ADJUSTMENTS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS"

The character of the melancholy
Hamlet seldom has been interpreted
with truer insight than by George Hayes
OF the Stratford-upon-Avon Festival
Co., at the National Theater last night
In Hayes presentation we see the man
whom, 1t may be presumed. in the light
. of present-day personality analysis,
Shakespeare intended to picture-the
contemplative idealist wandering con-
fusedly in the dim borderland of mad
ness, where there is the continuous in
teraction of reality and unreality. Few
characters offer such difficulties to the
actor.
The world of Hamlet was a world Of
almost intangible nuances, the success
full reproduction of which, in the mind
OF the audience, is an artistic triumph.
Mr.. Hayes Interpretation was all any
pSychiatrist, of whom Shakespeare was
an early and not uncredited representa-
tive, could ask. He gives us the Ham,
let figure of hospital case studies rather
than that of the traditional stage. And
in this presentation the Prince of Dem
mark becomes a character of very great
reality and applicability in the modern
world, with his constantly recurring
doubts Of himself, Of his surroundings,
of the reality of good and evil and Of
life itself.
This, we cannot but believe, was the
man created in the mind of Shake
speare-the sort of character that
would be encountered often enough in
the Elizabethan environment, and is a
frequent product of the shifting COLI
fusions of the present. At the same
time it is a character which could
hardly have been understood 20 years
ago, which is an adequate explanation
of some of the grotesquely uncOnvinc-
ing Hamlets of the past. A personality
is the product of its total environment
and hardly can be understood out OF
that environment. Now, in the after
math of the war and the moral in
stability of the age, the world Is pro-
ducing Hamlets steadily once more.
This, then, is the great accomplish
ment of the actor-that he has recog-
nized the type in the present-day world
and thus is enabled to present a char
acter of intense reality.
The work of Mr.. Hayes easily was the
outstanding element of the drama, as it

What he will prove by such speed
Don was at a loss to explain in con-
ference with newspaper men at A. A. A.
headquarters this morning.
The big Briton, who will trust MS
life to the special machine built in Eng

morning and until after midnight last
night inspecting the Capital, "like a
man who has just eaten a big dinner.
I'm having a hard time digesting it
all 1t is a great country you have
here. 1t is hard to believe 1t could
exist"
OF his speed attempt he admits that
there is a whole lot he doesn't know.
He has never driven the 24-cylinder
Sunbeam racing car in which he will
attempt to break the mile speed record,
AS a matter Of fact, 1t has not been
tested in an actual run, for there was
no place In England where it could
be tested. What the machine will dc

Daytona Beach he hesitates to say
other than reiterate his confidence that
the machine will shatter the existing
speed record.
The goal of Don is 240 miles an hour,
for one mile. Anything over that he
will be thankful for. It is a scant nine
miles an hour better than Mai. Segrave's

Don said today:

ultimate proof or conclusion to be
drawn from this sort of thing. It is
a test for the various features of an

It Is the tires that are the governor, I"
so to speak, on Don's juggernaut Of
speed. It has long been recognized by
racing drivers that the machine is only
as fast as the maximum speed its tires
will stand. Don has high confidence
that his tires, made mostly Of fine cot

KARoLIK's BENEFIT RECITAL.

KAROEIK'S BENEFIT RECITAL.
Maxim Karolik, Russian tenor, and
Henri Sokolov, violinist, gave joint
recital last night at the residence of
Mrs. Henry F. Dinock. The program
included for the most part some Of the
shorter songs of Russian composers and
an almost equal number OF Kreisler
selections for the violin. The result was
4 happy one. Mr.. Karolik was in good
voice and Mr. Sokolov displayed a full
tone that did complete justice to his
themes.
The dramatic expression that Mr..
Karolik chooses to interpret into his
vocalizing Is perhaps at its best In such
short, almost ethereal pieces as Rach-
maninoff's "Lilacs," or the more
vigorous and familiar Les Papflon" Of
Chausson. Last night he treated them
both with color and command. In the
more cultural passages, which seem to
be part and parcel of so many Russian
compositions, he varied his tonal en-
phasis with surprising agility, striking
the low notes with brusque, almost
harsh residence, and then with I'M
expected suddenness ranging into the
high. lyric quality of what seems to be
another voice. He was unwilling,
probably due to the size of the room,
to extend his voice to the limit, with
now classic "Volga Boatman," which, in
its most stirring moments. is apt to
reach the climax of a tenor's power,
fell rather short of perfection. In some
of his encores, however, he was more
than generous with his tone, especially
IN his rendition Of Love Is in My
Heart" which pleased the audience
greatly.
Mr.. Sokolov's playing is admirably
suited to the whimsicalities of Kreislers
compositions. Last night he demonstrate
ed that even in the most exacting
cadenzas, without which the composer
seldom Is to be found, he is completely
ct his ease. Especially in the ripe and
ever pleasant "Siciliano- Rigaudon" were
the evidences Of his technical ability
and smooth, singing tone to be found.
Robert Gotta, who accompanied both
the artists, was excellent IN every way.

A bump on the beach that would jar

necessarily mean disaster to either car
or driver.
