Poor girl! it is not her fault if she believes herself to be a great actress.

Brought up under misleading conditions, and without any but the most elementary education, how is she to know what the real thing means?
She finds herself the rage within a few weeks of her appearance in the greatest city of the world.
Naturally, she pays no heed to her critics,--why should she?
'And she is indeed a most perplexing mixture.

Do what I will I cannot harmonise all my different impressions of her.

Let me begin again.

Why is it that her acting is so poor?
I never saw a more dramatic personality! Everything that she says or does is said or done with a warmth, a force, a vivacity that make her smallest gesture and her lightest tone impress themselves upon you.
