“SAP HO IS NO7 IMMORAL
5/1YS OLGA NETHERSOLE IN
CHA1 TING ABOUI HER PLA Y\
THE ART OF COOKING
Free Lecture and Practical Demonstration Begins Tomorrow, Tuesday, and Continues Every
Day This Week, By Professor Joseph Becker, One of the World’s GREATEST Chefs.
' MISS OLGA NETHUR80LE,
Mill Nether,ole will preiint her two leading plays, “Adrienne Lecou-
vreur” and "Sapho” in Atlanta. 8he ia eoniidered the foremost expo
nent of the realiatie emotional aohool of acting in America.
The ladies’ Opportunity to
Acquire Valuable Knowledge.
By SELENE ARMSTRONG.
"It la too bad that I have kept you
waiting," and there was the very Olga
Netheraole at thought of whom you
had alwaya felt the aame little thrill
of fear and admiration. So cordial la
her handahake and ao graoloua her
manner, that one quite forgeta when
In her preaence, the terrifying qualltlea
of genlua. And to apend an hour
there In the little parlor of her car,
"Netheraole," chatting with her qbout
“Adrienne Lecouvreur,” “Sapho," about
men, women and thlnga la aufflcient to
convince one that Olga Netheraole
poaeeaaea in pre-eminent degree the
first requialte of great art—sincerity.
"Why did I choose to play ‘Adrienne
Lecouvreur’ and '8apho‘ in Atlanta?”
naked Miss Netheraole. "Well, I wish
to give ‘Adrienne’ because for sheer
beauty there Is nothing In my reper
toire which surpasses, or perhaps
equals It. Even I am aatiafled with
the costumes, and that, my comp
would tell you. means a great deal,
I am not easily pleased. Each costume
haa been copied with painstaking care
from those of ‘Adrienne's’ century
which may be seen on great canvases
there In the Luxembourg, and the
staging of the play Is perfect."
Sapho Not Immoral.
“You ask If I had any especial rea
son for deciding to give Sapho In At
lanta. X always play It If I am to re
main In a city for only two or three
engagements. You see. In it I have
the opportunity to present every phase
of my art—comedy, tragedy, poetry
and realism. ’Sapho,' Indeed, runs the
gamut of human experience, and Is as
comprehensive as all the rest of my
repertoire.
“No, ‘Sapho* Is not Immoral. As a
play, It Is justified not so much by
great art, as by the great moral which
It teaohes. Those who condemn It so
violently are those who Judge It by
the first and second acts, whereas It
la only the play as a whole which can
be taken Into account.”
Referring to her sensational trial
some five years ago In the courts of
New York, and the effort then made
to suppress “Sapho," Miss Netheraole
declared that the case was brought
about by the frantic methods of yel
low journalism. When the advertls-
Ing, value of such a trial was flippantly
suggested to her, she replied, with en
ergy, “No, nothing could justify It. I
was cruelly wronged. And, remember,
my dear, that a wrong does not make
a right."
Discusses Her Art,
Some writer has said that a passion
ate attachment to her work gives Olga
Nethersole an Intensity which Is "per
sonal and religious," a comment
which Is understood when she speaks
of her art. It is at once her life and
her religion,
i “As you remarked," said she, “the
critics seem fond of saying that
Madame Bernhardt Is the high priest
ess of Idealism, and Olga Nethersole
of realism. Why do I believe In the
latter above the Yormor? Because I
believe with all my heart, that truth
la greater than beauty; that to por
tray life as It Is teaches more than
to portray life as we Idealise It. Be
cause Sapho shows the evil as well as
the good of life. It shows, must show
that? good Is to be chosen above evil.
Hair the painter a moral right to por
tray only that part of a scene which Is
fair to the eye? No. I believe that
the most vital art Is that which takes
cognisance of evil as well as good, In
order to teach the better way."
“Before you say goodbye, I must
tell you that my friends In England
and on the continent are good enough
to say they feel grateful to Georgia,
following my trial In New York over
est friends. I
charming simplicity of

Hi, Authority Llmitod.
Tho comptroller general Is, however,
merely ex-officio Insurance commis
sioner, and under the state statute, hi,
powers regarding companies In the
state are very limited. Although he
hae full authority * over corporations
chartered by the state, he can go no
further and may not question the right
of any outside company to do business
In the state, no matter what It* meth
ods, as long as It la able to eatlsfy him
concerning It, financial solvency by
means of sworn statements. The comp
troller himself has In recent Inter
view, with Insurance men told them
plainly that hit authority 1^ so re
stricted that If ha were actually to
know that a foreign company of uny
kind was doing business under mis
leading promises or false representa
tions, he would be legally unable to
■ton It a, long as It was actually finan
cially solvent, according to Its own
showing. In consequence, Georgia Is
rapidly becoming tbe dumping ground
of many companies of questionable
reputation, whose sphere of activity
has been narrowed by expulsion from
other states on account of methods and
results to policyholder*. It Is regarded
by reputable life and fire Insurance
agents as most deplorable that the
laws of Georgia do not give better pro
tection to Insurers throughout the state,
as wel las to tho beat claas of insur
ance Interests.

commissioners In the present unsettled
conditions both in fire and life In

an active and authoritative supervision
