THE. COLLEGIATE. I05 desire to see, the one at the Globe or the one at the Curtain? There wvas a flag raised at that famous theatre too, XVho knows whether it is Shakes- peare at the Globe or not? asked Harry. He is, I answered, It is some new play he has just written. 'The Venetian Merchant' I think is the name. I Then to the Globe. burst forth the others. Soon we were bef-ore that large, wooden build-ing. Its octagonal shape distinguished it for a play- h-ouse, and over its bare door, 'hung the sign of the Globe. There we paid a penny each and got admit- tanoe to the pit. Thi-s cone-shaped section before the stage had neither seats nor a floor and was m-uddy from a recent rain. Above it and to the front was the stage, with rus'hes on the floor and a blue curtain at the back of it. The play was to be la comedy. At the sides and back were the galler- ries where the wealthier pe-ople sat, the only part roofed in except the stage. But the mufddy condition of the pit did not hinder the play-goers. Though it was only half-past two, the pit was rapidly filling with a noisome crowdg coarse jests went around the pit. Brawling apprenti- ces jostled us about or we stumbled over someone wh-o tired -of standing, had sat down on the plain, h-ome- made stool he had brought with him. Others were standing in groups and discussing the dress of the various nobles as they entered. See, here is the noble count of Wes1tfield, Roger was saying, Look at his velvet ho-se. Methinks they must have cost no petty sum. His Venetian breeche-s must have cost nigh four score pounds. That cloak of his must be slilk. VVhat a sum he must have paid out for it. And his hat, methinkrs, comes from Germ-any. Yes, ,I said scarcely noticing him, and here is our Lord Haldi- mand. His silken trunk-hose must have come from France. Wfould they not look go-od on me, jack? And see his red velvet jacket with its gold braid. If I but had the sum I would have it myself. And with that good r'apier he carries I would champion the queen. You art better off as thou art, if I judge ariigh't, Roger replied, thoughtfully. Here cometh the good Sir Kennebec. His arm he carries yet in a sling from last month's tournament and yon scar on his fface he obtained in the lists. '6lVho is yovn-der noble? queried -lack, His outfit, methinks- Keep thy tongue quiet. They begin. ordered Roger. The crowd grew quiet while the title of the play was announced. The Merchant of Venice. T'hen the play began. A light blue flag was hung to show that it was a day scene and a board, with Venice printed on it in big black letters announced the place. Yon Antonio is not such a bad person, said R-oger, in fact he is an excellent one. He will lose nothing by rash decisions. He is of your own kind, retorted Harry. Unless he presently grows happy he will spoil the wihole play with his sorrow. Gratiano could match twenty of thy Anltoniosf' VVhat of Basfs'anio? I put in. He seems a likeable person. I wfager he is m-ore tlhan a match for thy Gratiano, and Antonio, too. The scene was over a-nd a new board was put up with Belmont printed on it, but the blue flag re- mained. But soon the scene chang- ed to Venice again. A jew. ejaculated I-ack on Shy- lock's appearance. Come, jew out with thy money. Yes, taunted Harry Be not like the rest of thy tribe, dog. or we shfall force thee off the stage. If thou playefst the part better I shall tahink thy beard real. I shouted. In spite of t'he taunts and jeers the play proceeded. The second act was soon begun. Launcelot, in his fool's costume entered amid

W6 THE co LLEGlATE jokes and jeers. Shylock played his part among taunits and thre-ats. An- tonio was somewhat unerved, Bas- sanio and Gratiano seemed to appeal to the crowd, and Salanio and Sala- rino were treated according to the news they brought. The boy wlho played Portia knew his partwell but the nobles were in a mood to drive Ariragon from the stage. The third act was now over and the sitiage fitted with a few chairs and table to represenit a law-court. Shylock as usual got more than his share of abuse from t'he actors and audience. Come, Jew, shouted Jack take thy money and go. The door is tired of waiting. Hold thy tonguef' Roger order- ed. Antonio speaks. That is right, Gratian'o, I ex- claimed. Drive the dog jew from the placef' Shylock at last left the stage a- mid a din of taunting voices. Portia was cheered and Bassanio com- mianded to give up his ring. At last th-e play ended. It had lasted almost three hours. At once the jostliing crowd rushed for the door, each voicing his opinion of the characters. At lasrt we passed out and immediately set off to the Thames. As we crossed it the sun wias' sinking in the west. The theatres stood out in bold outline against the sunset sky, silent senti- nels of the departing day.
