Given Animal Protection Medal For
Play That Robbed Birds.
Although it seldom gives proofs of
it's existence. there is society for the
protection of animals in France, and
its award of it's annual grand prize to
Edmond Rostand has led to many pro-
tests.
The award to the author of Chan
tecler" was based on the affection for
the animal creation shown by him in
the play, but many members of the So
ciety are dissatisfied on the ground
that the tremendous display of plum
age worn by Nine. Simone as the
hen pheasant and by the other mem
bers of the cast could only have been
obtained at the cost Of much suffering
to birds.
IT has been asserted that in some
cases the feathers were plucked from
the living birds, while Nine. Simone's
costume contained $500 worth of bird
of paradise feathers.
"Chantecler' was also responsible
for an outburst of the fashion of using
feathers for trimming hats.
