vowels, which is too often affected by the
imported Anglomaniacs who are totally
ignorant of the perfect mother tongue
English, pure and simple, is musical
and pleasant to the ear, but when it
becomes jumbled with the lingo of a back
woods Vermonter, and the twang of
Missourian, sprinkled with a trife of the
New York vernacular, it becomes as harsh
and discordant as the din and crash of
Chinese orchestra. Miss Baird scores a
point which thus far seems to have wholly
escaped the attention of American
Irilbys. With Billie, Taffy and the
Laird, she is the high spirited, devil-may-
care pet of the studios. When Svengali
| comes on the scene her whole manner
undergoes change, and the effect Of his
diabolical influence is at once perceptible.
Her body seems to wilt, her shoulders
droop, and her whole attitude exhibits an
inward nervousness and unrest.
Her voice becomes weak and tremulous
when she falters. Don't look at me like
that, Svengali!" Instinctively one shud-
ders at the subtle power he is exercising

over her. There have been, and will be,
many Tribes, yet after all the real con-
ceptlon OF a character is often hampered
and made weak by the insufficient knowl-
edge OF an inferior stage manager, for me-
d1ocnty is oftttimes cloaked beneath the
draperies of little brief authority.
TO the student of psychology and the
amateur hypnotist the unwashed and I'M
tidy Svengaii is an anomaly admired
though always repulslve. There are many
Svengalis IN everyday life; they are breed
ers of misfortune and misery to all who
come in contact with them. However
their ambitions are not always as exalted
as Din Maurier's tangle-haired musician.
Wilton Lackaye created the wonderful
part of Svengali. and wonderfully subtle
| is his representation. He has Justly
earned the success and RECOGNITION which
his powerful performance brings him. Mr..
Lackaye is a student and man of rare In
telllgence. Every movement Of his body,
every gesture of his insinuatng hands,
every glance Of his peculiar bullying ewes,
has been studied as carefully and infinitely
as an engraver would scan the delicate
tracerles in a piece of thread lace Mr.
Lackaye is a man OF moods. He Is in
clined to be cynical, yet is wthal most
sensitive. he is a superior actor, and his
SvengaH will always be remembered as
one of his best representations.

at the Madison Garden Theater when Mr..
Lackaye was called 10 Chicago last sum-
mer, did not realize the great success his
host of admirers had hoped for. In short

seeded Miss Harmed in the New York cast
of ''Trilby," has met with public favor in
her Interpretation; and yet Miss Walsh
tacks in marked degree the sweet and
honest naturalness one iustinctively longs
for and expects in the jolly childish young
woman of the Quarter Latin. Blanche
Walsh is known throughout the United
States as capable actress, intelligent,
painstaking and a loyal, true American.
She IS one to be proud of; yet, with all
honesty, we must admit that she lacks the
undercurrent of heart Emusic which must
be heard in the soul ere success unchal-
lengeI comes to stay. Affectation and I'M
natural intonations soon form debris of
contradictions through which even genius
cannot struggle.
Miss Edith Crane. who has come into
notice but recently, has been winning
praise and compliment in her assum ption
of the role of Trilby in a. NJ. Palmer's
Western Company.
In the MERRY World" Miss Amelia
Summerville presents the prettiest stage
picture of TriIby yet seen. Thou h she is
supposed to burlesque the part, her en-
slippers is electrical, for at once one sees
the living picture of Du Maurier's dainty
sketch, "Wistful and Sweet"
The English Trilby, Miss Dorthea
Baird, who is playing the part in Mr..
Trees company at the Haymarket Theater,
London, is undoubtedly the breathing
realization OF Du Maurier's brain-child
1t is said that he gasped with wonder and
amazement when first he beheld the living,
moving being his fancy had conjured.
Miss Baird is tall and well formed. Her
English is pure, untainted with the con-
glomeration of long-drawn, drawing

character parts Cor bits) Mr. Thompson
has no superior on the American Stage
He is bold artist, broad and true in col
oring; but he loses magnetism and power
when he attempts to play a part on which
other characters depend. His is an en-
thusiasm so intense and sincere that it
burns out quickly, though tbs brilliant
while it lasts. His Svengali was a thick
voiced, heavy bottled, jmpassible Jew
lacking the intense nervous force which
should rlbue such character. His hyp-
motto powers were unconvincing, and even
a girl OF Trilby's susceptible nature
would have been inclined to blurt out,
What ais you, Svengah?"
Mr.. Beerbohm Tree, the English Sven

has beautifully ignored all rules, and by a
3eft handling of words and an undeniably
clever treatment of the battered subject of
hypnotic and mesmeric power, inter-
sperseG with artistic and characteristic
drawings, has challenged the admiration
and devotion of the world.
Americans are discoveries. The wit and
eccentric grace OF George du Maurier's
drawings have always been admired and
appreciated; but when one lucky day he
became inspired to do something more
ambitious the sluggish English publishers
hesitated to encourage an am bition they
never had SUSPECTED, "Trilbv" was finally
launched upon the chOppv sea of public
opinion by an American publishing COM
pany, and from the first met with smooth
sailing and sunny weather. Since it was
5ramatiZed by Paul Potter it has even
been more popular After having reigned
touched the English fancy, and is the sem
sation OF the day. 1t is 10 be played in
France, and in time the Russians and Ger
mans will have their Tribes.
1t is interesting 10 note and contemplate
the different Municipalities that poor
Trilbv has been graced withal by the
several actresses who have played the role.
At present England boasts OF only one
Trilby. Miss Virginia Harmed was the
first TO present "Trilby" in America. Paul
Potter's dramatization was produced by
a NJ. Palmer in Boston at the Boston
Theater last April. 1t met with instan-
taneous success. Miss Harmed ave 10 the
character more of the abandon and
Coquetry of a woman of the world than
the simple, Open-hearted frankness of Du
Maurier's unique heroine. Though Miss
Harmed was tender and lovable in the
emotional scenes she lacked the at
mOsphere which should surround the ideal
Trilby.
Miss Mabel Amber, who has made such
an excellent impression in her portrayal
of the character, is charming in her lack
OF affectation. She gives us a robust,
healthy girl, true-hearted, unselhsh and
honest. Miss Amber is practical woman,
and, despite her art, she now and then
imbues the impossible Trilby with a
lie that unfortunately robs the character
of the soul Du Maurier intended. Never
theless, Miss Amber is a pretty woman
and a talented actress.
Miss Blanche Walsh, who has super
