legged that the actress was originally booked in
syndicate theatres, but that the latter recently
withdrew those bookings and he urged that the
French authorities protest against such action
Ambassador Jusserand asked for q complete
record of the case. and said that he would re-
view the affair with view to possible instruc-
tions to the French Consul in New-York to take
