THIS SCOTCHMAN IS LEADING ACTOR IN
 HOUSE OF MOL|ENE
George Grand Juvenile Lead at "COmedie Fran caise," Really George
 Macleod

Paris, March 1i-(Special That the Celtic temperament stands for something in the dramatic art seems to be proved ern actors. Forbes Robertson and George Grand, both hail from the Land o'Cakes." It was natural enough that the former should gravitate towards London, but to find Scotsman as "Jeune Pre- mier' at the famous "Comedie Fran caise" smacks of the miraculous.
 George Grand" whose real name iS George Macleod, was born on the banks of the Tweed but came to Paris when he was five years old. Here he followed the usual school course, but began to study law after leaving tho Lvcee," as his parents wanted him to enter for the bar. Young Macleod, however. had other ideas, as he was badly smitten by the glamour of the footlights. After a good many rebufrs he got an opening at Antoine's little theatre In the Boulevard Strasbourg. Here he made a successful debut as "Jacdues Martel' In ''Vers LAmour." A year afterwards he was playing tho lead at the "Gymnase" where he remained for four or five years. His dtlulk. WHICH IS easy anu NlNh- out exurberant gesture. attracted the at tention of the late Jules Clarette, who offered him an engagement at the "Comedie Franchise" which is the goal of every French actors ambition. For the last six years George Grand has played the lead fin all tho modern French dramas. His latest success is in the role of Roger Lechatelier.' in the "Marche Nuptiale" by Henri Bataille.
 Grand is still on the right side of f0 but looks 10 years younger owing to q strenuous system Of training which would tax the strength of many younger man Every morning, wet or fine he runs
 from his house in the west of Paris tr Vel 2s files. Tn the afternoon he puts ir a couple of hours at a gymnasium where he practices boxing. He is quite an en- thusast of the noble art and neve, misses a big match if he can help it.
 Going behind the scenes at the "Comedit Francaise'' is an impressive experience As soon as you pass the sacred portals you feel that you have penetrated into the Temple of Dramatic Art. A couple of

So evident Is the truth embodied IN this
maxim Of Solomonu that the most ancient
nations have formed similar proverbs.
4 translation from Horace reads:
By virtues precepts to control
The furious passions OF the soul
Is wider realms to reign
Unenved monarch than II Spain
You could to distant Libya Join
And both the Carriages were thine
And from Ovid we have the identical
thought of Solomon's proverb:
He is more of a hero who has con-
auered himself than he who has taken
the best fortified city
Human reason approves the truth Of
the statement of Holy Writ that self
conquest is the greatest victory that
man can achieve
The Scriptures would not urge this con-
quest of self IL there were not implanted
In man a power by which he was en-
abled to govern his own spirit That
power is reason and conscience when en-
heightened by the word of revelation.
The entrance of Thy word giveth
light" and in that light man finds the
grace, the help, that enables him to rule
himself.
God does not coerce men, but 1t 10 only
Though His gracious influences that self.
subtugation IL attainabIe. He says to ali
men: Come now, let us reason to-
gether."
