
humor. l. is hUmo- that Sir Francis
Bacon. versatile though he was, could
never in the world have created. IL Is

"Fiftv wears Of study and reflection
have convinced me that there is no
foundation whatever for the Baconlan
theory. II has been successfully dis-
puted at every turn. The Chicago Judge
in his decision has wandered far from
