Sir Herbert Tree in "Henry VIII"

One OF the most important dramatic
events of the season will be the ap-
appearance OF Sir Herbert Beerbohm
Tree, at the New National Theater for
one week only. beginning Monday,
March 5. with matinees Wednesday and
Saturday, in his sumptuous revival of
shakespeare's Henry VIII"
The production of Henry VIII"
which will be seen In this city, was
first shown at His Maiesty's Theater In
London six years ago, when it achieved
a run Of 266. perforuapces-the. longest
run OF a Shakespearean play. Last
the New Amsterdam Theater In New
York, where 1t scored the success Of
the season.
Percy Macquoid, r. l., is responsible
for the setting and costumes He Is
said to have succeeded remarkably in
"recreating". the atmosphere of the
time in which the drama takes places.
For the costume worn by Henry VIII,
Holbein's portrait Of the king that once
decorated the walls Of Whitehall. is
used. Though the original portrait was
destroyed. a copy still exists at Bal
voir Castle, and it is this which Lyn
Harding uses as guide for his make
up of the character.
One of the effective scenes in the
play is the representation Of West
minister in the last act. The costumers
and the decorators are said to have
awaited themselves Of the opportunity
to illustrate that love of pageantry for
which the second Tudor king was
famous. In the space of one year 1t Is
recorded that the king spent $250,000
on the wardrobe and costumes of his
attendants, provision being made even
for his gardeners to be dressed in vel
vet.
Henry VIII" with all its wealth of
pomp and circumstance, 1t has been
said, shows Sir Herbert Tree in his
best role, that of Cardinal Wolsey.
Edith Wynne Matthson. well remem-
bered for her portrayals of classic and
modern heroines will be seen as Queen
Katharine. and Miss Elsie Mackay acts
the role OF Anne Bullen. A company
of $50 players will support Sir Her
bert.
An interesting feature of the revival
will be the use of Edward Germans
Henry VIII" music, some Of which was
specially composed for this production:
Old English dances are introduced and
a song composed by Henry himself 10
sung during the progress Of the play.

Montpelier yesterday was not as large

it was enough. Mr.. Cudworth Of Lon

opposition to the proposed important
change. He thought the newspapers
had not advanced sufficient argu-
ment for their support of the gov

here is little one from the St. Johns

ing: Without board of control the
voters of the state can vote economy
and a dozen state officers and commits

With board of coltrol a vote OF

Vagaries of Voting.
(Athol Transcript

The vagaries of the voting on the Ii
cense question are quite as marked this
year as ever, and It is clear that pub-
lie opinion is no nearer agreement on
the subject than ever. For instance,
Brattleboro gave the largest no-license
majority IN its history-407, while
Greenfield increased its license vote
from 796 last year to l ,191 last Tues
day. These two large towns are very
much alike III general intelligence,
prosperity and public spirit. One
would suppose that LEGAL interests
would animate them about the same
way, as they do ia most things. But
Greenfield goes for license steadily
every year, while Brattleboro is equally
firm the other way.
