VICTOR HUGO FESTIVAL

The dedication of the Rodin sta
tue of Victor Hugo in Paris on Sept.
- will be made the occasion of a
weeks celebration in memory of the
puet. The observances will include
an Official ceremony at the Pantheon,
revival of lie Roi s'Amuse" at
he Coincide Franchise and fete in
front of Notre Dame. These are uni
que honors to an authors fame even
at time when literary commemor-
atoms are most in vogue. Other ma
lions have paid centennial tributes
to their great writers within the
year, but 1t has remained for France
to out do them all by devoting a
weeks festival to Hugo.
The date chosen for the celebra-
tion is the fiftietR anniversary of the
appearance of the book of verse on
which his reputation as poet large
ly rests, La Legende des Siecles. T"
Hugo's gnius as poet, novelist, dra-
matist, prophet was so manysided
that he has left posterity an en-
barrassment of anniversary to cele-
brate. In 1912 will occur the semi
centennial OF LES Miserables.' -
Next year will mark both the eight
ieth anniversary of Hermann and
the triumph of romanticism on the
French stage and the twenty-fifth
anniversary Of Hugo's death.
A large audience on the American
side OF the water knows Hugo as a
great romance writer, and smaller
circle is acquainted with his plays,
but comparatively few read his
poems. With his fame as a politi-
clan we are even less familiar. Hugo
made his verse the vehicle of a pow

ed Napoleon the Little" in two oil

him fair game for the critics. Yet
