One of till 1 "mi»I complicated mid compre- hensive tuiirn ever arranged for un KiikIMi speaking nrtresa was completed July 1:1 for ■Madame All i Xmlniovu, who sailed for Lon- don, Tuesday, July IB, on the Kainrr Wtihdm tlrr (Jroinc, upon the first stage of a tour iin-iinil the world. 'Mndnuip Nazlmova returned to New York After having played "Delia Donna" to Cali- fornia and back, Hhnrtly after her arrival hhi- went into consultation with Charles 1'iohrrmn, who quickly supplied her with steamship tickets, anil the news that she was due In Ix>ndon, July 21, to be present during the nrgnnltutlnn or a company that will act with her on her tour around the world. 80 fur. It la planned that Madame Nazlmova shall act only In English In the various foreign countries that she visits; hut the actress' personal wish Is to perform her own roles In French when she- Is In France, In Herman when she la In Germany, and In Italian in Italy. The only large country that It will not lie possible for Madame Nozlinova to visit is, unfortunately, her na- tive country, Itussla. Ten years ago Madame Nazlmova was barred by the government from ever appearing In any Russian theatre, because of her appearance In the nihilistic play, Tail Feodor." But every other Im- portant country, especially wherever there are English sneaking colonies, will I« visited with n repertoire constating largely of the plays of Ilisen. and a single J. M. Barrlc play In three scenes, entitled "Half Hour." The actual mechanics of Mme. Nazlmova's tour around the world will be worked out In Charles Frobman's London offices, where the collapsible scenery necessary for a reper- toire of eight plays will also be built. Mme. Nnr.im.ora will not appear on the New York stage again before the completion of her lour around the world but before that tour Is undertaken she will fulfill the contracts made for performances of "Bella Donna." at Detroit, And a few Western cltlei, closing her "Bella Donna" season next March, and then hawing for Sydney, New South Wales. As agreed upon between Mr. Froliman and Mine. Nazlmova, the actress' tour around the world, commencing at Sydney, will have Melbourne as its second stop. Then the Nazlmova company will er<> s to China, Japan, India and play throughout the prin- cipal theatres In South Africa. The project then Includes Mme. Knslmora's first appear- ance In England, after which France, Ger- many and Italy will be visited. Mr. Frohtnsn stated that It Is bis wish that Mme. Nazlmova should first visit Au- stralia and South America because the old difficulties of touring In those countries arc now almost entirely removed. Mr. Froh- msn's wish la to take advantage of the new facilities, but lately perfected, for foreign touring companies In these countries. Just before his denth J. C. Williamson, the con- trolling factor In all Australian theatres, com- 81cted a combination with the theatres of outb Africa, so that a tour can be booked as readily In the one counry as In the other. The scenery, clothes and draperies for Mme. Nazlmova's tour will be made In London where the manufacturing of collapsible stage effects Is best understood, and whence ail continental tours are best projected. If China and Japan are eventually included In the Nazlmova tour around the world—as It is expected they will be—the tour will end January, 1015, after which Mme. Nazlmova will sail to New York for her flrat New York appearance In over a year. Many European actresses hare attempted the world wide tour In repertoire that Mme. Nazlmova la now undertaking, and n few continental actresses have very nearly suc- ceeded, out a plan for actually circling the world with a repertoire of plays In which the principal part will be acted alternately In at least four languages hag never pre- viously been tried. At least three of her present company will be retained for Mme. Nazlmova's tour around the world, In addi- tion to the organization that will be recruit- ed in London. ■»«» Amii.rii I-',.
