William Shakespeare.
The enllghtonod world finds time, even In
the midst of aborbing and disturbing war, to
pay a tribute to the memory of a man of
transcendant genius threo centuries after hi
death, William Shaospcuro long ago ceaHt-d
to be an English poet, and became a world
poet, and tho observations that have marked so
far the tcr-centenary of his death, and are yet
to como, fitly answer the cynicism of Hamlet
"Why, then, a good man's memory may outlive
Us death by half a year!" icings and princes
may be forgotten; politicians burled In the dunt
of passing time; even the names of soldiers and
scientists fade from Time's scroll, but the pop
who sings of Ufa and Its perplexities In terms
of majestic simplicity Is fairly sure of being r
membured. Words of praise now heaped on
tha same of William Shakespeare are but added
to mountains of accumulated encomiums pro
Bounced from the time his wonderful gift
glowed forth In Its lambent light at the Globe
and Blackfrlars through all tbe S00 years down
to now, It has beon tbe ambition of every worthy
actor to excel in the performance of a Shake
spearean role; It has been tho Joy of every stu
dent to familiarize blmttolf with the Imagery and
ripe philosophy so nobly expressed by Shake
speare, and even the casual reader of his
dramas and sonnets has found delight In beau
ties thut ahlne and ablmrner, showing a new
tight or a different glory each time they are
examined.
If devotion IncrcaHlng with pasnlng time be
tha test of literary greatness, William Shake
speare has fairly achieved immortality.
Easter and Its Message.
Easter Sunday is the greatest of all the
church's festivals, because of its sentiment,
It Is tba celebration of faith, in tho Immortality
of man and tha resurrection. Birth and death
are demonstrable facts, and tha common expert
ence of all. But the II fo after death Is a rnat
ter.of faith. It cannot be proven by science
Neither logic nor reason can pierce the veil that
hides from man's Inquisitive scrutiny the secret
of existence. Faith alone can carry him behind
tbe shadow. It matters not the source of his
aspirations, bis longings for, or whether he
deserves, Immortality. His faith In a life after
death Is fixed and Is renewed with each recur
ring Easter. Man's hopo looks beyond this
narrow vale between tba cold peaks of two
eternities," and In the rebirth of Nature each
year he finds encouragement that keeps him
strong In his belief. This Is the message of
Easter, that If a man dio ha shall live again.
Wonian After the War.
Tha social and economical status of woman
In Europe after tbe war is coming In for some
discussion, and Is of vital concern in the United
States, because conditions abroad will be di
rectly felt in this country. It Is agreed that
woman has captured certain positions In Indus
try from which she Is not likely to be dislodged.
This Is repeating tbe experience of America,
where woman first gained a foothold In tha
activities of life outside the home beeause of
belnar forced to do man's work while he fought.
A similar situation now prevails In Europe.
There woman has already been given a greater
opportunity to work side by side with man, but
now sba has entirely dlsplsced hlra In many
occupations, and will certainly hold most of
tbera for her own when the men corae march
ing borne to peace.
Along with this as affecting wages and
tber factors In tbe problem of production
must be considered the employment of those
men whose physical ability has been Impaired
but not entirely destroyed by injury incident
to the war. A vast number of cripples will be
nresentlr injected into Industrial life; their
pay will be based on their productive capacity,
ffected In soma degree by their pension. Tbe
inevitable effect of this will ba to lessen the
opportunity for Industrial employment of tbe
Bound who' survive. One other phase of the
problem, simple enough In Its general terms,
but tremendously complex In its incluslvenesn
i the lowered purchasing power of money that
111 como along with other changes due to the
readjustment.
All this does not nocessarlly mean an era
of low wages, as suggested by some German
rlters, but It does mean a rearrangement so
general that no brancn ot industry or commerce
111 escape Its Influence. Americans will find
btreln mora than ever causa for the protec
ts n of home markets and home labor against
Europe.

