MRS. BEECHER READS TO CHARMED AUDIENCE
Scenes From Plays and Drama
 "Will Shakespeare" Applauded

No single event of the dramtic sea- son of Birmingham could have rivaled, in interest or in art, the pres entation of Will Shak kespeare" and other selections from the plays of the Bard of Avon. presented Tues day afternoon at the Jefferson and sponsored by the Alabama Art league.
 Modern interest centered in the first reading by Mrs. Leonard Beecher of Birmingham by birth, and of the whole world by gifts and recogni- tlon. the reading being a present day authors conception of the life of Shakespeare as seen by his own gen eratfon. The first appearance of this roman : conception of Shakespeare life produced widespread criticism both because of the authors presen- tation and from the belief that the character and achievements of Shakespeare had become so much a part of the literary inheritance of the ages that it was almost sacrilege to depict him as an ordinary mortal. The blank verse was rendered by Mrs. Beecher with the greatest art and appreciation of the demands of this most difficult of all verse to read.
 Her reading of the soliloauy from Hamlet" a task to tax the high. est effort of any exponent of the drama. was a masterpiece, and her audience was held spellbound throughout this number of the pro- gram. The balcony scene from Ro meo and Juliet was not only pleas ing, but was rendered with that delicate touch of pathos hinting at tragedy, of which the whole play is suggestive. Her reading from Much Ado About Nothing and the mono logue. which concluded the program, brought the artist plenty of appreci- ative applause. and she was forced to respond to numerous calls for en- cores. Miss Lenora Lewis. at the piano, played her numbers with grace and skill.
 Despite the indictment sweather Tuesday afternoon a large audience greeted the artist, and agreed with Charles L. Wagner. one of America s greatest theatrical managers, who said: Had Mrs. Beecher been an actress instead of reader, she would have been the Bernhardt of America"
