audiences We're wont to yawn audibly
and fall asleep when the apathy of the
actors and performances justified that
course. But on this occasion the indig-
nant audience, driven to desperate
by the platitudcs of Aspar, voiced their
anger by Kisses, which drove the ac-
tors into temporary retirement. accord

popular with the masses and was

four strips of lath, of which Deacroix
made a rude framework for his mas

salon. But he had hardly hope that
his picture would be accepted.
On opening day Delacroix went to
the salon, but failed to find his paint

about, when he noticed great crowd
