Eleanor Drude o by : Maud Allan Eleanor Druse , of whom I had heard and thrilled over as a child , came into my life in Berlin . I had the ha honor of meeting her more than once , and not jest casually . The genius of this woman inspired me beyond words . One could see the great art pouring forth from her innermost soul . She differed from Bernhardt greatly . Druse made no concessions while Bernhardt - a born show woman , knew and employed every cixx trick of the stage technique and voice to gather her audience under her spell , as the need arose . Druse forgot her public - Sarah Bernhardt never forgot hers . Great , glowing , thrilling , this pale quiet slim woman whose soul was filled with inexhaustible love and beauty - some for each of us who were privileged to be near her at every moment of the day throughout her wh whole life span whose emotions were steeped deep in the secrets of worlds apart from the every day one was truly the greatest actress of ourt time . She had a personality whose magic swept on off one's feet long after she had spoken , held one spell bound long after with a glance from her deep dark eyes . She will be remembered throughout all time , for she is immortas . , Her deepest sorrows were born of a love for a man . She bore them bravely and silently . I am grateful to I have known her , to have talked to her and to have received her constructive criticism and approval when deserved as I did . வ MAXXXXF XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Many of you will envy my good fortune . It was in Berlin when we played at the same theatre at the same time on alternate nights . We came together quite often . I had seen her from the front when she wove a magic spell around one , but in the cold unflattering light of the rehearsal Stage , to me it was even greater . She was the supreme - the born - artist , not one created by the rigid rules of the academy . She was art . You may not know it , but the fact is that Eleanor Druse never stopped acting .. Born almmst on the stage to travelling stage parents , the wee babe brought with her God's gra precious gift of greatness . Instinctively she she did the right thing : translated the character for us flawlessly . The lessons I learned from her studying her at those reheasals and the advice and help she gave me in my own crt will we BRX ever be treasures to guard for ever more . Quiet movements and silence are often more expressive than violent actions and many words " . She honoured me with her presence several times at my recitals and the memory of her iiminous dark eyes and beautiful smite carried me over many rough spots during my career . # 8
