MANSFIELD AS HENRY V
NOTABLE ARTICLE FROM THE
DEA9T OP AMERICAN CRITICS.
Mr. "Winter Xa 04 Jfovr, but His Pen Is
Tonnsr a Ever Manafleld's
fine Impersonation.
Richard Mansfield's opening In Henry
Y is thus treated by William Winter in
the New York Tribune:
The dark is followed by the dav.
Bhakespeare'e representative imago of
Failure and Sorrow- fades and disappears,
and, emerging- on the same stage, with
Eoiden flare or banner and vibrant tu
mult of martial sound, comes hakes
peare'a representative image of Success
and Happiness. For Hamlet the pall and
the sepulchre, the heavy night and the
moaning of the unknown sea; for Henry
of Monmouth the throne and the sceptre,
the blaze of noon, and all the glories and
pleasures of the world. These two flg
ures stand at the furthest opposite ex
tremes of life, and nothing could be more
instructive, whether as a study of human
nature or an illuminative disclosure of
Shakespeare's mind, than the contrast
that they present. In Hamlet the poet
2ias portrayed baffled thought and nerve
less, will, culminant in misery; in Henry
of Monmouth, artfully building on. a
Btaach historic basis of fact and poetical
ly magnifying the actual character, he
has portrayed his consummate jueal of
the perfect man of action the man who
knows exactly what he wants, and, hav
ing no 'craven scruple of thinking too
precisely on the event," will take the in
atant way to grasp It, and will hold It
against all the world. His love, with all
that this word means, undoubtedly went
with Hamlet; his sane approval and calm
radmiratlon go with Henry. He has drawn,
in this character, a man without weak
ness, and he has invested him with al
most every virtue with sincerity, simplic
ity, stability, dignity, piety, truth, valor
and wisdom, the graces of gallantry and
the charms of kindness and humor. This
type of man is readily comprehensible,
and since the permanence and welfare ci
leociety depend upon exactly such persons,
jit would hardly be possible to say too
much in his praise. But it will not pass
'unobserved that this type of man moves
"wholly In the region of fact. Henry of
tMxxnmouth has neither imagination nor
letrong affections. The man who could
(break the heart of Falstaff must be ad
'mlred for his Impartial Justice and re
epeoted and honored for his righteous be--havior;
but he cannot be loved. All the
i same he carries with him the liking of
the busy world, he is exceptionally worthy
of study, and his presence on the stage
is a public benefit. Mr. Mansfield, ac
cordingly, has done well and wisely, not
ilor himself alone, but for the commu
Oiity. in his timely revival and splendid
production of 'IHenry V."
To the Shakespeare student the poet's
fine amplification of truth, in his delinea
tion of Henry's character. Is especially
delightful. The actual man seems to have
ibeen a reformed rake. He entered while
yet in boyhood npon the active business
of life, leaving' Oxford University when
aiborut 32 years old, and following King
ij&ch&rd M in his expedition of warfare
Into IreJand. By King Bichard he was
tsnlghted when in that country. A little
later, when only 15, he led one of the
armies of his usurpatory father, Henry
IV, in Wales, and he participated In the
decisive battle of Shrewsbury, where he
fought bravely and was severely wound
ed. His precocious talents, his efficiency
and his popularity, however, at first dis
pleased his father engendering in the
mind of that wily and treacherous poli
tician the furtive distrust and jealous sus
pioion that insincere and crafty persons,
Judging others by themselves, are always
Quick to entertain and slow to relin
quish and the restraints consequently
put -upon his youthful ardor thereupon
drove him into excesses of profligate, be
havior, "covering discretion with a coat
of folly." Such a result is not altogether
uncommon in human experience, anf
Shakespeare has happily remarked that
"the strawberry grows -underneath the
nettle." When the liour of royal respon
sibility arrived the Prince cast away his
lightness and became a man In earnest
ruling himself, as the first and most es
sential preparation for ruling others. At
St ho became King of England; at 2G he
gained his astonishing and dazzling vic
tory over the French, at Aglncourt, de
feating and subduing a force vastly su
perior to his own; and at 34, after other
wars and vicissitudes, he died so young
a man, to be so astute in statesmanship
and so potent in arms, that his career
seemed only to have just begun. Undoubt
edly he was a great executive spirit; only
a great executive spirit could thus have
predominated, in an age when the most
