Nelither logle nor reason can plerce the vell that hides from man’s Inquisitive scrutiny the secret of existence, Falth alone can carry him behind the shadow, It matters not the source of his aspirations, hig longings for, or whether he deserves, immortality. His faith in a life after death s fixed and is renewed with each recur- ring Easter, Man's hope looks beyond this “narrow vale between the cold peaks of two oternities,” and in the rebirth of Nature each year he finds encouragement that keeps him strong In his bellef, This 1s the méssage of Haster, that if a man die he shall live agaln, Womian After the War, The soclal and economical status of woman in Burope after the war is coming in for some discugsion, and 18 of vital concern {n the United States, because conditions abroad will be di- roctly felt in this country, It Is agreed that woman has captured certain positions in indus- try from which she {s not likely to be dislodged. Thig s repeating the experience of America, where woman first gained a foothold in the activities of life outside the home beeause of belng forced to do man's work while he fought, A similar situation now prevalls in Burope. There woman hag already been given a greater opportunity to work side by side with man, but now she has entirely displaced him in many oceupations, and will certainly hold most of them for her own when the men come march- ing home to peace, ' Along with this as affecting wages and cther factors in the problem of production mwust be coflnldaud the employment of those men whose physical ability has been impaired but not entirely destroyed by injury incident to the war. A vast number of cripples will be presently injected into industrial life; their pay will be based on their productive capacity, effected In some degree by their pension. The fnevitable effect of this will be to lessen the opportunity for industrial employment of the sound who survive, One other phase of the problem, simple enough in its general terms, but tremendously complex In its inclusiveness! 48 the lowered purchasing power of money that will come along with other changes due to the readjustment, All this does not necessarily mean an era of low wages, as suggested by some German writers, but it does mean a rearrangement so general that no branch of industry or commerce | will escape its influence. Americans will find | hereln more than ever cause for the protec tien of home markets and home labor against Europe.

HE TERCENTENARY of Shakespeare's which today challenges the attention of flized world, calls chiely for emphasis on the ime mortality of the great poet's works, more especially his plays. What other dramatist has produced a comedy or a tragedy that can be “revived’ centuries aftor Iits first night and continue to draw houses? Perhaps a few—but none who has produced three or four such plays, much less the score and more which Bhakespeare gave us, What other writer has pros duced plays which we go to see time and again merely to find out how the different artists of celebrity read different lghts and shadows Into their Interpretation of the lines and portray different conceptions of the [l parts? Why is it that every great actor, aspir- Ing to more than momentary fame, insists on trying out his talents in one or another of the standard Bhakespeare characters? The very questions earry with them thelr own answers. To anyons who has read Bhakespears and seen the plays acted, the tercentenary s naturally a re- minder of the noted actors and actresses who have esnayed the roles and of the contrasts beiween them, I have, I belleve, seen most of the great Ehakes- pearean actors who have appeared In this country in my day going back as far as McCullough, although my lmpression 18 that when 1 saw him in my boy- hood, 1t was In "Virginius” and not In & Shakes- peare cast. 1 saw Booth, however, several times, as Humlet, as Mucbeth and as Hrutus, 1 remsmber soeing the great three-star combination of Booth, Har. rott and Modjeska in “Jullus Cacsar” in the old Holl day Street theater in Baltimore while T wns a stus dont at Johns Hopkine, The call for “supers” to fill in “the mob” had been answered by the university studonts, who saw an alluring chance to take In the show costumed as Roman citizens and oarn 00 cents into the burgaln, To my great dlsappointment | wus barred becuuse I was too small to fit the ste clothes and 1 had to dig up 60 cents of my own money for gdmission to the top gallery, where I, with others, colld look down on our fellow students and interchange slgns and counter signs of recognition, I happened also to attend a performance of ‘“Mac- both’” at the Broadway theater in New York n yeur or two later, for which Booth and Barrett were cast, but Barrott had been taken with his last lliness and oven as the play was proceeding, word was brought that he was dying, and the gloom of this tragedy could almost be seen am it spread over his fellow tragodiang behind the footlights. I have an impression that “Hamlet” was the first Shokespeare play 1 ever witnessed and that it was put on by the then widely advertised “actor- preacher,” Rev, George C, Milne. Either that, or it wis “Richard IIL" staged by Thomas W, Keans. At all events, I have seen quite a succession both of Hamlets and of King Richards, The list of “melancholy Danes” includes besides Milne and Hooth, Henry Irving, Alexander Salvini, Walker Whiteside, HBothern, and others down to Forbes-Rohertson's last production of it here, and among the diabolieal king- murderers, Keane, Whiteside, Warde and Richara Mansfleld, A rare and most interesting experienco en- Joyed by special favor was the privilege once of watching & dress rehearsal of “King Richard 111" by Mansfield and his company in the fall of 1896 when they opened their season here. Mansfleld, himself, In street costume, drilled his mssociates in full regalin through their parts on the stage of the Crelghton theater, now the Orpheum, to & house of empty seats (except ours), and showed what kind of a taskmaster was required to make the finlshed production of a Mansfield company. Another play witnessed the next dny wos that of ““The Merchant of Venlce,” rehearsed in the same way. I saw the elder Salvini in “Othello,” as mentioned before in this column, and I also saw Barrett play the “Moor” to Booth's “lago.” Of the leas frequently played dramas, we have had Warde In “King Lear,” Warde and James in “Henry IV, Manasfleld in “‘Henry V" Modjeska in “Henry VIIL" Measure for Measure” has also been once or twice on the boards here. Of Shakespeare's comedies there arg many that are never wearying, no matter how often seen. In the part of the rollicking Rosalind of ““As You Like It,” it hag been my pleasure to compare Modjeska, Ada Rehan, Marlowe, and the same also as Viola In “Twelfth Night,"” as well as Marle Walnright. Daly's company in New York used to have at least one Shakespeare rovival each season, among them which I have attended besides those mentioned, “‘Love's Labor Lost,” “Much Ado About Nothing,” “Taming of the Shrew" and “Midsummer Night's Dream." That reminds me of the most novel experience of this sort which I recall, being a rendition of “Mid. summer Night's Dream” In Bohemlan at the Bo- hemian National theater in Prague. I could unders stand scarcely & word of the language, but knowing the play had no difficulty in following it. It was, moreover, magnificently staged and accompanied by a gorgeous ballet. Let me not forget to mention In passing, the fine and dramatio presentation of the “Comedy of Errors,” with Robson and Crane as the twin Dromios, whom 1 could seldom tell apart till téey appearcd both together in the last act. acenic As to this Ehakespeare puszle which has made such & hit, let me say that It 1s adapted from a similar King's Move puszle that once appeared in a popular children's magasine, “St. Nicholas,” tn which I hap- pened to stumble upon It.
