CHICAGO, March 26.-Ci-

Chicago, where AL Capone has
his stronghold, for years has
been pictured as one of the
blacklist spots on the map Of

Chicago's gangs, battle-ground
of beer and "alky" runners. 1t
bears the scars of machine gun
warfare.
But it is the safest town in
the State, mortality statistics
of the Safe health department

Herrin, center of the southern

Shakeepcare's Plays To Don Modern Dress


 Macbeth Is to be modernized by Sir Barry Jackson. just as Hamlet was.
 Sir Barry is also preparing to put Tanning of the shrew" into modern garb.
 Old-time dramatic critics are ex- cited. So are old-time costumers, who have thrived on generations on equipping Shakesperean productions with gloomy trappings of the sort the Immortal Bard's players are supposed to have worn at the Old Globe Theater.
 Half the dramatic criticism Of conventional shakesperean produc- ton has been confined to comment on whether the wardrobe and the scenery were in keeping with the traditions of Keene.
 1T hope in time we shall Dc able to get audiences to understand Shakespeare so thoroughly that they will take the plays dressed in any sort of costume. Then we shall be able to talk about the plays. rather than the way we are producing them," said Sir Barry.
