Red Letter Events In the Dramatic
History of France.
Perhaps the most striking events In
the artistic history Of France have
been the first performances Of some
Of the great French plays. In few
cases also these occasions have mark
ed the beginning Of new epochs in the
social history of the country, so close
Is the connection between the social
development of the people and Its ex-
preston on the stage. Unless l am
mistaken, there have been but six IN
forgettable first nights since theaters
were established in Paris.
The first occurred in 1887, when Cor
neille's "Cid" took the capital by storm.
Forty years later Racine's "Androm-
ache" created similar sensation.
On the eve of the revolution, in 1884,
Beaumarchals' Marriage Of Figaro"
was received with such delirious en-
thusiasm that three people were sti-
fed in the rush for seats. In 1880
Victor Hugo, in spite Of the determin-
ed opposition of large body Of reac-
tionaries. set all Paris in an uproar
with his Thermal"
These names should be borne in
mind: Corneille, Racine, Beaumarchais
and Victor Hugo. Three Of them at
least have no superiors in the history
Of French literature. Each has one

The policeman ON the beat moved up
the avenue impressively. The impress
siveness was habitual and not for
show, for spectators were few. The
time was barely 10 O'Clock at night,
but chilly gusts of wind, with a taste
of rain in them, had well nigh de
peopled the streets.
Trying doors as he went. twirling his
club with many intricate and artful
movements. turning now and then to
cast his watchful eye adown the pa
cific thoroughfare, the officer, with his
stalwart form and slight swagger,
made a fine picture of guardian Of
the peace. The vicinity was one that
kept early hours. Now and then you
might see the lights of cigar store
or of an all night lunch counter, but
the majority of the doors belonged to
business places that had long since
been closed.
When about midway Of a certain
block the policeman suddenly slowed
his walk. In the doorway of dark
ened hardware store man leaned,
with an unlighted cigar in his mouth.
As the policeman walked up to him
the man spoke up quickly.
