Today We Celebrate
Shakespeare's Wife.

Today Is the anniversary of the
death of Mrs. Anne Shakespeare, wife
pr the Bard OF Avon, who breathed
ner last at Stratford-on-Avon, August
., 1928, having survived her husband
by more than seven years.
mere 10 reason to believe that
S~hakespeare's domestic life was not
happy, and that his entrance Into the
married state was not altogether VOL
untary on his part Shakespeare was
pareiy nineteen years old when he
TOOK Anne Hathaway as his lawful
welded spouse. The bride, eikht wears
MS senior. was the daughter Of a we'll
to-oo yoeman at the neighboring nam
let OF shottery. At that time Anne
days brought upon her the reproaoh

scented her boy husband with a daugh-
Ter, n subsequently gave birth to
twins, q boy and q girl, and the
happy-go-lucky Will Shakespeare
was brought to the realization that
Tor the head of a family, life Is a very
serious proposition.
The circumstances surrounding
their marriage. and the disparity in
their ages, probably made Shakes
a and his wife a poorly mated
pair, and not altogether c~ongenial.
RMS much is suggested by Shakes
peares Will, in which his wife is men
toned only in q few interlined words
apparently added as an afterthoueht'
In the body of the will requests were
made to his two daughters. Judith and
susanna, the former being later Mrs.
quincy and the latter becoming Mrs.
Han; to his sister. Joan Hart, and her
three sons, and to a considerable nun.
Der OF friends and acquaintances. In
the body Of the will there was no
mention whatever Of Mrs. Shakes
peare; but in an interlined bequest he
wrote: Il give unto my wife nv sec
ond-best bed. with the furniture"
1t would seem from this that when
shakespeare wrote his will he forgot
that he had a wife. although it would
seem that the mention of his daugh-
ters might have recalled It to his
memory, but that her existence was
afterward brought to his attention
and the interlined bequest was added
BY law, however. Mrs. Shakespeare
inherited a third of her husbands es-
tate, so she was not left destitute.
Anne Shakespeare was buried In
Stratford Church.

William Duncan. star and director
of Nitagraph's stirring serial play,
"A Fight for Millions" showing at
the Lyric theater today, seems TO
bear a charmed life. In the making
Of these serials, the actors take all
kinds Of risks. and Duncan, more
than any other, is known to take
greater chances than any other man
on the screen. But despite slides and
falls down mountain sides, leaps
across wide chasms. terrific riding
stunts and plunges into wild torrents.
he has never suffered an injury
which neCeSsitated attention.
This IL "A remarkable record, when
it is taken into consideration that
Duncan has produced and acted in
three 15-episode serials within n
year. each of which was months in
the making,
Duncan's freedom from injury
probably is due to the fact that he Is
a skilled athlete and thorough man
Of the outdoors. He is an expert rope
climber, broad jumper, swimmer,
horseman. wrestler. boxer, etc, and
knows how to take care OF himself
in any situation.
