T IllCnr, is a nice question, much

Shakespeare is better read or better seen

"MTHING is se conservative and

nlte process of change In the stage it

In Shakespeare's lifetime, the stage was
a platform for dcclamutien. The audi
tors In the pit actually Meed about it
en three side, and such meager decora
tions as the time afforded were confined
mere or less te the rear. The stage,
new for ever 100 years, has become a
picture, framed, in which the decora
tions have assumed the similitude of the
actual by means of scenes and flies
fashioned In perspective. A careful
perusal of Profcseor Odell's book gives
us the steps by which this transferma
tien nas come about, with much divert
ing detail by the way. Fer example, the
absence of n drop curtain en the old
stage, meeting with the demand for a
change of scene, resulted in the absurd
practice of changing the scene with the
actors en the stage. It does net seem
te have occurred te any one that a cur
tain might be lowered at such a mo
ment, aud then raised. It was a gen
eration after the introduction of the
drop curtain before anybody thought of
lowering it between the nets. And
when at length that momentous possi
bility was renlized a painted drop was
devised, similar te the scenes which had
formerly remained set in the intermis
sions, the green balze curtain being

TUT if the simplicity nnd incongruity
- of the scenes even in comparatively
late times amuse us, even mere ludi
crous te our senses is the old costuming.
It is surprising hew recent a develop
ment U that of consistency of setting
and costume I will net speak of his
torical accuracy. "for that is quite out
side of the question. Wc laugh at the
Incongruity of the medieval sacred plajs
which conceived of the Nutlvitv ns till;
Ing plncc amid the rigors of a Yorkshire
wmter, but neither l'epc, an editor of
Shakespeare, nor Fielding, n great nov
elist, would have seen any incongruity
In Macbeth attired in a full bottom wig
as became the dignity of tragedy and
the red coat and geld lace trappings of
a contemporary Itritish major general.
The reader may see this figutc in the
frontispiece of Howe's "Shakespeare,"
lit)!). rcprediHcd by I'ref. Udell, and
he may likewise see from the same work
Hamlet attired as Dr. Jehnsen nnd his
mother seated in the llkenc-s of (Juefn
Anne beneath a portrait of "the buried
majesty of Denniaik." arrned ns the
Duke of Marlborough. It would ap
pear that a certain conventional waid waid
rebe was accepted for the stage for sev
eral generations, and it consisted of
three sorts. Tirst in order of antiquity
came costume a la Remainc, a culr.is.s,
lefty-crested helmet, buskins and heavy
glove. That delightful tragi d gaiuicnt.
the sweeping toga, doughtily te be
tossed ever the shoulder, had net et
come in. Secondly, there wus the Asiatic-heroic,
invehln; flowing very
(lowing robes, n turban, towering and
feathered, and a scimitar: and lastly.
there wns the European, no matter of
what era, represented by the eestume of
the moment, or rather a limp or -e
behind. The drcses of the actresses of
eid time were simply awesome. Ne one
could then complain of scanty nttirc
upon the stage. The question wus te
find the woman in caparisons. When
Mrs. Hraceglrdle acted the "Indian
Queen." befeathered. befurbclowed nnd
befanncd, with two black pages hearing
en a stuncndeuR train nnd supporting a
canopy rather than nn umbrella ever
her head, there could have been very
little room for anything else en the
every syllnblc of the Shakespearean text
the grave attention which wc give te
whnt James Itusscll Lewell once called
"every Kdzabcthan geese-print" was
In no wise characteristic of our English
forefathers. Shakespeare had taken his
own wherever he found It; why should
net his followers take of Shakespeare
whatever they chose? And they certainly
did exercise this prerogative from the
scandal of Drydcn's "Tempest," In
which n boy who hnd never seen a-girl
Is created te inarch Miranda who hnd
never seen n boy. te the farces cut out et
the comedies, "Macbeth," Davenanted
Inte an opera, anil "King I.ear" Taititicd
into a comedy ending. However, some of
these rcmnk'.ngs of Shakespeare for the
stage are net se reprehensible. The con
ditions of staging had ehanscd as well
as the public taste, and some of the
adaptations, such ns that of "Klchard
111," by Celly Clbber, really make for
dramatic unity and coherency. It may
net be generally appreciated that this
paiticular version of Clbber has held
the stage almost te today. The late Mr.
Mansfield nctcd, I believe, no ether. As
te earlier t'mes, the great Oarrlck never
nctcd "King I.ear," except with Tait's
happy ending in which I.ear is restored
te nil of ins itc wits nnd Cerdelia mar
ricd te IMgnr, while the same great aci
ter's acting version of "Remee and
Juliet" nrinnged for the levers n tender
meeting in the tomb before dentil over
whelmed them.
TAMPERING with the classics is a
very bciieus offense. But this is
the point of view of the scholar. Wc
nheu d never cease te rejoice thut Shake
speaie was net a scholar, but a dram
atist and an actor nnd n mnnnger ns
well as a poet. 1 thiuk that .Shakes
peare would have been the last man te
regard the text of his plays ns sacro
sanct. The usages of his stage, as of
ours, ndmitted ulterntlens. cuttins. ad
justment, change nnd adaptation. This
wns what Shakespeare did te his tired-
ecesers and whnt he would have wel
comed nnd what he certainly get at
the hands of these who followed him;
though it is te be confessed that suc
icss alone ran justify the process, and
he Is n bold man who dnres attempt this
species of liteiary surgery. Wherefore
rt us net quarrel with the Inte Sir
Beerlmlim Tree for 'making n spectncle
of "Henry VIII," with Henry In ing
for reducing the twenty-six scenes of
"King I.cnr" te sixteen or with nny-
body's Hamlet because it is net given
complete, ns Mr. F. It. Bensen once
cae it, "In six long, dismnl hours."
There is nn spnee te comment nn the
wealth of l'ref, Udell gatherings in
later as well as In tliesp earlier times.
Ills bonk with Its alunble reproductions
In picture is invaluable.

