has given us a charming and poetic play,
not a play so much an idyl of the
heart and home affections, and Blanche
Bates appears before the American public
as an actress of remarkable versatility and
with a command OF expression that almost
amounts to genius.
This Nine. Butterfly is what painters
would can study in profound pathos. 1t
Is long monOlogue of expectancy. hope,
despair and heart-rending grief Such a
play must necessarily be intensely sad.
but surely we should all render thanks TO
an actress who can 30 analyze, dissect and
pour out before us so convincingly all the
agonies of broken heart This play is
tragedy In little. and, of course il owes
its whole success 10 the actress who plays
for one long hour on an ever-tuneful harp
OF emotion.
Miss Blanche Bates Is never at fault
from the rising of the curtain to the fall.
Her accent, half English half American,
Is exactly correct She might have lived
In Japan all her life, and even If she had
she could not better have impersonated
