The play, although embodyng the quintes-
sence Of Parisianism. is free from slang or
boulevard expressions. and is written in abso-
lutely pure French. It is the romance of a
young lawyer (Guitry), who loves and finally
weds bewtchng and clever flower girl (Gra-

barrister from his affection. There are young
Partisan millionaire BrasseuD and his frisky

are the good angels Of the play. The latltudl-
marian theories of Fourier in regard to the in
ssitution of marriage prevail, and this may
somewhat handicap the play before an English
minded audience; but the attention is fixed from
the outset and held to the end. There is a zeal
of Balzac's observation and humanity; dell
cate vein of sentiment supplies the motive power
to the comedy, which is a distinctly higher
plane than anything hitherto attempted by
Capus and is regarded as the most decisive

was known by the firm of the reported recovery of
the picture in Chicago Stories of the discovery of
the missing portrait have REQUIRED at frequent
intervals ever since the picture was stolen.
Lockett Agnew. partner in the firm, did not ap

so often been recovered that he prepared
to believe it until quite that such the fact.
His cousin, Charles Morland Agnew. had cabled
from Chicago that he had bought a Gainsborough.
That perhaps, is the origin of to-days story,
said Mr.. Agnew, so will not pronounce an opin-

be glad. indeed. the picture back. if only TO
contradict the story that ourselves destroyed it.
We have been following cews for years past.
My uncle and father were members of the firm at
the time of it's disappearance. Father has been
dead some years. and uncle retired six years ago.
They completely gave up hope. However. 1 have
been hopeful of its recovery. Father was deceived
five or six times and the firm since Joined it has

Robert Pinkerton, of the chiefs of the de

stolen Gainsborough. reached here this morning
from Chicago, and discussing the London dispatch.
said:
There cannot be the slightest doubt about the
recovery OF the picture, and when C. Morand Ag-
new reaches London and confers with the mem
bers of his house he will doubt fully confirm
the story. He probably fears that there is
danger of losing the picture again. I do not think
that the denial given out in London author

facts in connection with the incident. and you
