THE revival of Shakespeare Twelfth
Night" with Jane Cowl as Viola,
has given older theatergoers an OPP
portunity TO reminisce on other notable
actresses who have previously played
the role CT Viola.
Usually the old -timer will talk about
Twelfth Night" when he saw julia
Marlowe or Ada Rehan or Marie VAIN
wright or Annie Russell as Viola. The
performance, however, which really
brings a bright look into his eyes as
he recalls 1t now was that Of Adelaide
Nelson.
This actress, daughter of an East
Anglican peasant family. who ran
away, achieved fame and then died, all
in q short period, was one of those
rare women of charm who are destined
always to be remembered by those vino
ever beheld her.
To account her a sort of Victorian
Helen of Troy is the only means Of
explaining the light that comes now
into the eyes of older theatergoers at
mention of Adelaide Nelson's name.
Mention Twelfth Night" and he will

charm of Nelson, looking straight be-
fore him, as If enchanted with a lovely
vision.
To have left this memory behind
her, As years after her death. Adelaide
Nelson must have been not only beau
tiful but also uniquely gifted, for Nell
son made her extraordinary reputa-
ton as Viola with scant Is per-
formances in New York. She first
played the role at the New Fifth Ave-
nue. Theater May Z, 1877, giving nine
performances in all. 4 She then went
to Boston and, pr esumably, other large
cities, before returning to London.
Three years later, in April. 1880, she
appeared at Booths Theater for two
weeks of repertory. during which she
gave Twelfth Night" four times.
The records, however. do tell Of the
splendid triumph she gained in the
play. Being a pert little gamin in an
age of staid rectitude, and wearing
short kits at a time when all womens
clothes swept the floors, her hoydenish
portrayal of the prankish Viola took
New York by storm. Her pictures do
not make her seem as beautiful as

York successes are among the predtc-

New York producer of Strictly Dishon-

Mr.. Pemberton is enthusiastic about
the rebirth of the road, which he sees
as an event of the near future. al

menced," he said. 1T will be gradual,
for one cannot rebuild what has gradu-
ally gone down for the past rs years in
a few weeks or a season. However,
New York producers realize that the re-
building of the road is commencing,
and there is real interest in the the
strical world in the legitimate situa-
ton in the provinces.
The decline OF the road dates back
10 the days when a theatrical monopoly
held. There was no place to go ex-
cept the theater, and producers we're
careless about the caliber Of the pro-
auctions sent beyond the main stem.
The advent of the movies fastened the
decline: turkey shows, with fifth or
sixth rate actors in inferior plays. COM

public, gypped so many times. refused
TO continue to pay for such inferior en-
tertainment and for lack Of support the

they must revive it with the corpora

tional an actress as Helena Modjeska
But she had an unforgettable, impu-

The enduring fame of other Violas
also is founded upon short engage

standards. To-day, when a play is con-

100 consecutive performances, the ST.

Night" in 1898 seems nothing in par

Augustin DAILY sponsored this revival
at his theater February 81, 1893, and
made such stir that it not only ran
81 times, but toured with much acclaim
both in America and in England, and
was brought back into the DAILY Theater
