Marlowe's present impersonation. and the
loss in effect is patent"
Responsibility for this defect must OF
course be shared by Mr.. Sothern. His
choice as Miss Marlowe's colleague for this
unusual occasion was fully justified. for he
stands in the front rank Of his profession.
His record OF achievement is fine. but he
makes no inspiring Antony. Physically he
Is not thoroughly well endowed for the
part, which demands for best results an
actor made on more heroic lines. The part
Is romantic as well as tragic. and, clad In
the Roman costume and wearing the beard
which tradition demands Of this character,
Mr.. Sothern is not a romantic figure. His
reading of the lines is Of course generally
Intelligent. but II is distinctly uninspired.
and the love-maklng Of this eminent pair
is not in this performance Of the kind for
which wars have been waged and empires
lost. Whether or not 1t was so. We like to
believe that Antony was a very volcano
OF a Roman, a Titan Of a man and as
handsome as a god. Tradition is a trouble
some thing, nowhere more troublesome
than in the matter Of whiskers.
Touching the subsidiary character. the
New theater justified its existence at a
bound. No Shakesperian play seen here in
years has been so well cast. Authority,
dignity and poise were noted especially I'm
the performance Of A. f. Arson, who was
the Octavius Caesar, nor was Ben Johnson
as Sextus Pompeius in any way his in
ferior, though his scenes vanished from
the play after the dress rehearsal. One
would, moreover, go a long way outside
the New theater before finding bit" parts
like Thyreus and the Clown. played by
such excellent and experienced actors as
Henry Stanford, formerly with Henry Irv-
ing. and Ferdinand Gottschalk, long iden-
titled on our stage with eccentric imper-
sonations.

Adrienne

Lecouvreur made her debut in l7Os. The
young girl gained immediate success and
by her original talents and fresh beauty.
II was bat 3 short time before she became
the leading actress in the provinces. After
nine years, travelling about in the country.
she attained the position OF leading actress
In Strasburg, which possessed one OF the
finest provincial theaters.
Had IL not been for a serious trouble
caused by an unfortunate love affair which
drove her away. it is a question whether
she would have ever gone to Paris. The
faithlessness OF Count de KlinglIn, who
offered her marriage and then forsook her
to marry a lady of his own rank, was the
turning point In the career OF the girl who
was to become the greatest actress, not
alone In her own time, but Of centuries to
come, and also a turning point in the his
tory OF the Coincide FRANCHISE.
It was Adrienne Lecouvreur's Independent
art that opened the eyes Of the public to
the empty mannerisms OF the old school
For thirteen years In Paris she was the
Idol OF rich and poor alike. Although she
fought against l~ntrigues instigated by less
talented associates, stil with her great in
~tellectuaiity and unquestioned art she was
appreciated by the best men and women
Of her time. The new element which
Adrienue Leeouvreur infused into dramatio
art was just what It had lacked for many
years. and which may be expressed in the
one word-soul.
A contemporary gives the following
graphic description OF her art; "She never
appeared on the stage without seeming to
be penetrated by her part. Her eyes told
you what she was going to say; her fear,
her anxiety. were pictured in her face. The
spectator yielded himsel up to all her
emotions; he was as deeply stirred, as
overcome. as she, He feared, walled. trem-
bled with her, nay, his tears dropped be-
fore hers. This Is not surprising at an for
you saw nothing In her which did not seem
real and genuine. Il was her emotion. her
voice which spoke 70 yes

- That this may be long and bril-

49, the wish is not without some
promise Of fulfillment. The New theater
will have many problems-rather unusual
and vexatious some Of them-but so far It
has succeeded in making stepping stones
out Of its stumbling blocks"
Antony and Cleopatra was chosen for
the opening play and it was enacted by
a brilliant cast headed by Sothern and
Julia Marlowe. Concerning their acting
that Is probably a quite fair criticism is
given here FROM the New York Sun:
Miss Julia Marlowe and 10. H.. Sothern
were well entitled to the honor Of i'm
~personating the chief characters OF the
opening play. There is no actress in any
Ell glish speaking country at present cap
able of disputing Miss Marlow's preemi-
nence in the field Of classic drama. Her
hlstrionic power, her dramatic magma
ton, her peerless voice, her personal
beauty, are known as far as the stage is
known, and the present is no time to
descant upon them at length. All these
qualities were in evidence in her embodi-
ment Of Cleopatra, though the difficulties
with the acoustics of the theater tempo
rary. II is to be hoped were handicaps
which she occasionally failed to surmount.
OF course, the composition Of so COM
pick a character is not a thing to be per-
fected in one performance or in a dozen,
and it is certain that Miss Marlowe's
embodiment will grow in variety and rlpen
in power with successive representations.
yet 1t seems unlikely that the character
of Eygpt's queen will ever be accounted
one Of the greatest Of the representations
of this actress. As a matter Of course, it
has its big moments. Such a one is the
death of the queen from the bite Of the
asp. Here is felt the true surge of tragic
POWERFUL of tremendous stiffness. An
otler is the outpouring of the queens
wrath upon the bearer OF bad news. The
least satisfactory side of the impersona-
ton is exhibited in the love scenes with
Antony. Here the overwhelming flood OF
physical passion must be in evidence or
the result that follow it as effect from
cause lose half their power of conviction.
