It was, in fact, a forlorn hope.
Perhaps if Miss Amelia Bingham would not select her own plays, she would fare better. She is by no means lacking in histrionic ability.
She has done many good things in her day. But the temptation of the self-made "star" to see nothing but her own part in the drama that she buys, is very acute. A satisfactory _ensemble_, a logical story, a set of plausible characters and a motive are all overlooked.
Her own "personality" is her sole anxiety, and-well, it is not enough. Miss Bingham was assisted by Frederic de Belleville, Frazer Coulter and others less known to fortune and to fame, but "Mademoiselle Marni" was not accepted. It was staged "regardless," but even that fact did not count in its favor.
Miss Bingham's pluck and recklessness were alone in evidence.
Scarcely more felicitous was Miss Mary Mannering with "Nancy Stair." Miss Mannering is not as good an actress as Miss Bingham.
