A great accomplishment (A glowing account, covering a column, given tribute to Ernest Possart, the versatile actor.)

Special stress is laid upon his complete subjugation of the ego, whereby he is enabled to transform himself so completely that no vestige of his prior personality remains and he becomes unrecognizable when compared with another character in a previous performance. "Carl IX," "Rabbi Sichel," and "The Merchant of Venice," are in his repertoire. The New York Herald acclaims him as far superior to Booth in his rendering of Shylock, in Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice."
