ut is good, however, to sec Mr.. Rob-
ert Lorraine back again on the scene;
and bis Interpretation Of the part of
Cyrano must be all that it's distin-
guished author could have desired. In
deed, to my mind, Mr. Lorraine puts de-
tails into the character that the author
could never have conceived; for M.
Rostrand's humor is not particularly
striking, while Mr.. Loraine's brand is
cheeriness itself. 1t keeps you con-
stantly amused without actually pro-
voking laughter; and that, l suppose.
is very high type of humor indeed.
1t is only when Mr.. Lorraine is lost in
some of the mazes Of his authors be-
wildering verbiage that he becomes a
little less interesting; but catastrophes
of this kind are easily remeded. Now
that the censor's Office has closed for
repairs, there should be quite lot of
blue pencils on the market, and pro-
digious as the cost of this production
must have been, l suppose another
threepence or so would hardly break
the bank"

Lincoln and found in him material
Tor a play-not the first in its field.
surely, but perhaps one of the most
curious. Writing in "The London
Outlook" A. A. Milne says:
"There can never have been two
statesmen more unlike in character
than Abraham Lincoln and BENJAMIN
Disraeli. Whether there was any su-
perfcial likeness between them can
not say, but it was quite in keeping
with my general impression of Mr..
John Drinkwater's play that Mr. Will
lam Rea's Lincoln should always have
been recalling to me those cartoons
and photographs Of Disraeli by which
alone I know him. For, like Disrael,
and unlike the Washington Lincoln,
our Hammersmith Lincoln was always
posing, always showing off, or, at any
rate, Mr. Drinkwater was showing him
off, which is just as trying for the
spectators.
"Mr. Drinkwater was in the position

ing restored to a likeness of it's
former self.
You were almost rude, Philippe,
In fact, you are becoming insup-
portable"
II rude? Why should we accept
the counsels Of these people who hid
themselves in the cellars last year?"
"That sounds we'll! One would
think that you saved France all by
yourself"
"Your friends certainly didn't
save her"
Anyway, you wouldn't have gone
to the front II you hadn't been
obliged to-"
"How do you now?"
Il know that you are dis
agreeable. You can't make YOUR
self welcome that way"
II don't want to have people
patronize me-"
"You bore me-"
Now they both become sulky and
walk along with eyes cast on the
ground. Absorbed in their own
mediocrity, they do not notice the
grandeur of the setting about them.
They have worries about money
matters. Who hasn't? Thew had

His salary as an officer was more
than enough for him and Gabrielle
had found position which It
seemed magnanimous on her nart
to fill because she was the wife of
a soldier.
She had given up this place when
Philippe returned. and Philippe was
