upon the world with'her fine dra

art of acting in one language, how
much . more difficult must It be
to acquire -fame la the mimic art

Kalich. ; -. " :
Versatile, as ahe is in different
languages, she Is no less versatile
in the various' phases of her hls

Kalich Is Atragedienna of the

genius - as a tragedienne - because
the American stage does not culti
vate. tragedy. ; "'. . "
-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

Bnt Rertha Kalich can be both
the personification of meter in the
classical traeedv and the whirl-

bec&qse she can master emotions
and feelings of Jioth types of
drama.
She ran play wifh enviable

heart. She Is, in fact, a skillful
virtuoso on the entire gamut of
human emotions of gloom and
joy, sadness and delight, depres
sion and enthusiasm, vivid hone
and unavailing or bitter respair:
of melodious song, and moving
lamentation. She has them all.
Every vibration of. life finds an
echo in her. heart and nothing hu

ment of an actress were a watch
to'one another, then Kalich's fate
and her past are a thorough match
to her astistic temperament. Born
a Gallcian. on the border of Polish
and German civilization, she went,
while 'but a girl of seventeen to
Romanian drama. Before she was
twenty, she was Polish, German,
Romanian and Jewish' at one and
the same time and instead of be
coming confused by this appalling
mixture of tongues "and life and
forms of life and literature, she
discovered the rhythm and indi
viduality of each and could play
the characters of all four peoples.
While acting in Bucharest, in the
midst of a Latin civilization, she
was by mere chance drawn to
New York, or to be more precise
to the New York Chetto. ,

The average nlayer Is a mere de

quite willing to admit that her
part ia pretty bad, but that it is
rescued from the ignominy of

is not that kind of an actress. She
is not a player of parts. She is a

to appear in a role unless it ap
