Wu Pei Fus was killed in action near Machang.
1 The followers here of Wu Pei Fus said that the report was

here discredited the report, but started an investigation.

near Machang, on the railroad
south of Tientsin, to take person

Late reports are to the effect
that Chang Tso-Lin is heavily
reinforcing his trocps in that, re
gion, with men of 11 arms and in
dications are that Machang will
soon be the center of Intense
fighting. Artillery duels have
commenced over a wide front.
Genera: 'Wu, if he actually
takes command there, will have
facing him the 25-yesr-old son ct
Chang Tso-Lin. Foreign military
observers with the Chinese forces
report that Wu Pei-Fu recently
has been directing the operations
at Changslnthien tn an endeavor
to get good results out of General
Tsao-Kun's poor troops, pending
the arrival of General Feng Yut

around to the merchants of Salem
yesterday, to ask for merchandise
for the Cherrlngo fish pond and

"Sure, 111 give! Here's this

SHAKESPEARE'S PLAY
PROVIDES VEHICLE
Various Characters Provide
Good Support for Artist,
Audience Small
(By CHARLES LISLE)
If the ninety million Americaus
who profess to be offended to the
soul at the salacious stories of the
movie colonies, and at the liber
tine comedies and society plays
that reek with suggestive filth,
could but get one whiff of Hamlet
as it was presented last night at
the Grand by Walter Hampden,
they would do justifiably what
the false king, Claudius did so
feloniously they'd poison the
dagger and the drinking cup and
the ticket-sellers of the lewd
stuff, and let virtue triumph if
there was any of it left after such
a wholesale killing.
Drama Compared
Hamlet Is a grewsome tragedy,
with practically everybody of im
portance dead in the last act, and
most of these did not deserve it.
But what joy It would be to see
some ot those iridescent Hamlet ic
swords and those huge vitriolic
brass flagons lull ot poison, fed to
some of the putrescent' stuff that
has grown up like weeds In the
path of clean drama!
Such a Hamlet as Walter Hamp
den would film marvelously; it
Isn't In anything but the choice of
subjects that either the spoken
or the silver-screen drama fails.
If only they could put into the
screen, those gradations of voice,
those subtle touches of thought
that a tone can give! When this
is accomplished, then the lasciv
ious movie iB doomed and they'll
pay real prices for the privilege
of seeing the good.
Not Understood
Most people have" "read"
Shakespeare; they know its phy
sical appearance on the page.
They read it oft in pentameter, a
five-footed, mechanical sing-song
that move with clock-work rythm
or rather monotony! They "don't
like it!" Indeed, why should
they, as it is too usually read in
the mind's eye? But as Hampden
reads It, it is like music; now
swift and tripping, now shrill and
passionate, now sombre, now se
pulchral; now dying by Inches as
does Hamlet himself in the last
act; and now swelling gloriously
in love and triumph. The human
voice Is the most wonderful in
strument in alt the realm of mu
sic; Hampden is a super-artist in
the realm of speech.
Artistry Impresses
Hampden is more than an art
1st with a voice; he has the soul
of expression in every move he
makes on the stage.. It does not
seem a "part"; he presents actual,
palpitating life. In Hamlet's case,
it is a mad, disordered, distraught
life but how real it is! One al
most goes mad with him in his
presentation.
The suonortine company is
good. ' The grave-digger's had a
common Irrigating factory shovel
instead of a 16th century digger;
and Hamlet's ghostly father, de
clared to be armed to the teeth
and the toenails, was instead clad
only in a tin helmet and a ghost
ly robe, with neither armor nor
evan greaves nor gauntlets. He
was "the bunk" for an armed
kingly warrior; though his voice
was good, and he mercifully did
not squeak when he walked. Only
a crab would pick on these grotes
queries or a genius, like the
Shakespeare wiho Introduced the
jovial grave-digger jesters into
the scene, to have them laughed
at as they .shoveled the bones out
of the-grave they were preparing
for Ophelia. Maybe it ehduldn't
all be too solemn.
Hard to Love.
There are few characters in the
play that one really comes to- love.
The gallant Laertes and the fair
Ophelia, children of the squeaky,
soapy old Polonlus, are about the
most lovable. And indeed, these
two parts were "admirably pre
sen ted. The mad scene with
Ophelia, is a fine presentation;
and so was the fight between Ham
let and Laertes in Ophelia's grave.
That Laertes should have a part
in a plot to use poison for his
friennd Hamlet, 'is the' greatest
moral flaw in the play, according
