Mary Thacher Higginson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson: the story of his life, XV: journeys (search)
a chaos of Colonels! I said if it was necessary to patriotism that I should take the credit, I'd do my best. Of his further doings in the French capital, he wrote:— This was the day of the Congres Internationel de Droit des Femmes. . . . Mrs. Howe read a paper in French ... the language seemed to give a clearness and precision to her ideas and kept her from the clouds and she read with much dignity and sweetness. At the Theatre Francais he for the first time saw acting! ... Sarah Bernhardt seemed the legitimate successor of Rachel and Ristori—a blonde Rachel, tall and slender and stately and fearfully ill like her—but oh! such power, such expression by a glance, a whisper, a motion of the hand and such utter absence of the visibly histrionic. Normandy was the next country to be visited, and there Colonel Higginson stayed with friends, going thence to Germany. Le Manier, Penne de Pie near Honfleur, Normandy.

the stock company fashion, travelling companies began to increase in favour, and this meant the growth of a system of booking which put into the hands of a few the power of dictating what amusements the theatregoing Americans, outside of large theatrical centres, could have. The managers throttled the theatres by 1896, when the Theatrical Trust was formed, and though actors rebelled—men like Mansfield, Francis Wilson, Herne, and Joseph Jefferson; though such actresses as Mrs. Fiske and Mme. Bernhardt suffered from their enmity by being debarred from places where the Trust owned the only available theatres—still, the actors finally succumbed one by one, the playwrights listened to their commercial dictators, managers of minor theatres became their henchmen. In such an atmosphere, while in time we got good plays, it was impossible for a serious body of American dramaturgic art to develop. It was thought that if the monopolistic power of the Trust could be broken, all might be well ag

e travail. Even the later books of Mr. James, especially his travels and his essays, show something of this defect. What a quarry of admirable suggestions is, for instance, his essay on Balzac; but how prolix it is, what repetitions, what a want of condensation and method! The same is true; in a degree, of his papers on George Sand and Turgenieff, while other chapters in his French Poets and Novelists are scarcely more than sketches: the paper on the Theatre Francais hardly mentions Sarah Bernhardt; and, indeed, that on Turgenieff says nothing of his masterpiece, Terres Vierges. Through all these essays he shows delicacy, epigram, quickness of touch, penetration; but he lacks symmetry of structure, and steadiness of hand. We can trace in the same book, also, some of the author's limitations as an imaginative artist, since in criticising others a man shows what is wanting in himself. When he says, for instance, that a monarchical society is more available for the novelist than

ms a stage had been arranged, and from this I made my little speech. Then came some beautiful singing by Mrs. Tebbets, with a small orchestral accompaniment, and then was given one act of Tennyson's Princess and Browning's In a Balcony. The place, the performances, and the guests made this a very distinguished occasion. I had gone just before this to see Louisa Cushing's wonderful acting in a French play of the Commune. She possesses great tragic power and reminds one of Duse and of Sarah Bernhardt. I suppose that H. M. H. has written you of his appointment as Professor of Metallurgy, etc., at Columbia College, New York. He and Fannie are much pleased with this, and it is considered a very important step for him. I shall miss him a good deal, but am glad of it for his sake. Michael Anagnos. and I went yesterday to the annual breakfast of the Charity Club. Greece had been made the topic of the day.
