Paris correspondent says that a short time
ago M. Loyau de Lacy handed the manager Of the
Amblgu Comique drama, named "Le Borgne, " or
"The One Eyed, /" which the manager undertook TO
produce, but which subsequently he tried TO avoid
producing. ALI his efforts were van and he was
obliged to play one OF the worst dramas ever
placed on that or any other stage. Most Of the
critics fell upon 1t tooth and nail others were dis
armed by laughter. One critic declared that he
laughed during the whole piece, that he laughed
along the bOulevards as he left the theatre that
he rOared all night In bed, and wrote his critique
with tears streaming down his cheeks the ne xt
morning. M. de Lacy, who teaches French at
young ladies' school, was naturally indignant with
the hostile newspapers, and determined to revenge
himself There IS a French law which lays 1t down
that II you are attacked in journal you have
the right to reply at double the length of
the attack. M. Loyau de Lacy therefore sent to
the papers which had abused his play prose just
double the length OF the criticism. The journals
thus treated have refused insertion, and hence an
action. II NJ. Loyau de Lacy proves tenacious
there is no knowing where this affair will stop.

though M. Loyau had been christened either
Arthur, Auguste or Anatole. The affair was taken
from court to court, and after several years NJ.
Loyau triumphed.
