Everyone who saw Modjeska during
her last appearance In this city was
pretty well convinced that the great
actress would not long remain upon
the stage. This weeks Mirror con-
tains the following paragraph. II tells
q sad but too familiar story.
IAN illustration of the forgetfulness
Of the American public Is found in the
fact that Madame Modjeska was per-
mltted TO make her farewell appearance

any other during the period of her
success and popularity did more TO
popularize the heroines OF Shakespeare,

LA and Cleopatra, closed her honorable
stage career under virtually obscure
end trivial circumstances.
