As an exponent of beautiful speech, Mrs. Campbell was charmîngly con- vincing, and her audience istened to the inelodious cadences of her voice r with deligbt. Those Who remember the Divine Sarah found. a special pleasure in hearing Mrs. Campbell's voice, for in its lôwcr registers it bas, a 'richness; and vibrancy that Bernhardt had. As PeUceas in the bit f rom Maeterlinck's draina, this was. particularly noticeable. Mrs. Campfiell played.. Melisande to Bern- hardt's Pelleasfor a tenweeks' tour. Her Mçlisande, however, seemedtin, too. child-like and superficiaI, lacking in, the truc Maeterlinck spirit. Voices. Ph.aing The bigb spots of the evening were ber interpretations of the sleep-walk- ing scene of ýLady* Macbeth's, wbich was beautifully spoken and acted, and ,the sketch froin "The Matriarcb", which sbowed Mrs. Canmpbells strik- ing gift for coxnedy. An actress of the eld sçhool, she made one think of Marlowe, and ber audience was thriled by ber remarkable command of ber voice. The musical rhythm of ber speech, the pure lyricism of the sound of ber voice, made what- .ever she said soothing and pleasing to'the car. There was a little diffi- culty sometimes in understanding what sh e said, because of ber low, conversational tone, whicb seemed to dissolve in the air before it reached her audience. Vocal' control is the basis of the art of acting, and sbould 'be the con- cern of even those who are not actors, said Mrs. Campbell,.and she paid. a tribute to the great beauty of Bernhardt's voice.
