for the fine fervor with which she
tackled difficult part.
Jane Eyre" is difficult. Helen
Jerome, who adapted it to the stage,
obviously found it far more elusive in
the transcription than Pride and
Prejudice" the earlier success which
inspired her current effort. The results
OF her labors are less impressive and
they left Miss Hepburn with consider
able of an interpretative burden on
her shoulders.
Lavish space existed for the unfold
ment of Jane in the novel OF Charlotte
Bronte. Miss Jerome, on her part,
was forced to condense and to con-
serve. Miss Hepburn tried valiantly
to efface the effects of the condensa-
tion. Valance was not quite enough.
X
THERE were moments when it
seemed that something of extraordi-
nary beauty was destined to emerge
from that cocoon of other worldliness
which concealS the character of Jane
as she first appears upon the stage.
When the human being, released by
love for Mr.. Rochester, finally emerges,
however, it turns out to be inferior to
the woman of fire for whom one had
been hoping.
Neither in the writing of the part
nor its portrayal is one led to a great
height from which to see the triumph
woman has made of love and sacrifice
in an indifferent world. Although
Miss Jerome is by profession first a
poet and then dramatist, her finest
speeches lack the singing strength to
vitalize the character of Jane as one
would see it done. Nor does Miss
Hepburn appear to have the voice
