4 BLANCHEWALSH O “TOLSTOI’S LATEST + ctres: ‘Who Plays the Heroine in ‘“Resurrec- “tion” Tells Her Views of Maslova and How it Seems to Portray Such a Hideous Char- acter. S Whe varied and more or less argumentative discussions concerning ‘Resurrec in,” the dramatization of Tolstol’s story now running at the Victoria, eug- fan inquiry on the part of The Evening World as to Miss Walsh's personal concerning the central charaoter of Maslova. Two leading questions were asked her. The first was whether she considered ‘Gharacter of Maslova consistent, logical, probable; whether she believed a n would be likely to act as Masiova acts, especially in the end. The second 4f she would describe her sensations while portraying the drunken, dograded per and how she felt about sacrificing her beauty and the love of the beauti- @0ch a role. Her reply is characteristic and not without forve, and is here ied: . BY BLANCHE WALSH. Whe questions you have asked of mo I have already put to myself many, times, not since playing the part, for once portrayed in public the Is prone to look upon a role much as the painter looks upon his Punished canyas—he no longer, I imagine, concerns himself with the ethics Mf his gubject, but only endeavors to perfect the technical execution. When first ead the book I put it down with a feeling of dejection engendered its @ppalling truth, the truth which burns in and in, the truth which forgotten, although it may be ignored; a tendency which has erited by perhaps every descendant of our first progenitors. ‘ ST AN ORDINARY WOMAN. Whicther or not the delineation of Maslova’s character 1s consistent, log- or probable depends upon our conclusion as to what extent she is human to what extent theatrical. The letter contingency is rather remote, for ings ‘theatrical appeal almost enirely to our superficial emotions. The of opinion regarding Maslova, however—and Maslova is more or ‘the play—is that she makes ono think, a plea in itself for tne human ition. - Being human and a woman, a very ordinary woman, whose emotions physical rather than intellectual, she was largely, if not entirely, the of circumstance and asaociation. ‘Zhe best that was in her was developed by love and the world's kindness, worst in her was developed not by her own ain, of which she wouid Pepented soon enough, had she not been found out, but by the inexorable ‘goclal law, which, as Masiova says, ‘will not let @ woman of her clase * end which yields no forgiveness, 3 hardened and catioused, and compensation comes in the form clgarettes and debauchery. Men are her prey, her natural prey, be- man who shared her ein, or rather whose iustful nature caused her Committed a crime which brought him no subsequent dishonor—society d him, but not her. fyes, it is all logical and consistent enough, too terribly logical. ‘An fPolsto! says, all you do to the woman Is to “punish, punish, punish, but n ‘anther way,” and he points out that way in supposing an individual like trl; who has a corsclence that can be awakened.

I think it te distinctly im- for it can be by the merest chance that the libertine meets his victim tri meets Maglova, and ‘t is not probable that the average man will the redemption of that victim any part of his duty, _improbable as it is, however, it is a hopeful sign in these egoistical materi- days of ours, that there is at least one man, and he is a great man, who even a possible case. _ Axid why should not @ woman act as Masiova acts in the end?
