HOW SHAKESPEARE PAYS.
lThc PhIladelphia Public Ledger.l

Those who say that the higher drama. and par

that there is something else in life besides moneyed
success They unaware that in holding TO those
things that have everything peal art tested
by all times they are doubly repaid ways that
cannot be estimated in ordinary dollars and cents.

the sound OF the spoken word IS still potent And the

interpreter have a thrilling effect. The
