he was associated had been labeled
for years with the Commercial"
brand. he had an ambition to asso-
ciate the profession with something
really esthetic. The pageant idea
had suddenly come into vogue.
why not give a magnificent
pageant" he said to himself.
One morning he went into
Charles Frohman's office and pr.
the idea up to him, adding that he
thought Miss Adams as Joan of Arc
would provide the proper medium
for such a spectacle. With a quick
wave of the hand and a swift, "All
right" Frohman assented to what
became one OF the most distin-
guished events in the history OF the
American stage.
Schiller's great romantic tragedy,
THE Maid of Orleans" was Sc
lected. In suggesting the battle
heroine OF France, Mr.. Williams
hal touched upon one of Maude
A6ams's great admirations. To her
Joan was the very idealisation Of
all womanhood. Bernhard, Daven-
port and others had tried TO pre-
sent this most appealing OF all
tragedies in the history Of France.

Maude Adams TO revivify and give
the character an nluring inter
probation.
The Maid OF Orleans" was en-
acted on a stupendous scale. Fifteen
hundred supernumeries were en-
ployed. John w. Alexander. the
famous painter. was engaged TO de-
sign the costumes.
Miss Adams concentrated herself
upon the preparation with fidelity
and energy that were little short
OF amazing. One detail will Illus
trate: She had TO appear mounted
several times during the play and
ride at the head OF her charging
army.
This equestrianism gave Charles
Frohman the greatest solicitude.
He greatly feared that she would
be injured in some way, and he
kept cabling from Europe warnings
to her 10 be careful. and TO her
associates who were responsible for
her safety.
Miss Adams, a good horsewoman,
determined TO be better. and for
more than a month she practised
every afternoon at riding
academy in New York. Since the
horse had to move amid changing
armor and IN all the tumult OF

Nor could there be any more
charming comment on Miss Adams

meant to her than to quote her re-
mark that:
Wherever l act. l always feel
that there is one unseen spectator.
James NJ. Barrie
Maude Adams was now the best
beloved of American actresses, and
was, without doubt, the best box
office attraction IN the country.
She had made her way to this emf
hence by an industry and a concen-
tration that were well-nigh in
credible; yet people began TO say,
What marvellous things Charles
Frohman has done for Miss
Adamsl"
As a matter Of fact, the career
of Miss Adams emphasizes what a
very great author once said, which,
summed up, was that neither nature
nor man did anything for any human
being that he could not do for him
self
Miss Adams paid the penalty of
her enormous success by an almost
complete isolation. She conceu-
trsted on her work; all else was
subsidiary.
Charles Frohman had an enor-
nous ambition for Miss Adams. and
that ambition now took form in
what was. perhaps, his most re-
markable achievement in con-
nection with her II was the big
production OF The Maid OF
Orleans" in the Harvard Stadium.

stupendous feat that he recorded
merely whetted his desire for some
thing greater. Now he came to the
point where he projected what was
in many respects Tire most unique
and original of all his efforts. II
was the production OF Rostand's
classic, "Chantecler"
There was a widespread feeling
that he was making a great mis-
take and that he was putting Miss
Adams into role, admirable &C
tress though she was, for which
she was absolutely unsuited But
he said:
'Chanuecler' is a play with a
soul, and the soul OF a play is its
moral This is the secret Of Peter
Pam: this is why Miss Adams IS TO
play the leading part"
Miss Adams was in Chicago when
Frohman bought the play and she
learned that she was to do the title
part. She afterward declared that
this news changed a dull, dreary,
soggy day into one that was bril-
liant and dazzling. ITO play Chan
tecler," she Said, els an honor In
ternational In its glory"
The preparations for the pro-
duction were carried on with the
usual Frohman magnificence. A
huge fortune was spent on il. The
costumes were made in Paris; J. W.
Alexander supervised the scenic
effects.
The casting Of the parts was in
itself an enormous task. FroEman
amused himself BY having what ne
called casting parties" For ex-

