~<THEATER FINES OPPOSED.
System Prevailing in Paris Is Held
: to Be Unjust.
reign Correspondence OF The Star

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star
PARIS. August p. 1913.
A campaign has been started in Paris
against the system of fines which prevails
IN Paris theaters.
IL - customary for the MANAGEMENT OF
Paris theaters and music halls to fine
the members of their STATS for small
o6enses and these fines are often out of
all proportion to the salaries earned. The
system Is the more iniquitous because the
money which the fines bring in invariably
goes into the managerial pocket
case was heard in Paris law courts
recently with respect to one of these
Zines. In September, 1912, Mile Jeanne
Fray, young actress at the Cigale,
whose salary was the princely one of
$3.50 q week. missed her cue and was
fined 81 cents by the stage manager She
protested that the fine was unjust, and
NJ. Plateau, the manager of the Cigale,
raised the amount of the fine from 81
cents to 81.
Fray then lost her temper and scratch.
ed the managerial nose She was taken
to the police station and some DAYS aft
erward was sentenced to a weeks impris-
onment and $40 fine for assault Later
she appealed against the verdict and
proved that NJ. Plateau had insulted her
as well as fined her.
The court reduced her fine of $40 to $40
ordered her to pay NJ Plateau 20 cents
damages for his nose Cthe compensation
was reckoned on very moderate scale)
and Cancelled the sentence of imprison-
ment.

Painters at French Village OF
Trepied Pay Little for

day Night.

PARIS, August %, 1913.
One of the cheapest places to live in
all France, and at the same time one OF
the most attractive to lovers Of the open
country. is the sunny village of Trepied.
in picturesque Picardy. This little town
is close to the very fashionable seashore
resorts of Paris PLACE and LIE Touquet.
where prices have scared to the skies.
but nevertheless 1t remains the simple
village that Corot first discovered nearly
q hundred years ago.
Corot painted some Of his well known
canvases near Trepied, and the beauty
Of the surrounding country makes an
equally strong appeal to artists today,
for the Picardy village has been fire.
Quented of late years by group of
American and English artists. many Of
whom have become famous.
Favorite With Americans.
To mention only a few there are Frank
Brangwyn, Sir Alfred East, Hughes Stan
ton, Henry s. Hubbell, Frederick Erie
selke, HI. o. Tanner and Dudley Hardy;
indeed. there is hardly an American
painter who has studied in Europe but
has spent one or more summers paint
ing the silver sand dunes and pine woods
along the coast. or the stately poplars
ana rich pastures inland. Trepied soon
became too small and the artist visitors
flowed over into the fishing town of
Etapies and the famous old walled city
Of Montreuilsur-Mer, made famous by
Victer Hugo and Laurence Sterne
IAfe Is cheap within the boundaries of
the colony. Comfortable farmhouses,
with gardens and barn studios, may be
rented for $50 year.. and there is an
excellent market thrice weekly at Etaples
at which the gossip of the colony is ex-
changed. At Paris PLACE and LIE Tou-
quet gather many persons of wealth and
fashion, and there is golf and polo; but
the two worlds meet only at the annual
summer picture exhibition, which, started
six years ago in the Parish room at
tached to the Church at Paris PLACE, is
now. one of the finest art shows i'm the
French provinces.
Art Collection for Sale.
The magnificent art collection belonging
to the late Deputy Edouard Aynard will
be sold in Paris this autumn.
The collection is estimated to be worth
nearly s2.oOO,O00 and it contains among
other notable pictures, a number Of
primitives by Corneille: Rembrandt
estimated at $lO.OO0; Ruysdael, valued
at $J0.O00. and large number of paint
ings dating from the fourteenth. fifteenth
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. II
addition to these works there are NJ
Awards collections of ivory, ancien
jewels and furniture. some old tapestrie.
valued at $20O.OOO, and three Italian mas.
