1t Is understood that since the American
tour of Mrs. Patrick Campbell has come to
an end an immense sigh of relief has gone
skyward from the entire business end of
Charles Frohman's enterprises. For, while
Mrs. Campbell has been a source of finan-
cial profit to everybody concerned, she has
at the same time kept Mr. Frohman's staff
in a state of tumult closely bordering upon
panic. The biggest success of the English
actresses repertoire is 1.-THE Joy of Liv-
ing" Theater-goers everywhere wanted to
see this play and nothing else, but Mrs.
Campbell spent most of her time, according
to reports, in a systematic endeavor to
avoid appearing in it. 1t will be remem-
bered that, while she gave three perform
ances during her Indianapolis engagement,
she played 1.-THE Joy of Living but once.
Olga Nethersole's new play, 1.-THE
Gordian Knot" produced last week at His
Majesty's Theater. in London, has shocked
the British theater-goers more than
"Sapho" ever shocked the good people of
this country. The new play was written by
Claude Lowther, an English dramatist, and
1t seemed to be the authors sole pur-
pose, according to reports, to depict
womanhood without a single .redeeming
feature. Miss Nethersole, as the villainess
of the piece. played her part almost too

ture of American women which proved I'M
pleasing even to Londoners. 1.-THE Gordian
