FOREIGN DRAMA ON ENGLISH AND AMERICAN STAGE 1 59 



And surely, the one-act play has never been seen to greater perfection 

 anywhere than when presented in this country twenty-five years ago 

 by Rosina Vokes. 



Spain has sent us no Salvini, Ristori or Rossi, but she did produce 

 Tamagno, the tenor; Sarasate, the violinist; and Carmencita, the 

 dancer. The names of the present leading actors of Spain, Enrique 

 Borras, Maria Guerrero and Diaz de Mendoza, well known in Spain 

 and Spanish America, mean nothing to us. They do not visit the 

 United States. Last year Borras visited Mexico and produced some 

 of the plays of Guimera. 



When it comes to fight music of the best kind, Spain and Spanish 

 America turn, like the rest of the civilized world, to Vienna. From 

 the announcements of the current newspapers of Cuba, Mexico, Porto 

 Rico, Honduras, Chile and Peru, one may hear in those countries at 

 the present moment La Viuda Alegre (The Merry Widow), Las Manio- 

 bras de Otono (Autumn Maneuvres), El Conde de Luxemburgo (The 

 Count of Luxemburg) , and La Princesa del Dollar (The Dollar Princess).
