New Paris Drama

"L'Armature," a new piece by M.
Brieux, which has just been produced
at the vaudeville theater in Paris,
is founded upon novel by Hervieu
which was published a dozen years ago.
1t is strong but violent and disagree
able, being akin, apparently, in its
general nature to Les Affaires sont
Les Affaires." A coarse, sensual mil
lionaire, who dominates the fortunes
of most of his associates, conceives a
passion for a beautiful young woman
whose husband is in his power. He
offers to save him in return for her
self surrender, but is repused at
first with scorn and fury. But the
woman cannot face financial ruin, and
in the end yields.
Later on her husband is led to sus-
pect her, and in a highly wrought
scene forces her to confession. Then
he rushes off to kill the betrayer. But
meanwhile the Croesus of yesterday,
by one of those sudden turns of fort
une so convenient on tne stage, mas
become bankrupt. and been stricken
with insanity upon the refusal of his
wife to part with one penny of her
private fortune to help him., There
fore, when the avenger reaches the
house of his foe he finds him a glib
bering maniac who dies as he seizes
him by the throat.
All this is but a very slight variation
upon one of the oldest of melodramatic
themes but the tale is told with su-
perior skill, and is acted with great
effect by M. Chelles as the golden
monster, Georges Grand, Bertha Cerny
and others. No doubt the piece will
be seen on this side of the Atlantic be-
fore long.

FESTIVAL OF PRUNE BLOOM

namentation and garnishing of the en-
tire town takes place and every flower
of the season is plucked to grace its
float, automobile, carriage, bicycle,
trap or horse. Fruit blossoms, violets,
purple and white lilacs, roses, orange
hued California poppies, scarlet ger
aniums. purple and white wistaria,
Shasta daisies, wild mustard, airy
and graceful rose peonies, fragrant
daphines, daffodils, flags and iris. wild
flowers and tame, all add their graci-
Gus quota to the great panorama.
And among the many who are pres
ent each year to see this wondrous
display are many from the Atlantic
coast, who return to their homes with
wonderful. unbelievable tales of the
floor of an entire valley county covered
with fragrant blooms.

D'AnnuRziO'S Plays

SignOr Gabrielle q AnnunElo is IoL
very we'll known in this country out
side of New York, but for what vogue
he has here he is also indebted to a
woman. Madame Duse introduced
dAnnunzio to the American public as
a playwright and as a poet, and to- her
persistent advocacy. made practical by
the continued presentation of his
dramas, his fame in America is un-
doubtedly due Without his plays we
should not know d'Annunzio, and with
out Madame Duse we should not know
Of the plays.
D'Annunzio is a native of Southern
italy, having been born in the Abruzzl,
which province he still regards as his
home. The literary enterprise which
he hopes to make the main work of his
life is a series of tragedies illustrating
the political and social history of his
native district The plays must needs
be tragedies, as the people of Abruzzi
have loved tragedies since the dawn
OF time, and he who writes of them
can only write under the inspiration of
Melpomene.
This series will consist of the fol-
lowing plays: "Primavera Sacre"
(Sacred Spring.. a prehistoric subject,
going back to the earliest human ex-
periences on the shores of the Adriatic;
La Figlia Di Torio" (Torio's Daugh-
teri, embodying legend of the middle
ages; La Fiaciola Sotto II Maggie"
(The Light Under a BusheD, and III
Dio Scacciato" (The Outcast Cod. OF
these, SACRED Spring and "Torio's
Daughter" have been for some time
before the public. and have been
translated into our own and other
languages. 1.-The Light Under Sa
Bushel" has just now been published
in Italy, and has been presented as a
play in several italian cities. The
Outcast God" is yet to be written, hqt
it is presumed it will deal with the
gradual extinction of superstition, If
not of religion, under the influence of
the progress OF science and civilization.
1.-THE Light Under Bushel' is said
to be an exceedingly gloomy tragedy
or, rather. melodrama, the theme being
the decay OF a noble family Of the

