WILLIS HERE

And 1t came to pass that towards
the end of the year 1922 A. ID. there
was heard sound Of many feet
along Broadway, scurrying in the
direction of that newest of new
things StratfOrd on Avon. At
present it looks as if most of the
forthcoming plays that are not by
A. A. Milne will be by William
Shakespeare.
Fer the vogue that is obviously
to descend upon this promising
young member of the Mermaid
Tavern crowd the credit should be
split several ways. First in order
is the law of imitation, which Oper-
ates more strongly in the theater
than in any other of the mimetic
arts. In the theater the producers
initiate each ether. A single swal-
low does not make Il summer, but
a single Knockout does make a sea-
son in the theater. whether it is a
crook drama season or a bedroom
season or mystery season or a
Shakespeare season. Credit, there
fore, should go in large measure
to Arthur Hopkins for his "Mac-
beta" and his Hamlet and to
Mr.. Belasco for his Merchant of
Venice" After that it was bound
to be the deluge.
Like every French soldier who
carries marshal''s baton on his
knapsack, every young actor car
ries Hamlet in his suitcase. But
marshals' batons, come only ut the
end Of the career, and so hitherto
Iiamlets have come. Young Mr..
Barrymore and his manager have
destroyed that tradition. Youth
is now no bar to playing Sheakes-
peare or at least no bar to making
a brave try of it.
l.. is pleasant to see so many OF
the young generation on Broadway
spurred on by young Barrymore's
example to the same brave en-
dcavor Perhaps it will turn. out
that the sophomores can teach us
something about Shakespeare
which the post-gradudtes, who
have hitherto monopolized him,
have failed to reveal. And even il
they teach us nothing, one mag
ines that they will have brought
Shakespeare nearer to the public
by hauling him down from the ped
estal and pitching him into the
arena.
If the raid upon Will Shakes
peare spreads to the silver screen
and we get our Mary for Juliet
and our Doug for Romeo it should
be all to the good. How Mary
could wheedle her old nurse, and
how Doug could climb that bal

ADVENTUREOF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

Little Jackie Jumping Mouse was
snoring. He still had on the little
red jacket the Brownies had given
him and over him were the warm
covers that Nancy and Nick had
tucked around him when they went
with Dusty Coat, the dwarf sandman,
to make Jackie comfortable for the
winter.
His house was away under the
ground in a nice warm place where
Jackie Frost couldn't reach him.
Jackie Mouse snored again and
turned over. He was dreaming. He
was dreaming that he was kangaroo
in circus and he was very happy.
Suddenly a little trap door under
his bed sprang open and the little
mouse fell through it like a ripe
plum-or more like ball of yarn
out of sewing basket, his tail
trailing after him like long
rayeling.
He whizzed around and around, all
the TIME sliding downward through
place like coal chute, and after
while he landed on something hard.
But he wasn't hurt bit and sprang
up like bed spring.
Then he saw where he was. In
the middle of a big circus tent lust
as he had dreamed with hundreds of
people sitting in long rows staring
at him..
"Oh. horrorI,' thought Jackie.
They'll be setting the cat on me
now I'll have to run"
| But Just then a man in blue
velvet suit came up and held out mis-
hand. "How>, do you do, Mr.. Kan
garoo," he said. eve are glad you
have come and hope you have had a
pleasant journey. Here are the box
ing gloves, and here is the pers on
you are to fight"
| Jackie looked down at himself in
amazement. Lo, and behold, he had
grown enormously. He was indeed
a kangaroo. Then he looked at his
enemy and behold it was Ceaser, the
Cat. blinking his eyes fearfully.
Ready. Begin" said the man and
Jackie gave Ceaser a bang on the
nose that sent him spraying.
Score one for Dreamland," said
the, man and everybody clapped.
7 Jackie was happier than ever he
had been in his life.
He gave Ceaser a good walloping
just as he had always wished to do.
"Dreamland is a fine place."
thought he.
