 This play was almost a mono logue m which the blind Countess, who always hated red carnations q Garofoli Rossi) becoming blind, IS placed in an institution opposite which IS garden of the objectionable flowers. Although she cannot see them she is con- scious of the odor and constantly fumes and frets because of the annoyance they give her. Every one in the institution comes in for a share of her i'll humor and finally her husband, from whom she has been estranged, comes to be reconciled with her. While he is with her she dies and the only fewer he can find to place in her cold hand is red carna- ton. Amusement and pathos were mingled. It was sad to see the misery of the poor Countess but, as she scolded one and com- plained about another, the efforts of those around her to dismiss each other while making no sound to attract the attention of the Countess, gave fine opportun- ity for some very effective and highly amusing pantomime.
