A Dramatist's ROnanya

The enc dramatist who is doing mar
velously well in Paris is Edmond Ros-
tand. He is filling two theaters nightly.
Sarah Bernhardt with ''IiAiglon." and
the Porte Saint-Martin with "Cyrano de
Bcrgerac." The sums earned by the
poet-playwright are almost fabulous.
His authors fees for July, month in
which the sweltering heat affected the
run even of "L'Aiglon," exceeded G13OO.
In August they rose to $500, and there
is little doubt that from now till Sarah
Bernhardt closes her season NJ Rostand
will receive considerably more than
f2C00 on the 10th of each month-the
payday of French dramatists. In addi-
tion to the authors fees there are the
seats given to the author for every per-
formance. the sale Of which brings in at
least tl2O month. At moderate esti-
mate Rostand has made G80,000 since
the first night of "Cyrano de Bergerac.'
