Rachel set sail for America. The

n URING the latter part Of the
nineteenth century there was
y name emblazoned across
the theatrical armament or France
& name that was TO transform the
classic drama into a living flame and
itself burn brightly through the
ages.
The renaissance Of the classic
drama was brought about by an &C.
tress known simply as Rachel-the
daughter Of an itinerant Jewish ped
dler. Rachel had no beauty, no edu-
cation, no l~ightness or charm-none
Of the natural advantages that lead
easily to the stage; but she had the
smothered passion Of her race. its
rich tones OF sorrow and a deep
sympathy and understanding. She
couldn't have told who were Her.
mione or Camille or Helen Of Troy,
but she could make them live on
the stage and fire their marble
classiciSm with reality.
Her childhood was spent in Paris
where she picked up an occasional
sou singing ballads along the boule-
wards. The famous music master,
Choron. heard her one day and, i'm
pressed more by the temperament
than the voice Of the singer, begged
to be allowed to send her for in
struction to the dramatic class OF
Pagnon Saint Aulaire. 1t was he
who finally procured for her an en-
sageTnent at the Theatre Francois.
Rachel made her debut in 1888 as
Camille in Comedies tragic LES
H~oraces." She did not take on i'm.
m~ediately with the French public,
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-03-06

that could not be quiet.
She talked about her old
friends and the old days when
she lived deep in the woods and
climbed the trees like an Indian
girl, and painted her face with
pokeberries, too, and drank
from the cold little spring that
bubbled up at the foot of the
great, gray rock in what they
called the %"little ledge" in her
Wisconsin home.
And no hitter how i'll she
was, or how tired, or how dis
gusted with life she was, she
always laughed at LIES follies,
and sometimes she said she was
like a passenger waiting in the
railroad station for the train to
come and take her home. She
was a dignuied woman and a
proud woman, and me day she
turned her face to the wall and
died, and then her friends sent
her flowers and there was a
funeral, and much fuss. Elabor-
ate arrangements, expensive
coffin. Oh, it was all 50 snowy.
How Aunt Jane would have
rebelled if she had known it.
Why can't we make our
funerals just q noble, dignified,
quiet farewell to a foolish,
stupid life, and not initiate the
follies of life.
