America’s forc- most tragedlan. will be seen Christ- mas night at the Stamford Theatre in l-"1‘he Merchant of Venice." 0n the next day. Saturday matinee he will be seen in Hamlet. and Saiur— day night as Macbeth. After consid- ering his repertoire carefully Mr. Mantcll decided that "The Merchant or Venice" -was his happiest play for a Christmas day offering. While the play holds a great moral tragedy in the impersonation of Shylock, yet it is without violent physical features and taken as a whole the drama ends happily for all even the much abused Sh'ylock managing to escape ea‘isily in consideration at the times in which he lived. In addition there is a charming love story in “The Merchant of Venice" which is widely recognized by the fcmlnine element. It is said that the Merchant of Ven- ice has been presented more times - than any other. drums ever written. it being estimated that it has drawn in excess of $35. 000 000 into the cot.

He gives to this persecuted medlleval charac. ter all the grandeur ol‘ a long and unjustly persecuted race and whllo he sacrifices none of thc rmengefui chriructeristlcs of Shyilock yet Mr. Mantel! by his keen rendition of lines, envelopes the character with an atmosphere that compels the sympathy of audience.

' Mr. Mantcll is being assisted this sason by Miss Genevieve Rampant: young" and beautiful actress, whose work has been highly praised over the country. She will be seen as Portia in the Merchant of Venice. and as Ophelia in Hamlet. Miss Hamper has received unusually strong press notices for her imper- sonation of Ophelia. Mp.

The» stage pictures have been a matter of comment wherever he has offered any part of his repertoire.’ There. are selient'cen musical mum- hers in' the big musical comedy "The Queen of the Movies" which will be the attraction at the Stam- ford Theatre on December 28. and those graceful melodies are by Jean Gilbert, Whose latest successes in Berlin are "Puppchcll." “Das‘AutO- llebchen." etc. A company of eighty- five people no required to present this delightful musical corn- edy. which ran for six: months at the Globe Theatre, New York, and after- wards duplicated its Isuccess in ‘Bosv ton and Chicago.
