After triumphant appear- ances on the other side of the Atlan- tice she came to America in October 1923, and under the management of Morris Gest, played in New York, Boston and Philadelphia. She was generously acclaimed by thousands of admirers, and under the management of the Selwyns and For- tune Dallo, extended her tour to take in every section of the United States. Her condition was such that she played only once or twice a week. Beginning at New Orleans, Madame Duse appeared in the southwest and later on the Pacific coast and in the middlewest. Eleonora Duse, famous Italian tragedienne, emerged from fifteen years’ retirement as an actress at Turin, Italy, on May 6, 1921, by ap- pearing in Ibsen’s “Lady of the Sea.”" Her reappearance in public was the signal for an enthusiastic greeting from a distinguished audience which showered here with roses am#d fran- tie chers for Italy, “La Duse,” as she was popularly known, and for Ga- briel d’Annunzio, former poet-dicta- tor of Flume, who wrote. several plays for her.
