.8 tho Blblo continues, year In
and year out, to be tho "best
seller" of all books published,
so does Shakespeare, though
300 years have passed since ho
wrote his plays, continue to be
the most popular of dramatists. All plays
are of two sorts other plays and Shake
speare's. The former have their season
or two of popularity, nnd In some rare
cases their occasional popular "revival,"
but their day Is soon past, and they ico
forever Into the limb of things forgotten.
Htit Shakespeare's plays are of different
stuff. "Ako cannot wither, nor custom
stale their Inflnlto variety." They are the
hardy perennial of the drama, and every
passing season, far from destroying them,
only adds to their sturdy strength.
Vlth most plays to see them onco Is
enough too often more than enougli. A
second visit offers little attractlon-tho
plot presents no novelty, the dialogue no
longer pleases, the choicest bit of wit or
humor, discounted , in advance, . falls dull
on unreceptlve ears, lint tluro Is no
time limit set on Shakespeare's plays.
Well known as each stpry ,1s, Its repett

their lines, ancient aa la their humor. It
Is never' tedious, but like an old favorite
song delights on the twentieth hearing as
on the first. The charm of Shakespeare
only crows with a fnller, closer acquaint
ance. The power of Shakespeare's plays,
when properly presented, to fill any the
ater Is no new discovery, but has long
been a by-word with theater managers.
East and west, north and south, Shake
speare Is the universal magnet that draws
all classes alike to the playhouses. Just
one week ago Sothern and Marlowe, play
Inc an exclusively Shakespearean reper
tory, filled the Brand els theater during
their engagement, doing the largest bus!-

a lay and not a spectacle.
Much may be said for his wisdom in
selecting this particular play of Shake'
speare's to produce. For, though not
always a favorite among producers be
cause ot its heavy demands, "Julius
Caesar" possesses unique attractions.
Written long ago and dealing with
Ultl older age, it is yet ah Intensely
nodern play with an ever current theme,
.he theme ot politics. The conflict ot
imbltlons, the struggle for office and
power, the orator's appeal to the po
pie Caesar's Rome shares them all with
the best of today. Party defection Is no
rarer now than It was when Caesar's
friends turned against him. The speeches
ot Brutus and Antony to the Roman
mob differ not a whlt in spirit from
those of any rally, where one man de
ends his acts ss good and needful or

part that will give her tho best of
chances for serious work. Tho play has
several thrilling situations to work up to

actors, and these Mr. Woodard has care
fully developed In his rehearsals. The

A novelty In musical offerings Is "Tho
Countess Coquette," which opens a two
day engagement at the Brandcls tonight.
It Is a musical' farce from the pen ot
Marcel Janvier of Paris, Frenchy In
flavor, tuneful in music and mirthful in
situations. It Is presented by a company
equal to any seen In Omaha this season.
The story of . the diversion concerns a
count and his son, who fall In love with
girl and her mother, the count pro
posing to the 17-year-old girl, while the
boy proposes to the more-than-double-that
matron. Neither couple knows ot

traffic and succeeds beyond his wildest
expectations, with the eloping colt pies as
his first victims. Complications may be
Imagined easily. They follow rapldl, and
each with a laugh for the audience. Tho
prologue is beautifully staged In a rose
garden scene. There has been a real
sense of artlstlo effort in the designing
of costumes and scenery. There is an
excellently trained chorus and delight
fully charming music. The most Inter

cal theatergoers Is the fact that an
Omaha girl has the leading role. Miss
Vera Allen Is wholly an Omaha product.
