His regnsnt conduct. Constable OF Frsrce, is
the substance Of the play. and this conduct Is by
turns humorous. sentimental and uartial-seeing
that he passes Judgment his unruly old COM
panions Of the tavern; mystihes and fascnates the
woman OF his love- and, by valorous leadership OF
army in battle defeats the assailing forces OF
rebellious Burgundy and maintains intact the fort
tude OF Paris. At the close Of his brief reign
and when the scaffold has been set for his execu-
ton. he is redeemed by the devoted fidelity Of
woman's heart-kinS Louis having agreed to ac-
cept vicarious sacrifice and Katherine de Vau-
celies whom Villon loves, being willing to die for
him.
This is "Gringoire"-with vengeance. But it is

Miss Cecilia Lotus impersonates the heroine and
expresses the conflict in the mind Of naughty
woman, whose love is momentarily but potently
antagonized by her pride-for, though Katherine
would gladly wed the reputed Constable Of France,
she shrinks from marriage with the vagaoond
minstrel The cast is populous. The author has
contrfved situations OF bustling activity and has
provided moments Of agreeable suspense and

consistent sincerity OF serious drama SUCH as
grows out Of actual human life and takes hold
upon actual human feelings, It is a graceful piece
Of Eossarner, and such It is welcome. The style

the colloquy Is retarded by some excess OF sentt-
mental versincation and by a superfux OF foWery
talk-not TO speak of needless persons, while the
situation Of the gibbet handled in such way as

frenzy must not be examined too closely. Iris
