Dimock, Mrs. Samuel Jordan Graham and Mrs. George C. Thorpe will act as hostesses at the third.of Dr. Louis K. Anspacher's lec- tures on Shakespeare at the Willard Hotel 11:15 Wednesday morning, when “Macbeth” will give Dr. Ans- pacher the opportunity to discuss the greatest and swiftest melodrama in all literature, and to point out how this play on a Scotch subject was conceived and written just at the time that a Scotch King ascended the British throne as James I. Dr. Anspacher ex- plains the play as a tragedy of ambi- tion, in which the hero, Macbeth, is portrayed as a character who acts too much and thinks too little—for in this aspect Macbeth is the exact opposite of Hamlet, who thinks too much and acts too little. And Dr. Anspacher will also point out how Macbeth, though so com- pletely representative of the spirit of Elizabethan drama, is molded on the plan of a classic Greek play of fate, As usual, following the lecture, sev- eral important luncheons will be given, and this week's hostesses will include Mrs. Clay Stone Briggs and Mrs. Harry C.
