Show 1 POWER OF ACTING Charles Bregg, in the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, says; "Of all the producers pro-ducers of Ibsen's plays Mrs. Fiske easily stands first, and this season, in Rosinersholm, she has put tho cap sheaf upon her labors in this direction. For the first time she makes an Ibsen play thrilling. Mrs. Fiskc. with her present company, proves that properly interpreted inter-preted these plays may be made vivid and immediately appealing to a vast number of theatergoers. Certainly this performance of Rosinersholm proves conclusively that if wc can have Ibsen proporly acted lliere will bo no longer any doubt as to his power. One company com-pany strong euoufh to play Ibsen intelligently in-telligently will lift tho public mind to a plane of intellectual activity that no other current theatrical amusement ontsido of Shakespeare can acconi- j plish. The playing of the rolo of Re- i becca West is invested by Mrs. Fiske with all the psychic power for which this actress is famous. I question if there is another Englisli-spcaking ac- j tress today who puts so much into a character, "or, by the same token, gets so much out oi it." |
