L" Madame Sans Gene"

The literary event OF the day, according to a
dispatch from Paris. october 27. published In
the New York Herald. is the production OF a
new piece by VicIorien Sardou. Madame
Sans Gene" a comedy In four acts, at the
Theatre du Vaudeville. The piece, writes the
correspondent. Jacques ST. Cere, has scored
not a literary success, but grOs success
d'amusement, and will have good run.
The scene is laid IN the lime of Napoleon /,
an epoch which Is in fashion just now in furni-
ture aud In dress, as we'll as in literature The
heroine is the MarechaIe Lefebvre, Duchesse
de DantZg, who began life as washerwoman,
then became u cantiniere, and finally Duchess
and wife of a NJ arshal of France, but who re-
tanned in her elevated station not only the Ian
guage but also the manners OF her early days.
The contrast between the natural speech and
manners of Nine. la Marechale and those I'M
posed Upon her by her position at the Imperial
court forms the whole Interest OF the piece.
The first act passes during the Revolution
and in the laundry. where the heroine gets her
start In life. The action OF the other three acts
passes in the palace OF COmpiegne IN 1911,
during the apogee OF the Firsi Empire.
The plot Is very slight. 1t is the somewhat
mixed-up story off an Austrian officer whom
Napoleon suspects of being too especially IA
vOred by Marie Louise. Matters, hOweyrr, are
straigh' ened out by the presence OF mind and
wit OF Madamela, surnamed Nine. Sans Gene

The Untraditional Clement.

Mr.. Clay Clement who has laudable ambi-
tion to excel as an actor and at the same time
is so independent and so sefconfdent as TO
dismiss all leadership, will play Matthias in the
ErckmanD-C -Chatrian dramatic story of "Tne
Polish Jew'' at the AlcaZdr this week, com
mencing tomorrow evening. Irving aud others
before him played the same piece in this city
under The name of The Bels''-more or less
MANIPULATED, as il has always been, to suit the
purposes of the various actors who presented
it. MI Clement intends TO disregard the lines
on which Mr.. Irving and the rest interpreted
the story, and to convey in his personatiOn OF
Matthias as well as in the general presentation
OF The weird drama what he deems are the
authors ideas in its construction. Mr.. Clement
is not unknown TO California as professional

Richard Mansfield's shyiock. :"

"Tbe Merchant OF Venice" was produced by
Mr.. Mansfield at Herrmann's Theater, New
York. on Monday, October %. The Tribune
analyzes as follows the setting Of the play and
the personation of the Jew:
Mr.. Mansheld's expedients in setting the
Merchant and in representing Shylock are, in
general, not new-but they are new to him. He
has never seen performance OF that play, aud
consequently has never seen a repre- esenIaton
OF Shylock. He has approached the drama
with fresh mind. and has treated il it-precisey
as lie would have new play-doing what Is
suggested by the text, and playing the part ac-

that "divine perfection" of summer night with
which the felicItous skill OF Shakespeare rounds
and closes his lovely story of happy love. The
introduction of that picture hid capital dra-
matte effect, and that feature should be noted
as absolutely novel. MIR. Mansfield has also
introduced new song for Jesslca, In place OF
the wretched lines that occur in the accepted
stage version QOr Shakespeare allOts no song

man soldier ever and never a supernumerary.
Silence must be eXDressive-repOse, pctur-

the grub to the butteTfy-the dress rehearsals-
then in few hours the result OF year or more
of labor is read. Thank heaven" said Miss
Davenport, talking on this subject the other
day, "that result has always been successful in

relief was afforded by touches of sardonlc
