COUNTERFET PLA T0 AD SCHOLAR Facsimiles of Rare Editions|ina From Shakespear to Be Published. By the Associated Press. * O, Calif., June 15.—A here for r and scholarly e ment. It is the laboratory Henry E. Huntington Library and Art G‘!ltur{nrut. and second in a proposed 's long series of countetfeits, made its appearance recently—A facsimile repro- duction of “The Tragicall Historie of Hamlet Prince of Denmarke,” from the rare quarto of 1603. The original little thin quarto of 66 r‘u is worth mors than many entire ibraries, for there are but two known coples extant. One is in the British Museum, the other among 165 volumes of Shakespeare, embracing every first edition of the plays, with the exception of “Titus Andronicus,” and 29 various coples of the four folios, a collection worth $2,500,000. Four three-foot shelves of the Hunt- ington Library houss this world's most valuable collection of Shakespeare. Facsimiles Planned. Max Farrand, curator of the museum and its director of research, in miaking known the existence of his counterfeit- ing plant, announced that the library plans to issue from time to ‘time for the benefit of students throughout the world. exact facsimiles of the Hunting- ton treasures.

For instance the original 1603 edition Differs in Soliloquy. “To be, - not to be, I there's the point, I To die, to sleepe, is that all? I all” Few will recognize that as Hamlet's soliloquy, for the better known 1604 re- vision from Shakespeare’s quill made it: “To be, or not to be, that is the ques- tion, “To sleep! Perchance to dream! Ay, there's the rub.” Some research. students believe the original edition was stolen and printed prematurely, without the author’s con- sent. One story is that a certain actor | in the company for which Shakespeare ‘wrote Hamlet memorized the play, im- perfectly in parts, and sold the author out. That may account why the 1604 edition was announced as the “true and perfect coppis WILLARD ADDRESSES GRADUATING CLASS B. & 0. President, Receiving De- gree, Tells Students Not to Be Discouraged.
