THE RETURN OF LOUIS JAMES.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Bill.

Espy Williams's romantic drama, "A
Cavalier Of France" was the happy me-
dunn through which Mr.. Louis James
was reintrobIced to a Richmond audi
ence at the Academy last night. The
play IS well constructed and cleyerly writ
ten. on the whole, though at times IL
sinks almost to the level OF farce. IL
retains, however, the interest from Use
TO fall of the curtain. 1t tells a pretty
story of the reign Of Henri Irols, the
last Of the house of Nalois, and OF the
sons of Catherine de Medicis, and deals
closely with a romantic incident or that
period. which has so aptly been termed
the reign of favorites." In the charac-
ter of Rene de Froisac, a cavalier, Mr..
James is seen TO excellent advantage.
AT times he Is too boisterOus, perhaps
but IL would not be Louis James II ne
were not, and yet his technic is far
more subtle and delicate imam IL was
some few years ago.
Mics Mary Emerson was graceful and
charming as Gabrielle, and Mr.. Barry
Johnston gave a clever portrayal OF the
King. though his touch faltered in the
drunken scene i'm the astrologer's cham

els and Mr.. Gilbert Gardner, as the Jester.
were conspicuous in the cast, which was
capable throughout and evenly balanced.
The scenic environment was fairly sump-
tuOus.

the matinee to-day and tonight spar

not only has a novel and interesting play

scene IN which the cavalier ~denounces

of Catherine de Medicis, as a creature

The Borough Flag.

Some murmurs have been afloat occa-
stoned by the action of the G. A. r. Post
in requesting the Borough flag for use in
decorating the church on the evening of
the Memorial Day services, and also be
cause it was not again hoisted on the poles
on Broad Street.
Rcv. A. S Gardiner was instrumental
in procuring the flag and also the large
liberty pole which was erected on Centre
Square We understood the flag was for
use on all patriotic occasions, and its Gus
tody seems to have been relegated in a
general way to the town council.
The pole was taken down some time ago
since Which there has been no suitable
place to furl the flag. AS it hung across
Broad Street itswas menace to persons
driving by reason of being so low that
it interfered with and frightened horses.
Either proper pole should be again erect
ed or the flag should be safely kept until
one is. 1t should not be allowed to dangle
across the street so low as to interfere with
the safety of the public and on poles which
having served their day and purpose should
long age have been removed. They are
not ornamental nor do they remind one
of any historical event worthy of being com
memOrated by even such monuments
Let some public spirited citizen, the ladies
might do so, start a project to erect a neat
and substantial flag pole on the square
with the proper appliances, so that the flag
can be easily hoisted and lowered and
not be left as it was during all kinds of
weather to whip and tear in pieces.
