During Miss Bngle's long illness as
result Of the wound, several operations
were necessary. One was for the re-
moval Of the bullet and another for the

the former plea a vigorous fight is to be
made for Hamlins life.

HoL Ds UP PLAY.
Rostand's Action Calls Forth Some
Criticism.

Paris, March 29.-Sarah as hunch-
back is so great a success that Sarah
as the devil is postponed. Henri Ba-
TILES Faust, which would have given
la Bernhardt the role of Mephistoph-
eles, will not be staged until next sea-
son. Meanwhile Les Bouffons, the
charming poetical play of Zamacois
fills the house every evening. When
Faust appears, De Max, whose last
great role was Mark Antony in Julius
Caesar, win play Valentine, and Mile
Maud Amy, Marguerite.
Edmond Rostand is rewriting La
Princesse Lointaine for la Grande
Sarah. Incidentally "a question has
arisen whether the young poet is en-
titled to furnish this new version, see
ing that he is under contract to M
Coquelin to supply Chantecler, or, in
default thereof, to withhold his hand
from the other Paris theatres. Is an
old piece retouched, practically rewrit-
ten, a new work, or is it simply an old
one washed and brushed up to date?
That is conundrum that legal minds
may have to solve
Rostand has finished his wonderful
play, in which all the characters are
animals, but refuses to deliver it.
Why? No one quite knows, but it is
generally supposed that he feels the
work to be unplayable. Meanwhile,
criticism initiates him SO greatly that
his friends at Cambo hide the Paris
papers when they discuss Chantecler
and it's non-appearance.
