 Eleanora Duse is looking forward ywith great interest to her coming tAnerican tour. She has great confi- sdence in the wise judgment and gener- 4ous consideration of the American the ,ater-going public, and she says she is glad of the opportunity to present her plays and her art to people unbiased by prejudice, and with sufficient artis- tie promptings to enable them to fairly judge. Under circumstances like these she has no fear of results, on her part, at all times, to deserve success. The lAmerican public can therefore rely, in the coming Duse tour, upon produc- tions, casts, and the supply of all ac- cessories necessary to the approxima- fion of perfection-at least so far as Madame Duse and her management have it in their power to furnish them. Certainly neither money, time nor la Dor will be spared.
