ae * s Miss Tempest Is Satisfied She Hasn’t Put Her Bare Foot in It—She Finds that ‘‘The Free- dom of Suzanne” Goes Even Better Here than It Did in London—Laughter That Greeted Men- tion of the Continental Surprised Her. ie 7; © you think they were shocked?” Marie Tempest cocked a glance at me and bilnked anxiously, D “No, I'm quite sure they weren't,” she chirped on, when as- t / ured that a pretty foot,.no. matter how small, covers a multi- nde of improprieties. “There's really nothing to be shocked at, now is there? It’s more of a surprise than a shook, I imagine, when my stocking comes off. That's the way it was in\London, 1 thought about it e lot be- before pufting it on, or rather taking it off, there. The Non-Confommist con- solence fe very strong in England, you know, Hypocrites?” For answer the Tempest nose perkediiteelt in the air, and I thought {Beard a litte sniff of contempt, “An extraordinary thing happened:one night when the play had been running about two weeks. I had just finished relating Suzanne's adven- tures in the first act when a gentleman, who had evidently dined too well, rose in a box and completely fummixed me by saying, ‘I deshire to say that thish fs the most disgraceful play I have ever witnessed,’ He had to he taken out of the theatre, He was in the wrong one anyway. I after- ward heard he thought he was seeing ‘The Wife Without a Smile’ An- other performance was interrupted by a woman, who gave a wild whoop at seeing my stocking pulled off. She became hysterical and had to be led out of the theatre, Some people take things so hard!” a a a * - HAT’S the way Miss Tempest took her sea trip. "I haveu’t got settled yet," une said, “I feel ke huttlecook, No one dolleved that Mr, Frohman would interrupt a run to send ‘os over here for four weeks, But he 414, /and here we are, I suppose if he told me to go to Timbuotoo I'd get on a boat and go without asking any questions. There were no words wasted on the arrangements for this trip; Mr, Frohman came to me one day and said, ‘Will you go to New York for four weoks?’ I said ‘Yes,’ and began to pack, J had about » day’s notice, I didn't know until 1 went to my banker's here who was going to fill in the time at the Oriterion while we.are away.

I expect to have one next season, It will probably be a complex character, for the author ts certainly a complex man, pa} a a o rd rd ry rT} Bs no {dea ‘The Mreedom of Suzanne’ would go here as well as I {t bas," sald Miss Tempest. “It went even better last night than it id in London. I was surprised to see how all the points were ap- fated, most of all when the men Jaughed at the mention of the Con- tinental Hotel, Thoy had evidently beén there, The New York man knows hia way about, you may be sure of that. It was awfully funny, that laughter from men only, It's always that way in London, too. The men laugh, while the women sit in more or leas righteous silence. You know, the Continental is a place—well, you could go there, but I couldn't.” Miss Tempest smiled sweetly over her nice way of putting it, then re- turned tu New York and her fret night, “I was rather afraid I would have a hard time making the piece go. But {t went much better than ‘The Marriage bf Kitty.’ There were times during my last engagement here when 1 could hardly keep the audience alive, But every one was eo nice and helpful this time! A lively play Js a big help.’ By the way, what a dreary lot of plays you're having here, Daar me, I went to a play called’—— but 1'll spare the name, “and came away almost ill.
