We must take leave of this interesting
book with a glance at what Sir Squire

of whose plays he adopted and reproduced

French dramatist a visit in the latter's
country house at M~arly-le-Roi. Sardou.

why man. stability dressed, wearing an
old smoking cap. his throat enveloped in
a white silk mufier. His head in those
days struck bancroft as a mixture OF
familiar points in pictures OF Napoleon,
Voltaire and a typical Jesuit father,
while his smile was almost as telling as
Henry Irving's. He talked with nervous
speed. and then with q charming manre
would check himself politely for his visi-
tors foreign ear. He deeply regretted
knowing no English. but said that his
children. to whom he pointed as they

were learning that language. Bancroft
says that even in a single visit it was
easy to feel that he had read and studied
much. He was known to have rather a
mania for building and rec~onstructing.
He was a hard worker. a great reader,
and loved to be surrounded by beautiful
things" The visitor found that, like the
great majority Of his countrymen. the

A Critic or the English.

Victories usually resemble each other;
it is defeat that always wears an individual
physiognomy. ~Stendhal's failure was pc
culiarly his own, peculiarly complete.
Admired he was by the happy few" yet
he was unread and with the exception Of
Balzac's praise sun during his life
time. He possessed when the moment
was propitious the fascinating inslncerity
| Of the Slav and when the cduseur he came
10 the fore. No one in the salons Of his
day could talk so brilliantly, 80 wittily,
with such a light philosophio touch. His
speech was compact Of epigram, erudition
and paradox. He was more ~blasphemous
than Merimee or Barley d'Aurevilly,
more spontaneous than Wilde. Never
the!ess hes was heartily feared and dis
liked. The story Of his being taken for a
spy was true, though in a political sense
he never was; but a social spy he could be
named. Little escaped him and the
people he encountered had the uncom-
Portable feeling that he was noting for
future use their words and gestures.
There was something enigmatio in his
personality; this stout, plain featured
man wae both an apparition and a jour
palist. The truth is that Stendhal was
very poor and this fact embarrassed him.
His father, -the Jesuit" as he called him,
left him no money and this Infatuated the
son, who, conscious Of his genius. would
have approved Baudelaite's saying: ma
tons, like families, produce great men
against their will Perhaps too his
poverty made him IN enemy Of philau-
thropio works. George Moore's asser-
ton that the ph~ilanthropist is the Nero
OF modern times" would have amused
Stendhal.
Hoofng the rind Of our planet with his
seven league boots OF a cosmopolitan,
Stendhal. as much as he loved Italy,
made everal voyages (they were voyages
In those untravelled timee) to England.
The first was in 1921, the second 1895, the
last 1898. In an agreesbly written book
entitled Stendhai en- Anoleterre. written
in French by an English woman, Doris
GuNNBLL. originally as a thesis for the Sor-
bonnie QSos), we make intimate acouain-

One OF the old comedies which the Ban
crofts chose for revival was Masks and
Faces" written, as IL is well known, by
Charles Reade and Tom Taylor. The
part Of Peg Wellington was played by Mrs.
Bancroft, and that Of Tripiet by her hus-
band. It was not an easy task apparently
to persuade Charles Reade, to whom the
play belonged, to consent to the changes
the Bancrofts sought TO make in his work.
At length, after many a tough fight, they
won the day. Reade accepted every
change and discarded the old book for
q Reade was especially reluctant.
we note, to allow the Banorofts to cut out
the old stacy rhyming tag which closed
the piece and.agree to the pathetic ending
which they proposed,
The Bancrofts. it seems, had many a
talk about the play with Reade and
showed themselves inquisitive as to which
was his share and which was Taylor's.
He frankly told them the whole story Of
the plays growth and completion. always
regarding the work as fairly divided be-
tween the two authors. The conception
of the piece, which arose from his looking
a long time one day at Hogarth's portrait
Of Peg Wofinoton in the Garrick Club, and
the most beautiful scene in the last act
between the two ONE were certainly
Reade's; but Taylor should be credited
with a delightful part Of the second act
and undoubtedly put many Of Reade's
early ideas into more workmanlike shape.
The part Of Peg Wolf ngton was mainly
Reade's work, while that Of Mabel Vdne
was chiefly Taylor's.
That Reade had a singularly varied
nature Ia we'll known. Bancroft thinks
that it never has been more ably described
than by Ellen Terry: Dear, kind, unjust,
generous, cautious. impulsive, passionate.
gentle Charles Reade, who combined 30
many qualities far asunder as the poles!
He was placid and turbulent, yet always
majestic. He was inexplicable and en-
tirely lovable. He was a stupid old dear
and as wise as Solomon. He seemed
g~uileless and yet had moments Of suspi-
oion and craftiness worthy Of the wisdom
Of the serpent"

Among the eminent actors Of an elder
generation with whom Bancroft when a
young mar was brought In contact was
Charles Kean. The author Of these
"reminiscences recalls an incident that
occurred at the Dublin Theatre Royal,
where he was obtaining the salary OF
60 a week during one Of Kean's
engagements. The young man was
seated in the greenroom when Kean
entered and sat down. After staring al

rather frightened the young man he

Gently annoyed the great man on the

Kean said: "Sir, I was at the wing last

The Jealous Wife and as Mephntoph-

OF these "reminiscences recalls Garrick's
