"No, no!" exclaimed Madame Modjeska, in consternation. " I have heard it all! " " Indeed you have not, Madame! " said the indignant author, " you have slept very well! " t He said no more, but went away with his heart full of anger and revenge. The play was put on, another actress playing the heroine. The character was that of a frivolous, faithless, wicked woman; and her husband, in the play, was deceived, and very jealous of her. The author gave the actress the idea of what he wanted done, which was to personate her rival in this unpleasant character; but the lady had not the courage to imitate Modjeska, who she knew would be in the President's box. But Monsieur Chlapowski was away, and the actor who played the husband, knowing this, consented to make himself up to represent him. Monsieur Chlapowski was sufficiently known in Warsaw for his ways, his familiar expressions of speech, and all the little details which make up the manner of a person, to be very well recognised by the public. The likeness was evident, and the intention of the impersonation was quickly i understood. The audience was divided between amusement and disgust. Some of the people in the boxes left the theatre because they would not countenance the insu

Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Helena Modjeska: Madame Chlapowska To the happy possessors of the artistic temperament, there is abundant romance in what we call the prose of every-day existence. Alma-Tadema has written on his studio ceiling these words: "As the sun colours flowers, so art colours life." The artist lives in a vivid atmosphere of glow and of excitement. There is the ever-recurrent romance of difficulty, and of difficulty conquered; the terrible spur of despair, the eager hope, the continual effort, the glory of success.

Starring Madame Modjeska
Author: Beth HolmgrenPublisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253005191
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
The “important . . . meticulously researched” prize-winning biography of the pre-eminent Polish star of the nineteenth century global stage (CosmopolinReview.com). In reintroducing “a little-remembered actress to a new American audience” biographer Beth Holgram delivers a revelatory portrait of Helena Modjeska—from unparalleled European success to her reign as the most acclaimed, and most recognized female celebrity in the late nineteenth-century United States. In 1876, Poland’s leading actress, Helena Modrzejewska, accompanied by her husband, the self-stylized Count Bozente, emigrated to southern California to give up her career and establish a utopian commune. In light of its failings, it hardly fulfilled the real dreams of Madame Helena. Within a year, she changed her surname to Modjeska, and made her American debut at San Francisco’s California Theatre. Godmother to Ethel Barrymore, and sharing the Shakespearian stage with such luminaries as Otis Skinner, Edwin Booth, and Maurice Barrymore, Helena Modjeska became the leading star in the United States, where she reigned for the next thirty years. In this “Impressive . . . achievement,” Holmgren traces Modjeska’s fabulous life and career from her illegitimate birth in Krakow, to her successive reinventions of herself as a trans-continental diva, and finally to her enduring legacy (Women’s Review of Books). All in all, Starring Madame Modjeska “makes for great drama” (NewPages.com).
