Richard Mansfield.

Richard Mansfeld's coming has made the great actor the most interesting of current topics. Every morsal of gossip in the famous "Beaucaire' is seized upon with avidity. This letter from a socie- taire of the Comedie Franchise traveling in America appeared in one of the Pa risian journals
 Last night I saw the great Mansfield. He Is marvellous. It was inconceivable. He played a Frenchman I was unable to believe he was not a Frenchman in birth and blood. did not understand the English words, but his eyes. his face. his head, his hands. his body, his silence speak language which is universal and is eloquent to the eye. l understood all At times he dropped in word or phrase in French. could not believe I was not listening to our Coquelin or good Mounet- Sully. Those words were sweet mes- sengers from home, souvenirs from across the sea. They say he could play Shake speare or Moliere in Frencn. Now I can believe it. How this man would play the third ace of Cyrano. His Beaucaire is comedy. It Is diversion. a sunbeam; but until had seen it did not realize how great art could dignify comedy. make 1t great as romance. and pathos and tragedy They say M. Mansfield paints, composes music. is a poet, plays many instruments and sings divinely can be- ieve 1t all His Beaucaire Is a mosaic of all these"
 Richard Mansfield will be at the lief ferson Theatre next Thursday.
