FOR MANY COMMON ILLS =.ENO | Cellini, | Fruit, Professor Ridicules Modern Interpreters Of Shakespeare Leslie Hotson Speaks At Folger Library on Anniversary Celebration By JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. Interpreters who would apply the tests of modern times to Willlam Shakespeare and his works were ridiculed by Prof. Leslie Hotson of Haverford College in an address to a capacity audience at the little theater of the Folger Library last | night, The occasion was the celebration of the 376th anniversary of the poet’s birth and the 324th anni- versary of his death. Prof. Hotson was particularly sharp in his criticism of psycho- analysts who have endeavored ‘o “explain” Shakespeare according to the theories of the late Dr. Sig- mund Freud. “Rash heads,” he de- clared, “have distorted his mean- ings.” The speaker also held up to .| scorn the practice of “praising in Shakespeare only those qualities which we admire in ourselves.” In- | sisting that “there are many differ- | ences between Elizabethan points of view and our own,” he cited the skill with which Shakespeare and his contemporary authors “mar=- ried lyric poetry and music—an art lost to us.” | “Intelligent saturation in the work | of Shakespeare is not enough,” Prot. | Hotson told his hearers. “A good Elizabethan play is one which was | | a good Elizabethan play in Eliza- ‘belhan times. Only by long ap- | prenticeship to the Renaissance can | Shakespeare be accurately under- stood. Dramatic poetry is not merely a Shakespearean power. It | likewise is an Elizabethan power. | To know Shakespeare we must know him all, and not isolated from his age and its people. It is dan- gerouse to try to separate Shakes- peare from his time and place. ‘Was Understood by His Audience. “Shakespeare wrote to be under- stood, and he was understood by all three classes of his audience. His ‘Hamlet’ pleased the nobility, the merchants, the groundlings. The | playwrights of his day were en- | couraged by their public to improve | their art, and they did improve it.” Prof. Hotson quoted a modern thedrist to the effect that Shake- speare’s “auditors” brought scratch pads and pencils to the theater to copy down the phrases beyond their comprehension for further study. The speed of presentation of his dramas contradicted such a notion, he suggested. Whatever difficulty there may be about believing that Shakespeare’s audience could fol- low his text as it was recited by his | actors may be disposed of by con- | ceding that “the Elizabethans were more intelligent than we are. It is | horrible, perhaps, but it is true. They had more words and more wits than we have. Humility is a novelty for us, but a touch of it will do no harm. Elizabethan life was more vast in ‘experience than jours. We could have understood Shakespeare well enough if we were living when he was.” Simplest Facts Mangled. To illustrate how latter-day in- terpreters have “mangled” the sim- plest facts of the poet's life, Prof. Hotson referred to the explanations | offered by half a dozen biographers for the occupation of Shakespeare’s landlord in London in the years between 1602 and 1612. This man was “a tiremaker,” a phase which has been made to signify “wig- maker.” Actually he was an artist- craftsman working in gold, silver | and precious stones—a creator of | ornaments worn in their hair by ladies of the court and other women | of wealth and distinction. His pa- | trons included Queen Anne, wife of King James I. “While Shakespeare was writing Otheilo, his great Venetian tragedy, upstairs, Christo- | pher Mountjoy was making Venetian cloth of gold and tissue of pure gold downstairs. He was a kind of never a manufacturer of perwigs and perukes. Earlier in the day Dr. James G. | McManaway, executive assistant to Dr. Joseph Quincy Adams, director of the Folger Library, and Henry D. president of the National Shakespeare Federation, partici- pated in a Shakespeare birthday program broadcast from Station WRC. Widows of Any Age Entitled | To Benefits for Children Widows of any age, with depend- ent children under 18, are entitled | to monthly benefits under the Social Security Act if the husband was survivors insurance program, Victor Sadd, manager of the field office of | the Social Security Board, pointed |out in & statement today. | Mr. Sadd said the statement was prompted by misunderstanding by the public as to the rights of bene- ficiaries, inquiries at his office show- ing many persons thought the mini- mum age for collecting benefits was 65. “The age-65 requirement applies to some types of claims, but not to | those of widows with dependent | children,” he explained. “Should a worker die, leaving a widow with young, dependent children, the | widow’s age is immaterial. She and | the children would be eligible for payments if her husband had earned | wages of at least $50 in each of six | calendar quarters during the three years before his death. “The amsunt a widow and her children receive will depend on the worker’s average monthly wage.” Nazi Rivals Fight Duel BUDAPEST, April 24 (#).—Kal- man Ratz and Lajos "Sgechenyi, leaders of rival Nazi factions in Hungary, fought a duel with sabers yesterday.

EVENING : Child Health Day To Stress Care For Mothers and Infants Observance to Emphasize White House Conference Recommendations The health recommendations of the White House Conference an Children in a Democracy, adopted by the conference at its meeting here on January 19, will receive spe- cial stress in this year’s observance of Child Health Day, May 1, it was announced today. In outlining the objectives for the coming decade, the White House conference called for a further reduction in maternal mortality, in deaths of infants, and & more adequate provision of doctors and nurses, particularly in rural | areas. In 1928, Congress directed the President to issue each year a proc- lamation setting apart May 1 as Child Health Day. In his 1940 proclamation, issued April 3, Presi- dent Roosevelt called on the Ameri~ can people to consider the recome { mendations of the White House Con= ference on Children in a Democracy, “and to take steps needed ‘to strengthen and extend health pro- tection, and medical care for mothers and children in every community.” The President also asked American boys and girls to note “the gains in health they have made during the past year, and to share in efforts to improve the health of children, and | of our whole population.” ; | States to Observe Day. The Governors of many States also | | have issued Child Health Day proc- | lamations. The Children’s Bureau of the Labor Department has dis- tributed folders and posters to State and local health agencies to assist { them in proper observance of the day. Statistics for 1938, recently issued STAR, "WASHINGTO! by the Census Bureau, show the lowest maternal and infant mor- tality rates on record for the United States. The national mortality rate for 1938, according to the Census Bu- reau figures, was 43.5 per 10,000 live births, and the infant mortality rate was 51 per 1,000. “The maternal mortality rate for 1938 was 11 per cent lower than that for 1937, 23 per cent lower than that of 1936 and 25 per cent lower than that of 1934, the year prior to the passage of the Social Security Act by Congress,” Elizabeth C. Tandy of the Children’s Bureau points out in the Child, an official bureau publication. “The infant mortality rate for 1938 was 6 per cent lower than that of 1937, 11 per cent lower than that of 1936 and 15 per cent lower than that of 1 1934. These remarkable reductions have been attained in a period in which every State, in co- operation with the Federal Govern- ment, has been actively working for improvement in maternal and child health conditions.” Death Rate Drops Here. In the District of Columbia and in 40 States, the maternal mortality rates were lower in 1938 than in 1937. For 1938 the District rate was 56, as compared with 58 in 1937 and 69 in 1936. In the District the infant mor- tality rate was also lower in 1938 than in 1937. The District rate in 1938 was 48 per 1,000 live births, for LATEST NEWS The Night Final Star, containing the latest news of the day during these dramatic times, is de- livered every evening throughout the city and suburbs between 6 P.M. and 7 P.M.
