PUBLISHER TO PUT
SHAKESPEARE INTO
PAPER BACK BOOKS
Thinks Immortal .Bard's Stuff
Will be Popular-Is Made
Available to Public.

GIRARD. Kan, Aug. 20. -
Shakespeare's plays for a dime
This idea, originated by Emanuel
Haldeman-Julius and his wife, OF
this city. is responsible for the ere
alton Of a book business here that
may grow into large proportions.
In spite Of the apparent fondness
Of the American public for snappy
reading, as evidenced by the nu-
merous new and Jazzy periodicals
appearing on the news stands il is
the belief of Mr.. Haldeman-Julius
that back in the heads of the read
ing public there turks a strong de-
sire for more serious reading. par
ticularly for Shakespeare.
And so he is preparing TO bet a
million dollars on Shakespeare
and the American public!
1t won't take a whole dime. at
that. to get a copy of any of Shake
sreare's works henceforth. if Hal
deman-Julius' plans materialize.
Haldeman-Julius said recently
that he intends to offer to the
world during August thirty volumes
OF Shakespeare at less than eight
cents apiece.
He can make a profit even at
that price he explained. as he buys
paper in carload lots. prints a book
OF one size and style and operates
in a small town.
The Kansas bookseller has con-
verted a large two-stOry building
into a publishing house. with its
whirring presses and a busy aggre-
CATION OF girl workers.
Everyone who reads at ALL &C
cOrding to Haldeman-Julius. has
read Shakespeare, whose philos-
ophy Is as good today as it was
centuries ago when he wrote it.
What I'm trying TO do, he said,
is TO get Shakesrea care out of the
handsomely bound volume class and
into the paper-back periodical so
that everybody may have an Oppor-
tunity to read him"
Mrs. Haldeman-Julius. co-wOrker
in the enterprise. is a Bryn Mawr
graduate. a former actress and a
