FRENCH PLAYHOUSE ON BOAT
Actors In Remarkable Theatre Are
Said to Find Their Occupa-
tlon Pleasant One.

France has playhouse built on a
barge, which travels from Tours to
Strasbourg. 1t Is gorgeous affair
painted In white and silver and called
the 'bateau-theatre," It wanders
along the canals and wherever 1t stops
the French, who have few entertain
ments, crowd into the Fulminant to
see dramatic representation. 1t is
agreeable life to move leisurely by
canal and river, to stop where one
pleases, to play to q crowded house in
sale, which is always ready, to-
give pleasure to a whole community
and profit to oneself. The room where
the performances take place Is spac-
ious enough. 1t holds five hundred
persons, and every one Of the fault
eunils covered in red velvet In this
blue and gold decorated hall is oc-
cupied whenever the floating theatre
casts anchor in an out of-the-way town.
The actors are their own mariners.
There Is much work to be done on
board any kind of boat, as all who
have ever helped to sail yacht will
agree. They all lend hand. They
scrub the decks and they make the
preparations which are constantly
called for. What do they not do?
They go out shopping is there
anything so delightful as to shop al
ways in strange towns? They pre-
pare their play bills and announce
their advent The mere business of
acting is only an incident In this va
ried life.
