HAMPDEN'S SHYLOCK WINS RESPECT
And Sympathy When Others Haze Failed in This

which radiates the pride of race and
Shylock is a tragic flgure-so much SO
that at times the audience aids in car
rying the burden of the merchant.
The pattern which Mr.. HamDden fol-
lows in designing his Shylock has not
been used by other players of the part
He has studied the textile appears to
have turned the pages of the play in an
intelligent and honest way to get at the
very .Zheart Of his character. His love
of race and religion causes Mr.. Hamp-
denis ShyIock tc turn loose the wrath
of storm on the circumstances which
caused his daughter, Jessica, to run away
with Lorenzo. In this scene of discovery
of the act of his daughter, Mr.. Hamp-
den's Shylock mounts to the highest dra-
matte plane. The controlled passion of
ages sweeps across the stage until 1t
rocks Shylock's very being, sweeping
him before the court demanding his
pound Of flesh nearest the heart of An
tonic. He demands to receive Justice,
that which the law gives and tho court
must allow Antonio and his friends beg
for mercy, but when the tables are turned
Shylock begs for the same mercy. His
life being spared, he limps out of the
cOurtroOm-a man wrecked IN body and
soul.
Hampden's Shylock abides by the de-
cree of the court. His Shylock picks
up the burden of his ancestors and car
ries the load back to his deserted and
wrecked home. Just as his Hamlet was
living thing, so is his ShylOck. Mr..
Hampden's greatest victory appears to
be his ability in putting a heart and
living soul in the characters of Shakes
peare. That is indeed a worthy tri-
umph.
AS magnificent as are the spoken words
Of Mr.. Hampden in the Shylock role. as
truly marvellous is his facial makeup.
He makes the face Of Shyloek a sort Of
mirror in which the sufferings, hopes,
passions and loves of his people are re-
hected. His Shylock is one which COM
mands and receives admiration.
1 am very fond Of Mary Halls Portia-
a very womanly and intelligent Portia.
Portia who is not too masculine or
burlesqued in the court scene, but one
OF sufficient strength to command re-
spect as q learned lawyer and yet pos
sessing true feminine tenderness.
In the version used by Mr.. Hampden,
Portia has been given due prominence.
