 (By Herald Reviewer)
 Any doubt that Shakespeare still survives on the stage. as we'll as be- tween covers of book. were dis pelled at Parsons theater. last eve ming, when Fritz Leiber. an alumnus of the Mantell school. produced the first of his repertoire before an audi ence which warmed to his work and enjoyed his impersonation of Ham, let, the pallid and ill-starred prince of Denmark. The popularity Of Shakespeare's works is generally be- lieved to have waned with the pass ing of the theatrical school which 1r~ nf iOtpr- pretation. Occasionally there have been revivals, the latest vogue be- ing to produce the Bard's comedies and dramas in modern clothes and modern settings. But Shakespeare will not die so long as a. newer gen eration of stars in the making with as much promise as Leiber con Hnues 10 devote it's attention to what is recognized as the finest in drama.
 Fresh from a seven weeks en- gagement at Cleveland during which the residents of that city paid trib- ute to his prowess, Leiber captivat- ed his Parsons audience with a splendid portrayal of the lugubrious son. of Denmarks murdered king. Thoroughly at home in his role. he swayed the gathering at will.
 Louis Leon Hall played we'll as the fratricidaI Claudius. John Burke was exceptionally interesting as the voluble Polonius. Virginia Bronson was a fascinating Ophelia, particu- larly impressive during her moments of madness after the death or her father Polonius. The lone touch of comedy was provided by Robert Straus and Claude Mintz as the grave diggers. Olga Lee as Ger trude, queen of Denmark; Francis Dears as Horatio, and Gerrit kraber as Laertes played their parts ac- ceptably.
 Leiber's repertoire for the rest of the week follows: Tonight, Mac beth; Saturday matinee, "Mer- chant of Venice; Saturday night, Julius Caesar"

SAYS BY l934 ALL
 WOMEN WILL VOTE
Sylvia Pankhurst, Noted SuTra. eSt, in Illuminating Interview
Copyright, 1928. by United Press)

(Copyrlght, 1928. by United Press)
 London. Feb. :t OUP)-women | will have the vote throughout vir- tually the entire world by 1884. Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, veteran militia mt suffragist, predicted in an interview with the United Press today. Women even of semi-civilized countries by that time would have won their fight for equality, Miss Pankhurst said.
 Even the countries that 20 years ago laughed at the thought of wom- en in business or politics-in fact at the thought of women anywhere but in the home, now are accepting women as part of the full life of the country" Miss Pankhurst said.
 So far as the women of England are concerned at the present time, the most important thing is the se- curing of the vote for women at 21, thereby placing them on a basis of equality to men.
 Naturally. to us who fought be- fore the war and won the success of partial equality. this new victory will be somewhat of an anticlimax. ] say victory for it is ineyita ble that it will come, especially as the gov ernment itself is determined to pass the equality bill this year.
 'I do not like to think of women welcoming the franchise. either here or in any other country. as simply the securing of a voice in govern ment through the vote.
 My principal interest is in having women broaden their horizon, look ing beyond votes or office to better things for them that equality always brings.
 Brings Emancipation
 Equality inevitably brings the emancipation of womanhood. not only in a political sense but in il social sense.
 "Women throughout the world must realize. however. that their work is by no means done when they have secured equality. During the fight for equality. women's or ganizations have done great work in broadening the outlook of woman- hood. but they must not slumber when they have secured mere votes their work has only begun there.
 Tt is upon them that the burden of the worlds social work is now falling. This burden will increase in the future. but the worlds woman hood is prepared to meet it."
 It had been a number of years since the United Press correspondent had seen Miss Pankhurst. The inter- view occurred at her modest house in quiet Buckhurst Hill, outside Of London.
 Miss Pankhurst's study is at the back of the house, with French win dows overlooking a typical English garden. The study was lined with well-arranged books. neat files of letters and papers. A large table held typewriter which in turn held a partly completed page of Miss

 Is 46 Years Old
 Miss Pankhurst entered the study in her street clothes-neat smart hat. fur-collared coat. and brown stockings and shoes. with drops of water from the rain outside dripping from the wisps of her blonde hair that crept from beneath the brim of her hat. She is 46. She looked hardly more than 30. It was difficult to realize that she had been in prison many times during the mili- tant sufragette days. or that she had travelled all over the world during life filled with gruelling demands in the cause for which she had fought and won.
 The old fire was still in her eyes. The voice that had swayed thou sands had not lost its charm and its power to deal quietly. but forcibly, with every situation.
 She is the same Sylvia Pankhurst.
