to play the role of CIarice Burton In "The
Black Domino" at salary Of fS week.
The play was badly reviewed, and the
Messrs. Gatti attributed the failure in
great part to me, saying that my voice
was weak, my gestures were ineffective,
and nothing l said or did "got over the
footlights." They gave me fortnight's
notice. 1t was a most tragic moment for
me; money was urgently needed. my ILL
ness having cost so much-my children
had to be properly cared for, and the load
of debt to the doctor and chemist had to
be lifted. Circumstances were fiercely
against me, but it will be seen Fate lent
a hand to fight for me.
On a certain evening Mrs. Alexander
and Graham Robertson came to the Adel-
phi Theater. Mrs. Alexander knew that
her husband was searching for an actress
to play the part in Mr.. Pinero's new play,
"The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" 1t may
have been chance that sent these two to
the play that night, or Mrs. Alexander
may have read in the paper that was
beautiful and had a rare distinction,
elegance and power" U always thought
myself scraggy and plain, this l cannot
say But in spite OF my weak voice" and
feeble gestures" what is called person
atty, or my looks, or some histrionic
talent I possessed came across the foot
lights, and sent these two back to Mrs.
Alexander and Mr.. Pinero to tell them
that an actress exactly suited to the new
role was playing at the Adelphi Theater.
And so 1t came about that Mr.. Alexan-
der made an appointment for me to see
both him and Mr.. Pinero.
think my will and my resolution we're
strengthened by the bitterness of my dis
appointment at having received my notice
at the Adelphi. ] know / dressed care
fully. / remember only my little yellow
straw bonnet trimmed with cherries and
a narrow black velvet ribbon under my
chin tied under my left ear, with long,
narrow ends accentuating the length of
my neck.
No doubt there was something strange
and elusive about me owing to my Italian
strain, the Wilderness of my face and the
mixture of fearlessness and fragility.
In those days every woman hid her
throat in folds of ecru net in the fashion
of the lovely Marchioness of CRANKY. or
In linen collar. My throat was always

done in the way of theatrical work Mr..
Pinero read the part of Paula to me. He
began at the famous moment when Paula
enters after Mr.. TdnQuerdy's farewell

shattered me, unless at the moment my
spirits were high enough to give me the
courage to unflinchingly go one better.
Perhaps my youth, my lack of profess
sional tricks and my disposition to laugh
and say funny things endeared me to the
