given Miss Adams the first chance to do
the part.
And then, too. there are other cele-
brated feminine parts that the star of
The Girl and the Judge" Graves TO play
For instance: Henry James, the English
writer, once told Miss Russell that he
would never die happy until he had seen
her in Camille" But she told him
she was very, very sorry, indeed, that
he would have to leave this sphere in
an unhappy frame of mind, as she did not
think Marguerite Gautier would ever be
included in the list of parts to her credit.
This belief in Miss Russelrs admirable
art was asserted by Mr.. James during
her London engagement. A very re-
markable engagement it was, too, by
the way She had suffered for four
years-three of them had been spent in
hospital bed Nobody but this brave little
woman can have any conception of the
pain, the anguish, the untold misery she
experienced during this illness which
threatened her very life at one period.
But as she passed the innumerable weary
bedridden hours, she thought much of
her art. In fact she had not much else
with which to occupy her mind.
She concluded, among other things,
that our actresses-that she herself-did
not utilize natural methods as much as
they should. and she determined that if
she was ever well enough TO resume her
position on the stage, she would be an
exception to the general rule and would
eschew the artifcialities of many of her
contemporaries.
Then when the hospital was left be-
hind when the actress was strong enough
to look about for an engagement, she
found that this matter of being natural
on the stage met with absolutely no en-
couragement from the stage directors.
At one moment the question OF occupa :
tion became so serious that she almost
entered the ranks of the vaudeville per-
formers with a sketch called Danger
field '95." But just then she had a chance
to go to London and play this little piece
as curtain raiser in one of Charles
The Washington times., 1902-03-30

Frohman's theatres. Her friends strong
ly advised her not to think of such 4
thing-they averred it would be suicidal,
nobody in London ever hears curtain
raiser, they are merely of service to oc
eupy the stage until the major portion of
the audience is seated.
But Miss Russell needed not these we'll
meant admonitions. She did go to Lon
don, and she did play "Dangerfeld, '95, -
as curtain raiser and in a night or so
her art was the talk of all London. By
the time the little playlet was COM
menced the theatre was invariably seated,
and her spectators comprised the artistic
set of the English metropolis population
singers from Covent Garden, the IA
nous writer's and painters, the dilettanti
of London town. Hers was perhaps the
greatest foreign artistic success that has
been made by an American actress OF
late years.
At once came a shower of offers to star
from the very American managers who
short time before would not even give
her position that her talents justified
her in accepting.
1t was a period of pardonable glorifca-
tion to this brilliant brainy young ac-
tress, was this success after the years
of almost uncomfortable pain and despair
and the subsequent futile quest for
chance to earn a livelihood at her pro-
fession. Then quickly followed the pro-
duction of Bret Harte's Sue which is
still talked of in London theatrical cir
cles as veritable triumph of natural
stage methods.
One English critic called Miss Russell
the Duse of America a"-others were
equally enthusiastic over her work, and
all London focked to see this wonderfully
gifted young American. AS Jefferson
Stockton, the California millionaire, in
Bronson Howard's play, "Aristocracy,"
decided that the quickest, safest, and
most approved way to enter the sacred
portals of New York society was by way
of London, SO Miss Russell found that
her art, given its first recognition
in the English capital, brought her back

Russel An Interview Minus the Usual Quotation Marks.

Annie Russell, the most intellectual
star in the entire Charles Frohman con-
stellation, occupies false position in
the esteem of the general theatregoing
public
She IS usually regarded as merely
a very sweet refined, graceful dain-
ty actress, with a wealth of the most
attractive sort of personality imaginable,
an actress who can do typical Annie
Russell parts, as they are called, por-
rayals of ingenious young women of the
very kind one meets in everyday life,
better than anyone else.
Miss Russell is all the general public
thinks of her-but she is a great deal
more. She possesses an ambition, of
which but little is known outside the lin
tied circle of her own intimatcs. She
doesn't exactly dislike playing the sweet,
lovable young women with whom her
name is so strongly associated. but she
would undoubtedly welcome a change of
roles, if for no other reason than to dem
onstrate that she possesses talents that
would most assuredly do much with an
emotional part.
IN The Girl and the Judge" Miss Rus
sell gives her audience a aeeting glimpse
of this emotional side of her art 1t isn't
great deal, but it discloses fund of
emotional possibilities.
Just imagine Miss Russell playing Ju-
liet,
Seriously
She confessed to an interviewer the
ether day that some time she hopes to
have a chance to play the part. She stud
led it during sojourn in Italy, and has
discovered some new possibilities that
have never been touched upon by any
of the actresses who have essayed the
Shakespearean heroine.
Miss Russell, for instance, would give
an altogether novel Interpretation of the
potion scene. Her Juliet would be
hysterical young woman-not melodram-
atics, but hystera would aid in the por-
trayal. Some time, Miss Russell says,
she may play juliet. Not in the i'm
mediate future, because Mr.. Frohman has
The Washington times., 1902-03-30
Mrs. "Pat" Hates Notoriety.

