I find it hard to tell right from wrong, and I find myself beset with tangled wires. O God, I feel that I am ignorant, and fall into many devices. These are strange paths wherein Thou hast set my feet, but I feel that through Thy help, and through great anguish, I am learning!" Mme. Bernhardt and M. Coquelin were playing "L'Aiglon."
"Yes, it was very attentive on the part of Monsieur Coquelin de Voliere, was it not?" "Hush!" said Aramis. "You are walking so heavily you will make the flooring give way." "True," said the musketeer; "this room is above the dome, I think." "And I did not choose it for a fencing-room, I assure you," added the bishop.
Then it fell to his lot to devise an acting part for Coquelin, which in the compass of a single play should allow that great performer to sweep through the whole wide range of his varied and versatile accomplishment. With the figure of Coquelin before him, M. Rostand set earnestly to work.

Ella Shields with her charming typification of "Burlington Bertie from Bow." The other evening as I listened to Irene Franklin, I heard for certain what I had always thought were notes from the magic voice of dear old Fay. Unforgettable Fay. How can one ever say enough about her? I think of Fay along with my single glimpses of Duse, Ada Rehan, Coquelin. You see how I love her, then.
Delasalle are in the Luxembourg; other pictures in the collections Demidoff, Coquelin, Georges Petit, etc. At the Salon des Artistes Français, 1902, this artist exhibited the portrait of M. Constant and the "Roof-Maker."
I am told that Coquelin, in the creation of a part, makes his way slowly, surely, inwards, for the first few weeks of his performance, and that then the thing is finished, to the least intonation or gesture, and can be laid down and taken up at will, without a shade of difference in the interpretation.
I promise you a happy return!" I refused, and finished my performances in London without Coquelin. The average of the receipts was nine thousand francs, and I left London with regret I who had left it with so much pleasure the first time. But London is a city apart; its charm unveils little by little. The first impression for a Frenchman or woman is that of keen suffering, of mortal ennui.
Coquelin, who is one of Regnier's pupils, I believe, has a great deal of Samson's style, although he has retained the essentials of his first master's teaching. As for me, I remember my three professors, Regnier, Provost, and Samson, as though I had heard them only yesterday.
If Sardou suffered through playing the sedulous ape to a histrionic artist, it is no less true that the same practice has been advantageous to M. Edmond Rostand. M. Rostand has shrewdly written for the greatest comedian of the recent generation; and Constant Coquelin was the making of him as a dramatist.
