To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Her method in art is as yet imperfect. The demon- strations of passion are confined to low and emphasized speech, with an accompaniment of appropriate gesture. She has yet to learn that hurried and breathless accents and sharp incisive pro- nunciation of words are as powerful means of expressing sorrow or fear as those to which she confines herself Her acting, accord- ingly, fine as it was, wanted variety. Some movements of her body were over sinuous, a few of her notes were too loud as too s...us- tained, and her transition from tragic grandeur to girlish prettiness of speech and face was too sudden. A tendency to over attitudiniz- ing was also displayed. Here censure ends. In the most im- portant respects the impersonation was finest. It had true tragic fire. Some of the attitudes of Miss Neilson were full of grandeur ; her utterance was musical and impressive, and her face assumed at times a look full of awe and tragic portent. The delivery of some passages had, moreover, very subtle significance.
