In honour of Shakespeare this performance has been arranged by Actors, Painters, and Musicians who have united in paying such tribute us lies in their power to the Master-Intellect of the ages. To all artists the memory of the Great Englishman is as dear as to those who recall with gratitude his patriotic love of his native one – "this happy breed of men, this little world, this precious stone set in the silver sea". But actors have a special claim to pay their homage to one who was himself an actor and a playwright – his works, apart from their contribution to philosophic thought and their "wood-notes wild" of divinest poetry, were written primarily for the stage and can best be appreciated when seen on the boards. For all his countrymen alike the deathless art of Shakespeare – especially at a time like this, so unpropitious to the bigger levels of imaginative creation – to at once a vindication and a pledge that Art itself is immortal. W. A. Courtney.

The number of actors and actresses assembled within these historic walls, in order to do honour to the memory of their immortal brother – player, approaches four hundred. Even that number would have been exceeded but for the war, which has denuded our ranks very greatly, particularly in regard to our younger men. It has been computed that some two thousand members of the theatrical calling had voluntarily – long before compulsory service was mooted – joined his Majesty's Forces. Many are now in the trenches common while other some – over forty for certain, perhaps more, for identification is impossible, several actors having enlisted under their real names – have died for their King and Country. To those who are still serving, it is intended to send a copy of the programme as a souvenir of this memorable occasion. For we are all – "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers" – united in love and gratitude for the man who, above all others, has enriched the stage and ennobled our calling. G. R.
