No, it should have been givea at special matinees with a foreign actress. If this had been done it would have been proclaimed a great play, and the actress lauded as a wonderful genius.” Lackily this shot went a little wide, and I secretly congratulated myself upon the fact that I, for one, had not lost my bead over a certain foreign genius. “But arent you happy as Btella de Gex?” draw her away from poor Mrs. Jones. “Oh, yes,” she said, “it's great fun, of course, playing a silly role of this sort, but it seems less worth while.

Shaw, I think, has made them ready for Marshall.’ A highly amused audience only a few moments before had given its opinion in three or four curtain calls to the delightful Stella, and as usual Miss Barrymore had acted like a frightened child. “I have been trying for years,” she said, “to cultivate a curtain ca¥ manner, but {t's always the same.
