she?
I'm Northampton recently I played A

ing. Personally 1 prefer to play Hedda;
she is more fascinating to me.
Every woman believes in her heart that
she Is like Nora, that she is misunderstood
by her husband. Every woman u.s. in fact,
a Hedda, for every woman wants power
and influence. She loves to believe her
self the inspiration Of some man. She
loves to believe that she has shown the
man with a gift the way. She deceives her
self into the creed that the artist, the
sculptor the fnancier, the poet, owes his
success to her. Finally, too often like
Hedda, If she can't control him for good,
she will for evil. rather than not be an in
fuence at ALL
at is said that I speak much better Eng
lish in 'Hedda' than 1 do in A Dolls
House. The reason is that Hedda Is much
easier to play in English The Russian
language is more like the Italian; 1t is
soft and liquid and there are many sylla-
bles to express the idea that you express
in one or two. Hedda speaks abruptly, in
quick, staccato sentences often, and with
the English you can express that quality
of abruptness so much better.

a certain number who like Offenbach and
his school. Our people insist upon seeing
the questions with which they are daily
confronted. They want to know how to
answer these questions.
1.-The preliminary training of the actor
in Russia is severe l studied at dra-
matte school in ST. Petersburg, one of the
best in the country. Personally, I be-
lieve in the dramatic school, in fact see
no other method so sure and safe as that.
So severe are the tests that though I
started in the class with fifty-two pupils,
when we had reached the end of the Sec
ond year there were only seven left.
1.-The first year was devoted to reading
plays and studying the history of the
drama and of the theater; we had lessons
in dancing, singing, plastic poses. The Sec
ond year the dancing is continued and
some OF the other lessons, and we present
short sketches on the little stage of the
school. The third and last year we have
regular performances in the Imperial the
alter, and In that year also certain lessons
are continued, always the ballet dancing.
When an actor or actress has successfully
passed the examination and criticisms she
Omaha daily bee., 1907-03-03

may be said to be fairly launched on her
career.
After 1 finish the Ibsen matinees, II the
American audiences are still kind to me,
intend to appear in a modern play by
Roberto Bracco, an italian dramatist- We
have many clever Russian dramausts who
are writing modern plays, but the trouble
Is that so few Of them have been trans
lated. One of the best known, Crekoff,
died three years ago. Another, Polish
writer, whose name 1 cannot spell, wrote
one of my best liked social dramas, The
Snowstorm,' a really wonderful work.
However I am getting so American
lied that 1 am longing to play a good
comedy part. Besides, 1t will give me a
chance to show that I have versatility.
To play role over hundreds of times ends
in producing mannerisms which are diff
cult to eradicate.

them all, sometimes sitting up until early
in the morning to finish one. Most that

affects in her costume for that character
add to something that she hasn't got at all,
namely, height
Il am asked frequently how give the
impression of Hedda being a tall woman
when in reality 1 am only of medium
height 1 resort to no tricks. do not

height better than anyone 1 have ever
seen. He is short, about my height, but
when he was playing part that demanded
bigness he was bg-he lowered. 1 used
to have TO look up at him"
Nine. Nazimova says all this standing.

Hints at Withdrawal from the Hague Con-

Caracas. Aug. 80 via Willemstad. Aug. 81
II is reported that the withdrawal of Venezuela s
representatives from the Hague conference Will
be ordered. This is due to the attitude of Venez-
,Iela regarding the wording of the proposition
for the abolition OF the collection of debts from
foreign countries by force and to the proposed
constitution of the international high court of
Justice
Venezuela II appears. is not in accord with the
views of the American and German proposers
OF the convention on the subject of debt col
Iections. and is in sympathy with the attitude of
Brazil toward the proposal for the establishment
of an international high court. in rejecting the
arbitrary classification of the Latin republics
in the matter of the selection of Judges vio-
lating the principle of equality under which the
republics were invited to attend the conference.
The government of Brazil has sent word to
all its representatives accredited to the Latin
American republics to communicate its attitude
at The Hague to their respective governments.
