FRENCH CRITIC
Lambert Thinks 1t but Natural
That Americans Should Neg
leCt Foreign Pieces.
Special Gable to The American.

PARIS, Sept 27.-From time to
time the French pay the Americans
the compliment Of taking their artis-
tic efforts seriously. American paint
ers have prominent places in the an
nual salons, while now and then some
Poe or Whitman is translated here.
A steady growth of the American
drama at the expense of foreign play
wrights has now won attention. The
Paris Temps, some nights ago. de-
voted a whole page to this interesting
subject. The writer of the article. L.
G. Lambert, knows New York as we'll
as Paris; his views are very sensible
and generous.
Instead Of sneering at Americans
for preferring their own plays to for
eign works. he thinks it natural that
they should wish to free themselves
from foreign chains.
Their thirst for individuality" ne
says, is most honorable manifesto
tion Of their national conscience. It
need not trouble us, for French cul-
ture is an indispensa BILE compliment
to the American.
Most of the eminent Americans IN
whom devolves the duty of developing
their country intellectually know this
quite well.
American authors, who formerly
only had ideas, are beginning to have
talent and technique
Lambert has no very high opinion
OF American managers who adopt the
drama for the money in il. He tells
French playwrights to remember thai
only one American manager can speak
French, and he attributes the increas-
Ing disregard Of foreign plays largely
to certain agents who killed the goose
that laid the golden egg largely by
their cupidity and eagerness to unload
their wares merely to earn commits
| sions.

'Zeke, the Country Boy

At the Bijou this week the Jewell
Kelley Stock Company will continue
its run with a presentation of "Zeke,
the Country Boy" Here is an oppor-
tunity for character delineation, on
which achievement the Jewell Kelley
Stock Company plumes itself And
many things in this line they have
done well, too, since they came first
to Atlanta.
The run of the stock company has
been exceptional as to length. as well
as to continued popularity Many OF
its productions have been heavy eff
forts, tense melodramas, and even
tragedies. This of next week will be
very light in tone and they promise
it will be amusing.
