" : Versatile, as ahe is in different languages, she Is no less versatile in the various' phases of her hls tronic art. By ; her jrery nature Kalich Is Atragedienna of the classical school."

" -The prevallng realism ia the art of acting has forced Bertha Kalich into path which, if sh bad been. given the liberty of her choosing, she probably , would . not have trodden at all. But while playing modern realistic drama she has1 succeeded in keeping up an envi able height, ;and' connoisseurs, of the art who have seen her play In realistic, drama vand have been pleased by it -would never suspect that primarily she belongs to the great school of classical acting. - Kalich. the tragedienne, who can display solemnity and a grave and edifying dignity -on the- stage, turns Into a live wira, full of ac tion, full of motion' When he ap pears in a part In modern drama. Critics often have aserted that there are two Bertha Kalichest the 'classical actress and the rea listic one. But the latter state ment does not explain the remark- Qie .versaiuuy or tnis great ac tress nor does it bring us a step nearer to an understanding of her personality. -For that matter,twe might assert that there were two Goethes --the poet Goethe and the scientist. But there was only (me Goethe whose mind embraced the two realms, the realm of Imagin ary and that of Ideas. There is likewise, but one Kalich. whose mind embraces .both realms of the mimic art the classical and - the realistic. The secret of Kalich's versatility la that she Is onehnn dred per cent the actress. She can so Imbue herself with the character, no matter- whether" her role Is that of thej classical trage dienne, or of the modern realistic sort.' This presumes, of -course 4 certain quality of the soul a softness and plasticity and Mme. Kalich undoubtedly possesses that. She can, as It were, break her own soul, as the- play on her part de mands, and like the- mythical ghosts who can traverse vast dis tnaces in periods- of no time, so she can alter herself and change to 'fundamentally "different posi tions, without eer denying her own traits, and her own personal ity. This is not 'true of the mertsly classical tragedienne, for he fet ter cannot altogether free herself from a certain formalism to which by her very nature she .is com mitted, and the world that does not vibrate to rhyme and meter must, forever remain a closed book to her. The formalism of classi cal tragedy ibues the tragedienne with a sense of solemnity and dig nity of things, but makes her somewhat rigid in her manner. This rigid manned is one of the characteristic features of classical acting and ja whiolly. opposed -to the elastic mariner of modern, act ing Just as .staifsticaj Is opposed, to IB " ' .''Mi . . . : M1W ...... ; - , v- - : - '!

The average nlayer Is a mere de tachment from her role, and is quite willing to admit that her part ia pretty bad, but that it is rescued from the ignominy of 'bad notices" by the sfciu invest ed in the Interpretation. Kalich is not that kind of an actress. She is not a player of parts. She is a student of humanity. sne is noi a mere puppet of the playwright. but an interpreter of Hie as sne sees it.