common of crimes was the cutting off of
tongues and the putting out of eyes; but
there is nothing In history or tradition
showing him to have been such a man as
might have merited the almost ecstatic
encomium of Canterbury, In Shakes
peare s play, or might have uttered the
wonderfully fine farewell speech to
Scroop, or the wide-reaching, 'philosophic,
noble soliloquy on the vanity of mortal
greatness. Shakespeare has transfigured
him. adding poetic glamour to historic
truth, and making a great fact still great
er Ith .the augmentative glory of an
immortal Ideal. According to the old
chronicles the Prince changed as if by a
miraculous conversion from a profligate
brawler and reveller to a virtuous mon
arch. According to Shakespeare-and
herein the poet is a better authority than
the historian he did not change", but
-was developed, laying down a mask, cast
ing aside the loosely worn garment of as
sumed depravity, and discarding by nat
ural process the vices and follies which
he had only tolerated, but which never
had been an Integral part of his charac
ter. No wonder, surely, that the memo
ry of Henry V Is revered by the English
people, and that every relic and memen
to of him is sacredly cherished.,. The
traveler in Wales still sees Monmouth
Castle, in which this Prince was born
preserved as a shrine of pilgrimage. Tn a
little church in Southampton, not far
from the steamship landing, a tablet
marks the grave of Scroop and his ac
complices who conspired to murder him,
Just as he wae embarking for the xmm
orable campaign In France, and who suf
fered death for their treason. Queen's
College at Oxford has its memorial of
his lodgement and his brief days of d's
cipline and study. And over his tomb in
Westminster Abbey are still dlsolaved.
with one of his helmets not of the kind
that was worn in battle, the saddle and
the shield that he used at Aglncourt,
The great speeches for an actor with
which the play of "Henry V" is adorned
are the King's adjuration to Lord Scroop;
his appeal to the soldiers before Hnr
fleur; his soliloquy on the contracted for
tunes of the monarch and the peasant;
Canterbury's description of ihe King end
that same eloquent primate's verbal por
trayal of a well-ordered kingdom, as sym
bolized by the commonwealth of the bees;
Exotcr's pathetic account of tht deaths
of Tork and Suffolk, who wore slain at
Aglncourt; and the superb vord picture,
by the Chorus, of the night before the
battle. Most of thse passages were re
tained In Calvert's sta-Tc version of the
drama, but Mr. Mansfield ha& somewhat
exceeded Calvert (who followed rharles
Kean's plan In all essentials), in the lib
erality of his retentions of the original
text, so that the piece, though necessarily
pruned and shortened, is presented with
large fidelity to the author. The original
play, as all readers of it are aware, is
more epic than dramatic a narrative of
episodes Illustrated with pictorial tab
leaux and with lyrical commentary moi-e
than a fabric of continuous action, and,
for this reason, when given on the stage)
It must be treated more op less as a spec
tacle. The central fact to be exhibited
te that King Henry V, on coming to the
throne of England and being advised by
file counsellors that he possessed a valid
claim to that of France, led an armv into
jhat country (then torn and distracted by i
Internal feuds), met and defeated, with
great slaughter, the forces of'the French
King, Charles Vt, at Agfncourt, and re
turned home, In triumph", to wed1 the
French King's daughter, the Princess
Katherine, and to become, for all time,
a supreme image of Teal authority and
martial renown. It must have been very
difficult to frame this sequence of events
in a practical play; but Shakespeare, with
admirable Ingenuity (the dramatic In
stinct and faculty with which he was
born and the apt stagecraft that he had
acquired), dexterously resorted to the old
Greek expedient of a Chorus, and by the
Introduction of various humorous charac
ters Of common life and the invention of
various effective situations and striking
and amusing incidents, overcame the in
trinsic obstacles of the theme; and he
has made an historical piece, comming
ling drama and spectacle, which expressed
more fully and better than any other sin
gle work in existence the national spirit
of England and the universal Idea of
practical achievement. There Is not near
ly as much character in "Henry V" as
there is in Henry IV"; but in some of
its scenes notably that of the death of
Falstaff and that of the night before
Agincourt the light of Shakespeare's
genius, alike in humor and pathos, shines
with all the luster of his brighter day.
