JULIA MAhnoWB AS tADY MACXKTH. l’ack.v McFarland, the Chicago light weight. is to take a trip across the big point to tackle Freddie Xx'elf’h, holder of the English title. Hugh McIntosh, the Australian promoter, who recently opened a club in London, lias landed the match and wants to stage the bat tie Feb. 9. Recently the pair met in Londou, and the battle was culled a draw. Many experts nt the ringside clalnie^that the decision should have been given to the American. Since then the Chicago lightweight has been anxious for a return match, and now that it lias been granted McFarland Is more than pleased. As the boys are bitter enemies now the coming battle should result in one of the best ever held in London. Career of Daly, Billiard Champion. Johq W. Only, the present holder of the three cushion billiard champion ship. Is forty two years old tuul was born in Utica. N. Y. In 1893 he first came into prominence, when he won the professional pool championship at the Chicago W orld's Fair. In that tournament nil the leading players except lie Oro competed. In. 1907 he finished second to Harry Cline at St. Louis in the three cushion chant pionship tourney and later challenged and defeated him Tom Hueston took the title away from him. the for mer in turn losing it to De Oro. Daly Is playing so strong n game at present that there are many who expect him to hold the title for a long time. Jockey Bell Clever Horse Pilot. Jockey Tinker Bell, who is a sensa tion at Jacksonville, Fi:i . was picked till In Canada by Hugh Penny lust sea Son. Bell had been ail exercise boy for 11. G. Bedwell, but never had re ceived a chance to show bls skill. Penny, once a star jockey himself, couched the youngster carefully and gradually developed him. Today Bell rides as Will ill long distance races as he does in the sprints. He has good ham’s, a cool head and knows bow to make sulky horses run. Above all. he is as quick us a flash at tlie post and always takes the shortest route to the Wile Bell will ride In Germany next year if certain negotiations go through There has been a revival this season of that powerful, will'd and luteuse Slml.i. ~qe irean play "Macbeth.” it is a question which character in thi- pi ty. cb. th or Lady Macbeth, re quires the greater study. Lnd; .Mac beth has been Impersonated by as many eminent women as the other •liaracter has been by emlaeat men. and this season Julia -Marlowe and .-otheiii ar.' having great success with the roles. Although Mi-s .Marlowe is ¡mt great iu the character, she disap pointed some of the croakers in her interpretation of Lady Macbeth. She sustained the trying part well, but In tragic intensity and imperiousness of will lie did not compare or even ap proach Charlotte Cushman, who is thought Io some to have been the greatest Lady .Muctieth of her time. If thi- be true then Miss Marlowe has fallen below Jamiuschek, Modjeska, Ristori, Genevieve Ward, Ellen Terry and Chita Morris. But possibly she surpassed the most recent Lady Mac beth seen in New York Marie Booth Bussell, wife of Robert Mautell, who played Macbeth. Of course in speaking of Lady Mac beth one must always think of the In ompiiruble Slddous. None ever ap proached her. It will be recalled by re-ent playgoers that Mrs. Patrick Campbell was the Lady Macbeth to Forbes Robertson's Macbeth a few years ago. The last great Lady Mac beth was Charlotte Cushman. The tragedy was given on the occasion of her farewell appearance iu this couu try. There may be some living who saw Charlotte Cushman hi the part in New Orleans. She wa- a mere girl when she played It then. The first "Macbeth” seen in New York city was produced at the old John Street theater. Lady Macbeth, according to Miss Marlowe's conception, spurs her hus band on to the blackest of treason I and the foulest of murders and then strives to atone by guarding, guiding and consoling him. Shakespearean scholars assert that thin I not warranted by the text Nevertheless Miss Marlowe succeeded in making her conception of the char acter plausible uml at times highly pathetic.
