It ts so vast in Its scope, so complex la Its relations and obscure In Its final meaning. This play is a subject for thought for students of affairs, as conditions existing in Home in Cae Mr's time bear many similarities to the conditions of today, and in this tragedy Shakespeare has shown that the unchecked lust of power and moral Inertness in the stronger and more Intellectual members of socie ty, combined with the apathy and un reasoning hero worship In the masses, are the causes that do most to destroy liberty and turn back the forces of civilization on itself.. The tragedy rests almost entirely upon the character of Brutus and some commentators even claim that it should be called "Marcus Brutus" Instead of "Julius Caesar." Brutus is the hero but the prwer and death of Caesar form the subject matter. Caesar fills the foreground with the vastness and horror of his power, and the necessity for deliverance from it. Shakespeare, while histori cally faithful, has made a grand mental creation In the character of Brutus. The busy spirit, busied In self-exartiination, and the disturb ance of his stern onsclence when he is doubtful and the calm, resolute firmness when. he sees the removal of Caesar as a duty. This play ha3 always an appeal to thinkers and public men, and Is extensively quot ed In the speeches of all great ora tors. Nothing of Shakespeare's, with perhaps the exception of Hamlet's soliloquy has been the widely quoted as Antony's oration over the body of Casesar. Frederick Warde and a well-balanced company gave a splendid pre sentation of this great tragedy last ulght. The Brutus of Mr. Warde Is did modulatoin of voice and perfect a scholarly interpretation, and was enunciation, two things which the touched with the keen intelligence modern school seems to have dls that distinguishes everything this carded, for most of the actors of the fine tragedian attempts. Mr. Warde present day seem to think that reaj belongs to what we are pleased to ism is the alpha and omega of act call "the old Bchool,' and he has lm- Ing. After hearing so many actors bibed its finest traditions, one of the In modern plays mouthing their most delightful of which Is a spien- words, It is a delight to hear an ac tor whose voice, expression and enun ciation convey everything that the author Intended. Ernest Warde did a splendid piece of work as Casalus, and either by inheritance or Induction he has a clear enunciation -and a finely modu lated voice. He bids fair to take a high place as a Shakespearean act or, which seems to be a neglected field of hlstronic endeavor. All the other characters were cap ably acted. Mr. Warde has given the play an elaborate setting and merits the highest admiration for his artistic endeavor. Galveston News. Grand Opera House tonight. Prices $1.60, $1.00, 75c and 60c. !

Eliminating all the pleasing fea tures of song, the errand choral ef. fecta, with organ accompaniment, la the third act, and the other Interest ing and unusual embellishments, Denman Thompson's famous old New England Idyl, "The Old Homestead," would still be one of the most com pelling and thoroughly enjoyable, aa it has been one of the best enduring plays of the modern American thea tre. More than 30 years ago, Den man Tompson, himself one of the best character actors known to the stage, roughly, hut with a marvelous and seemingly intuitive knowledge of the most sincere phases of human emotions sh bed an unpretentious, small drama, "Joshua Whltcomb." At the outset it told Its story In the brief space of one act. Eventually It grew wlfh cumulative dramatlo force and persuasive naturalness Into a melo dramatic comedy that filled the stags for a good three hours, and) made so strenuous an appeal to all classes of spectators that Its universality de clared Its pre-eminence among plays of Its olnss, giving it first placer un der a new title, "The Old Home stead," In the esteem of all patrons of the theatre. Prolific have been the arguments, and many reasons given for the abiding success and apparent ly lnexhaustable popularity of this now famous New England classic, for . classic It is, however one may object to its want of regularity or rigid con formance with the Bet rules of the drama, but never as yet has any one t been able to shake its grasp upon the affections of the playgoers' of whatever turn of mind, and season after season, for 24 years, It has flllod our theatres to overflowing.
