HIS is the story of a tragedienne whose life was one long tragedy; the story of a heartbreaker whose own heart was broken. She was Adrienne Lecouvreur, greatest actress of her day and heroine j of several plays and an opera that bears her name, | Adrienne began life as a laundress in Paris. Her father was a poor hatter. As a little girl she learned to act, and at fourteen joined a road company. It was at Lille, France, that she had her first recorded fove affair. A young baron, officer in a regiment garrisoned there, fell in love with her, They became engaged. He died. And in the first wildness of her grief Adrienne tried to kill herself. Later she won the heart of Phil ippe Le Ray, a nobleman; but she dropped him for an obscure actor named | Clavel. She and Clavel were engaged ‘and were soon to be married, She wrote to him: “I swear to you a constancy proof against all things. But your inter- ests are dearer to me than my own. Follow the course that is pleasantest | to you.” Clavel followed it. It led tim to jilt her for another women. For months Adrienne was almost beside herself with grief. Then she met the Count de Kiinglin. He proposed to her and was accepted. But on the eve of the wedding Gay he threw her over for an hefress. This latest dlow closed Adrienne’s heart for years against love. Ghe came to Parts in 1717, when she wae twenty-five, and Joined the Comedie Francaise company. Her real career now began. @he was hailed as the most wonderful tragedienne that had ever Hved. Untfl her death she remained the foremost actress on the stage. Paris went wild over her, The ‘highest soclety welcomed her. Duchesses vied for the honor of her acquatnt- ance. Scores of noblemen were madly in love with her, But to her eulters’ vows Adrienne had but one reply: tafesk ME My “Love is a folly which I detest.” as 1 Ry Pe ds ad Bitter experience had wrecked her happiness, and none of her countless wé- mirers could win a smile from her. Voltetre loved her. So did 4’Argenthal end many of the greatest men of the age, But to all she was cold, she ruled as the actress queen-of-hearts; but her own heart seemed dead. Then, in 1721, Maurice, Compte de Saxe, came to Paris, He came fresh front spectacular war triumphs—a giant in stature, handsome, lionlike, magnificent. He laid siege to Adrienne and her heart awoke. She adored Saxe, He was the real love of her life. Under her influence he changed from a mere dashing ao!- Mer into @ hero, It was Adrienne who advised and helped him in @ thousand ways as he mounted higher and higher on fame's ladder. Once, to finance an enterprise of his, she sold all her jewels and plate. Saxe repaid her devotion by fnfidelty and by brutal Jealousy. After ome of his Jealous fits she wrote: ‘I am worn out by grief, I have wept all this livelong night. I am suspected, Iam accused, How can I endure cruelty that 1a so little deserved?” Yet for all his unfaithfulness Saxe loved her. When the powerful Duchess 40 Bouillon sought to win him from Adrienne he laughed in the Duchess's face, She then plotted to polson Adrienne, The plot was discovered. But soon after- ward, in 179, Adienne fell victim to a mortal illness, And the Duchess of Boutllon was suspected of having at last succeeded in her criminal plans, Adrienne Lecouvreur was dying. According to the lawe of those days au ‘actor nor actress could receive Christian burial. The only way to get around this law was for Adrienne to renounce her profession just before death. But when she was urged to “repent and to testify as to her hope in heaven and th God, ehe stretched out her arms to Saxe, who stood weeping at her bedside, Pointing to him she murmured with her last breath: mad “There stands my heaven, my hope, my god!” ' For which “blasphemy” she was denied burial in consecrated ground, and ‘was interred, in quicklime, in an unmarked grave. Cheated by love, cheated by Mfe, she was thus, at the end, cheated of religion's last rites. ie Preparing for Summer.
