To the present generation of Amer
lean playgoers, Nine. Duse is little
known, for it has been many years
since she last appeared on the
American stage. Curiously enough,
it has been the recent exploits of
Gabriel d'Annunzio at Fiume that
have served to recall her to mem
DRY, for the last tragic love story
Of the famous actress and the
equally famous poet is still we'll
remembered. The whole life story
of Nine. Duse has been one of ro-
nance. Her birth occurred on a
railway train between Padua and
Venice, her parents being strolling
Italian players. The child made
her first bow to the public at the
age of three years and had attain
ed considerable fame before she
was out of her teens. She has
made several extensive tours of
America, the first in 1898.
