QUEEN OF THEST
BsRNHARDT PLAYS LAToScABeFoRE
A BRILLIANT RICHMOND AUDIENCE.
4 Finished Production Enjoyed by the
Beauty and Fashion of the City
Brief Chat with Her.

Bernhardt drew magnificent house at
the Theatre last night--a house which was
largely full dress and in which there was
barely standing room left after the curtain
went up on the first act of the play. Sar-
dou's La Tosca.
In writing of Bernhardt's Floria Tosca
the disposition is to deal absolutely in
superlatives. Yet these fail of appro-
pristeness. not for the reason that they
ore not merited, but because in running
over the artists of her school. there Is not
found standard for comparative criti-
clsm.
Bernhardt's personation of the cha
racter or rather her creation of it's
series OF emotional antlthesis from her
first TO her last appearance on the stage, In
which her subtle genius and superb art
captivate, fascinate. and magnetlze. One
forgets In her delineation the distorted
literary construction of the drama. and its
most unreal phases become natural.
In the fearfulIy dramatic scene which
closes the fourth act, and in the strain of
passion. which is the ovefshadowing fea-
ture OF the latter part of the third act, the
audience involuntarily asslmilates the in
tense strain that is upon the actress and it
Is relief when the curtain falls. Wheth-
er she is the fascinating woman in the
church scene. or the tlgress IN the murder
scene. she holds her auditors SPELL
bounG through love, hate, scorn, revenge,
and disgust. all of which have full sway
in the r0te. there glints the refinement of
art and is present poetic grace of move
ment.
STRONG SUPPORT.

port than Richmond usually sees. This Is par
ticularly true as regards the Baron Scarpia OF
