The Rest Is Silence

is to be more than an actor-and onlv
few Hamlets have been that.
The Hamlet of Walter Hampden has
not yet reached that point. But the
months that have interviewed between
the first few simple performances and
those now at the Thirty ninth Street
Theatre have brought to the part a re-
markable finish and substance. There
is too much in the character Of the
prince to allow it to spring full armed
from the moment. 1t is q part to
grow and take on strength over months
and years, like an individual life. Wal
ter Hampden appears to have pondered
over 1T, given it all of his devotion.
He has inched in here, spread out
there, blown into pallid passages the
rosy hue of life. He is more passion
ate than before, more assured Of his
points, gives finely and truthfully the
illusion of moving upon impulse, as
people do actually. His movements
have a vivacity and energy they lacked
somewhat. He has expanded the figure
into man.
Yet only at the end does he withdraw
from the dust and turmoil Of the the
atrlc world he inhabits and remove
Hamlet to that calm immortal level on
which at his best he should always
stand. It is the script that is to his
aid there. No escape is to be had from
the calm despair of Shakespeare him
self 1t was the poet who said ines
capably THE rest Is silence" knowing
that in life for those who listen closely
the rest is always silence.

By Ralph Block

To catch a small handful of the mys-
terry of living and put it into a play Is
enough to transcend all the trickery Of
staging, the craftiness of making illu-
sions. Hamlet" which still whispers
a word half understood to the soul Of
human beings, beats its way to great
ness past much that is petty, much that
IS merely of the stage, creatures of
the desire to intrigue and divert the
simple varlets Of an Elizabethan pit.
If Hamlet" is only tale Of sickly
prince who nursed poor anger against
his fathers secret slayer until it had
grown to working proportions, it is less
than nothing. Even the pattern of
mounting disaster, satisfying some Sc
cret human desire to Justify its moral
lty, to prove that sin metes out deadly
wages Unfortunately everywhere, is
not enough to account for the hidden
power of Hamlet" over the magma
ton. When it is we'll played it catches
kind Of lusty human flavor, a kind of
proper theatric amusement with the
inanities and stuodities Of people, that
has its deserved place. But not any of
this nor the fine garment of its poetic
expression is enough for greatness;
that springs from a lofty and tragic
pessimism which could bear to see the
whole of mans life for what it is and
not be afraid.
What was divinely hungry in Shake
speare for something surprising the
Attie truths of men, in Hamlet" out
faced the demands Of mere theatrical
truth and reached up to kind of i'm
mortality. In the end Hamlet" is the
lonely figure of mans life at its high
est and gravest moments, walking like
a shadow before curtain dark with
shadows. 1t lacks the explanation
which is equally missing in life. Only
events are solved in it; what is behind
them remains dark and unanswering.
The measure in which an actor play
ing Hamlet removes himself from the
merely mortal bondage of it is the real
test of his quality. To play the part
vigorously, with cultivation, humanely
and intelligently, as good many
gentlemen in their time have learned to
90, fills amply the ordinary mould of
the actors art, and might almost rest
him there with credit But to give with
strangcness a few swift moments of
what is hidden and impalpable in life

International Film
Exchange Organized

John D. Tippett, an American, who
mas been operating the film industry
in England for the past six years,
recently arrived in America for the
purpose of forming the first interna-
tlonal film exchange ever organized,
with headquarters in London and New
York City. London will undoubtedly
dominate the film markets of the world
in the future" said Mr.. Tippett,
because the European market, now
that the war is over, will assume more
and more Importance to the American
producer-and London is the natural
key to the entire European film situa-
tion-and also because English film
producers are determined to have their
place in the film world"

