try has greatly Improved in her acting slnco
her last appeurnnco here, or to Hcnk moro

to her peculiar talents thnn she has heretofore
attempted. Lena Despard Is a cosmojiolitnii
woman, who has prototypes, wo douht not,
in every enpitnl in EuroH). Sho is a strange,
complex mixture of depravity nnd well, not
oxnetly goodness. Sho is nu adventuress
pure and simple, hut raised nlxjvo tho com
mon herd by hvr bewitching bonuty nnd na

elevating in tho play. It is simply n portrayal
of life in tho gay continental world. Lnug
