PARIS, Jan. 3.--The play that
Tristan Bernard has written for
Sarah Bernhard is new departure
for that author. hitherto known for
his comedy and farcical powers, as
witness THE Little Cafe" and Tod
Dies
Jeanne Dore1" as already cabled
to The Sun, Is in five acts and seven
tableaus, which in itself suggests that
1t Is melodrama. as it Is a mix
ture of the comic and tragic which
is given in such portions that 1t has
somewhat an effect Of a moving pic
ture show on the spectator.
The scene is placed in little pro-
vinciai town. Jeanne (BernhardD is
a widow. who keeps q small shop for
the sale of newspapers, writing ma
terial and such things. Her son
Jacques Is twenty. He is high strung
kindly, affectionate and generally
gentle hsit subject TO fts of sudden
anger which change him completely.
His mother knows too we'll that he
inherits this temperament from his
father.
story OF the Play.
Jacques is deeply In love with
Fanny. the wife OF another shop
keeper Fanny has squandered a
thousand francs of her husbands
savings and must replace them.
Jacques to prevent ner going to
Beauvais where she may get the
money, possibly from some other ad-
mirer, begs his mother to give 1t to
him.. His mother refuses; 1t has
taken her years to save such sum
and she knows for whom her son
wants 1t. Jacques then asks his god
father, a churlish old man, for the
sum. but he refuses and taunts the
boy with insults. Seized by an ac-
cess Of rage. Jacques strikes the old
what he has done. he fees without
taking a SOU of his money.
The scene changes to the local pro-
vision shop. The townspeople come
to buy the days food and Tristan
Bernard allows his comedy pen Its
turn. Jeanne Is there, troubled be-
cause her boy has not beer home thss
night. Suddenly the news of the muir
der Is brought in, the guilty man ts
not yet known, but Jeanne feels q
premonition end denies what she has
just said alb ,ut her boy not being
home The report gains ground that
the murderer Is a soldier whose char
acter is notcricusly pad. md over
joyed Jeanne returns home where she
finds jacques has returned. His ap-
pearance shows her that her first sus-
picion was true and she hurries him
Off to Paris. warning him not to re-
turn, not even to write to her.
jacques is arrested, however, for he
cannot help stealing back To see his
Fanny once more.
The Assiza court supplies the next
two scenes. During the first various
provincial types come to testify In

The last tvu scenes contain the real
tragedy OF the play. The first is a
station yard people come ard go. sit
down and discuss the topics OF the
day and wonder when the execution
is to be. In France no notice OF an
execution is given in advance. Delbler
takes his guillotine as secretly as pos
sible to the scene of the execution and
the criminal only learns in the morn
ing that his appeal to the president
has been rejected and that lit is to-

The last scene Is in the prison at 10

just locked up a prisoner In his cell
when his wife comes to say that~Ieanne
Dore wants to see her son. The war
den declares 1t impossible, against all
rules. but Jeanne pushes her way in.
She knows the warden; the town is 30
small that everyone knows everyone

pleading to let her boy come to the
little square grating in the door OF
his cell. The warden allows her to
thrust her hand through the small
opening, Jacques seixes 1t and cries.

toward him and kisses its owner
