The crisis came when Laura travelled alone to Boston to hear Modjeska in "Marie Stuart" and "Macbeth," and upon returning full of enthusiasm, allowed it to be understood that she had a half-formed desire of emulating such an example. A group of lady-deaconesses, headed by the Presbyterian minister, called upon her, with some intention of reasoning and labouring with her.
Professor Morris cleared his throat. "I do not doubt that the infant is safe, Madame. No one would deliberately molest a helpless baby. "She wasn't really a baby," said Modjeska. "Mother calls her that because she was so tiny. She could walk, and talk a little too." "Don't say was!" cried the Princess. "Don't talk as if she was dead!" "No, mother darling, no!" soothed the girl.
Madame Modjeska, who was with the party, presented him with a handsome silk flag. The river at Cincinnati was crowded with excursion boats. A large barge loaded with people, was driven against a pier and was barely saved from sinking with all on board. He made a brief stay in Cincinnati, and continued the voyage accompanied by a boat load of reporters, among whom was also Oliver Byron, the actor.
All the actresses who spoke that night delivered admirable addresses, but no one equaled Madame Modjeska, who delivered exquisitely a speech written, not by herself, but by a friend and countrywoman, on the condition of Polish women under the regime of Russia. We were all charmed as we listened, but none of us dreamed what that address would mean to Modjeska.
"I heard the ease fall out of my pocket when we were coming through the passage." "Then we will get them," said Modjeska. "It will only take a minute. Would you like to come with me, Evelyn?" "Yes, I would!" said Evelyn, who was nervous and wanted to do something. "Hurry!" said the Princess. "I know it is absolutely safe, but I can't bear one of you out of my sight for a moment."
As a boy I had known that he had toured America with Modjeska as Charles, the wrestler, in "As You Like It." Before or after that he had trained John L. Sullivan, the world's champion prize fighter of his day, for one of his most successful fights, and that at a time when Sullivan was unfitted to fight any one.
No doubt some have grappled with this difficulty very cleverly. Modjeska, for instance, Bandmann, Mlle. Béatrice, Marius, Juliette Nesville and the lady who played here as Madame Simon le Bargy. The memory of few goes back to Fechter, and it would hardly be tactful to refer on this topic to several American players.
There was a great demand for tickets for this occasion, as every one seemed anxious to know what kind of speeches our leading women of the stage would make; and the programme offered such magic names as Helena Modjeska, Julia Marlowe, Georgia Cayvan, Clara Morris, and others of equal appeal.
I knew that he was lying and told him so, but he was ready with a tale of time, place and circumstance and brazened it out. In like manner I have been told tales of Mary Anderson and Modjeska and Viola Allen all of them lies. They were the tributes which my gentle friends, male and female, paid to success in their beautiful but risky profession.
It came out that one of the Frohmans wanted to Dramatize the Masterpiece, and it was Rumored that Stuart Robson, Modjeska, Thomas Q. Seabrooke, Maude Adams, Dave Warfield, and Walker Whiteside had been requested to play the Part of Willie. Every morning the Author would get up and say to himself that it could not go on much longer.
