HAMPDEN’S SHYLOCK WINS RESPECT And Sympathy When Others Have Failed in This
In spending my second evening with Mr. Walter Hampden at the Murat last night In witnessing his work as Shylock la "The Merchant of Venice,” it was apparent that the American stage has in Mr. Hampden a student of Shakespeare who can be relied upon to give Intelligent and beautiful presentations of the plays of the bard* It Is a pleasing

which radiates the pride of race and even religion through his veins. His Shylock is a tragic figure—so much so that at times the audience aids in carrying the burden of the merchant. The pattern which Mr. Hampden follows in designing his Shylock has not been used by other players of the part. He has studied the text—he appears to have turned the pages of the play in an intelligent and honest way to get at the veryyheart of hN character. His love of race and religion causes Mr. Hampden's Shylock tc turn loose the wrath of a storm on the circumstances which caused his daughter, Jessica, to run away with Lorenzo. In this scene of discovery of the act of his daughtetr, Mr. Hampden’s Shylock mounts to the highest dramatic plane. The controlled passion of ages sweeps across the stage until it roeks Saylock's very being, sweeping him before the court demanding his pound of flesh nearest the heart of Antonio. He demands to receive justice, that which the law gives and the court must allow. Antonio and his friends beg for mercy, but when the tables are turned Shylock begs for the same mercy. His life being spared, he limps out of the courtroom —a man wrecked In body and soul. Hampden’s Shylock abides by the decree of the court. Ills Shylock picks up the burden of his ancestors and carries the load back to his deserted and wrecked home. Juet as hlB Hamlet was a living thng, so is his Shylock. Mr. Hampden's greatest victory appears to be his ability in putting a heart and a living soul in the characters of Shakespeare. That is indeed a worthy triumph. As magnificent as are the spoken words of Mr. Hampden in the Shylock role, as truly marvelous Is his facial makeup. He makes the face of Shylock a sort of a mirror In which the sufferings, hopes, passions and loves of his people are reflected. His Shylock is one which commands and receives admiration. I am very fond of Mary Hall's Portia—a very womanly and intelligent Portia. A Portia who is not too masculine or burlesqued In the court scene, but one of sufficient strength to command respect as a learned lawyer and yet posf casing--the true feminine tenderness. u the version used by Mr. Hampden, Portia has been given due prominence. Elsie Herndon Kearns was satisfactory

as Nerlssn, watting maid to Portia. In fact, a delightful companion to Portia. Again, Allen Thomas demonstrated he is a splendid actor by playing the roles of and the Duke of Venice. It is my impression that Le Roi Operti slightly overclowns his Launcelot Gobbo, the clown, and In the same sentence I am not ready to admit that this is a fault. The remainder of the cast was capable. Mr. Hampden and his company will be seen tonight at the Murat in "The Taming of the Shrew.” W. D. 11. -I- :1- -I* FATTY OWNS A LAUNDRY IN HIS LATEST MOVIE. Succeeding "The Faith Healer” at the Isis today comes Roscoe Arbuckle In anew comedy. ‘‘The Dollar-a-Year Man.” He is cast as Franklin Pinney, a wealthy laundry owner who happens to be the only plebian member of an exclusive yachting club. The club is about to entertain a visiting prince, and, fearing that Pinney will disgrace them by manifesting undue familiarity with the royal guest, the members lay a plot to get rid of the laundryman during the reception. Unlooked-for developments, however, give Pinney an opi>ortunlty to use his talents as an amateur detective and he succeeds In rescuing the prince from a band of anarchists who have planned to kidnap him. Finney's feat puts him in the limelight as a hero and also places him on terms of intimacy with tha prince in a way that arouser the envy of the* “blue bloods” and causes no end of fun. The supporting cast includes Lila Lee, ,T. M. Dumont and Winifred Greenwood. Janet Adler’s syncopated orchestra of girls, singers and instrumentalists will furnish musical diversion. . -I- -i- -I----ON VIEW TODAY.
