DE Nigny's "Chatterton''
Given at French Theatre

"Chatterton.' Alfred de Vignv's mel
ancholy play, based on the life of the
English poet Thomas Chatterton. was
gwen last evening at the Theatre du
yleuX Colomoler. The real Chatterton
deceived Horace Walpole with clever
imitation Of an old poem written on
laded parchment with obsolete SPELL
ing. Ihis poem. which he called "The
Ryse of Peyncteynegc in England.
written by 7. Rowiie, 1869 for Master
1anynge,' got him into trouble. for
Walpoie took it to experts who nro.
nounced it forgery. Penniless and
unable to find publisher for the real
chlldren of his brain, Chatterton com
mltted suicide at eighteen by taking
arsenic
For the purpose of enlisting the
sympathy of the audience, de Vigny
ennobled the young man and turned
the incident of the hoax into an un
Just accusation. Perhaps for the sake
OF variety, the poet in the play takes
opium. Romance is supplied by the
loVe OF Chatterton for Kitty Bell, the
Sentle, vlrtuous wife Of his host.
Here again is a play that is histori-
cally interesting. 1t was first civen at
the Comedie Nrancaise in 1885. One Of
the most famous plays in the French
Theatre, it was much discussed bv the
contemporaries of the author Balzac
condemned the poets character and
Salnte- Beuve objected to the young
mans ideas about suicide Together
with his novel "Cinq-Mars," Chatter
ton'' written at the beginning .of his
love affair with Marie Dorval, the ac-
tress, contributed largely to de Vignv's
fame
The play was presented with all the
hnlsh that characterizes Mr.. Copeau's
productions. The title role is a trying
one. and Mr.. Dhurtal did his best with
a young man who was given to alter
nate explosions of despair and senti-
mentality. Mr.. Dullin's Quaker was
the most consistently maintained i'm
personation of the evening, although
Mr. Casa's Mayor Beckford and Mr.
Sarment's Lord Talbot were both in
the picture.
Next week Mr.. Copeau's dramatza-
ton of Dostoievskis novel "The Kara
mazov Brothers." the most striking
performance given by the company
last season, will be revived.

Nine. Yolanda Nero Gives an
AIl'Chopin Programme at
AeOlian Hall

An all-Chopin programme is always
test successfully passed by only the
greatest plansts, yet every one who
asplres to any rank at all tries it soon
or late. Nine. Yolanda Nero is the
latest to attempt it, and when VIC state
that she accomplished it without bore
dom to her large audience we are pay
ing her compliment of no mean order.
The recital took place yesterday
afternoon at Aeolian Hall Nine. Nero
played with a bandaged right wrist.
II was said that she recently had met
with an accident, but her playing gave
10 evidence of this handicap. Her
Chopin is conceived on broad lines,
vigorously executed. More shading
might at times be wished for, but the
more brilliant passages We're splendidly
taken, and throughout the recital her
technical powers were superbly in evil
dence. She was at her best in the
Barcarollc, the C sharp minor scherzo
and in one or two of the preludes.
Nine Nero is perhaps not at her best
IN ChopinJ there are delcacies of
sentiment which she misses, but her
Temperance her innate poetic feeling
and her technical proficiency are of a
high order and render interesting
whatever she does. She was greeted
with enthusiasm by large audience.

The fires were scattered affairs. At
times the crowd pressed so close to the
burning logs that there was danger
that some ono would be injured.
The police tried to tone down the
blaze rather than put it out with water.
They separated the burning logs, which
were usually kicked back by one of the
milltants. II WAS this kicking about of
the blazing logs that caused the first
arrests.
