AT SOUTH POLE (Continued from page 1.) Charles B. Hanford's Interpretation ( of "The Merchant of Venice" was witnessed at the Steward lust evening by a well pleased audience, He who averred that Hanford Is at tils best when In comedy only, mistakes, for he plays Shylock with its tragedy aud iibile liunt'iir euualty well. Those old j familiar lines from' Shylock. never j rang out with such greut meaning,' or never came nearer perfection In the way of Interpretation than when Hun ford spoke them. . Shakespeare's idea of what Portia should be Is no dowbt analogous to what Marie Drofnah in terprets. While not possessing that famed beauty, perhaps that Shakes peare accords to Portia, still Marie Drofnah recited the lines admirably. In the court scene especially, did she excell. Her mastery of Portia's part was superb. Again, as usual, John M. Kline was the main prop of the Hanford support. The audience re gretted only that Gratlano was not of tener seen. 'He who is inclined to be critical to a fine point would say that Antonio was- the weakest spot In the leading parts. But, as stated, it would require close discrimination between the parts to draw that conclusion. The old masterpiece was well ren dered. Theatergoers who overlooked the chance, let an evening of Instruc live amusement and unalloyed pleas ure slip by.
