FLIZABETHAN ERA IN AMERICA SEEN Provost W. A. Wilbur Says We Appreciate Shakespeare More Than Other Nations. Americans appreciate Shakespeare to & greater degree than do any other people of the world. More is being done in his behalf in the United States than in any other country. Such, in any event, is the opinion of Provost W. A. Wilbur of George ‘Washington University, who last eve- ning opened the annual program of lec- tures and recitals- of the Shakespecare Society of Washington. An audience which crowded the auditorium of the Corcoran Gallery heard him speak on Shakespeare and English history. “Shakespeare,” Dr. Wilbur said, “‘gives us in his art the story of the develop- ment of a national consciousness in the mind of the English people. His 25 years in London were the years when that city was ceasing to be medieval and was becoming modern. We have seen similar changes in our thinking in the twentieth century. “It is easy for Americans to be close to Shakespeare. We ure more Eliza- bethan than the English.” Dr. Wilbur explained that practically all of Shakespeare’s historical dramas were produced during the first half of his literary career. 'The span of his chronicles was, roughly, the twelfth to sixteenth centuries. Each of the his- torical plays illustrates a trait of char- acter in & monarch or mighty noble. Henry V was the ideal King, Richard | I an impractical ruler.
