GENESIS OF CHANTECLER

Edmond Rostand gives an account
of the genesis of his sensational play,
"Chantecler," in the Theater magazine.
Says M. Rostand:
ut was in 1901 or 1902, whilst enjoy
ing a country walk in the neighbor-
hood of Cambo, that I came upon
farmyard scene-ordinary enough per-
haps, with its geese and pigeons, its
chickens and guinea-fowl scratching
about, dog prowling and cat doing in
the sunshine. Suddenly a cock crowed
and came strutting upon the scene.
What a proud, staggering entrance ne
made-like bravo of the olden time.
dauntless and domineering, ready Tor
any adventure at hand from gallantry
to combat and slaughter-a king
amongst his subjects. In an instant.
i'm a flash, / saw my drama. 1t was
not a thought that arose in my mind,
but vision that seized upon my
imagination-not the idea of a lot of
men masquerading as birds and ami
mails, but a Veritabe stage reproduce
ton of what was actually before my
ewes. and the sensations it awoke
within me I felt the inspiration Of a
play i'm which these creatures should
be the dramatis personae moving
about among a setting which should
be a real presentment of this rustic
scene The vision obsessed me, and a
scenario rapidly shaped itself in my
brain, absorbing to itself various ideas
belonging to other nebulOus projects L
had in mind at the moment-Don
Quixote, Polichinelle and what not.
So, in no time at ALL LIE Chantecler'
was blocked out, though it was a year
or more before I put pen to paper in
the detailed writing of it, First of all,
I must consult Couuelin-Coquelin. the
very incarnation of my superb, joyous,
heroic, aggressive, arrogant. noisy.
principal character as | had conceived
him, carrying his crest high like the
plume of CyranO. 'COquelin, mon
vieux,' said I, how would you like TO
play a role without facial expression.
without hands, arms or gestures, and
tricked out in the plumage of a bird?
In short. how would you like to play
a straight rooster?' I shall never for
get the look poor Coquelin gave me It
was as though I had struck him sud-
den blow in the stomach. But after
the first shock he pulled himself to-
gether and listened to my exposure of
the idea with a growing interest that
presently became enthusiasm. When
he went back to Paris from that visit
he was Chantecler himself"
1t may be interesting to note that
"ChantecIer' is not as great a novelty
as was at first supposed. In the six
teenth century "Aesop's Crow was
performed in England. In the play all
the players were dressed as birds

vocal selections in French. German and
Italian, and also will render several
violin solos. Miss Clara Van Zandt,
besides being a story teller and monol-
ogist of ability, is a vocalist, and she
will appear in both capacities. The
Spanish trio, De la Sierra, Pla and
Calvo, will have a new series of selec-
tions, both solo and ensemble. and Miss
Byron who is immensely liked, will
give new songs. A special feature will
be made of the entertainment for st.
Patrck's night March II, when Irish
music and songs will prevail and Irish
decorations will be largely in evidence.