the amazing egotist about wnem hub

Mnlnwnrlnr I nn Tlritrllshman of edu

nppears as the forerunner of all the
nelshcvists of a later century. Osten
sibly the champion of labor (for what
he can get out of this championship In
personal advancement) he Bceks In re
ality te pull down whatever he can lay
his hands en, and te create a topsy tepsy
turvy condition generally.
Malnwnring, always a poseur, mnr
rles the daughter of n werklngman, and
then cruelly neg'ects her. even allow
ing her te act as a servant in his estab

high-born lady who alternately loves
him and is bored by him. Meanwhile
there steps In a friend who had culti
vated Malnwaring out of sheer curiosity,
and falls In love with this surprising
person's humble little wife. Wheicupen
Mnlnwaring wants her back and is in

Volumes of colleen verse nre always

Granting the premise that a great deal
of whnt is best in poetry emanates from
the mnn who has gained his education
in the Unlversltv of Life. It Is neverthe

times, even when the stnudard of the
poetry Is high for colleen verse, a golden
mean Is nchlevcd rather than an ex
ceptienal brilliance.
This is the ease with the book of
"Pennsylvania Verse," just Issued by
the Ithvmcrs, n literary organization t
the University. The book is their sec
ond essay In the field of verse, and. as
a whole, Is the equal of their 1017
volume, but there is no outstanding
figur.
The volume contains poems of the
most divergent tynes, the melodious,
metrical lyric and the exotic, apparently
sehemclcs vers llbre. Dr. Cornelius
Wevgandt. of the Hngllsh department
of the University, edited the volume for
the students, n task performed uy rret.
Albert H. Trembly en the former oc
casion. Dr. Weygnndt has shown a
rare judgment In his choice of the dif
ferent varieties of verse and their ar
rangement. If the writing in them is
net always inspired the fault thereof
lies In the individual author.
One of the most attractive examples
of the mere conservative cauenceii verse-
form is Hint wilttcn under the title of
"Pierrette's Seng," by Miss Clarice
Ruth Wilsen, which runs ns follews:
"Oh, haste thee, haste thee, Pierrot!
Fer sec, the moon begins te wane
And jasmine will net always blew.
Ner nightbirds murmur love's refrain,
("He comes! I love him! Ah, hew
fleet!
And yet the waiting was se sweet.)
"Ah. haste thee, haste thee. Pierrot!
Mv lips nre cold without thv kiss.
With youth se short, why then forge
A moment, even, of youth's bliss?
("At last! ne whistles! New we meet! .
And yet the waiting was se sweet.")
The influence of Amy Lewell's keen
Italian hand is shown In such a frag-
ment as the following, called "Silence," '
written by Leuis C. Zucker, the most
radical of the young poets'. I
"While muted, earth palls bitterly .
Hew sharp a pallor violates me
Wound In tatters en glowing spars I
My home-turned sound-swell beats at
and chars." I
The rest of the same poem is of a '
like character, as arc ether pieces by
Mr. Zucker, who Invents words ns
easily as Mr. Gilbert in his merriest
comic opera moments.
Other poets and poetesses are mere
understandable and fellow the middle
track. Rebert B. Splllcr nnd Richard
W. Hatch are two excellent examples.
Reth fellow accepted standards nud
aihiere dignity and beauty,, if net
giandcur or genius.
Miss Dorethy Ramsey has unusual
thoughts in n number of her poems
which are of the realistic school in
subject matter. Miss Felice Dnrkew
nchieves considerable success with such
unusual forms as the vlllanellc.
The volume, which contains about
eighty poems and seventy-five pages, is
dedicated te Rrncst Frank Hausver, a
deceased member of the organization.
