way, the point of the matter is, that the
artistry which he makes SO manifest
comes to him, not from without, but
from within. 1t is in his blood. And
he was brought up in the atmosphere of

The last sentence is characteristic OF
Conrad Nagel. He has about him an
air of equanimity which admits of no
doubt. He has a complacence and an
earnestness and a belief which is due
partly to given youth and partly to
given ability, both of which are in
dubitable. And he believes, which is
mature, in taking things easily, slowly,
learning as one goes. He would like to
play Hamlet -; he would like to play
"Oswald" in Ibsen IS s"Ghosts and

thumbed copies of both of these-but
he is studying then and playing the

We have passed the stage when we
described the blue eyes and the gold
hair of the players, or the profile, or
the inches 80. and yet there is always
reversion. Conrad Nagel reminds one
of a Greek statue come suddenly alive.
He has the clean-cut lines, the hint of
sternness, the immortal youth E. more
than any other quality is that of youth
. that sense he gives one of the May
time of life =. that freshness of
vision =. that perennial hope. If he.
can give that to a world, war-weary and
pain weary, he need not turn to the
=" Melancholy Dane" nor yet to the
subtle Ibsen /. these will last so long
as we ourselves :. but youth is gift |
which a young god must bring.

of the word from headquarters calling
off the strike, but in orders the action
of the men was considered doubtful.
Reports from the various coal fields
since the strike was called indicate that
many union men contend that the gen.
eral committee OF the miners has no
authority to rescind the order for the
strike. which, they assert, was decided
by the regular convention of the United
Mine Workers, at Cleveland in Sep
tember.
In case the recall order should be is
sued by the miners general committee
ana some Of the individual members OF
the union refused to recognize the au-
thority of the order and remain idle,
any action contemplated by the govern
ment could not be learned this morning.
A hint. however, was given during the
proceedings in the United States district
court here saturday, when Judge An
derson said:
The Lever act makes it unlawful
conspiracy for two or more persons to
arrange to limit the production Of coal.
That is perfectly apparent to me. Every.
body knows that
No action, however, is planned by the
government until after the time set by
Judge Anderson for the issuance of the
strike recall order. Meanwhile attor.
neys for the union were said to be busy
preparing their case for an appeal TO
the United States circuit court OF ap.
peals in Chicago.
