NJ Coqueln concluded on Tuesday his seven
or eight weeks season in London, playing Les
Surprises du Divorce" To the last this piece
has been the most popular of all those produced.
But NJ Coquelin's success, not always in filing,
but in keeping open by his unaided efforts a
French theatre in London for two months, is
the thing most surprising Of all. Society, which
does not deeply for the classics, has thronged
to see him in modern plays Playgoers wish to
be amused, and he has amused them. He has also
educated them, which perhaps they did not wish.
The Standard of general dramatic criticism in
London is certainly higher than it was when he
came. Negotiations for his return to the Theatre
F'rancaise are proceeding, which may have some
effect on his American tour. G. w. S.
