illustrated by he. performance of Mrs.

II have never played in Ibsen You

to be found. The court strives after pro-
ductions which do not appeal to the mass
es. None Of the modern impressionistic
school are greatly popular in London. We
are surprised that America has developed
such a fondness for this class of dra-

fitted for the domestic side OF married
life. A perfect housewife too often does
not make a great leading lady. and equal
ly as frequent a devoted husband cannot
be all that the public would require as
leading man. An actor or actress should
leave domestic ties alone and devote life
to art and to art only. All other things
are as naught. Art must come first al
