SHAKESPEARE A® VILLAGE FOLLIES BUCK EACH OTHER Dave Marion's Show and ‘Kandy Kids 1 Due Here, ’ 1 1 MONG the near closing events A erf the regular legitimate season here are David Warfield in "The Merchant of Venice,” and "The Greenwich Village Follies,” with Gallagher and Shean. Both openings are on next Thursday night. Warfield will be at English's and t£e Follies at the Murat. David Warfield’s appearance as Shylock at English's on Thursday night will reveal the realization of the ambition that has nobly inspired and guided him to successive higher attainments since the beginning of his career. In all the years of his artistic growth there nevter has been a time in which to impersonate this most exacting of all Shakespear's characters was not his goal. Therefore he has come to Shylock by no royal road. To him "The Merchant of Venice” does not represent an expedient or a commonplace addition to a famous actor’s repertoryRather his characterization of Shylock is to be considered as the sum of twenty years' ceaseless study. From the beginning of his long association with David Belasco, it was understood that eventually Warfield was to be presented as Shylock with an environment, both as to cast and physical accessories, that would make his introduction in the classic drama memorable in the annals ofjthe stage, and to this end these two great artists have never ceased to plan and toil until the consummation of last season when Warfield's interpretation so won the public that the New York run of the Belasco production was nearly double that of any previous record for consecutive performances
