| TO the actress the lure of the trou-
sers IS ever patent. Hardly has the
stage any leading actress, but who has
either played or aspires to play mas
culine roles.
The number constntly increases. In
the old days women after succeeding
In delineattng roles of their own sex
attempted the classical parts usually
assigned to men.
Thus there are records of many sue
cessful "Hamlets" and lagos to the
credit of women. But in such per-
tormances the essential skill to read
the sublime lines of the greatest of
poets would have gained liberation,
even II the spark of dramatic genius
burned very low.
But to play the male roles in mod
ern dramas seems in some respects a
still more remarkable ambition, for
the modern public, grown Indifferent
to the serious aims of dramatic art
Insists on being entertained, and it
takes a pretty clever woman to shift
from her own natural garb to that of
the other sex and still make good. x
The greatest of all actresses, the
mighty Bernhardt, has often crossed
the line, and as in the case of every
| thing she does, has been eminently
successful
Not less than half a dozen male
roles have gone to the credit of the
French genius. She was seen in this
| country in three, being a superb

1t is related of Bernhard that when
she was training for her appearance
In Rostand's 'L'Aiglon" that she wore
nothing but mems clothes for, many
months so as to get herself thorough
ly Infatuated to them, and those who
saw the graceful ease with which she
wore the coat, trousers and boots of
the unfortunate son of the great Napo-
leon can readily believe the story
In Paris Bernhardt has enacted the
title role in de Masset's "Lorenzac-
cio." But this by no means exhausts
her ambition. She is anxious to play
the role of Romeo" just as soon as a
great actress can be obtained to play
| Juliet" in French. @,".
For a long time Bernhard has been
anxious to try her talents in the role
of "Mephistopheles,'' and only the
difficulty of getting the kind Of ar
rangement of the play she wanted has
| deferred this curious experiment.
| A whole row of "Rosalinds'' and
'Violas' may explain how, to some
extent, women get the ambition to
wear the masculine clothing.
These roles were naturally in the
repertoire of every serious actress of
generation ago, and they survive to-
day among the favorites of actresses
who still retain preference for the
classics. .--.-l
They are not; strictly speaking mas
culine roles, for, the principal figure
| is woman masQuerading as man,
and the audience knows at all times
that it is not out of the secret of the
| real sex of the performer
But an experience in these parts
nearly always has the effect of in
spring the brilliant and intellectual
actress to further efforts in the same
line. =.

he named the spot where he believed
he had dropped it, with the number Of
