Sarah Bernhardt seems to have in

feet of her performance as a whole

she is said to instruct them in the
earnest and realistic manner she en-
ploys with the members of her own
company. She partly conceals her
face behind Ophelia's hair as she ca
resses it, and at the end, seizing a
torch, holds it to the Kings face to
study it's expression.

Assisted by Frank Cooper, Ellen
Terry has introduced London to new
one-act play called "Variations,'' In
which she is obliged to assume half a
dozen different characters. Her great
est success seems to have been scored
as a cockney washerwoman. The play
runs about forty minutes, and was pro-
duced at benefit matinee. It proved
very successful.
1t is said that Mrs. Sam T. Jack will
not marry her brother-in-law, to whom
her husband practically left her in his

one-third, the brother one-third and
the parents Of the testator the re-
naming third.

Much speculation is aroused as to
what Ada Rehan will now do. Some
think that, as her health is not good
and her means comfortable, she will re-
tire from the stage. She has suddenly
changed her plans, cabling to Mr. Da-
ly's business manager, Richard Dor
ney, that she will not leave Paris, as
she first intended
Clement Scott, the veteran dramatic
critic, whose writings for so many
years appeared in the columns of the
"Daily Telegraph" of London, is cor
recting the last proofs of his Rem
iniscences," which the Macmillan Com
pany will bring out as soon as COM
pleted. Mr.. Scott's peculiar individu-
ality, his broad acquaintance among
dramatists and actors, and his long
| career among the most famous jour-
! nalists of the latter half of this CEN
tury should justify us in expecting
memoirs of more than usual interest.
Sometimes an audience likes to poke
fun at an actor when reasonable pre-
tense is afforded. At an interminably
long performance of Monte Carlo -
with Charles Fechter in the character
of the hero, the curtain rose for the
last act at 1916 in the morning.
Fechter was discovered sitting in a
contemplative attitude. He neither
moved nor spoke. Just then a clear,
sad voice in the gallery exclaimed. 'I
hope we are not keeping you up, SIR"
The effect may be imagined.

Edward Martyrs play "The Heath
er Field is still the subject of critl-
cal controversy in the English press,
but the general opinion evidently is
that, in spite of certain cleverness, It
is of very little stage value. Even
William Archer is unable to say much
In it's favor, although he is naturally
pleased that any young dramatist
should take Ibsen as his model. The
trouble with Mr.. Martyr, he says, is
that he "Ibsenizes clumsily." He re-
marks There is no apparent devel-
opment in Garden Tyrrell's mental dis
ease. He remains throughout on the
same level of semi-sanity, until the
failure of the 'heather-field' expert
ment drops him all of a sudden into the
gulf of madness. The true drama
would have lain in showing how his
wife's chill conviction of his insanity
gradually drove him mad; and some
such idea seems to have been present
to Mr.. Martyrs mind, only that he
lacked the skill to execute it, The
Saturday Review says. 'If Mr.. Mar
tyn had made the wife a sweet crea-
f11rn xx-ha ,-1. oh h
idealism on another woman, an ordi-
nary audience might tolerate the play.
Likewise, if he had made the wife
altogether horrible, and the husband
a dreamer who does not try to put
his dreams into practical form. AS it
is, Mr.. Martyr has drawn a woman
whose temper has been ruined by the
aloofness of a husband who does not
love her and wastes all his fortune on
more or less madcap schemes for i'm
proving his estate. Ones reason SYM
pathiZes with her, ones emotion with
the husband" Another writer OBJ
serves that the central figure suggests
an amiable person, of mediocre brain
power, driven by an unsympathetic
wife, a misconception of Ruskin's
writings, and an admiration of George
Moore into a blessed state of lunacy,
where he is able to enjoy a happy ig-
norance of the causes of his downfall.
He is interesting, but not exciting" A
fourth critic notes that ''in making his
hero a hereditary lunatic Mr.. Martyr
cuts the ground from under his own
: feet, for the interest felt in a man
whose actions are subject to no intel
ligible laws must always be of the
faintest."
