Monsieur Beaucaire. with Cres-
ton Clarke in the title role. made its
second appearance in the auditorium
Tuesday evening and gave enjoyment
to a good-sized audience, although
not as large one as the play merit
ed. When this beautiful romantic
comedy was seen here last winter II
was considered the most finished
dramatic production ever given in
Brattleboro. and there was nothing
about its second performance to
make one change ones mind Mr..
lClarke's Beaucaire is a marvelousiy
iclever piece of acting from beginning
ito end. His every action is suggestive
of the Louis XIV. period, while his
handling Of his lines in the broken
t-pyIisb of a Frenchman is wonderful.
