brought to an end the term of
her school and will sail on
Saturday for a stay of three months in
Europe. Nine. Guilbert is, as usual.
accompanied by number of her
pupils who have won this privilege by
their industry during a two years
course. They will visit not only Lon
don and Paris but Holland and Bel
gium, and will go to Munich especially
to see the museum OF art there.
But Nine. Guilbert will not devote
all her time to the cultural develop
ment of the young women under her
charge. She will produce in Paris
"Guibour," which she has given so
often here, and will probably act the
old morality also in London with the
American actresses under her care
with Elizabeth Moffatt in the leading
role. Nine. Guilbert will, as usual, ap-
pear as Nine. Renuud.
1t is on her return, however. that
she will make the most interesting
theatrical experiments of her season.
She will produce in English Moliere's
THE Misanthrope" as her contribution
to the Moliere centenary. In this per-
formance Nine. Guilbert will have the
assistance of well known actors who
will appear under her direction.
''Then am in negotiation with three
managers" Mime. Guilbert said to the re-
porter for THE NEW YORK HERALD, in
order to establish an American theater
In Paris for several months every year
The season would be In the summer
when there are no calls on the tiNs OF
the actors over here. The most success
| fu American plays OF the New York
season would be acted. and / am sure
/ they would be appreciated In Paris, as
/ some OF them have already been played
4 In France with success. That is another
matter which l may arrange while am
abroad"
Nine. Gullbert is intensely Interested
| In the theater. She sees all the I'm
/ portant performances Of the winter. So
! there could be no better judge OF the ma
/ tive works that should appeal TO the
taste of Paris. The distinguished singer
has some theories OF her own about the
/
day put into practice. They Will cer-
tainly be most interesting since there
are few such profound students OF the
theaters art as Nine. Guilbert.

The ever readiness Of the younger
generation of actresses is illustrated BY

life IL happened that the study OF music

OF ITO the Ladies!" planned that comedy
they included two songs--both of them
according to the scenario. TO be played

"Of course you play the piano?" they
asked the actress when the play was

IL was then only two weeks before the
\ first rehearsal. but Miss Hayes never

"Oh. certainly she replied.
