acting was not increasing by leaps,
nor yet by bounds, and he therefore
decided it was time he deserted the

\ TO less than three theatres may
M next year be dedicated, IL the
plans Of their organizers are
carried out, to the drama in French.
Whether or not this uncommon supply
Of the Gallo drama next year is the
result OF any demand noticed during
the season which has just come to an
end it is not possible to say. There
must have been either an anxiety to
enjoy the drama in French which es-
capped usual observation or the ENTIRE
preneurs are uncommonly optimistic.
At all events there are now on foot
plans to organize three companies to
act in French.
The maintenance Of French
theatre in this city is not easy. OF
course the most perplexing question
is concerned with the repertoire. 1t
is not a simple matter to find dramas
that will interest erpubliog during a
season Of thirty weeks. Few modern
French dramas are liked even when
acted in English. Probably the fore
the conventional school Is Henry
bernstein. Only THE Thief" ever in
terested an American audience. Kiste-
maeckers cannot count n solitary
popular success here, while the serious
dramas Of Hervieu. Porto Richie, Lave
dan and the rest Of the men who are
able to attract all Paris to listen to
their words do not make any appeal
to the great mass of American
theatregoers. Then Americans are
particularly intolerant of drama in a
language they do not understand: and
as so few of them are able to compre-
bend or speak French, not even Re-
jane, Mounet-Sully, Coquelin and Jane
Hading VIII arouse in them suf-
ficient urge TO send them to the play.
So a French theatre must exist for
a small public. There was one adj
outrageous aspect to NJ. Copeau's
company. His theories of stage deco
ration and their occasionally skilful
realization lifted the atmosphere OF
the performances above that which
would have prevailed in a French
Playhouse modelled on the best of the
provincial French theatres. But the
literary drama as the bulwark of q
repertoire could not be made popular
i was all very we'll for an occasional
departure from the usual dramatic
fare. but It could not be offered toe
frequently. The promoters of the

lent sympathetic ear to Mr.. Morgan's
histrionic warnings and who found for
