Boston, and for that reason his book
ings were extended beyond the usual
period of Il single week
Since his last visit to Washington.
Mr.. Hampden has added 20 his roper
toire. To his brilliant characterize
tion of Hamlet, Romeo, and Shylock
he has added The Tanning or the
Shrew.' in which he is seen, of course
as the willy Petrouchio, subduer OF
the famed Katherine. In this role.
he has equalled the success that has
marked his appearance in other
Shakespearesn parts. flavoring with
fine distinctions the subtle gradatfons

In view of the fact that there have
been but few Shakespesresn ventures
within recent seasons, 1t is obvious
that definite problem was presented
to Walter Hsmpden when he began
to recruit his forces for Hamlet" A
quarter century ago, for instance, II
would have been a simple matter to
find competent players well versed in
what are called the "traditions' of
the bard But, save FOR older men
and women, no such condition OBJ
tains today. Mr.. Hampden cut the
Gordian knot with characteristic
boldness, and in so doing demonstra-
ted that tho problem is far from
being as difficult mad been
thought
1T is true" said Mr.. Hampden in
discussing the matter. that the
younger actor. have had little. IL any,
experience. But ] believe there is
scarcely a player of sincere purpose
who does not in his heart ardently
hope to play Shakespeare--hence the
raw material at least has the de-
sire to know.
Further. | personally think that
much too much is made Of that word
traditions 1t has become or did be-
come a fetch. l believe that Shakes
peare does not need n vast knowledge
Of these traditions, at least on the
part OF the newer eXponents.
And 7 most earnestly believe that
Shakespeare should be played natur-
ally. That does not mean collCqiilly,
OF course,>for his plays are written in
"A different mold; but II does mean
that the characters should be played
as though they were live, sentient
beings.
81 try to make this clear TO the
people who come to me, and l am
glad to say that ] have had very lit
tie difficulty in finding excellent ma
terial-though it is perhaps true that
| must be a little more patient and
not expect results at once And the
older actors rarely want to rant
Once they discover that that is the
very last thing I desire. they are only
too pleased to play easily and natur-
ally"