tact of a sword.
The Maid OF Orleans" was pre-
sented on the evening of June %.
1909. in the presence of over fifteen
thousand people. A magnificent
and thrilling success, IL proved TO
be the greatest theatrical pageant
ever staged il this country. The
elaborate settings we're handled
mechanically. Forests dissolved
into regal courts; fields melted into
castles. A hidden orchestra played
the superb music of Beethovens
"Eroica."
The first scene showed the maid
OF Domremy wandering in the
twilight with her vision; the last
revealed her dying OF her wounds
at the spring. soon to be buried
under the shields of her captains.
The battle-scene was an inspiring
feature. II had been arranged that
Miss Adams's riding master should
change places with her at the head
OF the charging troops and ride in
the magnificent charge down the
field. When the charge was over
and the stage-manager rushed up
10 congratulate the supposed riding
master on his admirable makeup,
he was surprised 10 hear Miss
Adams's voice emerge from the
armor, asking. How did II go?

it pleased. The irony Of this per-
Torrance was that the proceeds
we're devoted to the Germanlc
Museum at the university, and the
Germans were responsible for the
donors death.
Mr.. Frohman had a magnificent
velum album, containing the COM
plete Photographic record Of the
play, made and sent II to the Ger
man Emperor with an appropriate
inscription.
There is no doubt that Joan Of
Arc was the supreme effort of Miss
Adams's career. When she was
told that Charles Frohman had re-
fused an offer of fifty thousand dol
lars for the motion picture rights.
she said:
"Of course II was refused. This
performance is all poetry and
solemnity.'
The following June. in the Greek
Theatre Of the University OF Cali
fornia, at Berkeley, Miss Adams
made her first and only appearance
as Rosalind in LAS You Like It."
This achievement illustrates the
extraordinary and indefatiga BILE

Miss Adams's career unfolds =
panorama OF artistic and practical
achievement Iequaled IN the life
of any American star. II likewise
reveals a paradox all It's own.
While millions OF peopleGhave seen
and admired her, only a hnadful
know her. The slOofness OF the
woman IN her personal attitude
toward the public represents
Charles Frohman's own ideal OF
what stage artistry and conduct
should be.
This Is expressed in what was
perhaps the greatest epigram ne

Herein he summed the reason
why Miss Adams has been an
elusive and almost mysterious
figure. By tremendous reading
solitary thinking, and extraordinary
personal application, she rose to
her great eminence. With her y

Miss Adams Now came his
whimsical satire. What Every
Woman Knows" Afterward. in
speaking of this play. he said that
he had written II because there
was a Maude Adams in the world"
Then he added. Il could see her
dancing through every page of my
manuscript"
Indeed, What Every Woman
Knows was really written around
Miss Adams. IL was a dramatiza-
tion of the roguish humor and ex-
quisite womanliness that are her
peculiar gifts.
As Maggie Wylie, she created A
character that was a worthy col
league Of Lady Babbie. The role
opposite her. that of John Shand,
the poor Scotch boy who literally
stole knowledge, was extraordi-
narily interesting The play in

humor. He thinks he can do with

the end of the play. Maggie finally
makes her husband laugh when she
tells him:
Il tell you what every woman
knows-that Eve wasn't made from
the rib of Adam, bnt from MS
funnybone."
Curiously enough. in What Every
Woman Knows Miss Adams has a
speech in which she uncOnsciously
defines the one peculiar and elusive
gift which gives her such rare dis
tinction. In the play she is sup
posed to be the girl who has no
charm" OF course. in reality she
is all charm; but. in discussing this
quality with her husbands brothers,
she says.
Charm is the bloom upon a
woman. II you have it, you don't

What Every Woman Knows"
was an enormous success, in which
Richard Bennett, who played John
Shand. shared hOnOrs with the star.

finity between her and Barrie's de-
