Have pen-wipers, inkstands plenty, pa

That I've Browning and Longfellow by
the hundreds—every kind.
8hakespoare—black and blue and yel

So there’s Just one present only that
I’m wanting, In this year
Of my bachelorship so lonely—that's

“You sv«*. none of It Is conventional
stage property,” he said to me as he
glan.ed proudly over the stage, on
which but a fe*v moments before the
“Doctour" had declaimed the great
mor..l tau r '.h by “Everyman.” “Even
the little things are truly a part of the
artistic whole.. This atool, for Instance,
on which t’n priest sits when 'Every
man' .make*, confession, Is one I fo
In Llmerlc!^ after, starching diligently
for Just the thing that would fit. The
book In which ’Everyman's’ reckoning
Is made Is copied from one which may
be seen In the Bodleglan library at Ox
ford."
And when I took the volume In my
hands, there, verily, was Just such
parchment, such old, yellow parch
nient, as A\lam might have kept hla
diary on. Even tho orange trees are
real—thi^t which you never hofred to
see outside of Florida or Paradise.
Mr. Greet believes In the theater for
children. “This,” he said, “Is my gos
pel. I haVe found that children nr*»
moNt wonderfully appreciative
Shakespeare, and I believe that. they
should be sent to see It whenever op
portunity affords. Why, It gives them
a bnsis for culture, nnd formulates
their taste In these things as nothing
else can." In speaking of the numbers
of school children In the East who have
attended the performances of “Every
man" and the Ellxubethun presenta
tions of Hhakespeare, Mr. Greet re
marked: "I believe that this In the
surefct slgff of educational progress.
When the curriculum of a school em
braces the best that conies along In th*
ay of drama and art nnd music, when
these things come to be considered as

then, we are getting along." #
Asked what had Influenced him to
make such radical departure from con
ventional presentations, and to create
for himself a place so unique In the
theatrical world. .Mr. Greet only soldi
T was nearly thirty before I became
imbued with a desire to do these thtnqs
differently. I had been for smite time
on the stage, and It seemed to me that
I was vegetating Instead of developing.
So I became my own manager, and—
that Is all there Is to It.” But, of
course, there Is much more, though
Mr. Greet himself would be the last
person to tell it to you.
One may summarise his work hy
saying that his art Is perfect nature,
feel that we must live the lesson It
teaches, because It has made its ap
peal. not more as a wonderful piece of
art thnn as a human truth. 8. A.
