The most famous Hdn,let by an Amer
lean was that of Edwin Booth. The cele-
brated actor played the role at the New
Fifth Avenue Theater on October 25,
1875, with Jeffreys Lewis as Ophetd
and Maurice Barrymore, Johns father,
as Laertes. Tho New Fifth Avenue
Theater was at the corner of Twenty
eighth street and had a seating capacity
of 1900.
Years later on April 80, 1886, Booth
again revived the classic tragedy. This
was at the Academy of Music, and
Tomasso Salvlni played the Ghost. The
italian actors selection of the part of
the Ghost was a disappointment to
Booth, who considered King Cldndt,ts a
better role and thought that Salvini did
himself an injustice by not playing it.
Another notable performance of HdmIet
by Booth was in 1889, when he played
at the Broadway Theater. with Nine
Modjeska as Ophelid and Otis Skinner as
LdeTteS.
Salvini himself portrayed Hamlet and
apropros of his Interpretation William
Winter wrote famous bit of criticism
which Is worth repeating. He said Of
Salvini's work:
His most conspicuous defect was
animalism--an attribute that made his
performance of Hamlet desecration.

He sees so widely and understands so
dubiously the nature of things in the
universe that his sense Of moral -espon-

both legs and several fingers by anpu-
tation. He was In a very serious condi-
ton when admitted TO st. Marks Hos

a single treatment each week until re-
naming symptoms of gangrene have
been destroyed.
DR.. Jablons started experimenting with
the new serum while he was attached to
the laboratories of the American Ex-
pedtionary Forces in France. and com
pleted his research work about eighteen
months ago. Since the introduction OF
the serum he has treated successfully
about sixty cases OF the less advanced
