A tidal wave of society swept
through the opened doors Of the Graf
ton Galleries here thic week for the
National Portrait Society's private
view. and the pictures that covered
the walls reflected in oils the sea OF
swirling celebrities before them. In
some Of the more recent works sew
eral visitors had for fieeting moment
an answer to Burns's plaintive cry:
'Oh wad some power the giftie gle us
To see oursers as others see us"
For they saw themselves on crowded
walls, before which priest jostled
duchess and statesmen gaped unno-
ticed. Most Of those present went to
see themselves.

Finessc I'm Color scheme.

There is also tableau where the god
"Sin" rides In convention through the
starry skies, Sin himself wearing very
silvcry radiant costume which increases
the feeling that something new has bean
attained in stage ascensions. But the
most effective scene is in the execution
chamber. where the penitent heroine IN
gray robe knsels beside the scarlet
block and listens to the pleading OF the
god Sin, while against the black curtain
looms the vast. shadowy figure OF tho
executioner with a long. slender sword
barred for the stroke.
The only criticism thus far passed y
that instead of adopting modern Chinese
conceptions the producers have too me
ticulously adapted old European conven-
ton. but this is not preventing the public
from showing astonishment at the finesse
OF the color arrangements, which more
than makes up for any deficiency In
stage patter or plot.

Paris, Oct. e..
is the French theatre about to re-
turn to an era of dazzling. fairNils
spectacles whose chief charm lies in
color rather than plot, or will the lonz
expected movement for renovation
take its lead along poetical lines?
That is the question uppermost this
week In the minds of leading critics
and both sides of the question have
numerous supporters due to the al
most simultaneous production with
overwhelming success Of a new mas
terpiece by Maurice Rostand. .L.a
Gloire," in which Nine. Bernhard "a
starring, and Chinese fantasy, "sin."
The former draws crowded houses
OF enthusiasts simply because Of its
poetic beauty, coupled of course with
Nine. Bernhardt's personality. But the
devotees Of "Sin." which incidently has
nothing to do with wrongdoing. de-
clare that the world will tire of "I,a
Gloire" long before the run of Sin,
is finished, and are prophesying for Il
a success greater than that Of "Chu

Rostand has tried to interpret his own

fathers ability had been placed.
his verse, while showing ingenuity In
It's tenseness. has a peculiar resemblance
to the literary styles of his perents.
which critics declare forms one of the
are instances OF pure artistic heritage.
BE this as 1t may. Rostand's poetry has
won the hearts and tears OF thousands
OF the keenest Partisan thea tregoers and
his play apparently is certain OF long
runs here and abroad.
In Sin" there Is nothing poe;ical save
the weirdness of the scenic displays. the
strange mingling of colors and the
dreamy beauty of the production as n
whole. The first scene, for instance. is
like some glorious frieze set into motion.
