cepted that It, was Mrs. Campbell whom
BurneJones painted when he created his
marvellous masterpiece.
But now Mrs. Campbell breaks her silence
and we know the truth; an interesting
truth 1t is indeed. She did not pose for
THE Vampire" Still she was intimately
associated with it. For she loaned the
artist her nightgown to use as drapery
for his model! This is what she says about
it later on.
During my first visit to America and
while I still was In Chicago, where I had
first appeared before the American public,
Sir Philip brought his interesting picture
The Vampire to show 1t to me. 1t had
created great stir in England, but 1 had
never seen 1t.
"The papers both abroad and in Amer
lea said that I had sat for this picture;
that l was vampire, and that Mr.. Kipling
had written his poem to me- And there
was all sort of gossip, to which i paid no
attention, and which connected me In vari
GUS ways with such situations as one nat
urally would expect to surround a real
vampire.
II was delighted by the compliment Sir
Philip paid me in bringing his picture to
America to exhibit it in Chicago just be-
cause was playing there. I had seen
many sketches of The Vampire 1t is
true. These were in letters which Sir
Philip had written me asking me what
thought of his idea. In one of these let
ters he asked me how / thought vampire
ought to be dressed AS the best answer
could make to this question sent him my
night gown. 1t was very beautiful gown
which had bought from Miss Granville,
who was my understudy at the st. James
Theater in London. Sir Philip, l under
stood, had accepted my suggestion and had
draped his model in the night gown"
And It is thus that Mrs. Campbell dis
poses Of another interesting mystery as
sociated with her past. However, we do
have left out of this intriguing situation
the unique information that while 1t was
not Mrs. Campbell herself whom Sir Philip
pictured in his famous painting, he did
betray to us Mrs. Campbells taste in night
gowns.
There is no doubt that many piquant
episodes in intimate histories Of different
times might have had no more foundation
that this general belief that Mrs. Campbell
was the model and not merely the outfitter.
Incidentally there has always been some
curiosity as to whether 1t was Sir Philip
Burne-Jones or his brother Edward who
was most interested In Mrs. Campbell dur
ing her reign as England's most popular
woman. Perhaps in this connection 1t is
not amss to reveal the following letter,
one Of many, which Mrs. Campbell includes
in her memoirs, which she received from
The New York herald., 1922-05-07

ally accepted as true wherever tue
new picture was discussed that Mrs.
Campbell was the model. British society
recalled the sensations of a few years
before when the verses of kipling
were published and Mrs. Campbelrs
name was associated with them. Now
IL all seemed to be Strengthened out.
"Kipling had chosen the best example OF
The vampire as the one to whom to ad-
dress his verses. Burne-Jones naturally
had chosen the same beautiful woman as
the model and inspiration for his painted
version of the subject"
Tongues wagged fast and furiousiy.
what was 1t that Kipling knew about MRS.
Campbell that had inspired such an EMU
sion? How did Burne-Jones know that to
properly depict the vampire whom kipifng
had pictured in poetry he must choose MRS
Campbell for his model?'
These were the questions London asked
and Mrs. Campbell rose to new heights or
popularity and around her there was woven
a new glamour of mystery. No one knew
of course. OF anything in her life that
should have furnished such inspirations.
And vet the beauty in London is ever
mysterious and every one was sure that
there must have been some foundation for
such distinction.
Mrs. Campbell, the artist and poet all
remained silent And so the tradition grew.
And until now II has generally been ac-

EDWARD BURNE-JoNEs."
And now as to still another mystery
which Mira Campbell solves.
She once made a memorable trip to Ber-
lin to present there her repertoire of plays.
Her leading man was Forbes Robertson,
who was later knighted by King Edward.
Her plays included Hamlet" Macbeth"
and THE Second Mrs. Tanqueray." 1t
was said that her visit to Berlin was the
direct result of an invitation by Emperor
William. One may well imagine that the
Emperor, having heard a great deal of this
regnant British beauty, would want very
much to be her host.
Great preparations were made for this
invasion Of the German theatrical field 1t
was one of the first pretentious English
tai Berlin seemed to know that the Eng.
lish actress was coming really as a guest
of the ruler.
Mrs. Campbell was received at the sta
tion by number OF distinguished German
officials as we'll as representatives of the
British Diplomatic Corps She was es-
corted in great state to the same apart
ments in the most fashionable Berlin hotel
which had been occupied by the suite of
the Prince of Wales during his visit to
Berlin. Immediately after she reached her
hotel she was whisked away to Potsdam,
where the Emperor waited to receive her.
Her first play was "The Second Mrs.
Tanqueray." Every seat in the theater had
been sold weeks in advance. 1t was gener.
