intelligent audience. "plot and Passion" was

the delight of all, her performance as Lady Clara

quite at ease in all her movements on the stage
but her voice never betrayed the slghesttremor or
weakness. Full, round, and vibrant, beyond the eX
pectation of those who have heard Mrs Langtry's
voice only in society, 1t amply filled every corner of
the large hall containing at least thousand spec

voice without any apparent effort IS one of the
most important of stage gifts or requirements, and
