That this rather limp palmed greet
ing was a possibility not at all un
forseen by Mr. Hackett, was evidenc
ed by his words to the writer several
days prior to the opening of his Shak
espearean season with Viola Allen at
t)he Criterion:
"If five years suffice to establish
by interpretation of Macbeth favor
ably in the critics' minds I shall feel
that I have accomplished my task in
record time. I hope nnd believe
that it will be much sooner welcomed
by the public.
"My father's Falstaff was howled
down. His best friends pleaded with
him to drop it. His reply was that
if, at the end of five years he had
not firmly established himself in the
hearts and minds of critics and bub
Hc. He would abandon the role.
He played it for forty years; and I
am quite willing to leave the present
day standing of my father's Falstaff
to speak for itself.
"I expect my Macbetih to be severe
ly criticised, but on tho fly leaf of
my prompt book you will find the note
on which I base all that I have done
in my interpretation of Macbeth, and
upon wliich I stall stand for exactly
five years. It reads:
'IShakosipeare (threw all tradition
to the winds in writing Ihis plays, so
I propose to do likewise in my inter
pretation of the character of Macbeth
and in the interpretation of other
characters of the play if I shall deem
it essential.'
"The atmosphere pervading the
play of Mncbetfh is that of Evil. ' In
trigue and unscrupulous) ambition
abound throughout the incidents.
This has led not only present day
critics, but so illustrations a player
as Sir Henry Irvine to paint Macbeth
himself as a black hearted villian with
his mind brjnt on the murder of Dun
can even before the rise of tfhe cur
tain upon the first net.
"I cannot understand how a man
with the gigantic brain of Sir Honry
Irvine could so misconceive the true
chnractei of the birr, bluff, good hervrt-
ed warrior wl'o, throrifrh tho . subtile
snirgestions of his ambitious wife and
the influences of the same rtripe
which she brings to bear upon him
is fired at last witlh something of her
vile spirit of conquest and finally is
moved to murder.
"How to explain the words and ac
tions of Macbeth after the murdenr
has been committed, otherwise than
by interpreting the character as I
have interpreted it, I cannot imagine.
"Every other Macbeth I ever heard
of was painted a deep dyed seronndrol
from curtain to curtain. I prefer to
consider Macbeth a perfectly human
being, led into his errors step by
step by the circumstances nnd in
fluences that surround him. Is not
this the bistory of the development of
most vill'ans in real life? I think it
is.
"How little real attention ever has
been given to the production of Mac
beth is clearly shown,"" I believe
in the long procession of sheeted and
f fr the most part gather heavy set
gbosts that stalk and prowl baldly
through the conservative production
of Macbeth .
"Had those who made the presen
tations paused a moment to consider,
'they would have realized that Shape
speare wis compelled to write down
to his audiences, which were much
more from Missouri than the audi
ences of today. When Shakespeare
wanted to present a ghost to' his audi
ences, he had to present a ghost tfhat
was a very ghostly ghost and plain
ly labelled: This is a Ghost!
"Were Shakespeare alive and writ
ing Macbeth today, he would have no
such palpable apparition, I believe
be would quite agree with me. I
have merely the suggestion of a
ghost, made by a flickering green
light upon the scarlet velvet of a
chairback, or fluttering here and
there about some corner of tho
room. Macbeth really saw no
ghost, you know; it was merely part
of the imaginings . or a naif-crazed
man such as I interpret Macbeth to
be just after the murder."
"I believe Macbeth is the most dif
ficult and generally shunned of
Shakespearean roles. , It has come to
be a tradition among players that to
have a part in tho presentation or
even to quote Macbeth is bound to
bring disaster. . x . -.' ' .
"I do not believe this any more than
I believe the old nonsense about
Shakespeare being unpopular with
the public. The great trouble always
has been that Shakespeare has been
made unpopular by being presented
to the public by players who did not
know how to play Shakespeare.
"Booth's Hamlet invariably played
to packed houses. . The same is true
of Keene's Othello and my father's
Falstaff. That was because each in
his respective sphere know how to
play Hamlet and Othello and Falstaff.
"It is my ambition to play Macbeth.
Played in and around and about Mac
beth unquestionably has - been; but
Macbeth himself, the.ireal, ithe true
Macbeth, never has been played."
