Paris. MARCH s.-Financially the
success of RostandB *Chanticleer" is
phenomenal. II am told that the first
hundred presentations in Paris alone
will bring in no less than $320,000.
When the managers OF Theater Saint
Martin have pocketedsa q million or so,
people will cease to ask: "Is Chan
ticleer' q SUGGEST"
Rostand says: "Do not congratu-
late me. have b4en betrayed by my
interpreters. I suffered the tortures
Of the damned"
Now all the world knows his chief
interpreter is NJ. Gultry, and that
actor and author are not on speaking
terms. 1t is said that on a recent oc-
casion when the poet and his illus
trious family left the theater, Guitry
pointed the finger Of scorn at them
and remarked: There go our coun-
try cousins"
AS to the critics, they are all at
war WIFI e8Cn OLAer. 5s.
Alfred Capus says: "'Chanticleer'
is play on whose success or failure
cannot pronounce until after at least
two hundred representations"
Jules Lemaitre declares: "It is
fable in four thousand verses
Trying to Save the Students
AL Paris is talking of the beautiful
young evangelist, Miss Gertrude Da-
wilson of California In spite Of her
extreme youth. she has already taken
Ia university degree Of NJ. A. Permit
me to say that it Is quite novel pro-
fession for. young lady to exercise
in Paris-that of bringing the heather
into the fold. Y:
Just at present Miss Davidson, has
taken the Latin quarter in hand. I
have heard Miss Davidson preach, and
her discourse left no doubt in my
mind as to tho spirituality and beauty
of her mind. Her pulpit is In the
American Students hotel, in the
Boulevard Saint Michel, and her con-
gregation is made da4of students from
all 4.arfs Of the w6t4Gy. ~
Christians, 4pagaAs, Buddhists, Mo-
hammedans, all sects are represented
at these weekly gatherings The con-
version of the old Latin quarter,
which, though not so black as it is
painted, is still. wicked enough, is a
heroic task for the charming young
Californian.
Never in the history of our salons
of painting, have the pictures of wom-
en- appeared to so much advantage
as they do, now. The salon of wom-
en- painters, now being held in the
Grand Palais, is only second to that
of the Societe National des Beux Arts
held every spring in this city. am
glad to see so many American women
painters ably competing in this exhi-
bition with our own Duches De Ro-
han and the Duchess D'Uzes.
The famous. Marquise de Wentworth
you all know. Not long ago the min
lister Of fine arts, NJ. Dejardin Beau
metz, declared to President Falliers:
"Her name is always guarantee for
good work." President Falliers per-
sonally bestowed his praises upon
her.
American Artist to the Front
American women artists seem to
have particular penchant for paint
ing portraits. There is an excellent
portrait from the brush of Miss Media
Wright Robinson of New York to be
admired; also one by Nine. Helene
de Morales of Detroit, Mich. The
miniature Of Miss Irva Lee Kuter,
who lives in the Boulevard Saint
Michel. have attracted a great deal of
Rox ,nk
les.
Like the Marquise de Wentworth,
Miss Mary Franklin paints many re-
ligious subjects. Her two chief ex-
hibits are IA Scene at st. Marks,
Venice" and the Cathedral of Au-
tun." am told that the presence of
the Marquise de Wentworth on the
/! jury accounts for the pictures of the
American painters being so we'll hung.
They have better places than those OF
any other foreign painters.
The matrimonial affairs of King
Manuel of Portugal are in the hands
of two of the most skilled matchmak-
ers in Europe. These are his mother.
Queen Amelie, and his friend King
Edward of England. The gracious
Amelie is already at Biarritz and King
Edward will shortly join her for the
purpose of arranging marriage for
the youthful king.
Though it is said on excellent au-
thority that he did not favorably im-
press the young English princess, it
is still thought that King Edward and
Queen Amelie may come to an UNDER
standing. But, after all. what have
the daughters of the king to do with
the choice of their husbands?
