With the Ibsen atmosphere blown

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, - '
