help of scenery and Of trained artists,
1t is a fascinating piece of literary art
which holds one absorbed to the very
close of it's fifth act
Although the young dramatist knows
his stage work well and provides strik-
ing scenes, SO far as surroundings go,
for four out of the five acts, yet the
self-abnegation that Cyrano shows may
seem unnatural and his heroics peril
ously near to rant, while the climax
might be thought unsuited to the re-
quirements of the boards to-day which
call for the most violent and peopled
stage at the close of the last act. But
Cyrano can rant because he is still in
character; his ranting, however, is so
spiced with wit and perfumed with
poetry that no one can take offense;
it is sublime fooling; 1t is daredevil
talk that makes one ponder and smile;
it is paradox after Shakespeare's heart.
Cyrano is the study of man of noble
mind and great learning, as well as
marvellous wit, whose life has been
ruined by a physical popularity that
sets him apart from the rest of man
kind. His own apologize addressed to
his friend LIE Bret reveals the presence
of lifelong bitterness because of that
monstrous feature of his, added to
passion for independence and combat

Fisher played Marie very delicately and

About Modjeskas work in the old

which 1 have been saying all week
and be thankful that they may still be
said. She is a genius, one of the three
incontestably great women who are left
to the stage. Her personality and
methods are absolutely her own; her
impersonations come fresh from life,
not stale from the stage" Not to have
seen her as Mary Stuart, as Magda, as
Camille, is to have missed three of the
artistic opportunities of the century.
People tell me that Modjeska is grow

be sorry, but somehow 1 am not as long

kerchief and while holding his hand
manages to approach the point. AS
she proceeds his hopes rise, until, de-
scribing the man she loves, she comes
to handsome. Then Cyrano knows
the truth and staggers to his feet; but
he grits his teeth and promises to be
the protector of his rival.
The situation gives chance for ter
rible conflicts in Cyrano's soul, but it
is only the beginning of his tragedy.
Having promised to guard the favored
one, he finds himself writing for Baron
Christian such love letters to Roxane
as the younger man cannot so much as
imagine. His is the bitter-sweet of
pouring out his soul to the woman he
adores and knowing that she will never
suspect him as the author.
The balcony scene is one of the new
est and boldest bits of playwright's
work since Shakespeare, the spirit of
whose works, by the way, is suggested
throughout this striking and original
drama Darkness and the conversation
held in whispers favor the deception.
Cyrano pleads passionately the love
that Christian cannot utter, and. in
deed, can hardly feel, and when the
moment comes to ascend the balcony
and take the kiss that has been won
by flights of great poetic beauty, Cy-
rano pushes Christian forward and en-
joys the bitterness with a dash of
sweet that lies in the thought
1t is the mental conflict in Cyrano as
much as his strongly marked traits
that holds the reader of this drama
and to the thoughtful theatergoer must
furnish more than half the fascination
when the piece is played. One thinks

poet and playwright, but will not
truckle to influential patron or pub
Usher. He first comes on the scene in
his double character of fantastic bully
and critic; 1t is at the old Paris theater
where Moliere's and Comedies plays
were acted; he stops the performance
of an actor whom he dislikeS because
he is a ridiculous actor and has dared
to ogle from the stage Roxane, the
cousin whom he (Cyrano) madly loves.
Cyrano has loved his cousin RoXane
from childhood. .but never dared to
breathe it because he is so hideous.
Both have come to Paris from their
home in Languedoc; he is the most
valiant, feared and witty member of

Their meeting is at a great cook shop

~ YRANO DE BERGERAC'' is a
drama In rhymed verse, the
scenes Of which are laid in the
seventeenth century. 1t tells
~ the lovely tragedy in the life of
an historical character. a mad poet ana
dramatist, duellist and soldier, VINO
was cursed with as huge and disreput-
able a feature as Nosey the Dwarf In
the fairy tale. Its author is young
playwright from Marseilles. These are
facts which hardly account for the ire
mendous success which has attended
the play in Paris and the principal
cities of France ever since its first ap-
nearance in December last at the Porte
Saint Martin, with Coquelin in the title
role.
Poor and foolish plays have had such
triumphs. A famous actor like Coque-
lin might invest comparatively feeble
piece for the theater with the magic Of
his personality. Some whim of the pub
lie. or some appeal to patriotic or
religious idea might carry play for
hundreds of nights. But "Cyrano de
Bergerac" does not depend on the
strength Of the actor who takes its
leading part, nor Is there any appeal

satisfaction of the discovery, not OF an
adaptation, but of something radically
new. The Due de Guiche, who has been
pursuing Roxane with a lawless pas
sion, discovers that she loves Christian,
and so-hoping to get him killed in the
war-orders him and the lrest of the
cadets away to the siege of Arras; 1t IS
to Cyrano WITH the Nose that Roxane
entrusts her handsome young bride
groom, to save him from the open
weapons of the Spaniards and the
treacherous Vaccinations of the Duke.
Christian is killed in the war after a
hurried marriage with Roxane, but Cy-
rano prevents him from making a
deathbed confession of the trick played
on his young wife by whispering him
that she knows all and is content. She
enters a nunnery, where she thinks and
dreams of her dead, and for fourteen
years Cyrano visits her once a week
without reveal g the secret of his love.
That secret she herself discovers the
very day that Cyrano, w--o-has been
treacherously assaulted from behind by
some enemy, crawls out to make the
last visit to her and die in her presence.
That death is of a piece with the rest
of the play, magnificent like the heroes
of the Elizabethan drama; the dying
champion sees visions of the foes he
has assaulted so well but so fruitlessly
Compromise, Prejudice, Cowardiee,
Folly, Lies-and in his dying burst of
heroic madness he staggers to his feet,
draws his sword, puts his back against
a tree and executes the big movements
of the old-fashioned sword play as he
denounces and stabs these airy phan-
toms of his brain.
