Wilkie Collins in recent letter TO William Win

taken by Aimee Desc6e the Last Of the great French
| actresses After seeing the piece in London size
was eager, on her return to Paris, to play Grace
ROsebcrrgl Develop The character little more in
the last act, she said to L Will see that this
plav is thoroughly well translated into French
and will make Grace, and not Mercy Merrick, the
chief woman in the piece. Graces dramatic position
is magnihcent-I feel it to my fingers ends. Wait
and see She died, poor soul, few months after

properly acted now."
The London Horld records the success of Mr..
Thornes revival of 1.-The School for Scandal" at
the Vaudeville Theatre, London and says that the
most admired performances were those of Miss Ada
Cavendish Lady IeG:le, Mr.. Farren, as Sir Peter
Henry Neville, as Charles, and +. Archer.
Joseph 1t is not surprising that Miss Cavendsh has
made remarkable hit as Lady IeGsle, for Miss
Cavendish is better suited for high comedy, of the
glitterng and dashing kind than any other actress
now prominent before the public and is of the
few really brilliant women now on the English
stage The London World, adverting TO the shifting
nature of the standard of morality, quotes what has
become a most amusing passage from the CORE
spondence of Grimm and Dlderot, relative to an at
tempt made to produce In Paris, i'll 1888, French
version OF 90 Tho School for Scandal": " The great
liberty of the English theatre may give success to
these bold attempts, at which our ideas of dramatic
morals such these would not be admitted on our
stage The example of a married woman
gallant as Lady 7easle jealous of her lover ready
meet hIm at rendezvous which she has accepted
would, on the French stage, be considered too
scandalous for representation"
