Policemen and hotel clerks argued

They succeeded In keeping the

CURIOUS FRENCH PLAY
WITHOUT WOMAN IN CAST

Paris, June 8. - Sacha Guitry's
play, "Pasteur." in which no wo-
mans character appeared, has had
run of lot performances, which,
for a play entirely devoid of fem
mime interest, is considered in Paris
to have been a great success. The
piece. however, hardly had claims
to be a play. 1t was rather a series
of unconnected scenes in the life of
a great scientist, beginning with one
showing him with his pupils at the
outbreak of the war of 1870, continu-
ing with scenes introducing his first
application of his vaccination aginSt
hydrophobia and ending with his re-
ception at the French Academy.
The absence of any woman's role
was not the only remarkable feature
of the piece. The hero" has not
been dead twenty-five years yet. so
that many who saw the play remem-
bered him personally. The author
found his materials in the life of
NJ. Pasteur, written by NJ. Pasteur's
son-in-law, M. Vallery-Radot, whose
wife, M. Pasteur's daughter, on see
ing Lucien Guitry, the authors faith
er, who played the title role with
a marvellous makeup, could not help
exclaiming Papa" The boy who
played the part of the first victim of
a mad dogs bite to be treated by M
Pasteur was a young brother of the
boy who really was so treated.
