Gabriela Zapolska as an actress had been working both with professional (Kraków, Poznań, Łódź, Petersburg, Lwów) and provincial theatres (Pomorze, Wielkopolska, Kró- lestwo Polskie). She has collaborated with Jakub Apolinary Glikson, Tadeusz Pawlikowski and Ludwik Heller. From 1889 to 1895 she lived in Paris, where she was playing at the Théâtre Libre André Antoine and the Théâtre de l’Oeuvre. In 1900 she resigned from her act-ing career for the literary one. This article summarizes journalistic statements of Gabriela Zapolska about acting. They seem more interesting because they are being made by active, but artistically unfulfilled actress and playwright.
