Paris, Aug. 10.
IN ESPITE the time OF year when
i most Paris theaters are closed
down and managers and artists
are away on vacations a certain
amount OF animation is displayed in
practically every playhouse. Winter
programs have to be arranged. cer-
tain alterations and renovations have
to be carried out. and. OF course. sum-
mer time is the proper time to do all
these things. AS far az programs are
concerned the coming winter Is likely
to see more revivals Of plays than
creations OF new ones. Some interest
ing new ones are promised, however.
Famous French actresses. who until
now appeared satisfied to either play
their part as actresses, or undertake the
management Of theaters, have now gone
into playwriting also. Critics and audi
enccs await the debute Of Mile. Marie
Leconte OF the Coincide Francaise. as n
playwright. Mile. Leconte has three

an insight as to what marital sympathy
should be. Mile. Leconte claims she has
not attempted to make her play either
comical or dramatic. She wants the
public to understand that II Is Just
common sense play.
Other women are reported to be writ
ing plays, some entirely by themselves.

known authors. Managers state they
are willing 10 give the women a trial
but fear that audiences will hnd the
plays by far too feminine and therefore
not what they want.
Play I'm Rehearsal.
Among new plays Paris will see Is
lie Rancon" (The Ransom). the re-
hearsals OF which have just taken place
at the Gymnase Theater.
Critics who were privileged TO see
the rehearsals say the play will not be
a success. Stated 10 be a modern play
and written by such we'll known
author as NJ. Jack Jouvin, the plot is
considered to be far too exaggerated
and not OF good taste. II depicts the
life OF "a French family. the father. a
heavy speculator on the Bourse. loses
all his money and forbids his daughter
TO marry 80 that he might retain her
dowry and continue TO gamble. Driven
against a wall OF debts and with bank
ruptcy staring him in the face, the
father begs his daughter TO help him
out. She does so by selling her
body and soul to stranger.
The opera this winter will have
Wagner's "Parsifal." "Padmavti." an
Sin pantomirae ballet by Pierre Jobe
Duval; "Gdercoeur." drama by
Alberto Maynard; Les Dieux sont
Morts." by Emile Bertaux. and Les
Maitres Chanteurs." The usual operas
will also figure.
Hopes were at one time entertained
that some OF Gabrielle D'Annunzio' =
pieces would be presented TO French
audiences. with Eleonora Duse in the
star roles. The plays were to be La
Vile Mort and Francesca da
Rimini" and were TO be staged at the
Odeon under the active management of
VI. Gemier. Eleonora Duse, however,
states she has contracts to fulfill in
Italy during the winter and the earliest
she can get to Paris will be during the
spring season.
M. Gemier is probably not too sorry
for this. for since he has been appointed
to the management Of the National
Odeon he has decided on certain I'm
poytant alterations In the theater, which
will barely be ready for next season.
He has undertaken to connect the stage
proper with the stalls. The actors will
henceforth come out of side doors and
act and sing down the aisles. New
