preston that times actually glori6es.
Clara Morris is entirely a different woman

both admired and loved. She does not

one, too, with a love so overwhelmingly
expressive hat its demonstrations al.
feet the audiences almost magnetically,
as though waves of spiritual emotion
rolled over them from her overAowing

higher, a more intell2ctu al and artistic
order; the feeling was finer, and more
finely and delicately expressed. She
lifted it to a realm Of poetry and art,
aud her acting was visible music. The
MajerOni showed great taste and skill
and native talent, but was unequal to
the task of creating a Camille. II was
remarkable how we'll and purely she
spoke English. Her husband was an

tually touched the high mark and won
applause, as q whole he failed. Yet the
performance was interesting, as showing
the success Of foreigners in wrestling
with and overcoming the difficulties OF
our language.
