Shj lock Is on' f (he highest. -lublliuim of the aitor)) art, This ambition ,hos been signally realised In the case of Charles P. Ilanford, who brings tils magnificent production of this master piece to steward's opera housa ion Monday, March 22. Owing to the magnitude of Mr. Hunford's Shake spearean productions lfis engagements are necessarily brief. Hut they are Invariably brilliant. Mr. Hnnford enjoys a following such as few players can bonst, composed as It Is not only of those, who seek the theater as a means of simple diversion but of the people who aro tempted to the playhouse only by the assurance that something of substantial and ex traordinary merit Is to be ffered. Mr. Hajiford has made an especial study of the role of Shylock., ' He, has the faculty of making every', pari he plays distinctly human and he Invests his Impersonations with a, .sympathetic Interest which fascinates the senses and delights the intelligence.
