But No Philosopher
And that brings us to what is perhaps Shakespeare's fundamental failing
and certainly the one huge and overpowering error of those who celebrate his
tercentenary. In plte of all their reiterations, he was no philosopher. He
had no exalted mind. He left the impcrUimto his emotions. In line, he was

popularity lies in the fusion of those three interests of life laughter, love
and death not alone with poetic power or dramatic sense, but with both.
"Within limits that pin the avcrago man, ho felt tremendously. So he : ex
pressed character, within those limits, profoundly. He was easily the great,
wtmuslcmastcr the English language ever had. And he possessed . a ; subtle,
yet hard-drivlng dramatic' sense equaled by no other poet and by few play
Wrights. Small wonder that he could win the admiration of the mass of
mankind through tho centuries and the esteem of the most exacting critics.
His was truly great art expressing the simplest and clearest, tho most uni
versal and least temporal emotions of mankind with a power that made
them at the same timo arresting and exalted.

Norma Talmass (Triangle).
Anita Stewart (Vltacraph).
Pauline 1'redertck (Famous Flayers).
ICdltli Htorey (Vltaaraph).

bo Included In so doing I was forced
to exclude Frank Keeuan, Fairbanks. Ty
rone Power, Edeson. Florence need and a

Of tho actresses who I think nro the best.
First. Norma Talmnge, who Is versa
tile and whoso portrayal of emotion Is
very natural and lifelike.
Second. Pearl White, for her daring
exploits and distinctive personality.
Third. Anltn. Stewart, because of her
benuty nnd childlike simplicity.
Fourth Mubel Normnnd ns alto Is the
qneisn of the female comedians.
Fifth and sixth May be any two of a
scoro or more or others.
Norma Talmuge, Pearl White, Anita
Stewart and Mabel Normand In my opin
ion lean their particular Una of artistic
endeavors.
A.i to the actors, the crowning honors
go to the Pathe especially to Dalboa.
They have tho most of the best actors' of

The Second Anniversary
pi the Stanley
Theatre
With the week openlnp; April 24. an
lmmtlntely following Haster, will l
celebrated the second anniversary of th
building and opening of the Stanley The
ntre, tho splendid modern playhouse which
has revolutionized the movlng-plcture In
dustry ns far ns Philadelphia Is con
cerned, and even had Its effect upon ihe
standards of Ihe entertainment wortyl the
country over Credit for this Ilea largely
with Stanley V. Mastbaum, president of
the company, whose clear science and In
domltable energy established the "Stanley
service" and made possible "Stanley suc
cess." Two years ngo the motion-picture In
dustry wns Just beginning to cast off Its
chrysalis garments. Tho melodramas of
tho alleged wild nnd woolly West or of
tho underworlds of the big cities etill had
the call ns attractions. A comparatively
few men nnd women had established
themselves us screen stars, but the day of
fabulous salaries to net before the
camera, the dny of the film production
of standardized world-famous plays, with
tho original stage stars of International
reputation appearing In them, was but
Just dawning, Such costly and complete
productions as nre now put out weekly
by such corporations as the Paramount,
Triangle, Metro, World, etc, wera ns yet
undreamed of.
It was Mr. Mastbatim's Idea held At
a time when a few agreed with htm that
tho film drama was due to, In a largo
measure, supplant the spoken play, at
tract the tame class of patronage as had
supported tho latter! that this patronage
would demand the same comforts and
even luxuries In their favorite placo of
uvenlng resort ns they had been nccus
tomd to, nnd that they would be perfectly
willing to pay for high-class entertain
ment nnd pleasing environment.
Tho net and concrete result of that
Idea was the building of tho Stanley
Thcatro, modern to tho minutest detnll,
possessed ,of ovcry theatre necessity and
comfort, nnd all of the luxuries and em
belllshments which the finest playhouses
of tho world possess, also perfect ventila
tion nnd unsurpassed musical acoustla
appliances.
Many there wcro who voiced the opin
ion that tho building of such an clabornto
theatre for tho exclusive housing of film
play was a reckless gamble. Mr. . Mant
bnum Instead considered It ono of tho
wisest Investments In a suro futuro, nnd
his Judgment has been more than vindi
cated, for the Stanley Theatre hns been
a hugo success from Its first opening day,
nnd thnt euccesn Ii constantly on the In
crease. In speaking of UiIb success and
tho approaching second anniversary of
It, Mr. MaBtbnum snys:
"My only surprise Is that nny one else
should bo surprised at tho forward
stridor the last two years havo shown

Inevitable ai tho cycle of Uie days and
