Bom two years ago there ap peared at the American theatre a Ylddlah actor, Mr. Jacob P. Adler.

' Everything was against him, on his first, trial. The - play was "Th Mer chant of Venice," a play which- has come down with the tradition of great actors. Mr. Adler, not being sufficient ly converssnt with . English, waa forced to ue Yiddish,-- while- his company spoke English. ' Th Incongruity wa intensified, when It came to th phrasv Ing of Shakespearean vera Into Yid dish of a colloquial character, certain words having absorbed a alangy famil iarity, bound to conduce laughter.- Neither waa Mr. Adler a young man. Ha wa 48 at the time. He had no great in ternational reputation to back him. Hla company wse mediocre. .The produqtloh was at first regarded as something akin to incuriosity.