In this play the lover of quaint character
and of the serio-comic contrasts of grav
ity and mirth, first meets with the de
lightful Fluellen; and In this play, having
rejoiced over the pranks and frolics of
Falstaff and his associates, he ie made to
think of the old knight when smiling on
his fingers' ends and babbling of green
fields and so lapsing Into the silence and
the cold; and he follows Bardolph and
Uj-rn to their haven of the gallows tree,
and poor old Quickly having become Mrs.
Pistol to her death In the hospital, and
Ancient Pistol himself, who has swal
lowed his leek, to the scene of new ad
ventures, that can have but one close,
as a cutpurse on the highways of Eng
land. "For humors do 'abound," In this
history, and solemn thoughts are prompt
ed by It, and "when time serves there,
shall be smiles."
There Is no subtlety In the character of
Henry of Monmouth. The words that ne
says of himself In the piquant wooing
scene with the Princess Katharine most
charmingly acted, on this occasion de
scribe him clearly, and no Intelligent ac
tor of the part can miss its. meaning.
He is "a fellow that never looks in his
glass for love of anything that he sees
there"; he has "a good heart that never
changes"; and he Is "the best king ot
good fellows." In that way Mr. Mansfield
has comprehended the poet's conception
and that is the ideal he has embodied.
There Is, to be sure, in Mr. Mansfield's
nature either elemental or acquired a
propensity to grim and mordant sar
casm, an attribute which, while It gives
point and brilliancy to every Impersona
tion of Incarnate wickedness, such as
Baron Chevrlal or Mr. Hyde, Is radically
inharmonious with the temperament of
Henry; and this subtle emanation of char
acter Is apt, at odd moments, to glim
mer forth, In a look or a tone, a pose
or a verbal inflection, In all that he em
bodies. There Is, also, a certain slugglsn
ness, at times, In his movements prob
ably the vis inertia of German phlegm
which a little dims his brilliancy; and he
does not give as scrupulous heed as
might be desired to the niceties of elocu
tion; but this Is the fashion of the time.
On the other hand he possesses abundant
geniality and humor, a bold presence, a
bluff manner, a remarkably copious and
resonant voice, the power of Intellectual
concentration, the repose of self-control
at the topmost tensity of excitement, nd
great capability of illuminative, diversined J
action. His performance of King Henry
V is noble, authoritative, winning, elo
quent, and more sympathetic than any
embodiment that he has hitherto set be
fore this public The spirit ofj it Is manly
and the mothod of it is simple. Indeed,
the element of simplicity should be named
as Its pervasive. Invariable and predomi
nant virtue; and this Is a crowning ex
cellencefor. In every one of his actions,
Henry is direct, and In every one of nis
speeches, howsoever elborate, Ire uses
the plainest words and comes quickly to
his point; it would not, perhaps, be er
roneous to say that he Is Impatient ot
talking and holds It In contempt. The
straightforward1 frankness of the actor is
exactly germane to the ehnracter, and It
coula not be too highly extolled,, in the
wooing scene which, though Henry Is
not a lover, requires deep sincerity, veiled
but not hidden by 'a sweet, airy playrui
ness and bantering levity he was entire
ly delightful. In the colloquy of mystifi
cation with the soldiers his temperatlve
modulation of the princely manner witn
that of the comrade was skilful and
happy. In the sadly pensive soliloquy up
on the empty ceremony that environs a
King he gave a very solemn expression
to the sense of responsibility which se
questers and saddens . a conscientious
rulei, and he became a pathetic Image ot
the sombre isolation of a great mind in a
great station. In the exhortations to mar
tial valor he was splendidly vehement If
not irresistibly Impulsive. But his high
est achievement was his delivery or
Henry's withering arraignment and pite
ous rebuke of the hideous treachery of his
bosom friend, Lord Scroop. There are few
speeches comparable with this one, ror
feeling, for Image y, and for veroai Deauty.
