RICHARD IIL | Popular Conception of Richard IIL Richard 11T was the bogey of Elizabeth- an tradition and history. A free, united and loyal people looked back with loath- ing to the times when feudailsm was dying in a horror of civil strife. The sa age cruelty and base treachery that were | distinguishing characteristics of the wars of the Roses seemed to reach their climax in the person of the last of the Plantag- encts, and no other actor in those wars was so fitted to recefve the full welght of the people's detestation. Richard of York. his father, had been throughout his life the idol of a great part of the nation; | Edward IV, his brother, was applauded | for his beauty, liberality and prowess in the fleld, and—what is even more to the point—he was the ancestor of the reigning | sovereign, Elizabeth; Henry VT, pitled for his gentlene plety and miserable en was locked upon as a martyr; even Mar- garet of Anjou, hated as a foreigner, won a reluctant admiration from the hearts of the people by her herofc struggle for the cause of her husband and her so Richard III became, as it were, the scape- | goat to bear a in the wilderness the sins of his whole generation. This conception of Richard was not only due to popular tradition, it was delib- IN SHAKESPEARE. Dowden, Dr. William J. Rolfe, Dr. Hamiiton srson, Dr. ‘Isaac N. D mon, Dr. Vida D: which we have been made famtliar by ShaKespeare. ven were it otherwise, Shakespeare ‘would be justified in his work. The prov- ince of the poet is not that of the critical historian he ere poet deals with ideas current in his day, and when his materfal is the popular conception of a historic figure it is his part not to run counter to that com tion, but to ex- lain it. to infuse it with poetle life, to umanize ft. This Shakespeare has done in the play of “Richard 111" He dweils upon and exaggerates the personal deformity of Richard as cutting him off from natural affection. He points out Richard's pride of intellect which finds the same satis- | faction in a well-played ptroke of hypoc- risy as the artist does In a perfected ma: terpiece. He develops touch by touch the “demoniac energy of will" that drives ng into action. The crafty, 1l E engine of destruction. So long as the enemies of his race kept the fleld he was the sword of the house of York; when piping tmes of peace succeedéd the sword, like some enchanted weapon o northern legend, turned against its mas- ter. And yet Shakespeare's Richard is no monster, awful and incredible after the pattern of Marlowe. He is intensely hu- man. Cynical, treacherous and bloody, he s still & man. and we can understand the tive that drives him on; unchecked by to the sweet fruition of And when all is over, THE OLD RED HORSE HOTEL, STRATFORD ON AVON. erately fostered by the Tudor chronielers. | Beginning with Polydore Vergil, the his- torlographer of Richard’s conqueror, and Thomas More, the disciple of Bishop Mor- ton, Richard’s most dangerous enemy, the tale of the usurper's crimes grew blacker and blacier, until in the popular histories of the th and seventeenth centurles it is the picture of a monster rather than | a man that confronts us. According to their reports, Richard's malignant dispos n showed itself on (!‘.': day of his birth. He came into the world with teeth and long hair down to n‘ZVA shoulders. He was “little of stature, ill- featured of limmes, crooke-backed, his left shoulder much higher than his rigl His face was small, but his countenance cruel and such that at the first aspect a man would judge it to savor and smell of malice, fraud and deceit. When he stood musing he would bite and chew busilie his nether lip * ° * beside that the dagger which he wore he would (when he | stuaied) with his hand piuck up and down in the sheath to the midst, never drawing it fully out.” And the story of Richard's life by these chroniclers T fil omens of his e eVl 5 Years of age he had & hand in Prince of Wales s later he sent murder of the the sava X o Two d at Tewkesbury. to the block the Lancastrian nobles :\‘!‘.“;;: lives the King had swotn to spare. in the montn he “slewe in th Kynge Henry the sixt aads the minute hist was doen without Kynge Edward Lis Was suspected of havin hastened the secret execution of b brother George, ‘false, fluting, perjured Clarence.” He selzed and beheaded, With- out form of trial, Rivers, Gray and Vaughn, the kinsmen and natural guar- dians. of tne young King.

Hypocrisy joined hands with treachery and murder 0 help him to the throne, and what he had sought for along such bloody paths he professed to accept only at the urgent {'wish of the people, protesting his entire | love and devotlon to his brother's chil- ent.”’ He dren. Of all crimes laid to Richard’'s charge none provokes more bitter indignation than the murder of the Princes in the tower. His other victims at least were men, enemies or rivals. The Princes were helpiess children and his own nephews. The details of their lakmi off were hid- den for years; men only knew that the | children were no more; and with unerring | instinct popular judgment pointed to | Richard as their murderer. When the truth came out in his successor’s reign the pent-up anger knew no bounds, and the pathetic story of the children’s death in the pages of More gives voice to the wrath and sorrow of a nation. But Richard was suspected of an even | blacker crime. After the death of his son, a child of whom Shakespeare knows noth- ing, he cast his eves upon his niece, Eliz- abeth, ‘the true heiress of the house of | | York. His persuasions drew this lady from her mother's keeping in sanctuary, | and at the same time he spread abroaa | a report of his wife's death. Hearing this rumor, she feared, so the chroniclers re- to die, and soon after, “either by pensive- | poison which is affirmed to be most likely) the | ueen departed out of this transitorie life.” So strong in fact did the suspicion grow that Richard had murdered his wife to marry his niece, that in order to re- | tain the fidelity even of his firmest parti- sans he was forced to deelare publicly und | with an oath that he had never enter- | tained the idea of this union. But Richard did not escape, said the chroniclers, the fit judgment for his sins, | Rebellions broke out in the land; the old supporters of York and Lancaster made | common cause against the usurper. Many | who fought under Richard’s banners | “hated him worse than a toad or a ser- | ., wishing and WD!Hn% his destruc- On the eve of the decisive battle he had ‘“‘a dreadful and terrible dream; for it seemed to him being asleepe that he did see diverse images like terrible divels which pulled and haled him, not ran through his army. In the tent'of the Duke of Norfolk was found a rhyme bidding him refrain from the battle. “Jacke of Norfolk. be mot too bold, For Dikon, thy master, is bought and sold In his address to his captains Richard showed the remorse that weighed upon him, confe!l(n% that in the obtalning of the ‘crown he had committed “a wicked | and detestable act, which, nevertheless, | trust to have expiated with strict pen- ance and salt tears.” Finally when the battle was joined Lord Bunl:x. on whose ad _counted, led 'his troops to Richmon de, and.

The production of Shakespeare's trag- edy was under the direction of Professor C. B. Newton and the success which crowned the efforts of the amateurs was gratifying to him. The performance went through without a break and the manner in which the play was staged would have been a credit to any of the professional managers now bef scenery in the five a rect in every detail. but was beautifully painted.
