OF all these, Dickens strikes Hugh
Walpole as the most prolific, because,
in addition to the other accomplish
ments of his contemporaries, he was a
fairiSh actor. He defends Dickens

into such questionable taste as the
issue of the Dickens Magazine, in
which he gave the reasons for divorc-
ing his Wife-on the ground that these
things made him more colorful than
hi fellows.

Understanding Needed.
Adapting Dickens to the screen
must be approached with understand
ing, Since Copperfeld has been in
circulation for almost 100 years and
has been read by every class of people
of every nation. care must be taken
in seeing that its adaptation is true
to the hook. Every one who has ever

characters in it.
