n ARIs' January 2L-(special)-Al-
~ though Sacha Gutry is handi-
- capped by being the son of the
most powerful actor on the French stage
and q serious handicap it is-he already
occupies a place in the front rank of
French footlight favorites. Even if he
had failed as an actor, he would still be
the author of two remarkably successful
comedies "The Night Watchman" and
THE Taking of Berg-op-Zoom.' He Is,
moreover, a clever Observation-Disclosures
of his drawings fetch high prices-he pro-
duces his own plays, and manages for
himself-and he is not yet % years old.
This would satisfy any ordinary man,
but "Sacha." as his friends call him, has
a big appetite. He has made enough in
the last two years to have his own thea
tire, and it is being built for him in the
Champs Elysees. The young actor-author-
manager is also the husband of his lead
ing woman, whose stage name is Char
lotte Lyses
1t is not surprising that the fame of
this remarkable couple has penetrated
into other lands% Their recent tour in
Italy. where audiences are keenly critical,
was a triumphant success. In Rome,
Milan and Florence the theatre was
packed every night, and the receipts
reached record figures. Banquets were
given in their honor in every town they
passed through and they were 'feted''
with real Italian enthusiasm.
In a memorable article which he con-
tributed to the 'Matin'' a year or two
ago, Sacha Guitry reproached the ma
jority of mankind with being ugly, stupid
and bad tempered" He explained, how
ever. that it was their own fault. There
was no necessity, he argued for going
about with long face and looking glum
as long as one can buy a dinner and
digest it.
Laugh yourself, and make other peo-
thing in the world and il will make you
good looking intelligent and happy"
Unlike most doctors, young Guitry takes
his own medicine, and has acquired a
smile that won't come off. He generally
gets a big laugh when he makes a nom
professional appearance. Some OF his
jokes. however, are of the dry sort He
went into an American boot store on the
Boulevard des Capucines the other day
and bought pair of yellow boots. After
he had chosen them he handed them to
the young saleswoman and asked, How
much" The latter looked inside the
boots and read out the number 7iS2, ia
the clerk at the pay desk. Without walt.
ing, Sacha Guitry went to the desk, took
out a large pocketbooS and gravely count
ed out 70o0 franc notes, four of 100 each.
and was just going to make up the
amount in gold and silver when the as.
tonlshed clerk shouted OUT Its a mis-.
take sir; 74s2 is the registeres number of
the boots, not the price! They cost 40
francs (sS)!" Without showing the least
surprise. Saeha gathered up the notes
and put down two gold 21-frane pieces.
II thought they were rather dear" he
said, mildly, and went out. The clerks
are still thinking it over.

province of San Bias He expects to
build town along the San Bias coast,
and to induce immigrants to settle there
and go into the cocoanut raising. That
whole region is spotted with cocoanut
islands. The trees grow without culti-
walton, and they are sold by the In
d12ns to traders, who go from island
to island in boats.
The San Bias Indians are semi savage
and until now they would have moth
ing to do with the whites President
Porras has in some way acquired their
friendship, and they are comforting with
the Panama government as to its plans
Tor the development of their country
These plans include a town to be built
on a beautiful bay near the mouth of
the Aguada creek on the Gulf of San
Bias
As to the Panama cocoanuts 1t Is
claimed that they are the best on tho
market, having more oil than the nuts
OF other parts of the world. The 18TH
mus of Panama is outside the hurri-
cane belt and the trees are not in dam
ger of being blown down, as in some
of the West India islands. l understand
that a Colon merchant is setting out
$4,000 cocoanut palms at Nombre de
dos and that a grove of 100000 is be-
ing planted near Almrente bay, where
the United Fruit company has its largo
holdlhgs. Other groves are being set
out in Panama bay and on Montijo bay
but there is no land that surpasses
that of the San Bias coast and its
thousands of islands in the raising of
this crop. A cocoanut grove will fruit
about five years after the sprouts are
planted and it is estimated that grove
of 10000 trees can be brought into
bearing for about So per tree When
mature the trees should each net the
owner something like n dollar per
year.
