Of-stage temperament? Phyllis
Neilson-Terry has not the slightest
trace of it. All such wearing tenden-
cies she drops from her shoulders at
the final fall of the curtain, as she
would a too heavy coat.
And back in her dressing room, with
its bright cretonne walls, she removes
the paint, and shows a clear pink and
white complexion that fairly Outshines
the stage variety. And she is big oh,
very big, calm and lovely of face. One
suspects that she is an athletic young
woman, her bearing IS so natural and
1.-the, and she has a fresh out-Of-doors
atmosphere that seemingly explains
her height, her bright blue eyes and
her unconscious charm.
"Oh," she protested; 81 am very
commonplace. And she pushed back
her blond hair, looking at me in wide
eyed seriousness. And in her very
super commonplacenes she is eXtraor-
binary for the shrek which rings down
the curtain on Miss Trilby O'Terral
puts to sleep the actress part Of Miss
Terry and leaves only a very natural,
and extremely we'll poised and an i'm
perturbably logical young girl.
"You see, acting is so difficult that I
could not possibly continue doing It be-
tween performances. Strong emotions
on the stage really make ones heart
bleed. Great sorrows on the stage make
one weep unless one looks at the foot
lights and make the tears come cas-
ily." She laughed, dabbng at the cream
Jar on the table. THAT Is a very nice
trick for one who has weak eyes. But
really, do not understand what this
emotional life is when one is not play

names are In the cast skinner,
Nat Goodwin, Frederic De Bellevlle,
Robert Warwick but honors since last
Monday have gone not TO them, but to
a new member Of the cast Miss Jose
phine Victor. Miss Nictor's acting is
as fine as anything that has been seen
on Broadway this season, acting in
formed with passion, filled with inward
fire, yet admirably poised and re
strained She makes of the part Of
Valentine De Mornay vital, throb-
bling figure. Technically as we'll as
cmo,ionally Miss Victor is now one Of
the best equipped actresses on the
American stage. In a day when so
many burned out meteors still insist
that they are stars, art such as Miss
Victor's will surely not be long with
out reward.
