BENEFIT MAT|NEES
ONLY ATTRACTION
IN CAY PAREE
(By Associated Press.) }

TAhloS Jan. At cannot De SalQ
that the first performances of the The
atre Francois and the Opera Comique
marked the revival of the theatre in
Paris. Many things combined to make
the success of the season problematic,
aside from the heavy weight of war.
Transportation facilities are still re-
duced and the early closing regulation
makes late hours inconvenient. In
ments will be mostly confined to bene-
fit matinees, and these, it may be said,
have had a real success.
At the Opera Comique one of the
most interesting and successful attrac-
tions OF the first performance was the
presence of a number of wounded Of
ficers and soldiers in the place of hon
or in the presidential box. When Mon
sieur Gheusi, director of the Opera
Comique asked President Poincare for
the authorization to accord the wound
ed soldiers the presidential ceremonial
and the presidential box, the President
replied
1T is indeed, the least that can be
done for them"
AS soon as the officers were perceiv-
ed in the box they provoked a delirious
burst of enthusiasm, and from all parts
Of the house the Marseillaise was call
ed for. The program, however, follow
ed it's course, and the first orchestral
number gave rise to a curious error.
Everyone supposed from the first
strains that it was the Servian Nat
ional Hymn and jumped to their feet
crying Long Live Servia!" 1t was
the overture of the "Black Domino"
The audience had satisfaction, howev-
er, when Mademoiselle Chenal appear
ed, draped in the three colors, to sing
the Marseillaise.
A great many demands have been
made for the production of the patri-
otic piece "Patrie" as the Theatre
Francois, with Mounet-Sully in the
leading role, and it is booked for an
early a presentation as the difficulties
Of staging it will permit. The trouble
is the lack of machinists and the COM
plicated setting Of Sardou's important
work.
Of course the inevitable has happen
ed. The name of King Albert, the pop
ular hero of the war, has been placed
under contribution by amusement en-
terprises and other institutions, and in
some cases with rather doubtful pro-
priety. Paris now has it's theatrical
bert l., and in this case the adoption
of the name has it's reason as the COM
pany is composed of Belgian refugees,
and the pieces presented are mostly Of
Belgian origin.
All of the national matinees to take
place here will have the cooperation of
the Concert Society of the conserva-
tory, under the direction of Monsieur
Andre Messenger, former administrator
of the Opera.
At the Opera Comique a special and
very successful representation for
the benefit of victims Of the war was
given the 18th of December, with La
Vivandiere" as the principal attraction
Mademoiselle Delna, who created the
part Of Marion" appeared in the role
of la Vivandiere.
