Walter HanpdenRen1inds Us
That Hamlet Is o. Great PLAY

not because he sorrowed greatly, not
because he reacted greatly to an evil
world, not because his passion was so
great as to finally throw him, but be-
cause above all he was a man of intel
hgence, of fine wit, of subtle temper
and great imagination
Forbes-Robertson made plain that all
the various controversies as to mad
ness and sanity had dulled tie edges Of
the picture; that Hamlet was more than
romantic and compelling figure in
stage play. He was first and finally a
man who lived a tremendous role in a
pageant whose human references tran
scended those that were merely aes-
thetic and dramatic. Hamlet" most
of all the plays, abounds in the pure
and absolute beauty that comes out Of
design, composition and rhythm. It is
so in its action, in the splendid music
of its lines, and, with contemporary
treatment, in the simplicity of its cur
tanned setting. Forbes Robertson was
never insensible to any of this. He
was fashioned par excellence 10 IN
derstand and take part in it. But to
this beauty, which was sensuous ard
aesthetic, he added another, the beauty
that comes out of a demonstration OF
intelligence pitted against fate and hu-
man destiny.
The Hamlet Of Walter Hampden has
much that is moving and awakening
about it. L was not an audacious
Hamlet to the point of instantly iden-
tifying the actor with an exclusive per
sonal Interpretation. But it is force
full, gravely imbued with understand
ing of the accumulated tragedy OF
things, and Mr.. Hampden Is himself
closely fitted by stature and tempera-
ment to the part. The entire produc-
ton is, indeed, so harmonious and so
much an achievement that the modern
attitude, whether it is built on trust or
scepticism, goes down before it, II re-
establishes Hamlet" again in that long
series of establishments before the
casual modern audience as a greatly
beautiful and powerful play.

Risks His Life
For q Laugh

There is little or the old Roman
lust for blood in the modern theatre
going public, according to Edwin Han
neford, the young star Of the whirl-
wind riding act introduced by Charles
Dillingham; as new feature amid the
myriad glories of Everything" at the
Hippodrome.
Young Hanneford, who appears with
his mother, brother and two sisters in
the act, is the fifth of that name to be
star rider in the English world OF
stage and circus and is at the top Of
his profession as a straight rider.
THE fact that there really is dan
ger in falling under the hoofs of a flv-
ing horse or walking on and off him
as he plunges around the ring, playing
leaptrog on him or standing on a din
ing table balanced precariously on his
back is just what gives the Jingle to
the laughter of the audience" declared
Hanneford. Zone could do exactly the
same tricks and be just as funny on
one Of those oldtime broad backed cir
Gus steeds, and it wouldn't get the
audience at all. But the minute Thun-
der, my little white thoroughbred, be-
gins to tear around the ring and they
feel that if anything went wrong there
might be a serious accident before their
eyes you can just feel the excitement
rising and a new thrill in the laughter
and applause. Every time take q fall
or escape being dashed to pieces by an
apparent miracle there are shouts of
startled laughter that must sound a
little as did the cheers of the old Ro-
man arena. For that reason always
use Thunder for the finish of the act
although he is we'll known in the circus
world as a bad horse and I was
warned against trying him in the limits
of forty-foot stage ring He is the
horse which dragged little May Wirth.
the Australian eques trienne, almost to
her death in the circus in Brooklyn a
few seasons ago. But he gives Just the
necessary speed and snap to the act.
He keeps performer on his mettle
for he is always nervous and excited
in the ring And the sight of clown
risking his neck for a laugh never fails
to get the crowd"