When Otis Skinner arrived In New
York several months ago to begin his
engagement in "The Honor of the Fam
lily" at the Globe Theatre, it will be
recalled that he was much mystified by
play manuscript that had been left
for him at the box Office by man in
sailor uniform. The writer had not
given the work any title and had also
neglected to put on the script hs-or
her-name or address or any indication
whatever of his-or her-address.
Mr.. Skinner read the play and liked
1t and passed it on to ALT Hayman
general manager for Charles Frohman,
Inc, who thought so we'll of it that
he announced that if the playwright
would only step forward he was ready
to talk business to him--or hcr-at
once
"Ill give the author a contract" said
Mr.. Hayman, "pay him-or her--the
usual advance royalties and do every
thing else necessary to secure the
rights of the play for Mr.. Skinner"
Yesterday Mrs. Otis Skinner called
upon Mr.. Hayman in his office at the
Empire Theatre.
owe come for the contract for my
play" said Mrs. Skinner.
what play?" asked Mr.. Hayman,
very much surprised.
"My play, of course" said Mrs. Skin
ner. "You said in the papers you were
ready to give it to me--and advance
royalties, too"
Then it all came out. Mrs. Skinner
had written a play and to test it's
worth had submitted it anonymously.
"But," Mr.. Hayman wanted to know,
when you found out that Otis liked
the play why didn't you tell him you
had written it 2"
"a woman's reason" replied Mrs.
Skinner. "Whcn he seemed so pleased
with it and talked so much about it |
lost my nerve completely and l didn't
dare tell him / was the author. I
haven't told him yet"
Mr.. Hayman appreciated the situa-
ton. He had the necessary contract
made out; also a liberal check for adj
vance royalties. He signed them both

years old when she played her first

her own home. However, the reward
for her first "bit" was not a nice notice

JEROME DISTRICT TO HAVE NEW IMPROVED
 MINING MACHINERY

The Jerome district is rapidly near Ing the time when it will have big steam shovel copper mine in addition 10 the old fashioned kind, according to the information brought to the capitol yesterday by Charles R. Howe, of the tax commission, who has just returned from there.
 The Verde Tunnel and Clarkdale railroad is being completed into Jerome at the town level, giving much better access than the former arrangement. It goes up the mountain from the en- trance to the Hopewell tunnel by a series of switchbacks until it reaches the town of Jerome. From Jerome it will continue by sw1tchbaclls up the mountain, and when the top is reached the United Verde Copper company will begin the mining of the low grade ore of which the entire mountain is com 1 posed, digging it out and loading it into the cars with steam shoYelS, as is done in the famous copper mines operated near Salt Lake City by Jackling.
 Jerome is destined to have much bet ter access by automobile road in the near future, also, the road now being l constructed by the highway depart ment between Prescott and Jerome 1 more than cutting the distance in two and going right over the mountains.

$50 PAR VALUE THE BEST NEWS YET ABOUT BLACK LIME

We nave been teillnS you Tn our au- vertisements the good progress being made in drilling BLACK LINES TWO WELLS, and that every effort was be- s ing made to BRING IN A CUSTER WITHIN THE NEXT THIRTY DAYS. 2
 Saturday we received a number of telegrams that we consider the best BLACK LIME NEWS to date. One tells of the bringing in of the SOUTH LAND WELL which brings PRoDUC- TION within a half mile of the BLACK LINES HODGE LEASE, where drill ing is in progress, and absolutely proves up this lease and doubles the value of Northern Comanche County Field, outrivaling Burkburnett's won- derful record.
 The second telegram states that Mir. Riggle of the BLACK LIME OIL COMPANY expressed to the FL PASO OFFICE a gallon of oil from the SOUTHLAND WELL, and that ex-s. citement is running high in the DUKE FIELD, single acres in DESDEMONAE leasing at ten thousand dollars per acre.
 The third telegram from the SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DRILL- 3 ING COMPANY, who is in charge of BLACK LINES drilling operations. tells of orders for substantial blocks of BLACK LIME stock being received from the east; that they themselves are holding a big block as a PERMA-f NEWT INVESTMENT, urges the peo- pie of the Southwest to buy BLACK LIME stock NOW while they can get it at par, as they cannot tell just when it will be withdrawn from the. market. The telegram goes on to say that GOOD PROGRESS IS BEING MADE ON BLACK LINES TWO WELLS NOW DRILLING.
 Summing up all this good news of new development, bringing PRODUC- TION within one-half mile of BLACK LINES lease, we ADVISE you to BUY BLACK LIME, and BUY IT AT ONCE, if you are contemplating get ting in on this GREAT OIL OPPOR- TUNITY. Any day now we may be forced to announce the fact that BLACK LIME is OVERSUBSCRIBED. Read the three telegrams on the left, then make your check out for as much BLACK LIME as you can afford.
