An absorbing story was published, telling how Mias Helen Keller, who is to appear here at the Auditorium- Armory on tne evening of December 20, under the auspices and for the benefit of the Atlanta Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, “saw’* David Warfield In a performance of “The Auctioneer.” * Anyone inclined to believe that tills blind and deaf girl did not actually se*e and enjoy the performance would be thoroughly convinceel after read ing the story. Of course, It wan pos sible only through the intercession and remarkable ability to convey im pressions of Miss Keller’s teacher and companion for 26 years, Mrs. Macy. The writer tells first how Miss Kel ler sat In the foyer with Mrs Macy and a friend, Miss Moore, and en joyed the arrival of fashionable folks She chatted in a lively manner over each group of arrivals, and seemed to know many of the celebrities. Nothing can reveal how Miss Keller “saw” the performance better than to quote from the article. “The process by which Mrs. Mary and Miss Moore communicated the details of what was going on on the stage was as complicated as it was lnteretslng. The major portion of the labor, of course, fell upon Mrs Macy. She it was who deftly and swiftly communicated all the dia logue, together with the attendant “business,” provided-the latter did not become too much involved, in which case Miss Me ire came to the rescue as a sort of auxiliary. "That Helen Keller should respond to the moving pathos of David War- field’s acting is not so remarkable, In view of the fact that she has, of ne cessity, a highly spiritualized equip ment for the sensing of emotion, and that Warfield Is pre-eminently a mas ter In the art o*f transmuting the spiritual into tangible terms of drama. What is more remarkable is the fact that, deaf and blind, this girl should respond so Instantaneously to all the delicate Inflections of David War- field’s comedy. She responded to every nuance thereof with a promptness that was positively uncanny. “It was In the Belasco green room, after the play, however, that Miss Keller displayed her greatest virtu osity. She had long wanted to meet her favorite actor, she aid. and when at last he stood bowing before her. she grasped his outstretched hand and, in her clear treble voice, said, very distinctly; “‘Oh. Mr. Warfield, this is certain ly shaking hands with a ghost. Ah, how I did love you in "The Return of Peter Grimm.” I wish that I might see you in that play once again. You don’t know, you can not know, what Peter Grimm meant to me, who have striven all my life to hear and be heard out of the darkness, just as your feplrit did when it came back to earth-’ ” As Miss Keller left him the great actor said: “She is greater than Na poleon.” Agent in 15 Calls Finds Only Bad Luck HAMMOND, JND..
