W hile- finding the entire performance delightful we think that the histrionic efforts of Mr Skinner in the difficult lole of Shylock was especially flawless. In every way he was a suitable Shylock. ,v The same, however can pot be said of Miss Adair .s. Although her portrayal was far beyond that fn be exn'ei te.i of'ore of her advanced veni s in lh. role of Tortia: neither her visage nor her physique was of sufficient appropriateness to render intelligible to the Shaksperian student what Shakspero driving at in. drawing this-nmst immtrtant ?-har? ITter >1 nkspere intended .that Portia ?Ua young womAp of great beauty, sought after by the princes of the world for that beauty plus-^all the other graces that go to make- up the charms of womanhood. We weie. disappointed in Tortia. but Miss Adams is without question a great he tress. It i? remarkable that she flayed the role as well a? she did. The Merchant of Venice-is of interest to us because of the treatment of racial prejudice that is to be found running1 through it. The' victims of prejudi.e fn -it aie the Jews Shylock-represents the cause of this despised people. He is a money lender and a hard task master when his borrowers fail to m<?et their obligations. The Christians deride and despise him for his wilv practices. Antonio -a Venetian merchant. becomes tjound to Shylock for* his friend Bassariio who lacks sufficient funds to pursue his courtship of the fair Portia whom he finally wins, and'who as a disguised doctor P: laws saves Antoiv.o's- lite and conveits Shylock r~ Christianity. Ant niv has incurred Shylock's mortal hatred to the extent that the only bond Shylock will taT;e to taker, from <he'region nearest the heart. When on the appointed dav"Antonio fails to pay. Shvlo.k becomes adamant yip demanding his pound of fleSh. Tno'ugh Ant-.-r.lo's friends ctTer him the- amour.; Jri the loan money .times over his' hatred of Antonio makes .hi-m "obdurately Iff:'AfeV.t in his demands fm his pound-of- flesh. The Venetian law proves ' t 're on his side, unti^ Portia lately married-JUi.

BETWEEN THE LINES ~ B\ GORDON B. H XNCOCK ^ | . JAPAN'S DI\ IStOX OF D?1VH4^In many ways, it is distressing to see Japan an.! China in bitter eonniet joined! To have the i...potcne* o: the I^eSgue of Nations so so_-n expos, and our dream of--universal pea.ee thwarte ' iV.i.us with abject dismay.When the war dvgs are oh.-, unleashed, nobody can 'preu.et what .trail -;h'ey will follow. It is a pity to see prepared Japan slaughter the innocent "Chinese, brave pyrr.aas. u.."armed. 1 he Japanese are so intrepid and so .bravv: and when, to this their great skill is ail.a d. :h.. present a n.igk'.V iV.or.ace to t.'.v -n.y.v Cmna. .... :p the peace of the world. That bath nations -n<. long 10 the despised "darker peoples of the Twentieth. Century makes all the more deplorable what is transpiring in the Orient. Japan has rgan.-zv its "Division of .Death" whnw mcwL i\ r * die /ir^tne service of the Fhtlur.and. Wiu-s" nu-;. are fearless in the face of death, their powers foi pood or ill gr<- 1. lilll .'igL H'lil bli.v.u, not fear, have laid the foundations of vvt:y gt\a. civilization. It is a consecrated heroism that'ntaiu nations great and civilizations splendid! No wor.dc. we are at heart hero-worshippers, the last onc o. us. May it not, be probable that the present plan, that Japan "holds in the sinr~Trf national glory. i" .thie to thtnr -unbounded bravery, and. theij daiir.^ "TRraF"TTaunt defiance in the face of death?' When ?? nation or a person conquers the fear of death, nearly the last obstacle has been removed from life at its best. There is no greater?curs. than tin fear of death! Almost all other fears are root* ti in this fear. Born to die, with death invvitabl.-. and even desirable, why should we cringe and tak our leave of earth with dire misgivings and gloom; forebodings ? Reduced to .its . last .analyshv a+k fear of death .is rooted in ignoratlfce. meanness or superstition One of "The"' great handicaps to the Negro race has been a religion that magnified the terrors of death. ' On the other hand, there .is no "higher compliment to the Negro than his accomplishment in the face of such terrorizing fears. Gradually "the race is being lifted, and little by little death is losing its. terrors. There arc timewhen it is imperative that some one should die for great principles; woe is that nation or t-hat rftce whose manhood or womanhood quakes at the prospects of death? . Too long has our r?CP hppn in ytnrnt^l. eeroing "an angry God cfeovt our Deads and the gaping Hell beneath our feet". The very thought ii> 'v.*?; - . t ?
