An interesting Itesrary lawsuit is imminent In

d'Annunzio's play, "The Daughter Of Jorio,"
the Neapolitan poet srarpetu wrote burlesQuc
OF the drama, which he entitled 1.-THE Son of
Jorio,' and as he claimed, obtained D'Aunun-

By the night of the first performance. however,
D'Annunzio appears TO have changed his mind;
at any rate. his friends appeared in force at the
theatre and raised such disturbance that the
parody could not be played to the end. Dan
nunzio makes the peculiar charge Of ''plagia-
rism" against the parodist and the matter has
now been carried into court, Scarpetti making a
counter claim for injury TO his honor" His
lawyer has declared that the charge Of plagia-
rism against his client is ridiculous. but an
