KYLE Bellows SWORD.

The sword worn by Kyrle Bellew in
4 Gentleman OF France" is a French
dueling blade OF the exact period of the
Huguenot uprising which furnishes the
lurid background for Miss Ford's play
and. moreover. has historic interest in
connection with that famous epoch. The
sword was originally the property Of a
French Huguenot officer by the name Of
Gabrielle de Lorme by whom il was
handed down through succeeding gen
erauons as a family heirloom. One of
the latter day De Lormes presented It
10 an actor friend at the Coincide
FRANCHISE about nifty years ago and up
10 about fifteen years ago il repoSed in
the property room Of the house of Mo
liere.
From that resting place IL was seized
by NJ. Got. the distinguished Paris ia
vorite. and presented perhaps without
ncense) 10 the hate Charles Coghlan
who prying about the interesting old
property room. had admired il hugely.
Charles Coghlan gave it TO Kyrle Bel
lew shortly after 10 add 20 his valuable
collection OF swords. OF which trophies
H. IS an ardent collector.
Occasion never served for the use OF
this ancient and ornate fighting iron
until Air. Bellew was called upon 10 es-
say the role OF Castor de Marsac in =
Gentleman of France.

Francesca da Rimini'' was one Of his
ST. ongest plays. As Lanciotto he was in
imitable, and as the play was a very
good one the combination naturally
proved potent from the box o9ice stand
point.
When Mr.. Barrett died, Francesca
da Rimini'' was permitted to slumber
until it occurred to Otis Skinner that
the principal male role was just about
mis- size. 1t was certainly large enough
for him, but he nevertheless did very
well with the play. Then Buses Amer
lean tour was announced. and the inter
esting statement was added that she
would have as one of the important
features of her repertory version of
Francesca ia Rimini' made especially
for her by that shining example OF
Italian manhood and honor, Gabriel
D'Annunzio. That would have seemed
10 be enough; but, no-along comes Sa-
rah Bernhard with the coy admission
that it has long been the ambition of
her life TO show Parisians. and perhaps
