Dobbs & Co. | - THE DAILY BRITISE WHIG, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1916. 4 "THE MERRY WIVES OF WIND- JOSEPH ROY SOR" PLEASES MANY. | A Large Audience Witnesses Shakes- peare's Most Purely Colloguial Play--A Splendid Presentation of the Comedy by Mr. Wise and Com- pany. ' ! Kingston theatregoers were last evening privileged to witness at the Grand an unusually delightful and| artistic presentation of "The Merry Wives of Windsor," ene of the most amusing of all farce-comedies. | iom do Shakespearean producers in-| clude this play in their repertoire-- | more"s the pity!--perhaps because few care to essay the 'role of the| | fat knight, Sir John Falstaff. Mr. Wise's production moves gmoothiy | from beginning to end, is always hu- morous and abounding in vitality of | |a vehement kind. While having due | regard for the requirements of an {age more outwardly refined than that | for which Shakespeare wrote, Mr. Wise does not eliminate anything | from the text that affects either its | rich humor or its vitality. |" Mr. Wise fits the role of Falstaff |at all points. His make-up is per- fect; his sense of humor - unctuous and unfailing; his diction clear, and his facility in pointing every witty line remarkable. It is one of the finest Shakespearean interpretation seen here in a long time. Miss Con- i stance Collier was no less admirable in the poise and perfection of her portraiture of Mistress Ford. With all the finesse of her mature art she passes through the play a figure of unfailing charm and wholesome mer- miment. Miss Isabel Irving finds full scope for her skill as a comedic nne-- the role of Mistress Page. The rest of the cast was exceptionally able. The staging and mounting are on a level with the quality of the acting. After the test of over three hundred years, "The Merry Wives of Wind- sor" still possesses more power to amuse us than the great majority of present-day comedies. ---- -- R. C. SHAW UNKNOWN HERE.

Pleaded Guilty and Was Given Maxi- mum Penalty--Has Served Six and Half Years of Twenty-five-year Term Garbed in the uniform of a: con- Joseph A. Roy pleaded guilty in the County Court Wednesday morning to having assaulted Benja- min Watson, a guard at the peniten- tiary. Crown Attorney Whiting | yved for sentence, and Judge La-| hearing the prisoner's] 8 y, imposed a sentence of two years, the maximum penalty. Roy has already served six and a half vears of a twenty-year term and has been employed on the stone pile. He has been a troublesome prisoner, and has had 114 reports registered against him, a great many of which, however, were for minor mis- demeanors. V after Prisoner's Story. Roy was given an opportunity to tell his story, which was a long and somewhat disjointed one. He claim- ed that he had been unfairly treated by Watson on a number of occasions. Jn leading up to the assault, he said that his resentment had been arous- ed by Watson taking from him a horse-hair chain, which would brin $2 "outside," and a toothpick, wort 50 cents. He had made both arti- cles after many hours of patient toil in the silent hour of the night. Watson, he said, had not helped mat- ters by ordering him to throw away a little snuff which be had in a piece of paper, while later the | guard gave to another convict sever-| al pinches of tobacco. These things! all helped to put him in an umpleas- ant frame of mind, and when the guard called him a vile name, which reflected on the character of his mother, he could stand it no longer. "My mother," said the convict in husky tones, "died when I was ten years of age. I loved her and I love her blessed memory." In explaining the assault, Roy said that he struck Watson only a light blow with a hammer "to show him that he had to stop treating me as a fool." He had no intention of doing serious harm to the guard. In closing his recital, Roy asked the court, "Do you blame me, your Honor, for doing what I did Apparently his Honor did. Sentence Passed. In passing sentence, the Judge said that Roy had taken the wrong method of securing redress for" his grievances, fancied or real. He should have complained to the war- den, who would have undoubtedly seen that he had got justice. If a convict were permitted to avenge every fancied grievance, law and or- der would soon pass away. The maxi- mum penatly for the offense charged was two years, and in view of the prisoner's record, the court an- nounced that this would be imposed. The prisoner, who had displayed considerable nervousness when the Judge was delivering sentence, dis- played no emotion when he learned that his long prison term had been extended two years. T. J.