even In Shakespeare; and Mr. Mansfield,
in his utterance of it, rose to a noble
height of dignity and pathos. His grasp
of the character was ,shov.-n to be com
plete, at that point. There Is no other
situation implicating so many and such
varied and deep emotions. The rest of
the part, Indeed, is evenly heroic In spirit
and generally bright in -texture. A man
so completely self-centered as Henry of
Monmouth, a man whose view of himself
Is that of almost unqua.ifled approbation,
and who obtains everything that he de
sires and this with the concurrent ap
probation, and adulation of all the world
should be characterized by a cheerful
buoyancy; there should not only seem to
be In him a kind of joy he should -be
Joy Incarnate This condition Mr. Mans
field has perceived, and this condition Is
abundantly expressed In his embodiment
of Henry V. His efforts were seconded
with great and often with signal talent
by a numerous and well-salected com
pany, the composition of which Is shown
by the cast. Performances of ex
ceptional merit were given by -Mr.
Andrews as the peppery little Fluellen,
Mr. Griffith as the flamboyant, gran
diloquent, swashbucklerlng, pusillani
mous Pistol, Joseph Whiting as Will
iams, the blunt and burly soldier, Estelle
Mortimer as Mrs. Quickly (now Mrs. Pis
tol), Florence Kahn as the Chorus (her
speeches being spoken with discretion,
efficient Intelligence and fine effect), and
little Dorothy Chester as the Boy who
attends on Falstaft's trio of blackguards
and so comically sees through their blus
ter. With all these the crowded and
brilliant audience was greatly pleased, as
Indeed It was with everything.
Upon the details of Mr. Mansfield's pro
duction of this Shakespeare spectacle the
stage setting of the numerous scenes,
the processions, the tableaus, the ban
ners, the weapons, the armor, the ap
parel, the music the 14th and 15th cen
tury trappings and characteristic shows
it would be possible to write "a whole
history." Much has been done to create
and sustain Illusion, as to the architec
ture, the habiliments and the customs
social and martial of England and France
500 years ago. Many of the dresses arc
those that the lamented Augustln Daly
caused to be made for his contemplated
revival which was abandoned for want
of a Falstaff of "Henry IV"; they fit this
play as well, and they are magnificent.
The vigilant eye of a Planche, gazing up
on this profuse and replete spectacle,
would probably discern In It, here and
there, an incorrect spearhead or an in
appropriate spur, or an Englishman with
long hair. In a reign when long hair was
never worn. "The present eye praises the
present object" as Shakespeare himself
has said. The production was very beau
tiful. Slightly to vary the well-known-lines

vaccinated. He "cannot come to school
unless he Is vaccinated." I can conceive
of scarcely any other demand that the
teacher or board could make of me
against which my whole self-hood would
rise as against this. I feel that they are
Intruding upon what should be considered
forbidden ground. Because my boy has
been entrusted to them for a few years
for his mental development, has he been
wholly given over to them, while 1 still
have the privilege of bearing his financial
condition? Is that the. inevitable suppo
sition? Then 1 shall withdraw my trust.
