“But in ‘Marie-Odile’ Mr. Knoblauch has produced a work of superior calibre, and has acquitted himself of a difficult task with ingenuity and tact. His first act is too much overladen with (dramatically) trifling details, but the piece acquires strength and impetus as it proceeds. _Marie-Odile_ is one of the most credible examples of complete unsophistication that has been put upon the stage for a long time, and she is admirably impersonated by Miss Frances Starr. The part does not, it is true, present many difficulties, but most actresses would have betrayed in it a self-consciousness of the superfine quality of the innocence which they were portraying, and this Miss Starr did not do. She did really suggest the purity of a completely isolated maidenhood. Her completely natural maternal exultation in the possession of a baby was really excellent acting. Harriet Otis Dellenbaugh showed warm womanly feeling as the kindly _Sister Louise_, Jerome Patrick did very well as the _Corporal_, and Frank Reicher furnished a clever character bit as the senile old gardener. The setting in the convent was perfect--a notable specimen of Mr. Belasco’s handiwork.” This was the cast of “Marie-Odile”: _Mother Saint Dominic_, Mother Superior of the Convent Marie Wainwright. _Sister Clotilde_ Ada C. Nevil. _Sister Louise_ Harriet Otis Dellenbaugh. _Sister Monica_ Alice Martin. _Sister Anatole_ Sally Williams. _Sister Angela_ Mildred Dean. _Sister Cecilia_ Amy Fitzpatrick. _Sister Joseph_ Mary Green. _Sister Elizabeth_ Nona Murray. _Sister Catherine_ Alice Carroll. _Marie-Odile_, a novice Frances Starr.
