reminiscences of Hazel Klrke She is tho girlish saint who easily reforms a wild brother and makes over one who is a priggish sneak through the Icve they both bear her She loves the wild one whom she

the Republic theater and her managers George Tylers pockets to bulging Tall lithe melancholy dark almost to the gypsy point she exercises a subtle fascination as Magda The Second Mrs Tanqueray and The Notorious Mrs Ebbsmith Just a shade less than great she is an artiste of delicacy intelligence and a restrained power If there be anything lacking in Mrs Campbell it is the fault of her Maker who omitted a largess of temperament There is nothing that unremitting study and observation may do that Mrs Campbell has not done for herself her-self and her audiences Her acting is as refined and finished as satisfying to every aesthetic need as a bit of muster mosaic It is not Mrs Campbells fault that she docs not squeeze the tears from umUlllng eyes and wrench hard hearts to bleeding as turbulent Mrs Leslie Carter Is doing at the Criterion two blocks further uptown As The Right of Way explains we cannot be blamed If something was left out of us when we were made and if Mrs Campbell was not made after the fashion fash-ion of a human tornado that hurls every obstacle from her path and storms and rages her way to success as does the only Mrs Carter we should not blame Mrs Campbell

milliners shop to Versailles Ver-sailles when she would have much preferred l pre-ferred to go picking violets in the fields with the man she had chosen Her betrothed a soldier is Jealous when he hears of the Kings admiration admira-tion and quarrels with and leaves her In pique she goes to the court hoping womanlike that he will then be sorry Her lovercomes to the court to kill the King She hides him In her own apartment and when he would reveal himself to the King strikes him upon a wound received from tire guard and he faints The King dies and Du Barry is guillotined by tho Revolutionists Revolution-ists Her love for the soldier Is the one lovable trait t In her character Daid Belasco has provided three strong scenes for hertoo strong for any American but a Carter One Is her meeting with the soldier in her bedchamber at Versailles another when tho King forces her to betray his presence on promise that his life shall be spared the last when she is in prison and learns that she must die All of the vital creatures love l of life comes back to her Her screams cut the air of the prison They do not cease until her soldier lover l comes to her and promises to be near her at the guillotine guillo-tine Then she says I will be brave if I can only look at you The last scene shows her on her way to the guillotine The mob shrieks Its hatred and she cowers beside a priest craven again but quiet Are you afraid 1 screams the mob Yes she answers in a low voice I am afraid A servant who has been the compan ion of her fortunes since she left the milliner shop falls weeping at her feet Her lover bids her farewell The cart moves on The mob groans in derision and the curtain falls Gertrude Atherton says bravely that Mrs Carter is the only American actress who has
