And there's Clara Morris-good old
Clara Morrisi Next to Palmer in the
reminiscent affection of the Monday
audience-which gave two protracted
spells Of applause to him-she was hon
ored above any and all of the partici-
pants in the memorable show. She
was a sad sight in lost comeliness, her
voice or former persuasive melody
clackled and wheezed and the five-min-
ute part Of Sister Genevieve seemed TO
tax all that remained OF her once Won
drous emotional power. Nevertheless,
she proved herself still an actress per
sonally and instinctiveIy. before she be-
gan to act professionally in the single

Increase the strength and length Of the

filled with tears, her hands trembled

she was deeply moved by proof so af-

quaintance not forgot and the DAYS

her disclosure Of real emotion How
different was the actress who doni-
mated the womani She stretched out
her arms as though beseeching the peo-
pie to cease their applause. she lifted
her outspread palms to heaven as
though in prayer for a blessing on them
and finally. after nearly doubling her
self to the ground in a grateful bow,
turned and retreated up stage as
though unable longer to face her tri-
umph. Clara Morris in her memoirs
describes herself as having been per-
fectly self-posSsssed under any stage
ordeal Her former companions tell
many corroborative stories Of her un-
broken compOsure under all tests of
prearranged acting or unforeseen accl-
dent. SO her behavior on Monday night
was interesting phenomena.
The fneness of that avowedly fine
line between the sublime and the ride
ulous was, perhaps. never more keenly
felt than when Henrik 1bsen's tragedy
OF "Rosmersholm' was acted for the
first time in this country and escaped
open guying only by the timely inter
vention Of the asbestos curtain and
general opening of exits 10 Broadway.
Five minutes more and the audience
would have ceased TO suppress and
given free vent TO its appreciation of
absurdity, Considering that imminent
possibility of unseemly levity it is I'M
doubleday as well that Mr.. Resented
had seen fit TO cut the Ibsen drama
freely. Ghosts" for instance, or "a
Dolls House" could not be comic.
Badly done, they might be. and not
infrequently have been extremely duh.
But they are real. In his later work
of which "Rosmersholm" is an admired
example. and his last play. When We

Ibsen has deserted the realistic for the
symbolic with increasing enthusiasm.
And it Is in symbolism that the fine
