the title part Of Emile Moreau's latest
play. La Refine Elizabeth
By the miracle OF her art, by the prodi-
gies OF her Will. her dramatic insight, al
the age OF GO this incompara BILE actress
conquered the difficulties of the most
trying role showing herself now as IL pa
trlotic heroine. now as loving woman,
later as an avenging spirit and at the
very end as Il distracted, dying but in
domitablc queen.
After each of the four acts the house
checred and cheered her to the echo, re-
calling her dozen times and raining
flowers at her feet
Essex and Elizabeth. In the opening act
ElIzabcth discovers that Essex has be-
trayed her for Lady Howard. her con-
tidantc. The third act shows how, be-
Essex TO be executed, because he has
not sent her the ring she gave him
promising that if she received II she
would pardon him, In the last act, when
never delivered, the queen died royalty
falling face forward from her throne
onto a couch below.
AT the close OF the second act Nine
Bernhardr moved many to tears, In the
third act she completely TRANSFORMED
herself. changing her voice. her look and
almost her appearance.
Emile MORGAN has devised an impress
sive and stirring drama, which needs
only the excison OF some tedious and
quite needless scenes to be most efiec.
tive The conformation OF Lady Howard
and Elizabeth as both were dying In The
final act was wonderfully effective. The
stage pictures were OF rare and unusua
beauty.
