Edmund Ford (By Herald Keviewer) : Any doubt that Shakespeare still on the stage, as well as b tiween covers of a book, were dis- pélled at Parsons' theater, last eve- ning, when FritzeLeiber, an alumnus of the Mantell school, produced the first of hiS repertoire before an audi- ence which warmed to his work and enjoyed his impersonation of Ham- let, the pallid and ill-starred prince Denmark. The popularity of Shakespeare's works is generally be- lieved to have waned with the pass- ing of the theatrical school which produced known masters of inter- pretation. Occgsionally there have DLeen revivals, the latest vogue be- ing to produce the Bard's comedies and dramas in modern clothes and modern settings. But Shakespearc | will not die so long as a newer gen- eration of stars in the making with as much promise as Leiber con- Hnues to devote its attention to what is recognized as the finest in drama. Fresh from a seven weeks' en- gagement at Cleveland during which the residents of that city paid trib- ute to his prowess, Leiber captivat- ed his Parsons’ audlence with a splendid portrayal of the lugubrious son.of Denmark's murdered King. Thoroughly at home in his role, he swayed the gathering at will. Louls Leon Hall played well ‘as the fratricidal Claudins. John Burke was exceptionally interesting as the voluble Polonius. Virginia Bronson was a fascinating Ophelia, particu- larly impressive during her moments of madness after the death or her father Polonius. The lone touch of comedy was provided by Robert Mintz as the |grave diggers. Olga Lee as Ger- trude, queen of Denmark; Krancis Dears as Horatio, and Gerrit Kraber as Laertes played their parts ac- coptably. Lelber's repertoire for the rest of the week follows: Tonight, “Mac- beth”; Saturday matince, “Mer- chant of Venice”; Saturday night, “Julius Caesar. London Newspaper in Comment on U. S, Navy ing on the house naval committee's cutting the United States mnaval building program, the Daily News {today attributed this gut to the withholding. of popular @pproval | for the navy department’s proposals. ‘Alcnhlng the recent reduction of |the British' cruiser program to the influence of public opinion also, the paper argues this opposition-of both peoples to their respective govern- ments is “happy augury for the so- lution of the problem which emerged lat Geneva when the time comes for its resumption.” Conservatives Retain Seat at the By-Election Tiford, England, Feb. 24 (#)—The conservatives have retained their scat at the by-election here neces but with a reduced majority.
