shubert-Garrich-"Mscbcth.,

There was time, denominated by
the oldsters as the palmy days, when
dramatic reviewer who didn't
know Shakespearean Interpretation
in encyclopedia detail and three
score adjectives was a mere neo-
phyte, hardly beyond the prepara-
tory stage for his life task and his
august mission. We Philistines of
the present age probably would be
more ashamed of an aching void of
Ignorance regarding Ibsen or Pinero
or Shaw than regarding the i'm
mortal bard OF Stnatford- on-A Avon.
o tempora! o mores!
There Is at least one actor on the
American stage, however. who is
holding aloft the classic torch. and
finding a public far. far removed
from that which fiocks to the stalls
when the latest bedroom farce or
the latest Broadway thriller is
pitchforked over the footlights.
Robert b. Mantell has been doing
the classic roles" for 10 these many
years, and doing them courageously
well, in view OF the trend of the
times and the mood of the populace.
Since Sothern and Marlowe retired
in affluence, he is the single remain
ing actor of consequence who has
what once was proudly known as
classic repertoire. Undaunted he
does those things which our fore
fathers were wont to treat with rev.
erence, but which our needless bour-
geoisie of today treats with Jest.
That eerie, weltering Scotch trag-
edy OF guilty conscience, Macbeth"
was the Mantell offering of last eve-
ming at the Shubert-Garrick. Eliza
bethan stagecraft is somewhat diff
ferent from the Belascan, as you
may have guessed. and kings with
tinsel crowns and weather-baten
thrones are not regal creatures in
an age when chorus girls wear 5000
gowns and almost any musical COM
edy can boast of an expensive Urban
setting. But Shakespearean drama was
never meant to be given with seem
cry at all, and never was in its orig
inal estate at the Globe Theater in
old London town. It took Henry
Irving and Herbert Tree to turn
Shakespeare into psgeantry.
Mantell's reading of those magnlf-
icent rhetorical passages in Mac
beth" was excellent. That rich.
concessions to time, and has a power
of shading possessed by no other
voice on the American stage today.
with the exception of Otis Skinner's
and Walter Hampden's. He is now,
as always. a tragedian OF power.
force, and effectiveness. His hand
ling of the murder and the banquet
scenes was theatrically effective in
the highest degree. No touch OF
modernity marred the impersona-
tion: it is blood-cousin of those
given by Forrest, Mccullough. the
Booths, and the other worthless of a
forgotten day.
Miss hamper played Lady Macbeth
adequately, lacking, perhaps, the au-
thority and force necessary TO imper-
senate such a bloodthirsty Amazon.
Mr.. Lieber made an excellent Mac
duff. and the cast was of the normal
Mantell quality.
The public of Washington is in
real debt to Mr.. Mantell for this re-
vival OF one of the great tragedies
of the language. Tonight he gives
Hamlet in which role he Is bet
ter known here, perhaps, than in any
other.

Much Work Awaits President.

Much Work Awaits President.
In addition the President would be
unlikely to assume a long-distance
dictatorship Of. post preliminary
peace" problems such as the future
Of Poland. Czecho-Slovakia and Jugo-
Slavia. all nations whose cause he
has champloned since the entree of
the United States in the war.
Upon his return to Washington,
however. the President will find an
accumulation of work which is apt
to keep him engaged for more than a
month. The business condition OF the
United States is one which needs
distinct assistance from the govern
ment in order that conditions may
again become normal There has
been much controversy between diff
ferent departments Of the govern
ment Iately-such as the disagree
ment between the railroad admins
tration and the industrial board Of
the Department OF Commerce over
the price Of steeI-which has certain
ly not put business in a complacent
frame Of mind.
Then, too, there is the problem of
thousands Of returning soldiers. who
find themselves applauded when pa
rading in mass formation down the
home town" streets. but who are
experiencing trouble in the finding of
that in which they are most inter
ested-jobs-
VIII He Appeal to PeopIef
With a Republican Congress on his
hands the President may discover
some opposition in a plan to return
to Europe a third time. but II this
arises he may attempt to dissipate it
by a Swing around the circle" tell
ing the people what the peace con-
ference has accomplished, and what
he thinks he might be further able
10 accomplish by a third trip to
France.
In the event the President decides
to cross the ocean again he is ex-
pected to leave the United States in
the latter part of May or early June,
and be in France ten days later. This
Will give him sufficient time to take
a leading part in the final stages of
the permanent treaty of peace. in
uhich he intends the league OF ma
tions to be Incorporated.
II seems assured now that Con-
Eress will be called into session
carly in May and that the mass OF
business before it will mean con-
tinuous action until next December
when the next regular session be-
gins. The President is expected to
open the session with probably his
first address on American soil since
his speech in New York last month
It will be the Presidents first ex-
T. perience in addressing a Congress
with a Republican majority and this
novelty. in the opinion of official
washington. will greatly add to the
interest in his speech.
