Tbe dlacn—low ■ wabnd up In a mus- cular bout, beeauae'the Judgres, inspired by gallantry, gave the decision to the champions of the ladles. So the gpreat question is still unaffected by any ac- tion of the Fox Run Debating Club. John Griffith, the well-known tra- gedian of the west, presented Macbeth at 'the local theatre that week. The question which had caused civil strife at Fox Run was propounded to the actor. Mr. Griffith smiled as he re- plied:. "Ah! Ton are hunting trouble for me. I'd much rather be Judge in a prize baby show than answer that question. But I have noticed this," Mr. GrifRtb went on. "That the part of ICe- phlsto in Faust seems to possess a re- markable fascination for young women. I presented the character for seven years, during which time I was honored with many 'soft.' perfumed notes from prettv misses, some of whom begged for Mephlsto's long, sinister plume or feather, for a souvenir. I had a Faust with me who was a ten times better looking fellow than I am. and gifted with all the gentle graces of a polished gentleman, but they 'passed him up* without consideration; he never re- ceived any love notes; they didn't point their Angers at his manly form as he strolled up and down the street They wl ffn^ - the bad man who had made 'so nnieh misery for the lovers, and who tried to make all good plans go awry.

He laughs to scorn the curses of the. spirits of his mur- dered kin. and fiercely seeks on Bos- worth field the leader of the enemy's force, the Earl of Richmond— " 'Fight, gentlemen of England: flght, bold yeo- men!

"There are many interesting features in comparing Shakespeare's two most noted criminals. It takes'maali?lM*aer work to play Macbeth' than :1tte1iard rn. The greatest Macbeth that ever lived -was Charles Macready, an Bng- IlRh actor. He presented the analytl- cnl character: Forrest, the physical and Booth, the supernatural- Macready was the master- He and Forrest were playing Macbeth in New York In 1848 at the same time, and so demonstrative became the rivalry of their supports that it waa finally terminated In a great riot, and troops were called out to quell the disturbance. "Charlotte Cushman was admittedly the finest L.ady Macbeth of her time. It Is stated she tried in every way to Indue* Forrest to pisy with her. but he always dodged the issue. He dreaded the possible diminution of his laurels by contrast with the wonderful woman. It was said." "Why is It that of recent years the playing of Shakespeare seems to liav* . gone out of fashion?" Mr. Grlfflth was asked. "Since the passing away of Barrett. Booth and McCuUough, an effort aeems to bav^ been made to push the -woric ot later playwrights to the fore, and the Shakespeuian dramas were allowed to rest awhile; not because the people were ttrcdvotifbam.'bnt Cor the reason that the iieist genimtlon liad seen them presented by the moat eminent of the world's tragedians, and. naturally, was willlns to turn its attention to some- thillCtfaK''8Bt>IIOW, after fifteen years, we are W'tbe eve of a great revival of Shakespeare.
