cause he ought not to have risked both a
new play and an artistic new to London
at the same time. Although an English
man, he had not quite grasped the wall of
rivalry presented by the established London
leading ladies" and their cohorts. They
were distinctly not inclined to extend the
glad hand to possible rival, born in Aus.
tria and consecrated by America.
Moreover, the English language spoken
with an accent is not popular in London,
and it took all Of Modjeska's talents to over
come that prejudice in MARY Stuart" She
was too well advised to essay a Shakes
pearean character, despite her rare skill in
the realms of the Bard of Avon and Ellen
Terry.

not of the highest order. Had they been Of
the class of Mrs. Kendall. the matchless
Madge Robertson, who, as Boucicault once
said, could act anything, or Sarah, Bern
hardt. who put the English imitator as Ee-
dora in her pocket the night when the au-
dience literally rose at her as she revealed
all the possibilities Of the character at the
Gaiety Theatre, they would not have arrayed
themselves like craven images in the stalls
of the Haynarket to watch Miss Rigl's every
movement as Nadjezda like kitchen eats

brought pitchers Of ice water with them to

the literal sense was unknown in London in
the eighties.
This glacial atmosphere in the orchestra

affect the performance. The attitude Of the

WHATEVER may have been the motive
w of the disgraceful manifestations that
attended the initial performance of Hartley
Manners's play, "One Night in Rome" in
q London theatre by Miss Laurette Taylor
and her company, that popular actress is
not the first favorite artist, either American
or native English born, to be subjected tn
such indignities. The hostility of the eternal
and internal ''hooligan" fourished no more
than one first night during the Victorian
era, provoked by various causes, ranging
from distaste of the play or performance to
q cabal organized by professional rivalry or
BY resentment against the West End man
ager who had dared to abolish the historic
pit and relegate the patrons of cheap and
excellent places at the rear of the stalls or
orchestra seats to the remote gallery.
During the eighties there were a number
OF first performances in London theatres
which not even the vogue of favorite actors
and actresses of that period could save
from the ''booing'' of blackguards, and of
these at least three occasions stand out in
the memory as peculiarly fragrant
To show that this lack of chivalry and
respect is not always due to insular preju-
nee. one has only to recall the first night
as the Royal Court Theatre, then under
the management of the we'll known London
actors; John Clayton and Arthur Cecil, of
a version Of Murger's "Vie de Boheme,"
BY Dion Boucicault, entitled Mimi" which
had already been acted in New York at
Wallack's Theatre with as much success as
rather mature and artificial performance
Of the fragile heroine would allow. This
perennial subject was revived on Broadway
In later years at the Empire Theatre in the
form Of Bohemia" arranged by Clyde
Fitch, and now fourishes. thanks to Puc-
eini's music, in operatic form as "Boheme."
THE Gallo sentimentality Of the play may
= not have appealed to the pitites at the
Court Theatre, Sloane Square. Certainly
they could have found no reason to quarrel
with the acting Miss Marion Terry, one of
the accomplished sisters Of the more famous
Ellen of that gifted family, was an ideal

The same things in effect were leveled at
Mrs Kendal's domestic virtues ,as the typi-
cal British matron, although in her case only
an idiot would have ventured to dispute her
attainments as an artistic. Yet on the occa-
sion of the first performance of a version

Had he gone in and slugged he would
