Surely she must maintain the tradi

were true that the skin on his fingers

Jimmy Valentine pulled manfully at

The door leading from his office

"Guess so: never failed on a lock

Valentine was desperate at the delay.
"He's gone to a here he Is!" cried
Bed as he heard hurrying footsteps in
the assistant cashier's office. Red
jumped to his feet and out into Val
entine's room. He seized the roll of
sandpaper from the messenger's
hands.
"What are you going to do with it?"
isked the Inquisitive clerk.
Red shoved him away and darted
bark toward the vault room.
"None of your business," he cried,
"and keep out of here."
"Give It here. What is It?" exclaim
ed Valentine as Red run to him.
"No. 4."
"That's best, is the bank empty?"
"Yes. thank Ood. Mr. I.ane has

"Slml up!" cried Valentine nervous

VVARDE THE
GREATEST
OF OLD STARS
' c
A. ACTOR WHO HAS DEVOTED A
LIFE TO .THE ,STUDr OF
SHAKESPEARE'S CHARACTERS,
TO INTERPRET JULIUS CAESAR
SATURDAY NIGHT.
Gazing into the distant theatrical
horizon, no new starslare to be dis
covered that, is, stars, belonging to
the bright galaxy of Shakespeare.
It Is necessary, therefore, to welcome
j the old ones. They deserve the bril
liance that continual shining has
made possible. One of the brightest
of these Is Frederick Warde, who pre
sented a splendid revival of "Julius
Ceasar'' at the Lyceum theatre last
night. .
Frederick Warde left the stage
for a brief while, not to abandon his
career nor the classic drama, but to
bring before the people fnam the lec
ture rostrum the wonderful charac
ters he has so admirably portrayed.
Today Ellen Terry, in New York
Is living among her Shakespearean
heroines. Each an actual breathing
personage, stepping from the pages
of the play to receive life and blood
and breath from her magnetic per
sonality. So it was with' Frederick Warde.
He talked with the heroes of the
poet, talked of them and gave voice
to their mighty utterances.
But the theatre needed him. One
by one the great players have been
gathered to that final world beyond
the curtain. It seems that the class
ical Inspiration has departed from
them. It rests with such scholars as
Warde to keep burning the spark of
genius to tell us that in the pas-t
there was a better and brighter
day.
Frederick has played many parts.
He has given life to many of the
heroes of Shakespeare. When last
seen in "Julius Ceasar" here, -he
played Hare Antony. Last night he
was the noble Brutus and revived all
of the past, Its memories, its tradi
tions, its histrionic associations. He
Is the one hope of the stage In the
futur.e.
Frederick Warde has always been
a scholar. Perhaps he Is too Intense,
but to those who last night followed
the heroic reading of the masterful
lines which fall to Brutus thetre was
nothing lacking to make the imper
sonation perfect.
In this day, when people cheaply
pleased are being lured from real
merit in the drama to pernicious and
perverted plays, It Is a merciful god
send to the real lovers of the drama
to find a player with the 011 rage of
his convictions, who faces the on
sweeping wave of tawdry inconsis
x t
r '
-.,J
tency in the theatre and upholds
high standards and high Ideals be
cause they are noble and beautiful
and beneficent.
It is to Frederick Warda we
must look in tbe theatrical horizon.
1 for he is a star whoso brightness Is
undlmmed, whose brilliancy gTew
clearer and more luminous as the
j years advanced. Brutus with him
is but a reproduction of a man in
his mind.
So close in touch is hA with the
hero of Shakespeare that one and
all become with him an intimate
friend and associate. He ceases to
be Frederick Warde. He becomes
the role he plays, a breathing pul
sating, passionate man, to tell his
story as he might tell it In actual
life. This is why the acting of Fred
erick Warde appeals to every lover
of Shakespeare. Familiar quotations
come back to us as if they were
read but yesterday. There Is lacking
that plethora ( gestures which so
many of our younger players have.
There is in what he does an intense
dignity, a mighty feeling, a sympathy
that penetrates even the scenes of
dispute.
It was a pleasure to greet Mr.
Warde last night, and it is no won
der that the audience, tpontaneous in
Its expression of delight and approv
al, called for a Bpeech from the ac
tor. Nor was It possible for Mr.
Warde to deny the demand. In a few
selected sentences he thanked the
people present, for it carried to his
heart the grateful knowledge that
there still remain men and women
who love art for art's sake, andi not
for ulterior motives. Memphis Com

Please Read These Two Letters.
The following letter from Mrs.Orville Rock will prove how unwise
it is for women to submit to the dangers of a surgical operatioa when it
may be avoided by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
She was four weeks in the hospital and came home suffering
worse than before. Then after all that Buffering Lydia K Pink

"There never
Rockport, Ind. u There never was a worse case of woman's
His than mine, and I cannot bein to tell you what I suffered.
For over two years I was not able to do anything. I was in bed
for a month and the doctor said nothing but an operation would
cure me. My father suggested Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound; so to please him I took it, and I improved wonder
fully, so 1 am able to travel, ride horseback, take long rides and.
never feel any ill effects from it. I can only ask other suffering
women to give Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial
before submitting to an operation." Mrs. Margaret Meredith,
It. F. D. No. 3, Rockport, Ind.
"We will pay a handsome reward to any person who will prove to
us that these letters are not genuine and truthful or that either of
these women were paid in any way for their testimonials, or that the
letters are published without their permission, or that the original
letter from each did not coma to us entirely unsolicited.
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman does Justice to
herself who will not try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and
