on the last night, when on going to

Invitations and large dinners he found
them alone. After a very pleasant
evening he thanked them for asking
him in so friendly a manner. where
upon they explained that the invitation
had been for week later. but that
they had been only too delighted at
his mistake. On hearing this Sir VIII.

Paris, Feb. S,--"Chantecler" the
bird play masterpiece" of Edmond
Rostand. Is too poetic for any but the
literary Site in the opinion of many of
those who witnessed the initial per.
formance at the Porte st. Martin the
atre, which did not end until an early
hour this morning.
For this reason, critics are almost
unanimous In predicting that the play
viii have but a limited run and that
II Is doubtful whether IL would pay to
take IL on the road.
From scenic standpoint, Paris has
probably never seen anything surpass-
ing the "Chantecler The access
orles and properties used are so big
that the audience felt itself dwarfed,
The wheelbarrow used In the play is
twelve feet long and all other prop
critics OF corresponding size.
The interest in/the play was so in
tense that thousands stood in n driz-
cling rain about the theater, while the
production was going on. Those who
left the theater between acts were
nearly mobbed by the curious throng
outside which wanted to know how
the play was being received Only
the presence of a large force of po-
lice prevented a riot.
The moral of Chanteeler (rooster)
is that ROSTERS sphere" is the
barnyard. There he Is supreme and
can make his subjects believe that 1t
is his growing that, makes the sun
rise. "Chantecler." driven to desert
the barnyard by It's petty jealousies
and his love for the pheasant. goes to
the woods to live. There he Is be-
guiled by the pheasant and awakens
to find that the sun has risen without
his growing His exposure chastens
"Chantecler' and he returns to the
