" "How Critics Agree" might be the in
terestlng title to an article combining
recent opinions of Olga Nethersole ex
pressed In the Chicago News by Amy
. Leslie and in the Record. Herald ' by
james o uonneil Bennett.
. -Says" Miss Leslie:
.; ""Olga NethersoJe has been cloying the
restless, ears hungry for extravagant
emotion and rather rousing her least en
thusiastic admirers to considerable sur
prise by a certain subdued and more en
. durable suppression of her hitherto most
violent extravagances. Miss Nethersole

Iier tawny hair swep the air or floor

and Olga Is still handsome and noisy,
but not so amazingly so as she was ten
years ago.
, f "She does the separation scene from
,- tier tabooed and ardent "Sapho" and she
. friops the stage as of yore, but does it
.valiantly and with much stanch force
and emotional abandon. The majestic
Kenny is attractive and appealing and.
If she Is gymnastic at times and grovel
ing, it mufet be confessed she is much
less so than she was when Miss Nether
vole bore down upon us with the police
jon her trail."
Says Mr. Bennett:
I Half an hour's exhibition of Miss
Nethersole's acting provides sufficient
v, opportunity to estimate the present
state of her powers, and those powers
reinad.-known in sH -therr abundance
nd all their error In the third act the
tone she presents in vaudeville of "Sa
ho." Fanny, long apprehensive lest
her mature fascinations shall pall upon
her young lover, learns at last that such
:1s the case, and she is torn between fury
and abject woe.
; "In illustrating this conflict Miss
Nethersole pulls the throttle wide. She
Churls herself upon Jean, she grovels, she
paws and she mauls, releasing simul
taneously a copious stream of the vitu
peration of a strumpet and the shrill
heroics of a playactress. The tragic
.conflict is reduced to the level of a
. tussle, but power of a kind, undeniably
Is brought to bear. There is. indeed,
jenormous power, but no leash. Conse
quently the effect is murky, excessive
nd horribly gross, for that effect is
created not by emotional depiction but
y emotional riot. The pathos and the
.gTlmness of Fanny's plight are lost in
fanny's gyrations and. Fanny's vocal
splurge. The physical abandon of the
.actress becomes almost maniacal, but no
note of spiritual anguish reaches the
in uis uenoiaer or so much stress
and so much struggle. It is not acting
mo much as It is an emotional bout and
.there Is no poignancy in in only the
wrath and balked desire of a wild ani
mal. Miss Nethersole does not in this
scene mirror the emotions; she pumps
them up. The arm that moves the han
dle is strong and the gush from the
;spout deluges the place."
