It does seem to me that those plays should be acted, and acted often, as a fine education and entertainment. There are many actors during the last year who have presented f Romeo and Juliet/ f Hamlet/ c Henry V/ and other Shakespearean plays. These have been presented very well. I have had nothing to do with them, and so I can afford to praise them. " " If you had your life to live over again, would you choose the same profession ? " " Most certainly I would. If I had not been attached to my pr...ofession, I should not be acting JOSEPH JEFFERSON now, for I am still following my profession. I have no present intention of retiring from the stage. Of course I do not think an actor should inflict his imbecility upon an audience, and as soon as he finds his powers impaired, it is proper that he should retire. I only hope I shall dis- cover my falling off before the public does, and then retire, like a well-bred dog, when he sees preparation being made for kicking him out. " " Would you advise the young to attend the theatre?" " I would advise the young to attend the theatre and see good plays that are educational.
