Description
Summary:The content of the article are the memoirs and correspondence of the actress and traveller Jadwiga Mrozowska-Toeplitz, in which she described her reflections on the fellow artist Helena Modrzejewska. Both ladies met in Kraków in 1903, during Madame’s last performances. Mrozowska, in a colourful way, described both the American star’s acting and her attitude towards her theatre colleagues. The letters and published diaries interestingly show how Mrozowska’s attitude towards herself and Modrzejewska changed. They also indirectly touch on relations within and outside the theatre, as well as the social status of actors. Their content is certainly an interesting supplement to research on the history of theatre and the biographies of the artists themselves.
