calse have said to me: we are ready
to play this play and that play Of
yours" he answered, but | tell
them No. Your government suid that
/ should not be received us guest In
your caravansary, and until the min
lister of public instruction writes what
amounts to letter of apology concern
ing the "Thermidor" affair, none of
my pieces shull be played at the Com
edie franchise" Then Sardou added
whit. If translated into United States
English. might be expressed as: "And
don't you forget it,"
Have you any general advice to
give to young playwrightsP" asked.
YES. Respect tradition. There Is
one set of laws running through and
governing all really great dramatic
compositions, from Eschylus and sopho-
cles through Shakespeare and Goethe.
Respect these laws, and great plays
can be written. Disregard them, and
failure is almost certain"
EDWARD MARsHALL.

81 am not at work on any definite
play now he said TO me- II am not
writing play dealing with Louis
XVII. and his time. Perhaps [ may

not more likely to choose that subject
and that period than / am to choose

riods, My next work will be play for

may have that ready in about eighteen
months"
Then NJ. Sardou explained why it
was That he was in such doubt as to tho
subject Of his next play. He spoke as
II he had not Il dozen but a hundred
plays all ready to be written, and as il
1t we're merely matter of Judgment MS
10 which should oc selected and finished
up at once.
II have been collecting my material
for many years" he explained. See, ]
have ii in the mass over here in this
cabinet
Like a bird, he flew over to a big
cabinet mt the other side of the study
and began showing it's contents TO me.
Such treasure housel Here were notes
and sccncrics for moro than eighteen
plays all classified and ready to be
knocked into actablc shape.
But that is not ALL" he cried, glee.
fully, rs he let the sheets of embryonic
plays slip lovingly through his fingers.
'Oh, mol that is by no means all. See

deep into your soul. Never forgot it"
The next instant Sardou springs up
like a rubber ball. The point has been
reached where n dcclamatory effort is
To bc desired. 1t comes-comcs in
the full voice OF 4 practiccd speak
er, pitched somewhat high, but
still OF most pleasant inJonation.
1t is delivered while the play
wright stands smlingly conscious
that his point is II good one, with arms
opened in emphasis and head tilted
The subsequent pause leaves the mat
ter wholly to the nearer, but leaves it
in such way that the nearer would
obviously be stupid if lac did not APP
prcciatc the facts as stated and the
deduction as drawn. Fcval says that
when the struggling youth went To ask
him To cola boratc on lie BosSu" he
told his story OF the play with as much
dramatic fire as an accomplished actor
could have shown. The same is true of
whatever he says. At rchcarSalS OF his
plays he is not only stage manager, but
he is also comedian, villain, first old
man, second old woman, star soubrottc.
until every member Of the company
knows what he or she mus, do. and
knows exactly how it must he done
Sardou acts the parts with consummat e
art and with n versatility that is not
less than amazing. Thus, also, he acts
his conversation.

q polite dismissal. 1t means that the
time has come for the call ~ end and
for his work at the thcatcr to begin.
His home in Paris is by no means Il pre-
tentiouS one. The drawinF-room is
hung with fine tapestries, and has in 1t
some wonderful bric-a-bra But it is
simple and transformations place

of Emile lola. The study is IL great,
airy room, full! of light, and Uttered
with books and newspapers kind of

business man as he is Il playwright, and
the litter is OF the sort that might be
found in the Office of railroad presi-
dent His table is large, and the chair
mt one side of il is definitely devoted 10
the writing of plays. A smaller chair
on the other side serves for letter writ
ing and other comparatively unimpor-
tant composition.
When Sardou begins to talk the Wis
i,or feels aS if battery had suddenly
been let loose, and the air charged
with cracking electricity. have
never met person whose personal
magnetism is SO irresistible. Even
Sarah Bcrnharit's influence is weaker
than Sardou's. He talks as If ne were
ON the stage, and as If his conversation
were drama. Every sentence is acted
out. One word comes low and wills
pcrcd through half-closcd lips while
the dramatist leans forward, with his
arms ahimbo, aud his hands spread
like the claws of an eagle on his knees.
Every atom of him. from Iii, big. easy
