MeClutehy, thu tal ented editor of Unit paper, in part as follows : "Hearty wn the luunlelasp of Sir John Foibes KobertMin as we met in the Hotel Stockton Yesterday uftt r iioon, and ohnrminul" interesting his talk for considerably over an hour in bis room after lunch. The actor is the lean greyhound of the stii;;e. His face has the leanness of the absorbent student, of the thoughtful delvcr, of the. conscien tious worker in the higher fields of intellectuality. There is no spare flesh upon it. It is a charming faco n soulful face u face tlinl grows upon you -that magucti.cs you. Alike Student and tteiitlenuin No innu can be with Foibes Itoli ertson cvcli for a brief peiiod and not recognize that the man is one of dominant intellect, of keen vision, of spiritual force; a man who is. every inch nlike the student and the gentle man nn actor without strut, seem ingly without vanity; soft-spoken and modest in his speech, although keenly incisive; and at all times thor oughly frank and delightful. As he rambled along from subject to subject in well-chosen Knglish, I could not but think bow different he wns in his simple naturalness and unnffeetediiess from the portrait painted by Oliver (loldsmith of the tfrcat (larrick. On the stage he was simple, natural, nffeelmg; 'Twus only that when he. was off ho was acting. ' An Illuminative Accompaniment "From grave to gay, from lively to severe," the Forbes Robertson com ments marched and countermarched along the pathway of bis ideas. The questions addressed to him were put through analytic and illum inative processes in his answers, and came out in limpid, clear-cut and de lightfully welcome Knglish. And the faco was as expressive as the voice; an illuminative accompan iment that more than onco caught me so strongly that really I coifess, as J am writing, that here and there I do not lenieniber his particular words half as vividly as tho interpretative expressions that played over his mo bile countenance. The Maronlnii Theory Wns Shakespeare Hncnn? evident ly is a periodical spasm of crypto grammatie exploitation with which the tragedian has no patience. To him it is inconccivuhlo that tin con could haw wr.tten Shnkesnean Win'" the lawyer never could have been lis Movcnly as the Hard of Avon was more than once, neither could In1 have approached his poetic heights. The examples of Haeon's poetry we have prove that. Tho Keynote to llainlot. Forbes Hohertson does not believe Shakespeare intended Hamlet to be either insane or hnlf-liisnno. The keynote to Hamlet's character is con tained in these words of Hamlet to Oiiihleithteiii in the. second eeuo of the second act: "I mn but mad nuflh-iiortliwost; when tho wind is southerly I know a hawk from n handsaw." The terrible disclosure by his fath er's ghost was enough to have unset tled any latin's reason, hut Hamlet's was a philosophic mind, which was hjow to net, and it did not go the way that madness lies. At this point the actor diverged to state that undoubtedly -uluit Shako s tea re intended to write, and prob ably did wiitc in the above quotation us coming front tho mouth of Hamlet, was that he knew tv hawk from a homslutw- -ii small heron, well known to all the country lads in Shake frponie's county nnd in adjoining counties. Sliakcspcam Meant for the Stago Shakesponro wn mount eminently and primarily for the stage, and for no other puipose. The plays wore written by an netor and a master of stagecraft, to he noted. Shnkot-ponte U not ambiguous or ilnfk. Outside of here nnd tlioro vague and disputed phrases or sontunoos or word,, the immortal hand is clear nui! lucid.

Vlml t JpiV&vpa. & IftH HtVHHHftJL&rC $ &7. i. it ?vWaBVaHKfl The role of F.linor Shale iu the big ' Henry Arthur Joihm plnj, "The Lie," I which Margaret Illington presents nt the Fage tonight, is generally con- j ceded to be the best pnit that Misij Illington has ever played. Jliss lll-j ington finished last .luuu nt the Har ris theater, New York City, n run of' an entire year, and is at present with ( her New York cast aud nroduction milking n comprehensive tour of the I country. Any contribution made by Mr. Jones to the literature of thu stage is always interesting, for he is one of Fnglnnd's three most distin guished playwrights, and "The I.io" is said to he intense from beginning so niiioh tlint he is not in every plnco or every page as plain ns can be, but that he is so remarkably plain nearly everywhere. C.'ood Actors Itest IMuralois According to Forbest Hohertson Actors thoroughly appreciating Shakespeare and capable! of inter preting him luminously to nn intelli gent audience, are the best Shake spearean eduentos. They will give a betler idea iu one pciTonuniiec of the ehiirnctcr of Hamlet, for instance, tluiii the stu dent could obtain from poring over page nfler page of di-puting eout mentutoiv. Shnkctfpcuro intended to be plain and simple nnd direct. Ho wrote playv with the pen of a marvelous student of human nature, n wonder ful interpreter of till the passions and all tho emotions- of the human heart. No I'eohlcui llmnialLst The curl of Avon never intended his plays to be deep wells of philo sophic teaching, or of philokophio or nny other problems. He simply Avroto not only for tho mere pleasure of writing, but us n matter of bus'incs. He wrote because he could not help writing; nnd it is nil itonsonso to claim, ns ho many commeutittorH do, that he had in each play some deep laid plan of tcachinf some great moral lou or tupping some deep vein of philosophic inquiry. As to the scholarship of Shake speare, be had moie than tin average learning for those days. The .Moilcsund the Unmui The knighted actor of Kngland does not believe the ninnc will prove n detriment to the jlramn, hut rather, in the long run, an aid. They will probably never be used with micc'Ch in interpreting the Shakospeaiean piny. For who, for instance, could interpret, without words the "To be or not to be" tml iloquy of Hamlet. Shnkosiicaro will ever remain an author who numt he pokon to bo ap preciated. He will nover bo ado quatoly, or iu nny proper way, repre sented iu tho movie. The Condition of tho Stngo Upon tho ever-rectirninr question ns to whether the stage lias improved or totroicrnded, the view wns held that on the whole it has vntly un proved. Th aiovouly work of other day would not he iwnuittftl by any eorapoleut manager anywhere to4ay.

Hat thwM ro LIE," AT THE PAGE TONIGHT to end. .Margaret llliuglon has long been recognized ns the "oremost act ress in America in the delineation of emotional parts, and she is said to handle this role with a sweep nnd un derstanding that entitles the part to a niche iu her repcrtoriat hall of fame. "The Lie" concerns two sisters, one a sweet, modest girl, extremely honest, while the other is a grasping, cheating, lying thing, lty telling a most horrible lie she wins her sister's lover to herself. For n short time it would appear that she has gained ev erything, but lies lire difficult to keep down, nnd when the truth comes out, as it finally does, tho elder sister's anger and resentment tiro supuib. - !
