French Art and Ours Mme Rejane and Miss Kidder
New York theater comparisons show Madame Rejane and Kathryn Kidder performing the same play in English and French. The American production outshines the French in costumes and scenery, while Kidder delivers brash vitality but often imitates, not innovates. Rejane stays restrained, focusing on gesture and mood, exposing differences in stage craft between nations.
