...Hamlet" will be acted upon an old English stage, first constructed in 1893 for the presentation of Ben Jonson's "Silent Woman." The stage was afterwards remodeled at great expense and is now the most nearly perfect Elizabethan stage in existence.

Although the play does not fall under the Elizabethan period, it has so many affinities of story and characterization that the Chapter has gone out of its proper field to present it. The play is a farce comedy whose humor is surprisingly up to date as a satire on our own social system...
