Mrs. Kendars failure to please her au-
dience 10 katherine Kavanagh." says the
New York World. March II, was not sur
prising to New York, for similar verdict
was rendered on her performance in the
West 1t was rather odd that this distln-
guished actress exhibited in this part a
rasping and wearisome information Of voice
and degree CT awkwardness in elocution
and gesture which are all the more snrpris-
ing when c0ntrasted with her excellent elo-
cutionary efforts In other plays and the
grace which distinguishes her in private
life. One explanation Of this is that Mrs
Kendall purposely developed these charac-
terstics so as to stamp the part with a GER
tain individuality. but the other and more
generally accepted explanation is that she is
exceedingly slow in developing a new char
acter, and that her Katherine Kavanagh
will not be finished performance until she
has played it in public a score or more of
times. Mr.. KendaPs personal success in the
play was pronounced. He made. an ex-
ceedingIy pleasant impression. and 1t is by
no means true that he occupies secondary
place in the Kendall company.
