'Hamlet' is a long play." "I saw Mr.Southard in 'Hamlet' long before I knew him," remarked Anne.
"My father and I were in New York rehearsing the play in which I afterwards refused to work.

The manager of our company was a friend of Mr.Southard.One night he asked me if I would like to see the greatest actor in America play 'Hamlet.' I said that Everett Southard was the only man I ever wished to see in the role.

I shall never forget how I felt when he handed me a slip of paper.

It was in Mr.Southard 's handwriting and called for two seats at the theatre where he was playing.

He said he had asked Mr.Southard for the passes purposely for me, because," Anne flushed slightly, "he insisted that in me lay the making of a great artist, and that I ought to see nothing but the great plays, enacted by great players." "How interesting!" exclaimed Grace.
