Essay by Arthur Symons lamenting the dearth of native acting talent in Britain, reserving his highest praise for visiting Americans Edward H. Sothern and wife Julia Marlowe, whose Shakesperean talents he holds above reproach. "There is no actor on our stage who can speak either English or verse as these two Americans can....