DIR. Alexander j. McIvor-Tyndall am
nounces that next Sunday afternoon
will be the last of the series of Sun
day afternoon lectures which he
has been delivering at Blan-
chard hall. In period ex-
tending over eighteen months, the
famous psychologist has addressed
large gatherings. Perhaps one rea-
son for this is that DR.. McIvor-Tyndall
has covered wider range of subjects;
he expresses a broader and more SYM
pathetic conception of life's complexi-
ties than is exhibited by the average
imam with a message" The theme
of the lecture for this afternoon is

How to Avoid It." Next Sunday af-

As To English Clothes

In chophouse near Herald square
can be found at lunch every day little
coterie consisting of Frederick Latham,
Bruce Edwards, Nat Roth and Louis
Nethersole. The latter was bemoaning
the fact that it would be necessary TO
have some clothes made in New York.
English clothes!" exclaimed Mr..
Roth with something very like snort.
English clothes. indeedl Why, those
English tailors cut out clothes with a
knife and fork. They take bag, cut
it up the middle, sew it up again, and
call it a pair OF trousers. That's the
way they make clothes over there"
"Well. why is it, then, that so many
Americans come back from London
with their trunks charged with English
clothes?" demanded Mr.. Nethersole.
ITO wear fishing. my boy. That's
what they get them for, and because
they are as you say-charged. Men
who can pay for their clothes get
them in New York

Barney'S Return

Barney is coming back not as a head
liner at the Casino or the Orpheum,
but as real live star, with his own
company. Tomorrow evening his name
will be posted over the door of the Ma
son opera house, and Barney will have
achieved the goal for which he has
striven so long.
The vehicle which is said to be car
rying him on to glory is from the pen
of Harry D. Cottrell, and is entitled
1.-The Financier."
Barney got his start when he ap-
peared at several of the local clubs in
Hebrew representations. One evening
he received a telephone message ask
ing him to perform before one of the
swell clubs that evening and promis-
ing to pay him we'll if he would do so.
At the appointed hour he was on hand,
and went on and made big hit. On the
same bill was a famous vaudeville ar
tist.
After the performance the manager
handed Barney an envelope in which
was $40. Of course he thought he had
made SuCh nit THAT tHey were pdyihsS
him we'll for his work. Overjoyed at
the thought, he Immediately sought out
some friends and they proceeded toF
nearby restaurant and ordered spread
with plenty of drinkables to celebrate
his success. Just as the waiter had
given him a check for $14, in rushed
the manager, very much excited, and
said to the would-be actor: Barney,
give me back that envelope. made
a mistake and gave you the one be-
longing to the vaudeville star. Here
is yours" And he handed him $40.
Well, of course Barney gave back
the $40 and that left him only $40 with
which to pay the $14 check However,
he cleared himself by borrowing from
his guests. But to this day when he
gets his pay envelope he always says:
"Sure this don't belong to somebody
else? Novel; l-alright-what?"
Mr. Bernard was born in the Jewish
section of New York and spent most of
his life there.

the feudal family will pass out of ex-
istence.
The subject is anything but attrac-
tive, unless, possibly, to the people of
the Abruzzi sympathetically concerned
with the fortunes of their ancient no
bility, and as the action of the play is
carried forward by conspiracies, mur-
ders and ting degradations, it
is hardly supposable that it can ever
be made acceptable to American play
goers. Even Madame Duse would

its rare perfumes; artists dream
and paint the splendors of the
southland and the Orient, but fairer
far are the blossoms in the prune,
almond, apticot and peach orchard of
the Santa Clara valley, in California.
The people of this modern happy
valley have instituted a fiesta de las
flores that they call the "bloom fes-
tival," which takes place each year
early in April at Saratoga, several
miles from San Jose. Like the older
flower festivals of this state, the rose

of Los Angeles, in early June-the
blossom festival of Saratoga is fixed
feast, which is enthusiastically and
religiously celebrated by the flower
worshppers, which include every one
within reach of the place.
Five years ago the Rev. S. r. Will

tival and the suggestion was warmly
welcomed. And now the orchardists,
whose prune trees. except for two
weeks Of riotous bloom, mean to them
simply so much fruit to the tree, have
for five years celebrated the coming
OF the blossoms.
The city of San Jose. Jealous of the
success of the venture, has already
come to the fore with a blossom fes-
tival of its own. A gorgeous pageant
of flower decked vehicles, blossom
wreathed horses and stately floats of
bloom draws attention away from ma
