ciety. The character is difficult of de-
scription, and. while the type is not ex-
traordinary, it is product of the twen-
tieth century civilization There are
congratulations due Miss Maddern for
this portrayal in such cleverwise of a
young. beautiful. tall and languorous
maid, surfeited with worldly possess
sions, yet bored with what the world
offers her and finding her only relaxa-
tion and variety in slang. The play.
The Bridge" is largely centered about
this character, and Miss Maddern is said
to make the role remarkable for its
humor The language that she affects
is extremely shocking to her conserva-
tive elders and some one says patron
izingly: She can't help it; she learned
! it at yassar.''
| Rather amusing and hard on vassar,
but the real interest for Miss Maddern's s
friends is in the cleyerness she displays
