In a communication to the Commission

planted upon the sidewalks thereon. II

Belasco,

The frailty and foible Of French FEM
ininity was depicted in Victorien Sardous
three-act comedy, "Divorcons," at the Be-
lasco last night. The title of the play,
translated into English, is Divorce U.s.
and its presentation by the Arden company
was most effective. Throughout the action
OF the comedy was an effervescent vein Of
satire in dealing with the divorce enigma as
presented to the people of France several
years ago. Instead of the tragedy that
would almost invariably follow such love
affair as that Of Madame Cyprienne Pru-
nelles, should such thing be enacted in
real life elsewhere but in France, the mat
ter ends in laughable comedy of errors
Madame Prunelle longs for the novelty Of
being divorced. Her husband cunningly
falls in with her desire, and apparently uses
all his wiles and wits to further the rcheme
After consenting to the separation, in order
that she may marry her cousin, Adhemar
de Gratignan, who processes a passion for
her, the husband seemingly unconsciouSly
becomes the lover while waiting for the day
of separation, and eventually, without effort,
wins back the affection of his errng and
indiscreet wife In the meantime she Is en-
abled by the interesting action of the play
to make several odiouS comparisons be-
tween the man she had sworn to love and
honor and the f1ippant and unstable Adj
hemar who had been a supplicant at her
altar of Inconsistency. Adhemar finally
and is made to feel the full weight of his
bastard conduct.
Edwin Arden, as Henri des Prunelles
cleverly portrays the character, and his
acting while winning back his wife from
her misconception is admirable. Miss Chrys-
tai Herne, as Cyprienne, the foolish and
caprcious wife, gave a splendid portrayal
of the giddiness and susceptibility of some
women, who would yield to the spirit of
giddy adventure and foolish vivacity al
though such yielding required the sur
render of all that has been dear to her,
even though one of the assets was hus-
band who seemed obstinate and unroman-
tic. Her varying moods from anger to
pleasure and from tears to laughter were
splendidly portrayed.
Although intended as a small part of
'Divorcons,' Mr.. Edward Ellis in his depic-
ton of the character of Joseph, the head
waiter of the Grand Hotel, was more than
clever and made several distinct hits.
Others in the cast who deserve honorable
mention We're Charles Arthur as Adhemar,
Charles Hammond, friend of PrunelleS
Edwin Fowler NJ. Bafourdn, H. S. AL
len as the nervous and fidgety police in
spector, Van Dusen Phillips as Prunelles'
| servant, Jessie G1endinning as Madame de
Brionne, a young widow very much interest
law; Rosetta Brice Cyprienne's maid,
and Alice Butler an old maid also in
terested in the divorce law. There were
several encores, and the stage settings
were adequate.

RICHARD DEXTER, A CARPEN-

Richard Dexter, carpenter, forty-twc
years Of age who boarded at 1854 GirGrd
street northeast selected an uncomfortable
place between the tracks of the City and
Suburban line near Rhode Island avenue
and Brentwood road this morning for bed
and about o'clock he was struck by a car
and killed. Rhode Island avenue Is not
lighted where the accident occurred. Even
when the rays from the headlight on his
car fell upon the tracks Motorman John G.
Haley did not recognize the obstruction as
the body Of a man. He had recently had
trouble with boys piling stones upon the
track and thought this morning that his
car had struck another such obstruction
until he went back and observed the re-
mains.

ter was killed and he remained there with
the crew OF the car until the arrival Of the

quest tomorrow morning.
Native Of Maine.

and had resided in this city nearly twenty
years. He was widower.
1t Is believed by the police that Dexter
must have reached the place where he was
killed within thirty minutes Of the time of
the accident, as another car had passed
over the road half an hour before. It was
Motorman Haleys last trip for the night
and he was journeying from Maryland for
the purpose Of turning in his car at the
lexington barn. Harry Faya, the con-
ductor, was on the rear of the car. He
felt the shaking when the obstruction was
struck and he went back with the motor
man to make an investigation. The motor
man and conductor examined the body of
Dexter and found that life was extinct.
They then summoned Policeman Jet to take
charge Of the body.
In addition to taking charge Of the body
