To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Another Italian player of our own time whom Ameri- 293 The Romance of the American Theatre cans have greatly enjoyed is Eleanora Duse, who was born in 1859 on the border of Piedmont and Lombardy, of a family which, like Salvini's, was of good actor stock.
At the age of thirteen Duse was playing with her par- ents, undergoing hardships which soon impaired her health and stamped her face for all time with that strangely wearied look which makes it at once so sad and so fascinating.
Her first pron...omiced success came at Naples, then she was acclaimed at Milan, and in 1892 she found her- self- with an international reputation by reason of her performances at Viehna and in the principal cities of Europe.
Her American debut was made in 1893 at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, in the role of Camille.
That year London saw her for the first time. Then she was married to Signor Checchi, but the union not proving a happy one, she came again (in 1902) to Amer- ica. Now with especial aptness could she be described as " a lean figure, peculiarly attractive, though scarcely to be called beautiful; a melancholy face with a strangely sweet expression, no longer young, yet possessed of a pale, wistful charm; la femme de trente ans, who has lived and suffered, and who knows that life is fuU of suffering; a woman, without any aggressive self-con- fidence, yet queenly, gentle and subdued in manner." ^ Altogether different from Duse, yet hauntingly rem- iniscent of her, too, is Alia Nazimova, the Russian who ' " Six Modern Women: Psychological Sketches." By Laura Mar- holm Hansson.