To dnyniia who ba ruad, HlinJieepeara and seen
tho play acted, th torcrntcnitry Is naturally a re
minder of th notrd actor and aririii who hav
rwiayrd th rfilo and of th contrast hfltween them.
I have, I believe, men moat of tha great Khukan
pearaan actor who have appearnd In this country In
my day going back a far a Mcfulluiigh, although
my Impression 1 that whon I aw him In my boy
hood, it was In "Vlrglnlui" and not In a flhakr
pear raat I it Booth, however, several time,
Ilumlet, a Macbeth and a Ilnilua, I remember
seeing tha -rrent thre-tar combination of Booth, Har
rett and Modjmka In "Jullu Caesar" In th old Holi
day fHreat theater In Uultlmor while I was a tu
dont at John Hopkins. Th call for "super" to fill
In "the mot)" had been anewnrrd by the university
tudnilK, who aaw an alluring chance to tak In th
show costumed as Ilomnn citizen and earn W) cent
Into Uia hurgnln, To my grat dlsappoliitmrnt I wa
barred becuuee I wa too small to fit tha lg
clothea and I had to dig up 60 cent of my own
money for gdmlnalon to th top gallery, wher I, with
other, could look down on our fellow tudent and
Interchange lgn and counter lsn of recognition'
I happened also to attend a performnnea of "Mil
both" at th Broadway theater In New York a yaar
or two later, for which Uooth and Jtarrett wer caat,
but Barrott had bevn taken with his last lllneas and
even a th play wa proceeding, word wa brought
that b wa dying, nd the gloom of this tragedy
could almost be seen a It spread over bis fellow
tragedian behind th footlights.
I have an Impression that "Hamlet" wa th first
Shakespeare play I ever wltnesaed and that It was
put on by the then widely advertised "actor
preacher," Bev, Oeorgs C. Mlln. Klther that, or It
wl "fllchard III." toed by Thomas W. Keane. At
all events, I have seen (pilto a succsaalon both of
Hamlets and of King Richard. Th list of
"melancholy ranes" Include beside Mlln and Booth,
Henry Irving, Alexander Hnlvlnl, Walker Whiteside,
Hothorn, and other down to Forh-l"lot."rtou' last
production of It here, and among th diabolical king
murderer, Keen, Wblteelde, Warda and Richard
Mansfield. A rare and most Interesting experience en
joyed by (peidal favor wa tha prtvlleg one of
watching s draaa rehearsal of "King Richard HI" by
Mansfield and his company In tha fall of 1194 when
they opened their seaeon her. Mansfield, hlmielf, in
treet costume, drilled hi associate In full regalia
through their part on th stag of th Crelghton
theater, now the Orpheum, to a hou of empty sent
(except ours), and showed! what kind of a taskmaster
wa required to muk th finished production of a
Manaflold Company. Another play witnessed th next
day wo that of "Th Merchant of Venice," rehearaed
In tha am way.
I aw th elder Ralvlnl In "Othello,", as mentioned
befor la this column, and I alio saw Barrett play tha
"Moor" to Booth' "Jago." Of th lea frequently
played dramas, w have had Ward In "King Iar,"
Ward snd James In "Henry IV," Mansfield In "Henry
V," Modjeaka In "Henry VIII." Measure for Measure"
has alao bevn ones or twice on the boards bere.
Of Shakespeare's comedies there r many that
ar never wearying, no matter how often een. In th
part of th rollicking Roeallnd of "As Tou I.Ik It," It
has been my pleunure to compare Modjeska, Ada
Rohan, Marlowe, and th sum also a Viola In
'Twelfth Night," as well aa Marl Walmlght Daly'
company in N'ew York used to have at lenat on
Phakaapear revival each aeaaon, among them which
I have attndel bealde thoa mentioned, "Love's
Ibor 1-ost," "Much Ado About Nothing." "Taming
of tha Shrew" and "Midsummer Night's Dream."
That reminds ma of the moat novel experience of
this sort which I recall, being a rendition of "Mid
summer NImIu's 1 'ree in" In Bohemian at tho Bo
hemian National theater In Prague. I could undr
ataad acarccly a word of th language, but knowing
the play had no difficulty in following It It waa.

Out of our sweet, sheltered chamber the

Mid the meek bloenoml

Queening It gently and

Tenderly nurtured, and

Flowers of womtilp and mystery, clothed

We ore th festival lilies, Immortally

Hear, then, the meassg w bring to the
children of care.
Have y not known of our planting, bulbs
shriveled snd stark,
Hidden awav llkn the dead, In th dust
snd the dsrk.
Lying In deepest oblivion, children, a
doom,
Lost to Um eyes that ar eager for glory
and bloom?
Have y not known of our rising th
stems that unfold,
Mounttnr and budding, and opening in
wliilinem and gold?
We are all witnoHseu, we are the chosen,
Ihe blest.
Rising most royally out of our patience
and rest!
Heed, then, the message of Easter, y

If ye have given your dearest to silence

If ye have buried your hopes, ah I so bit

Look to our slory, and sea, with awak

How the lost beauty shall truly and

Bee all around you the lovely reviving ot

Flowing of sen and of wafer, new bloom- ,

Ponder us. then, as wa rlr you the
