Alexandra Bison. whose impressive
melo-drama, Madame X, continues
to create such a furore throughout
Europe and America is one of the
very few dramatists OF any time who
has been able to achieve great sue
cess In both serious and lighter fields.
For many years NJ. Bison stood in
the very first rank of French writer's
OF farce and light comedy. his plays
being extraordinarily successful at
home and in England, Germany, Amer
lea and other lands. But until he
wrote Madame X he never even at
tempted anything more serious than
a comedy of manners
All the mere remarkable then. is
Bissons triumph in dealing with that
most sacred and, dramatically. most
difficult of human emotions-mother-
love. 1t may be taken as fresh evil
dence that the ablest humorists are
at bottom, the most sincere and the
most gifted in understanding the finer
qualities of humanity.

not begin to compare with that OF this
