GUSTAVO SALYINI.
Ambitious and suprsmely Devoted to
His Art.


Just now Gustave Salvini is the reign
ing favorite of Italy AS a tragedian
he holds position in popular esteem
approximating that so long enjoyed by
his distinguished father. For half a CEN
fury the elder SaIvini. and Ristori were
the dramatic regents of Italy Now it
is the younger Salvini and Duse.
The prominent characteristics of
Gustavo Salvini beam in his frank coun-
tenance. He is modest. self-reliant. am
bilious and supremely devoted to his
art. From his father he inherits an ex-
allied ideal of his profession; for To-
maso Salvini has. preserved throughout
his long and DISTINGUISHED career the
private life of an Italian gentleman of
the highest rank and the family has
been honOred as much for its social po-
sition as for its gifts
Gustavo Salvini enjoys the robust
physical proportions of his nlustr1ous
parent, although not to the same extra
ordinary degree. He individualiZeS ev-
cry role he undertakes with peculiari-
ties that engross the most fascinating
study of characterization While he
plays Shakespeare with enough conven-
1onaiity to avert startling surprises, be
invests every part he undertakes with
personality that has about it something
which caDtivates with its originality.
Gustavo is a superb reader. He is
possessed of a voice of marvellous range,
controlled with the ease and directness
that formed such a fascination in his
fathers delivery His face is manly, his
expression dignified, his bearing heroic.
1t is an interesting circumstance that
after he had for some time been pur-
suing dramatic career Gustavo in de-
ference to his fathers wish. gave I'D the
stage; but after some years its attrac-
ton became too strong, and he return
ed to the boards. For a long time his
father could not be induced TO see his
representations, but finally he was pre-
vailed upon to witness "Edipus, the
King" with the result that he was
much affected by it and became entirely
reconciled to the actors choice. Among
the sons other roles are Petruccio.
Lear, Romeo. Hamlet, Shylock and Mar
co Cralievich. His expected visit to
America is of interest to all lovers of
genuine dramatic art.-Noyember Cen