It Is well known that though the ma
jority of cases of vaccination turn out
all right, there is a good minority that
do not. Some time we will come to recog
nlzo that the hope of the world In many,
things lies with tho minority. Any parent
should feel that he or she Is assuming a
serious responsibility to Introduce into
a healthy little body, a virus that will
counteract such a condition as smallpox
will bring on. There are some systems
that will absorb this and be none tne
worse for It. There are other systems
with which it will not act In harmony at
all. We all understand how It Is possible
for some natures to become contaminated
because of bad association and never be
as good again. Do I understand that our
Board of Education make the claim that
It Is not possible for a physical nature
to undergo a change of that kind? 1
cannot believe that they do. Then why
take the children en masse and,j subject
them to the same treatment?
My child's body Is as precious to mo
as his soul, for both are of God, each
having Its own mission. Were it per
mitted me to give him absolutely any
earthly 'gift I should g.ve him good h:a.tn.
He has that now, and Is it right to him
for me or a. Board of School Directors
to jeopardize that? ,
One of my dearest friends, until three
years of age a healthy, bright child, but,
ever since an Invalid as the result of
blood poisoning from vaccination, has
often made the moan: "What would a
scarred face be to me beside this long-drawn-out
agony? At least, I would be
well and able to get around and find
some pleasure In life. It might not be so
agreeable to others to look at me, but
they are not living my life. I have to do
that."
There are people who truly believe It
right to vaccinate a child, and all honor
to them for living consistently. But my;
belief Is the other way. Ani I not to be'
allowed to live according to my belief?
Who. gave 'them the authority to force
their methods upon me? It Is not only
a question of my child's health, but or
my own freedom. I would like to hear
something on this subject from other
parents who feel as I do about it. And 1
would like to know what will be the re
sult of refusal of the parent to comply
with the board's demand. R. H.'jti..
The result of refusal to comply with the
board's demand would probably be dis
missal of the child from the schools.
It Is possibly open to question whether
the School. Board Is not close to" the,
limits of Its legal authority In this mat
ter; but that is a legal problem, and to
determine It might prove more trouble
some and expensive than any objecting
parent would desire. Meanwhile, the board
has unquestioned authority over the
schools, and may make regulations for
their government, and prescribe who shall
and who shall n6t be eligible to admission-
Many parents have conscientious
scruples against vaccination; but it
woujd seem- that thereyis nd present rem
edy as long as the Schodl Board is de
termined to make no exceptions wnatever.
Doubtless -the -Directors feel that they
would like t& aocede- to the requests ot
the few parents who desire their Children

the fact, howeveh that' In one of. twd
neighboring cities-Seattle, for example
the requirement Of vaccination Is modi

not know their business as well as the
Dlrect6rs here. Or possibly they simply
do not 'agree with the Portland School
Board In Its position that there Js no such.

NEW TORK, Oct. .One of those ex
amined by Supreme Court Commis
sioner Trimble in tho course of the Inves
tigation Into the alleged anarchistic plots
in Paterson, N. J., which resulted, it Is
charged, In King Humbert's death, has
been B. Mazottl, who is reputed to be
usually the secretary of anarchists' meet
ings in that city. When Questiouea as to
his testimony, he eald:
MI told the Commissioner that there
were several anarchist organizations in
Paterson, but they were divided on the
question of killing the heads of govern
ments, although as a rule they do not
question the killing of Kings as a matter
of policy. The purpose of our organiza
tion is to advocate the abolition of all
government restriction and the substitu
tlon of Individual liberty.
"When it comes to a matter of killing
a ruler, we are divided; some approve of
it, and some do not, because it Is likely
to throw discredit on us and our work.
If an anarchist kills a King, he does so
of his own volition, and this I believe
was done In the case of King Humbert.
I knew Brescl well, but I know of no
plot being hatched here by him or any
one else to kill Humbert."

Over SO years old, Queen Victoria yet

treated Her Majesty's scalp with a

has always kept secret. It is now

embodied In Newbro's Herp.clde, the on
