DAY CHAUTAUQUA
APPRECIATIVE AUDIENCE FOR
TWO OF SEASONS BEST AT
TRACTIONS YESTERDAY. |
A proper appreciation of William
Shakespeare and his works as a
prime requisite to understand life
and its v.arying modes and passions,
and to appreciate the finer things!
that make for happiness, was empha-‘
sized by Dr. Lester M. Stearns, notedi
Shakespeareian scholar, at the Tues-]
day afternoon session of the Redpath!
Chautauqua.
In opening his lecture, Stearns
staed that Shakespeare has been
much misunderstood by the rank and
file op the people, and that for gen-|
erations he has been looked upon as
a companion and literary guide onlyi
for the so called intellectuals and
high brows. This is an erroneous ideal
dcclared Stearns, who proceeded i:ol
show that Shakespeare was the greati
delineator of all human character
and that he could be as easily un-l
derstood by the humble laborer as
by the scholar, the bhilosopher or thel
statesman. I
What man secks in life is happi--l
nessness, said the speaker. All his
desires are created and accentuated
by this one thought—to attain hap-!
piness that will be lasting. But hap-‘
piness can only come through one'
channel—by cultivating a mental and|
spiritual acquaintanéeship with the!
best things in life, such qualities as
love, friendship, tolerances. o~ will,’
companionship with the best men
and women—all these make for hap
piness. But probably the most cndur-’
ing incentive to happiness may be
found in the realms of art and lit-i
erature, and here it is where com-|
panionship with Shakespeare opens a|
new world and a wonderous realm‘
that can be appreciated by all man-|
kind.
Stearns declared that the great
ness of Shakespeare is founded on|
the fact that he delineated human{
characters as it really was, that he|
shunned all artificialities, and show-!
ed the desires of his characters clear|
ly and unmistakably so that their ac-[
jions make an idelible impression,
upon the spectator. l
To prove that Shakespeare holds
plenty of thrills and gives actions
that make even the swiftest modern-l
ist casp, the speaker gave the fo-l
rum scene from Julius Caesar, 'sho“'-I
ing the dramatic nature of the act!
and holding the audience spellbound;
as he truthfully portrayed the mob}
scene the scene of Brutus, and the[
«cloquent answer by Mark Antony, inl
his celebrated “aration over Caesar’s;
body.” i
The Colonial Harp Ensemble Com
pany, composed ‘of five charming
young ladies, furnished a delightful
half hour’s prelude at the afternoon
meeting, and in the evening occupied
the entire period with fche presenta
tion of an original production en
titled the Shepheres Dream. The|
story had an ancient Greek setting|
and the young ladies appeared in
costumes of a bygone day. Miss Lou
ella Fiertag, the soprano soloist with
the party, sang the solo parts and
was assisted in the various choruses
by the other members of the troupe.
The harp music was featured ex-
