With the Ibsen atmosphere blown away and revealing her as a coquetishly disposed Wife hi the familiar triangle at RnrnnAAtv. jfrumi' wnethor lt'be com edy or traaedv. Alia Naslmova closed her Portland engagement last mgni in 'Comtesse Coquette." a comedy by Rob erto Bracco. As a vehicle It made com paratively little demand upon Tsaiuno va's powers. But It 'showed her as a re markably clever comedienne, - possessed of many delightfully novel and enter taining stags tricks. Naslmova was amusing last night ana fascinating always, but she fell short of arousing that intense Interest that suri rounds her portrayals of .Nora and eo da. It was a noticeable let-down. We laughed at her and were attracted b; her last evenlns-.' but the electric tiirll that was inseparable from both of her Ibsen roles was missing. "The Comtesse Coquette" is entertain ing and has some features of original ity. Bracco has been called- the Clyde Fitch of Italy. His dialogue Is at times Fitchlan but his action Is not. He has conceived the situation of a woman dar Inn a man to temnt her. This! s a capi tal feniinihe trick and of course places the gallant "in a position where he is unable to nroceed with his well-laid plans of attack. His embarrassment is gorgeous and inevitable. Naslmova sits there In his apartments, demurely wait ing for him to proceed. He stands awk wardly plucking at the back of his chair unable to stammer out anything. The play is based upon a remarK or the Comtesse that "Your true coquette dares all but rarely succumbs." It has its' share of smart talk with which all continental comedy must abound. For instance the comtesse remarks that One never has the feeling or being alone when In evening dress," that I married you because I loved you If that is a virtue then I am virtuous. They call me Comtesse Coquette. Well. I am. The flirtations or a married woman are the safety valves of her virtue." Small talk, you see. but of su?h is the kingdom of comedy. ' . In strong contrast' to the two Ibsen flays the . stage settings. and the cos umes worn by Naslmova were unusu ally elaborate. 'There were three acts to the, play and each was a gem, Inso far as stage settings and general em bellishments went "Comtesse Coquette", was the talklest. prettiest, most laugh- able and most ephemereal of the plays given by Naslmova, - ' DDDDDDODDOODDI mm SPECIAL!
