The next play of Edmond Rostanf
will he played in the year fa21. How
do ] know? I am sure, because the
Angel of the Rules of Paradise" who
foretold that the United States would
one day own everything up to the
North Pole has told mo.
Here is the way 1t is figured out
Rostand was born in the year 1868
Add up these figures and you get %
The first seven years are of no moment
In an intellectual life, hence you must
add % plus {. which gives 80. Now,
1868 plus 80 equals 1898. when "Cyrano
de Bergerac" was produced.
Reverse % and You get 32 Add 30
to 1865 and you get 1900, the year
Sarah Bernhardt first played "I.Aig-
lon Take 1900 and add the sum of
tho figures of which 1t Is composed,
that Is 10. and you have 1910, which
is the date of "Chantecler's first 'ce-
cerice.'"
Add to 1910 the sum of the figures
making up the date, which is IL. and
and the total is 1921. Now. you know
figures don't lie, So in the year 1921
You may surely look for Rostand's
new play.
BY the way, hear we are to have a
play by Paul Vebert, in which miner
ais will speak and make love to each
other like Rostand's feathered tribe.
To cap the climax of the misfortunes
OF the Due d'orleans, the official pre-
tender to the throne of France, he
has been robbed of the miniatures of
some of his unofiicyl court ladies. He
declares no Frenchman ever perpetrat-
ed the deed. as Frenchmen arc very
delicate about these matters. The
prince. like all the Bourbons. is a
gay dog.
