| ' H \ " TURNING ON THE SPOTLIGHT Hampden’s Shylock the Greatest of His Day —A Waltz Week Quality Street” Tri ors—Canadian Soldier Boys Take the Town With “Biff! Bing! Bang!” By CHARLES DARNTON observed at the Broadhurst Hampden appeared in “The Bhylock that ranks with his Haml Toe slow and rare process, the making of stage history, was to be people who walked to it through the rain quickly forgot their wet feet. From the first it was apparent that Mr. Hampden meant business. There ‘were no extfavacances. Never have I ween the Jew played with such econ-| omy of gestures and other manner- tems. In fact, Mr. Hampden was too careful in merely knocking at the @oor two or three times and then bow- ing hia head after Jessica had run @way. There was not enough to in- @icate the daughter's flight. But in the following scene Shytock’s grief and anger were vividly shown. It was here that the character began to take on an unmistakable meaning and be- come the embodiment of vengeance. It leapt from the gleaming eyes and leered at you from the sinister mouth. For once Mr. Hampden succeeded tm completely disguising himself. Even his resonant voice was lost in gutteral tones. Everything he did had the directness of a set purpose— the claiming of that pound of flesh. In the courtroom scene this Shylock did not waste himself upon grotesque manifestations. He listened as no other Shylock, perhaps, has listened. Intent upon catching every word, he stood for minutes at a time without @o much as moving his head. Dirty, shrewd, malevolent and above all de- termined, he was a strong, impressive figure until the final decree sent him out a tottering, broken man. There remained the conviction that Walter | Hampden is the greatest Shylock of Bis day. Mary Hah did well enough in Iny- down the law as Portia, but her ter scenes were lacking in com- edy, The others were serviceable. Hampden's triumph sufficed. It is rather curious in a waltz week, nd with one musical piece called “The Last Waltz," that “Phoebe of Quality Street” should trip off with the honor. There is good music in Doth operettas, yet the fact is that Oscar Straus is beaten at his own game by a comparatively unknown composer, Walter Kollo. ‘The charming music at the Shubert Theatre has an irresistible swing. Evidently this score has not been tampered with—so much the better! It is lees easy to judge in the Straus ease since American tunes have been interpolated. But both musical plays are far above the average, and each has a charming prima donna, Except for inclining to a Lydia Languixh style of acting, Dorothy Ward js thoroughly winsome as the demure Phoebe. But her husband, Shaun Glenville, is burdened with jokes that must have come over with What You Should Know About HOME GARDEN —AND — CHICKEN RAISING By H. E. WETTYEN. A CROP OF PLUMS. | Few people ever get a crop of ‘plums.

In the fire of that performance Columbus, In “The Last Waltz" our own Eleanor Painter is such a delight to the ear as well as the eye that it's hot surprising the hero of the affair feels he could die waltzing. That funny dancer, James Barton, has de- veloped into ‘one of the most comic fellows on our stage. This paper should have said on Wednesday that the costumes and settings of “The Last Waltz” were javish. But the printer got it “gar- ish." This explanation is made vol- Juntarily in justice to the producer. So shines a good deed in a naughty Evening World! Don't let the Canadian soldier boys in “Biff! Bing! Bang!" at the Am- bassador get away without your see- ing them, for they are capital fun, Conaldering they were amateurs when they went in for entertaining their comrades overseas, their talent is little less than amazing. “Red” New- man alone, with his song “Oh, Oh, Oh, It's a Lovely War!" is worth a’ trip to the theatre. He has the look of a real campaigner and a sense of humor that would make a trench tubble over with laughter, Albert Plunkett sing- ing “ I Know Where the Flies Go,” Ross Hamilton as a beauteous “girl,” Jimmy Goode in blackface, and scores of others are uncommonly clever, Goode tells of a little girl lost from her mother in a big store, “Why didn’t you take hold of your mother’s hand?” “Her hands were full of packages.” “Why don’t you take hold | of her skirt?" “I couldn't reach Jt,” anawered the helpless child. Are there no Canadian songs? Any- way, the boys sing one American song after another, especially South- ern melodies, and sing them delight- fully. ‘Once again, let me urge you not to miss The Dumbelis, An Mnes actor who got so tangled in his at a recent first-night perform- ance that he spoke of a “ship shail- ing,” brought to mind the experience of an even more unfortunate ama- teur, As a lord in waiting this.chap had only four words to speak: “The Queen has swooned.” Ae he stepped for- want his frends applauded vocifer- ously. Bowing his thanks, he faced the King and said in a high-pitched volee: “The Swoon has queenod. There was a roar of laughter, but he waited patiently and made another attempt: “The sween has cooned.” Again tho walls trembled and the stage manager said, in a voice which could be heard all over the house, | “Come off, you foo But the amb}- | tious amateur refused to surrender| and as he was dragged off the stage he screamed: “The coon has Sweened.” throwing a couple of furrows together and thus making a ridge from four to six inches higher than the soil level, and about twelve inches wide. Level of the top of the ridge and either plant one row in the middle or two rows eight inches apart. These ridges will protect your crop in wet weather, since the water will Tun off the ridges into the space be- tween the rows, These ridges will also dry out quicker than the sur- rounding level ground. ‘This, there- fore, assures you of an earlier crop, as it tends to force the plants a little. PLAN YOUR POULTRY HOUSE. Now that the ohicks are growing, the question arises, Where shall we put them in the fall? No matter how well you raise the chicks, if you do | not put them in sultable houses in the fall, you cannot expect the best re- sults. Start your coop now, so that it will be ready by fall and the birds can begin the season right. Get Farmers’ Bulletin No, 1113 from the United States Department of Agricul ture and get Circular No, 115 from the New Jersey Experiment Station on Poultry Houses and study them over before you start spending money, on some pet idea that hundreds of other folk have tried before. DON'T DELAY PLANTING. There Is plenty of time yet to plant most garden crops, However, you cannot afford to wait much longer to plant your parsnips, muskmelons, Squash, susify or onion seeds if yc expect to get your crop well matured in due season. You can readily figure it out for yourself when y that they take from to mature. Barly ph pays, for an early crop or a w tured crop is always a satisfaction, while late and immature crops ure always a disappointinent. Plant on time and thus give the seed all the chance in the world to bear a crop. ahs |Wour Killed When Powder Explodes at Fort Sill, LAWTON, Okla.

