NOTE AND COMMENT.

William Collier told a Washington inter-
viewer that if there is another actor who is
nervous he is on the occasion of his
first appearance in a new part he would
like very much to meet him. He has tried
repeatedly TO overcome his extreme nervous
feeling, when he is to be seen in a new
role, but try as he will it is utterly impos-
sible for him to do so. Some one remarked
to him a short time ago that he had been
the central figure in many important pro-
auctions and that he must feel perfectly
at home and not know what the meaning Of
nervousness was. He replied, You must
be joking. Every man, woman and child ia
the profession, and particularly managers,
know what horribly nervous frst-night

brought about, of course, by the physical

Irving For a descriptive purpose and'not
to say aught against our latest Hamlet II
may be noted that Sothern's is almost
everything that Robertson's is not-par-

turesque and melodramatic, while the Eng

demonstrative, and above ALL untheatric.
Jennie Eustace gives evidence of the con-
trasting noisness of Sothern and the
quietude of Robertson. Miss Eustaces
Queen Gertrude is the best portrayal in
each production aside from Hamlet. When

The man who has affected the acted

Dumas seems now close to death, writes
Norman Hapsood. The drama viii not for
a long time, if at ALL be what it was before
his influence. In Germany, France, Spain,
England he has caused a revolution. Known
to small public. he has acted directly on
the playwrights. The methods of a great
technician cannot be adequately described
but the central scheme of Ibsen's construc-
ton was never to explain more about a
situation, present or past, than was neceS-
sary barely to make comprehensive what
was passing. What most playwTights would
tell in the first act he often told in the
third. What they told all at once he told
in glimpses.
WHAT gives him his hold on a trained
audience is the relentless skill with which
he unwinds his story, feeding the spectator
at every moment just enough TO keep him
hungry. and creating always the sense OF
something vague impending. His psychol-
ogy. his problems" and his gloom have
had an influence more ephemeral.
