The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-11-12

- San Francisco will enjoy a treat which
: the French Government denied to Paris
!: in the production of "Thermidor," by Mr..
CoqueIin and his company, at the Grand
Opera-heuSe next Thursday and Saturday
evenings.
Every one win remember how the play
was received with acclamations at the
Coincide Franchise ana then suppressed
after the second performance on account
of the QUERY of the Jacobin press. Yet
"ThermiGor," which will be acted for the
third time on any stage next Thursday, is
not in any sense a political play. in spite
of the fact that Sardou has laid its scenes
in the most thrilling epoch of French his
tory.
The action passes on the 9th of Thermi-
dor, the last day of the reign of terror.
For months men and women had been
diving in a fever of suspense, each de-
nouncing his neighbor to the satellites Of
the guillotine in order to prevent being de-
nounced by him. The revolution was de-
vouring even its own children. DantOn
and Camille Desmoulins had gone in the
death-cart TO the scaffoId. and the power
of k0bespierre and the other Jacobin
terrorists trembled in the balance.
-; The whole play is crowded into this
Ninth Thermidor" July 81, $780, when
Robes pierre and Henriot were declared
rebels by the convention. Paris was dis
tracted, men rushed wildly through the
streets, asking if the reign of terror were

which the jails overlooked, heard the con-
fusion, their friends tried to signal hope
and courage to them from the housetOps,
but toward evening the death tumbrils
began as usual to roll with their load of
victims toward the Place de la Revolution.

forced their way through the crowd. the
tumbrils moved on and the ninth Their
midOT" gave the last tribute Of guiltIeSs
heads to the guillotine.
Such is tie lurid background upon which
Sardou has drawn his tragedy. which is
not epic because none of the famous char
acters OF the revolution come upon the
scene. The echoes of the terrible Ninth
Thermidor reverberate all through the
drama, however; the shouts of the fierce
mob, the singing of the evil Carmagn ole
add to its tragedy. and the denouement
hinges upon the fate OF RObespierre'S last
batch of victims.
"Thermidor," said Mr.. CoQuelin, when
questioned by CALL reporter respecting
found impression during It's two represen-
tatidns, .ThermidoI' was first read and
approved at the Coincide FRANCHISE.
'It was accepted them" continued the
great French actor, land for two and a
half months was diligently rehearsed un-
der the continued personal supervision Of
Mr.. Sardou. The final rehearsal, at which
the critics were present. was more success
full than any that had been known in the
theater. The first performance, on the
day following, was an even greater sue
cess. At the end of the representation
Sardou was called for. with enthusiastic
acclaim ations. and every one believed that
the play would run 300 nights at least.
"Unhappily some of those people who
like to fish in the troubled waters of poll.
tics interfered. They discovered that the
play excited sympathy for the wrong side
the piece was more republican than ter
rorist. These people disturbed the second
representation very effectively. and the
Government. which had authorized the rep
resentation of 'Thermidor,' had the sad
courage to interdict it on the plea that

THE YOUTHS COMPANION.
What 1t Promises It's Subscribers
During the Coming Year.


In many respects the Youths Come
panion Ia the most remarkable publication
of its class in the world. Designed. as its
name indicates, for young people, its ed
itors have never made the mistake Of writ
ing down to their readers. On the con-
trary. they have constantly sought to inn
prove the literary quality of their journal,
90 that, aside from the intrinsic interest Of
its contents, it should prove an educa-
tional factor of high value in developing
the literary taste of the youth of both
sexes. to whom its articles are addressed.
The announcement of what the publish
ers OF this splendid periodical propose to
present to their hundreds of thousands
of subscribers during the coming year
is worthy of more than passing notice: It
embraces series of articles by the most
eminent of living authors. in which almost
every phase of human adventure plays a
part. There ara serial stories by Harold
Fredric. Sara Jeanette Duncan. Mrs. Ar
thur Gordon Rose, c. A. Stephens and
other equally well-known authors. Some
of the many short stories presented will be
from the pens of Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
Ward, Henry NJ. Stanley, Clark Russell.
Mary G. Morrison and Stenson Jarvis. A
notable feature of the coming volume will
be series of photographed articles
by the famous authors Marion Craw-
lord, Bret Harte, Frank *. STOCK
ton and }. M. Barrie. Naval
warfare, ancient and modern, will be de-
scribed by Admirals Ammen and Stevens
of the United States navy, while Generals
Gibbon and Merritt will relate interesting
incidents of their army life Coutribu-
tons are also secured from such eminent
men as the Duke of Argyll. Sir Archibald
Geikie, Professor Henry Drummond. Sir
Robert Stawell Ball. Justin Mccarthy, q.
a. Boyesen, Andrew Lang. Mary A. Liver
more. John Burroughs. Lady Jeune, Lucy
II. Hooper. Robert P. Porter and Pro-
lessor w. j. Rolfs There is no use in
mentioning more Of the great names which
will be appended to articles in the Youths
COMPANION during 1894. Those given will
assure it's readers of a feast such as is not
to be obtained from anv other source. The
Youths Companion easily outclasses all
its rivals. Published by Perry. Mason d
Co., Boston. Price. 81 Is per year.

some violent popular demonstrations might
break out against It, The play was only
allowed to run two nights.
''NOw generally when there is great
success at the Coincide Fran caise the total
sum taken in advance for tickets amounts
in two or three days to 10000 or $4,000
francs. For "Thermidnr" in three days
the sum amounted to 00o00 francs. Such
q successful piece might not have been
interdieted, perhaps, il 1t had not been
that the date, the 9th Thsrmidor. made 1t
impossible to avoid the question of politics
altogether. Every one regretted the act
of weakness and injustice on the part OF
the Government. The step was taken
