rather surprised at his taste. Almost
everybody observed that her hands, while
large and white, were remarkably bony.
1t was the more noticeable because the
actress had a habit, when laboring under
unusual excitement, of stroking her hair
back from her forehead; as though the
emotion she was undergoing made her
head ache.
In la Gioconda" Duse played the char
acter of Silvia Settala, the wife Of Lucio
Settala. a sculptor whom everybody was
supposed to be talking about. The great
scene of the tragedy was in Lucios studio
at Florence. Lucio tells Of a mysterious
woman, whom he believes to be the in
spiration of his, art, the strength Of his
genius, and of his Irresistible need Of
her, despite his intense love for his wife.
The evil genius of this woman, who is
hardly seen or heard Of on the stage
during the course of the play, pervades
the tragedy from first to last: The wife
knows all about 1t and Of La Gioconda' 8
visits to her husbands studio every day
during his long illness to moisten his
clay models.
1t Is there Lucio has created the statue
that is to bring him fame, and it is there
that the enrageds wife goes to repel the
intruder. This is Buses great scene,
Selling her hat and cloak she goes to
meet her rival. Her husband, her sister
and her crying child try to dissuade her;
but, needless of3severything, she leaves
the house in a jealous rage. On the first
night, at the conclusion CT this act, the
house was in an uproar Of applause. Duse
and D'AnnunZio, their hands tightly
clasped, were called before the curtain
again, and the powerful actI ess who had
schooled herself from a child to repress
all show Of emotion except rs she chose
to display it in her art, gazed at the hap
py youth beside her with the love light in
her eyes shining through her tears.
After that success the names of Duse
and D'Annunzio became very much min
gled. Her, friends wondered that wom-
an Of her imperial nature and brilliant
intellect could find anything fascinating
in a man with such an unhealthy and
morbid mind. D'Annunzio is a brilliant
taIker, and his intellectual qualities ap-
pealed strongly to the actress. Together
they formulated great plans for restoring

one Of the most unique figures in con-
temporary literature.
In appearance he is rather foppish, with
short, curly black hair, an aggressiveIy
curled moustache and a winning smile
His curious dead-white complexion at
tracts attention at once. AS q general
thing his manner is reserved to strang-
ers, but once interested he converses
most brilliantly and has a charm OF ad-
dress that few women can resist.
About fifteen years ago, when a mere
youth in college, he published volume
Of poems 50 daringly erot1c that In spite
OF its merits, readers were Scandalized
and publishers were warned to be more
careful. After awhile FEW Of his verses
were translated into the French maya
zines and he began to make a reputation
outside Of his own country. But it is
within five years that he has become an
and a source Of heated controversy
among critics.
But 1t is as a novelist that he appeals
to the general public That is his chosen
method of expression and is best adapted
to reveal his curious personality. He is
an enthusiast for color, brilnancy Of en-
preston and the persuasive power Of ex-
ternals. He frankly admits that his he
roes are largely portraits or himself, en-
acteristics.
In these portraits, which resemble one
another like brothers, D'Annunzio CAN
scarcely he said to have tiattered him
self, even If he has gratifed his vanity.
All of them are essentially Of one type
egotistical, weak, yet undeniably attract
i've.
D'Annunzio worships the beautiful. His
books are a constant apotheosis of art

has a practical acquaintance with 1t. He
is fond of drawing illustrations from IA
vorite works of the masters. and has a
special liking for the early Italian paint
ers. 1t is necessary to thus emphasize
the artistic side Of his complex character,
because it is the key to his individuality.
He has made a religion Of his cult and
beauty. He says: II yield obedience
to naught save those rules Of conduct
to which 1 have submitted my free ma
ture in order to attain my own concep-
ton of order and beauty"

MUSIC and MUSICIANS

GIee songs and singers have filled the
bill of music the past week, the artists
series having practically closed the old
year, and the new year will open under
suspicious circumstances when Theodore

grammes under the auspices Of the
Schubert club at the Peoples church

The German song recital given by
Lewis Shave, baritone, assisted by Claude
Madden, violinist, deserved a larger at
tendance than it brought out on Wednes-
day evening. Owing to counter attrac-
lions the audience was small though ap-
preciative. Both artists were at their
best, and nothing but praise can be said
Of their musical efforts.
The regular fortnightly recital of the
Schubert club will be held at the Grand
