LOPE DE VEGA.

The first celebrated Spanish dra- matist, and the most prolific play wright of any time or nation, was Lope de Vega, who died 283 years ago today, Aug. 26, 1853, at the age of seventythree. He left behind him no less than 1900 plays, every one of which had been produced during his lifetime. No other dramatic author in history has evex approached this record. Lope began to dictate poetry at the age of five, before he could write, and at seventeen he wrote and produced his first drama, "Dorothea." Poet soldier courier, adventurer, ecclesiastic, wherever he was or what ever his occupation he always found time to write plays. Although priest during the last quarter century of his life, when the major portion of his dramas were written, many of his productions were so Hcentious that, while acted, they could not be printed His published plays, the less objec- tionable ones, fill twenty-six quarto volumes, but those which were not printed were thrice as many. On one occasion Lope de Vega wrote five plays in two weeks, and a drama . week was considered child's play by this prolific author.
