How French PIaywriGhts Are Protected
"In Paris the Society of French

disfavor,. says the New York Even
ing Post. ut disciplines these gentle
men and keeps them in strict order in
their dealing with the poor, impracti-

was Scribe who founded this society,
which, since its beginning in 1929 and
its reorganization in 1887, has become
so powerful that it is now the ruling
factor in the French theatre. For
merly the managers paid for the use
of the authors brains whatever pit
lance they thought sufficient. Scribe
brought his colleagues together that
they might get their rights. To-day
this body looks after its members as
well as it ever did, and reaches out
into the control of the theatres in its
efforts to protect them against any
movement in theatrical affairs that
may appear to put their welfare for a
