" eo was the true, unmistakable ie New Forbes-Robertson Makes Hamlet Absolutely Sane. .. BY CHARLES DARNTON. The Evening World Daily Magazine, Friday. Octobe ting of affection in the greeting given Forbee-Robertaon at the new Shubert Theatre last night when he began hte farewell tour of this country in what he rightly descrited as the emreatest tragedy of dramatic history, “Hamtet." Every hand that joined in vweleome seemed to clasp that of the English actor whose retirement from the » stage will mean & distinet loss to two natio! +» «If @ little of the melancholy of ‘Ham let” creeps into these Mines, you may at © Yeupt take heart in the promise that there is to be no juggling with's title that “for once hi otiess to look at him to know him Deen justly béstowed, for down tn his own heart the adtor-knight Prefers to have us think of him simply as Forbes-Robertson.

As for the rest, what can be said of bis Hamlet that has not deen said many times before? It is above all a Hamlet of rare understand- ing, and it should esttle for all time the old argument that has grown ridicu- lous, for first, last ai all the time Forbes-Robertson makes Hamlet abso- lutely sane. This is the most significant phase of his interpretation, and it was emphasised last night as mever before. Back of it ell stood the dlearheaded philosopher, yet there was more feeling, more warmth, than this essentially in- tellectual actor displayed when he ap- peared here in the role teh years ago. The romantic, poetic qualities lacking then were atill missing, but there was more sympathy then before, and that smile at the grave was like @ revela- tion. It sald: “Hamlet is as eane as the best man among you.” If this ‘Hamlet looked older than his mother, YES — (WANT TH Draw CT ALL OUT. tve.cotta BUY MY WORLDS SERI eemark concerning Denmark might fittingly have been applied to the supporting | company.

The next morning found them both rested and in better spirits “When you have returned with me to my father, Thandar,” the girl asked, “where shall you go then?" “I shall return to the sea where may watch for a ship to take me to my own land,” he replie “T have seen bu! o ship in all my lfe,” said Nadara, \d that wae years ago.

They wandered up and down the coast and came back Into the for- cata and the jungles for a few miles. “My mother sald that they were searching for me, and that If they found me they would take me away, T was very much frightened.” At the mention of her mother Waldo recalled the little parcel that Nadara's father had given into hie custody for the girl, He unfastened it from the thong that circted hie waist, where it had wencae peather-ssin ?
