Mrs. Potter gained broad artistic ex-
perience, won cordial friends, and in
Cidentally made money. Returning
then to America, enthusiastic and con-
fident, she made circuit of the States,
and finally, last season, again threw
down the gauntlet in New York city.
The play was Charlotte COrday," and
1t was presented at Harlem theater
The sombre drama afforded it's heroine
one or two real opportunities, and
these Mrs. Potter was able to develop
with fine and sure effect. She gave
the metropolitan public thrill Of sur
prise, and the critics gracefully ac-
knowledged that new actress had
come to town. This was her open
sesame to the Broadway theaters, and
prepared the way for the present grand
production Of lie Collier de la Refine"
in which Mrs. Potter doubles" the
roles of the Queen Marie Antoinette
and the adventures Olivia Leguay. I
asked Mrs. Potter leading question
in regard to her conception of this part
of Marie Antoinette, and her general
idea Of acting, and she replied:
"Why, cannot pretend to act part
unless do it spontaneously. What
mean is, that after finding out all can
by study about the character to be pre-
sented-Marie Antoinette, for instance
4 try to feel that character by iden-
tifying my own personality with it.
Then the thing to do is to i'm
press this assumed character upon my
audience, through the best means
of expression I can command. This ex-
preston must necessarily have some Of
my own individuality in it. From what
other source could natural impulse
come? Isn't all art the expression of
Individual temperament? The rules ap-
ply only to the mechanical structure of
the work; Of course, one has to study
them, too. But some one whose concep-
ton Of Marie Antoinette differs from
mine, or who may have no real concep-
ton of her at all, but only conven-
tional idea, may tell me ought to play
the part thus and so. Even if willing,
though, couldn't change to his ideal.
And II did change, would 1 convince
others? Probably not, since 1 did not
convince myself"