They're not worrying, even if they have joined the ranks of the more or |1e88 unemployed in Bridgeport. Every night they get their beef shanks just ls same. And ‘it doesn't matter who feeds |them, Beef shanks are beef shanks, jall succulently gnawable, whether | theyr’e thrown through the cage bars |by somebody on Mme. Adgie Cos- |tello’s payroll or by @ deputy sheriff [on the fee list of the State of Con- necticut, It dgesn't even matter to them whose lions they are, They're car- nival lions, and they're accustomed to take everything as it comes, includ- ing ownership, with a stoic calm that might possibly be broken only by an epicurean interest in beef shanks. Therefore, Nellie, her cub lioness, Annie; her grandlion, Woodrow, and her grandlioness, Dona, yawn con- | tentedly to-day in their cage In Mme, |Adgie Costello's Wild Animal Arena of the Joseph Ferrari Carnival Shows at Bridgeport, reconciled even to the absence of Woodrow’s and Dona’s brother, T. R., who is In a deputy |sheriffs barn at East Haven, They still get their beet shanks. After |that they lie on the floor, exercise jtheir jaws a bit, Map their tails on the straw and stare unblinkingly at deputy sheriff Herman Willey, They maye be lions without a pres- ent owner, but they're lions with a home. They’re not worrying. Instead, they're leaving that to Mme, Adgie, to Felix O, Rustand of Morgan Point, to Mrs. Louls Knox of Danbury, to the various Sheriffs who've attached them, and, lastly, to the Sheriffs bondsman. Until everything is set- tled they'll continue to get their beet |shanks, and after that they'll still continue to get beef shanks. However, Mme. Adgie Costello, who is billed as a world-famous trainer of lions, Is worried. Madame returned to Connecticut, which, It develops, since Mr, Edison has begun asking questions, is the third smallest State in the Union, last week, after an ab- sence of several years to join the | Ferrari shows. She has a good act She could make the lions jump through hoops, lay down and roll over. She made Daniel appear as if he were playing in the backyard with a bag of blind kittens he had been told to drown, Bridgeport was enjoying delicious spinal shivers watching her when suddenly a man with a big nickel-| plated badge appeared. He had a| paper which started off with a State of Connecticut, took a leap to a} whereas, hopped to a judgment, | skipped to Felix O. Rustand, and| then jumped plumply on execution. | Felix, it appeared, was an animal trainer at Morgan Point, also in Con- necticut, where the Madame hap- pened to be at the time and Felix had satisfied a Justice of the Ieace that the Madame owned him, or had owned him money, to wit: $92, rep- resenting costs on a judgment for $300. The deputy—his name Is James F. O’Connell— carried off T. R. to his barn at Hast Haven. It was strange quarters for T. R. and somewhat lonely, but he got his beef shanks every evening. SAY LIONS BELONG TO AN- OTHER WOMAN. The act went on, a little atten- uated, but imposing enough, when suddenly another man with a nickel- plated badge appeared. He was Herman Willey, and besides having & paper which read more or less like the one his predecessor carried, he had also @ reputation as a lion keep- er which dated back to the time they named a Bridgeport telephone ex- change after P. T. Barnum. It ap- peared that Felix O. Rustand of Mor- an Point, who, by the way, Is an animal trainer, had acquored another judgment against Mme. Adgie Cos- tollo, this time for $412, and through the due proces of law demanded three lions to satisfy the execution | thereof. It was too much. Madame became angry. The Josepb Ferrari shows be- came peeved. One can’t have a wild animal arena with only one lion. Everybody talked, and then somebody said something: “They're not Mme, Costello's lions!” Herman Willey took a step back- ward. “Those lions," somebody said, “be- long to Mrs. Louise Knox of D bury, and nobody can atach them for anything Mme. Costello may or may not owe.” THOSE LIONS WERE “RENTED.” .. And so it proved, They were In- deed Mrs. Knox's lions, She had “rented” them to Madame after her husband, Dr. L. G. Knox, whose fancy runs in another direction, took up the more extensive raising of Poland China pigs out Golden Hill Road way. Mrs. Knox wasn't going to sit quietly in Danbury and read about her lions being attached. Neither was the doctor, though Poland China shoats have no great affection for Hons. “I'm going to sue the bondsmen of the deputy sheriffs if those lions are taken,” said the doctor, It was disturbing news to Sheriffs.
