DUSE REFUSED TO APPEAR
BECAUSE OF STAGE ERROR.
Running of n Piece of scenery Used
Excuse for POstpOninr- Her
Appearance ut CENTURY Theatsr.

Nine. Eleonora Duse did not appear at
the Century last night in Francesca da
Rimini." the play scheduled for the sec
ond evenings performance. The house was
closed ana many who arrived at the thea
ter expecting TO see the famous Italian
star returned TO their homes disappointed.
The reason advanced for the canceling Of
the performance was that the Italian stage
carpenter, who accompanies the enterprise,
misinterprsted an order TO arrange the
scenery used in the third act. and ruined
drop scene, which. 1t is said, is indispensa-
BILE to the proper presentation of the act.
AS there was no duplicate at hand, 1t was
impossible TO properly stage the act ac-
cordlng to Nine. DuSe's conception, and
she declared that she would not give the
performance until the proper scenery was
obtained.
1t was currently reported that Nine.
Duses refusal to present the performance
was caused by pique at the slnness of the
first nights attendance, and the failure OF
the local dramatic critics to anayze her
performance according TO her conception OF
what waa due her.

who repre3ents Liebler & Co. of New York

no foundation for any such report. Nine
Duse is not. offended by any, of the news

her refusal TO go on last night +, not due
TO any f.;nciful whin or pique. She insists,
however, tAat the play shall be properly
staged according to her strict interpreta-
tion of the requirements, and will not toll
crate what is known as taking or substitu-
ton.

covering on the frames instead OF canvas.
The paper is tackled on and after an en-
gagement is striped off, rolled up and
packed away for transrortatio ton. We have
two sets OF scenery. one Of which is kept
in New York. When the Italian stage car
penter was ordered this morning to strip
the scenery representing the balcony and
staircase used in the third act, he misin-
terpreted the order and literally stripped II,

when the madame learned of this acci-
dent she refused to present the play with
out the proper scenery, and conceded with
her. l Immediately wired to New York to
send on duplicate drop. and this will ar
rive here in time to present the play to-
morrow evening.
1t is no feeling of pique on the madame's
part which induced her to pay out SLIGO at
the box Office tonight for seats already re-
served. Many of those who had purchased
seats exchanged them for one of the two re-
naming performances. but we refunded ST.
100 to holders of seats at that"
This IS the third time that Nine. Duse has
