ACTOR FREE SCORES TRIUMPH

Produced “Henry the Eighth” on New - Lines in London. London. Sept. 2. Realing that Shakespear’s “King Henry the Eighth” is more of a pageant than a drama. Sir Beerbolm Tree produced it on those lines at His Majesty’s theater and scored one of the greatest scenic triumphs of his career. From first to last it was a ript of gorgeous splendor and the spectators were so delighted with it thaf even inferior acting would have passed almost unnoticed. As it was the histronic side of the performance, if not equal to its sthge craft, was on the whole satisfying.