Mrs. Patrick Campbell has very strong
dislike for the sensational methods that
have been used to advertise her perform
ances in the United States, and while, up
to date, she has registered no objection
to collecting her share of the box office
receipts that have accrued from the
splendid campaign of advertising made in
her behalf. she steadfastly refuses to be
interviewed.
Save for a brief chat in the lobby
OF the Columbia Theatre after one of the
matinees last week the English woman
has not. since her departure from New
York. uttered a word about her art or
given her ideas of America or how she
regards our theatres and our audiences,
whether our railway cars are not over
heated, or of the many other matters Of
interest that the average visiting player
dwells upon at great length whenever
there is a chance to have the remarks re-
produced in cold type.
Not Mrs. Campbell, however.
She will be no party to the press
agents willy schemes for getting the
name of Campbell in print.
This was the extent of an Interview Sc
cured by venturesome dramatic writer
a day or so after he had printed the i'm
preston that Mrs. Campbell was not
beautiful woman, and that hers was the
art of the intellect, rather than of the
heart:
They say owe my success to my per-
sonality," the actress declared. Il don't
know what my personality means, even.
But do know how hard work, ard how
l care for my work
There, that was all.

who is averse to seeing her name in the

! to Gotham, in Sue in even a more ex-
allied position than she. Occupied on the
metropolitan stage before her prolonged
illness caused the commercial side of the
native theatre to forget that there was
such an actress as Annie Russell.
Since her return TO her own country
Miss Russell has scored a trio of very
remarkable and unsurpassed successes
first in Miss Hobbs,' next in "A Royal
Family" and now in THE Girl and the
Judge
Next season Miss Russell will be seen
in Madeline Lucette Ryley's Mice and
Men, at present being played in Lon
don by Forbes Robertson and mis- Ameri-
can wife, Gertrude Elliott, a sister o:
Maxine Elliott. 1t will afford Mr. Froh-
mans star a good opportunity to display
her delicate art, but it is good way dis
tant from the goal Of her ambition-an
emotional par.
There's a wi ole lot of sense in the way
Miss Russell looks at the matter She is
perfectly content to play Annie RUSSELL
parts, because she is level-hoaded enough
to realize that the public thoroughly ap-
preciates her in such ingenious roles,
and the financial support of the public
is not to be disregarded
Still. she only wants a single oppor-
tunity to prove that her faith in herself
is not misplaced. She has a vast fund
Of technique at her command, more. in
fact, than almost any other American
actress, for II should he remembered this
uncommonly talented young woman has
known the glare of the footlights ever
since she was eight years old. She now
has the physical strength to carry her
through arduous emotional work. and,
best of all. she has the most complete
confidence in herself.
All she wants is the opportunity.
Not SO much, after all.
Some day this desire will be an ac-
tuality. and it is worth predicting that
the stage will then possess a new emo
tional actress of even more varied and
brilliant attainrents than any woman at
present portraying this type of stage
heroine.

early favorite, was distanced in the
seventh heat and Nutbearer won the
race.
The 2:14 pacing stake was hot race
that required six heats to decide. Ana

Maine, was liked by quite following
especially when Myron McHenry drove.
Carl Wilkes won the first heat with
new record of 2:05 and then the third
after Anadrossia took the second, but
neither could land the race. Loeanda,
the Boston horse, owned and driven by
James M. Brodbine, won the last three
heats. The 2:22 trot was won by Will
