1919 at Paris Cornee remarked that Racine's Turks
were Freedmen in Disguise but the tragedy was

TO the merit of the play but exclusively to the genius
of the actress who pcrsonated Rox.na, Mile Champ.
meie This we fancy will also be the case here. AS
the catastrophe Of Bojazet not reported in the an

dcschi had been ossassinated from Jealousy at Fon
taiIebleau on the order Of Christina, Queen Of Swe
dcD and it was supposed Racine, transplanting the
scene to Constannope, on this incident erected his
play. But he himself disposed OF all these rumors 81
ezpleinil z how the Count If Cezy, who wa, French
ambassador 10 Turkey at the tine reported the entire
incident which, al it has been depicted by Racine in
ks TRAGEDY, may be thus explained:
