The third of the series of classic pro- ductions being given this week at the Columbia Theater by Louis James held the stage of the house last night to the gratification and pleasure of the audi- ence. Shakespeare's comedy, “The Merchant of Venice,” is a play in which the star roles are more than ordinarily numerous, and it is therefore not to be wondered at that last evening's presen= tation of the plece developed good re- sults, as all the roles were well played. The Shylock of Louis James is in a measure quite unlike that ever before hown by any of the leading players. In a way it is a revelation, for he has divorced all the time-beaten imprints of conventionality. His Shylock is an exalted person, who by circumstances has been adjudged guilty of an offense that to-day would be considered clever financlering. His Jew is not the black. hearted usurer of the Rialto, well known to tradition; but a humane man, loyal to his race, devoted to his daugh- ter, and, father-like, revengeful at the wrong done her, The entire production last night smacked of cleverness and good effect. Not alone was the star at his best, but those who surrounded him in the cast came forward with intelligent, forceful interpretations of the various roles. Norman Hackett furthered the good opinion already held here of him by his presentation of the role of Bassanio. The Launcelot Gobbo of Charles Sted- man Is a bit of work of the old school, not to be passed without special men- tion, for Stedman does not miss a point. Aphie James as Portia was remark- ably fine in the famous courtroom scene, and Is ably assisted in some of the best scenes by Terese Deagle in the role of Jessica. They play well to- gether. Arthur Young's Gratanio was another of the notably good bits of the performance. s “The Merchant of Ven‘ce" will be re- peated on Friday night. To-night and Saturday night “Richelieu” will be the bill. “Ingomar” is announced for the matinee on Saturday, and on Sunday night “Virginius” will ‘be the closing bill of the engagement.

He says that questions of lan- .guage are not the trifles they appear. and that people who write in the tone of the Chronicle paragraphist not oniy fly in the face of common gense, but do se- rious international mischief. The Chron- icle man objected to the terms “I con- cluded to. stay” and “lung trouble.” He says: “The Englishman who says ‘lung trouble’ or ‘concluce’ (for decide) does so for the express purpose of enriching the English language from the stores of America. We ask him not to take the task upon himself. If we must set our- selves to borrow, let it be from the other tongues, not from our own estranged.” Archer calls this criticism “linguistic snobbishness.” He defends “lung trouble” thus: “How often do we want to say there is something amiss with our phys- ical economy without being able, or will- ing, to give a definite name to the dis- ease? And In such an instance, how can we put the matter more briefly, or more in consonance with the genius and tradi- tion of the English language, than by speaking of lung trouble, heart trouble, or brain trouble, as the ease may be?" The other expression which was com- plained of he proves is not an American- ism, and does it in a most conclusive way, to wit: It is really time that people who want to turn up their noses at Americanisms should learn, in common prudence, to turn up their dictionaries first, How many hundreds of so- called American barbarisms have proved to be good, sound, classical English! Over ‘‘con- clude” the paragraphist puts his foot in it conspicuously. He may, perhaps, have heard of a play called “Julius Caesar,”” composed by a Midland Englishman, wholly untainted (for the best of- reasons) With Americanism, in which occurs the phrase: . . . the Senate have concluded To give this day & crown to mighty Caesar. And again the same writer in one of his poems, says, “They did conelude to bear dead Lucrece thence.’ Does the Chronicle demand better authority? Or will it tell us that Shakespeare was perversely bent on ‘“‘enrich- ing the English language from the stores of Americ The Chronicle man may con- ceivably seek a loophole for escape in pointing out that both the Shakespearean phrases refer to a decision arrived at by several persons— in other words, to the “conciusion” of some sort of debate—whereas the phrase he repro- bates refers to the determination of a single person. But is a mental debate a thing un- dreamt of in his psychology? . s s Many prcminent lung/ specialists will | contribute articles during 1906 to the Journal of the Outdoor Life, published at Trudeau, in the Adirondack Mountains. The Journal of the Outdoor Life aims to be helpful to all persons leading an out- door life for their health, and particular- Iy to be cf assistance to those who are suffering from or threatened with lung trouble. It advocates fresh air, nourish- ing food and carefully regulated exereise. Among muny noted physicians who have already contributed articles along these lines are Dr. William Osler, former pro- fessor of medicine at Johns Hopkins Uni- versity, Baltimore, and now regius pro- fessor of mecicine, Oxford University, | England; Dr. Vincent Y. Bowditch, visit- ing physician to the Massachusetts State Sanatorium, and Dr. Charles L. Minor, director in the National Assoclation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculo- sis. Besides the articles on the prevention and cure of consumption the Journal of the Outdoor Life will publish many arti- cles of interest to persons who are not threatened with fllness, but who take a deep interest in open-air pastimes.

A great reader, and especially devoted to the study of history, her' literary work naturally turns to historical subjects. In 189 her first novel, “On the Red Stair- case,” was published by a Chicago firm and was quoted as one of the most suc- cessful historical romances of that year. This was followed by several other novels and one volume of fairy tales, all of which met with unusual success. Her other novels are entitled A Yankee Vol- unteer,” “The House of the Wizard,” “The Cardinal’s Musketeer,” ‘“‘Cobbler of Nimes,”” “Anne Scarlett,” “‘Little Mistress Good Hope,” “The Rebellion of the Prin- cess” and “My Lady Clancarty.” A short story which appeared In January, 1904, from her pen is being dramatized for the Greely School of Elocution and Dramatic Art of Boston. An articie from her pen in this issue is entitled “The Pillow of Benita.”—The Four-Track News. g The “divine” Sarah Bernhardf is no longer the great! The marks of sixty vears begin to show themselves unmis- takably, not only in her face and form but also ip her acting. Her visit to New York brought out large audiences, comprising many old friends, who were anxious to welcome her. But she was not the same old Barah. The ring of the voice was not there, the fire of the eye was dim, and the rippling melody of the voice was gone. We Jdoubt if Bernhardt will ever add another to her numerous list of farewell tours in the United States. The friends who have been most eager to see her will scarce- ly care to see her more—Leslie's Weekly. . . Writing under the topic, “Sate Foods and How to Get Thém,” in the January Delineator, Mary Hinman Abel makes the assertion that glucose or corn su- gar, contrary to the general impres- sion, i1s not harmful. “What is needed,” she says, “is honest labeling wherever it is an ingredient, in order that the purchasers may know what they are buylng. The States that have strict laws hold that if glucosé is present In red raspberry. preserves, for instance, the label must so state, and a mixed maple syrup must own to its true per- centage of this ingredient. It is said that a mixed syrup and jelly is general- ly sold at a lower price, and this lower price is a sufficlent warning that it is not pure; but who knows what should be the price of the pure product? A guarantee is needed in the true label, Just as pork should not be allowed to figure in the guise of “Potted Chicken"” nor by veal labeled “Deyiled Crab.” The truth about gluclose is this: It is a wholesome food, although less sweet and highly flavored than our older sweets. It is cheap; It ought to be openly sold on its own merits. The ignorance and prejudice of the buyer are largely responsible for the present situation. A few States require the honest label, fewer execute the law. The remedy is more intelligence on the part of the consumer. Ask for the hnne:t Jl.bel. . Left without intelligent help, the blind man lives in a night of thwarted instincts and shackled ambitions.
