1t will be rather interesting to see what
happens on both sides of the water to
"Mauricette," the English adaptation of
"Jeunness." in which II. B. Irving appeared
for the first time at the Lyric Theater
under American management last Wed
nesday evening For though there was
lusty applause at the end of each act, and
quite roar of enthusiasm after the final
curtain, on thinking 1t all over one grows
less and less satisfied with this piece by
Andre Picard, which has been translated
from the French by II. B. Irving himself.
At the Lyric it is admirably played and
there is much fine workmanship in the
piece, but the author doesn't in the least
convince us that his characters would have
acted as ne makes them act and so. though
the piece ends well and with virtue trium-
plant it remains to be seen how 1t will fare
with future audiences, both on this side of
the Atlantic and on the other.
In Paris "Jeunness," which, OF course,
means youth, ran for something over q
hundred nights and was one of the most
talked-of plays of its season. 1t is all about
four people, a husband and his wife, and
young girl and her lover, and of these the
first. Roger Dautran. French senator and
man of fifty, who has been a lady killer
all his life, is most prominent. In London
Irving plays Roger Dautran, while Marion
Terry is the wife, and Leslie Faber the
young and successful lover. The part of
Maurcette herself Is played by Dorothea
Baird. who in private life is Mrs. H. B.
Irving, and who was the original TriIby in
Beerbohm Trees production of Paul Pot
ter's play.

IDENTIFY scored again. silent since he made
SO great a hit with The Other Danger,
Donnay tried q rather daring experiment In
his new piece, "Paraitre," which was done
a the Theater Francois q few nights ago,
but every one admits that he has carried
Il of with the most complete success.
II is, OF course, a hard and fast rule OF
the French theater that no effective play
can deal with more than two or three lead
ing characters. but in "Paraitre, Donnay
has drawn whole crowd of them, begin
ming with a millionaire and ending with
a socialistic deputy. appearances" the
piece, will probably be called If 1t lis trans
lated into English. for It Is all about what
In the United States is known as putting

other words, the rich Jean Raidzell drives

husband and control the riches of Jean
RaizdelL Needless to say the end is tragic,
with the millionaire shot dead by the So

So Maurice Donnay has added still anoth-
thing must be all the more agreeable to
him If he remembers the days when, a
young man of twenty-five. he drew the
princely salary of five francs a night for
recitng at a Montmartre cafe concert. For
this enormously successful dramatist has
had as romantic career as even the most
extravagant hero of his own plays. A
promising pupil of the Paris Polytechnic,
where Sully Prudhomme, Armand Silvestre
and Marcel Provost all distinguished them
selves Donnay's parents destined him for
an engineer, and so an engineer he be-
came.
But, loathing this with all his heart, he
wrote verses on the sly and finally a play.
which the pToprietOrs of the old ''Chat
Noir" of Montmartre accepted and pro-
duced. When this came to the ears of the
engineering firm who employed him, they
sacked" Donnay forthwith and so 1t was
that the young author really became
launched In literary work. Fol while, 1t
is true he was hard put to II to scratch
along, for his disguised parents We're OBJ
durate, and Donnay had to make the best
he could OF a small engagement at the Chat
NOR where. as turn on-the evening bill
he made imprOmptu verses and read poems
of his own composition.
While thus engaged, however Donnay
also wrote a poetical comedy called ''Ly-
slstrata," and this was subsequently pro-
duced by Porel with a wonderful cast, in
Guiding Rejane and Guitry 1t scored enor-
mously and since that day Donnay has
never looked back. One of the richest of
French playwrights, he declares himself
unable TO work in Paris, and all his plays
are written In the midst of green fields and
trees on his estate not far from Versailles.

The Luck of Jim Ham.

Our old friend Jim Ham Lewis,
he Of the coruscating whisker and
the impassioned economic views, is
in luck once more. 1t is chronic
with him, to be sure; he just can't
keep away from it. He stumbled
into Congress, where his whiskers
and his wit made him famous. He
stumbled out, and became the coun-
sci of sund-y huge octopi against
which he had formerly declaimed
with much effect. Ultimately he
moved to Chicago, attached himself
to the political fortunes of Edward
F. Dunno, and when the latter was
elected mayor became corporation
counsel.
But this is only incidentally. 1t
has long been apparent to us that
Col. jim Ham was marked of fate
for great things. Fortune has been
lavish with her fayors, and her
latest bestowal is far the most strik-
ing.
For Col. Jim Ham has been charg-
ed with contempt of Judge Hum
phrey, him OF Beef trust immunity
bath fame. He filed a suit
against an Illinois water works
company, in defiance of an in
junction issued by Judge Hum
phrey. Promptly the court hailed
him to its bar, and found that is
stock of immunity had been exhaust
ed There was nothing for it but
Colonel Lewis must recant or go to
fail for contempt If he would with
draw the suit he had filed his SEN
tence of sixty days in Jail would not
be executed. Otherwise. to Jail he
goes.
Colonel Lewis took the matter
under advisement His political en-
emies were fearful that he would de-
eide to go to Jail, and thus make him
self an idol of the plain, beef-eating
