Bernhardt's Success.

To get back to sensible and solid plays,
wonderful success was scored by Sarah
Bernhardt when she reappeared in la
Gloire" at her own theater. French
audiences are very much regretting that
Nine. Bernhardt has decided to give but
limited number of representations of
La Gloire." but are enthusiastically
looking forward TO Sarah's return from
Italy. when she intends to devote more
time to her theater.
The new Comedy Franchise play, lie
Chevalier de Colombo" apparently did
not come up TO expectations. The ap-
plause during the first night was very
slight. and 1t is perhaps lucky TO have
the Comedie franchise as its home, for
otherwise II Is evident II could have en-
joyed but very limited run. AS It is
played intermittently and by famous ar
lists OF the Coincide it will eventually
pay its way.
Rapid progress is. being registered at
the rehearsals OF the new Casino de
Paris review, in which the stars will be
Mistinguett and Earl Leslie. the Ameri-
can dancer. Leslie claims he has
brought back several catchy songs from
America, some of which he will sing
while others have been translated into
French and will be sung by Mistinguett.
The review will be Of the usual style
put UP at the Casino Wonderful cos
tunes are to be the main feature, to-
gether with various interpretations OF
the nude. Four playwrights have their
signatures affixed to the review, a record
for that kind Of show.
French audiences are eagerly awaiting
the new Mogador Theatre program. Just
as soon as "L'Arlesienne" leaves there,
Peer Gynt' Is to be shown. The piece
will comprise ten tableaux. and for the
first time Grieg's music will be heard in
'its integrity.

Risque Plays Create Paris
Demand for Child'S Theater
Super Classical and Suggestive Pieces Not Fitted to
Young People, Say Parents-New French Produc-
tions-Bernhardts Reception.

Another play OF a similar character.
but not quite so suggestive, however. is
La Pensionnaire." at present being
shown at the Theatre des Arts. The
plot is told in few words. a young
girl has fallen in love with a young man.
and at the first opportunity she gets she
bluntly goes to him, takes him by the
arm and says, You don't love me, but
love you. Come. marry me-
The young man attempts all kinds Of
excuses, but the determined girl arrays
him before a family council and flatly
announces that he has ruined" her and
therefore must marry her. The young
man is this time so completely dunn
founded that he cannot find any excuse
to oppose TO the girls untruth and the
family make him marry the girl. AS all
French plays must have happy ending,
the last act OF LA Pensionnaire" shows
that the young man has fallen desper-
ately in love with his wife.
Even more suggestive matter is TO be
found at the Concert Mayol, where the
new review, has for title "Oh. quel Nu."
The invitations sent out from the theater
announce that the most beautiful girls
in Paris are appearing there and at one
time during the show pass up a trans
parent staircase from the stage TO the
balcony stalls. All OF course are in va
rous styles of undress. 1t appears. how
ever, that the title has nothing TO do
with this and that 1t was only decided
upon during rehearsals. when critic

Paris. Oct. 2S.
T HE creation OF theater foi
plays specially written anC
- played for the benefit Of chill
dren is one OF the latest suggestion:
made here. 1t is made undoubtedly
on account OF the numerous new
plays which have been presented OF
arc TO be presented this year. none OF
which appear of the style to be shown
young people.
! When plays are not super classical
they are far too light and suggestive
and are either lost on youths or else
teach them very different lesson
about life than that which they should
know. Theatrical people here suggest
that playwrights write adventurous
pieces, which it is thought children de-
light in.
80 accustomed are children nova
days." writes a parent "to look upon
life in any but fairylike manner that
pantomines are of little interest TO them.
What children want to-day are plays
written around plots with a Sherlock
Holmes in the background. Operas and
classics in verse they cannot under
stand, dazzling reviews made them
yearn 10 grow up and enjoy life and
partake Of forbidden fruits long be-
fore they are OF an age to understand
life"
Whether the suggestion TO have a
special children's theater in Paris ever
materializes time alone will tell. Mean
while certain of the new plays put on
In Paris of late are certainly far from
being the kind to which parents would
take their children.
New Play Very Risque.
A play put on at the Theatre Cluny
in the last week is a striking example
of this. The title, or the words which
very shocking, for only TO those very
familiar with French slang can such
words as "Tas done perdu ton nanil-
lon?" mean anything. A manillon in
ordinary French is just an ace in a
pack Of cards. The plot OF the new play
deals solely with the period OF war.
Every kind Of uniform is seen on the
stage at some moment. The poilu, OF
course, plays the leading roles. and an
American doughboy is also figured. A
F'renchman has served in the trenches
has made the acquaintance of charm
ing Paris!enne, to whom, during one of
his frequent visits to the capital, he has
proposed and has been successful. This
however, has reused the jealousy OF one
of his comrades, in whom he confided
and who has fallen in love with the
Parisienne. and has even decided her 10
give up the first poilu, but she asks the
second lover to find the necessary ex-
cuse. He easily does so. for after the
war during a family reunion to which
many allied friends are invited he
breaks the unexpected news that the
first lover. while he has not been
wounded in the war. has been so in
jured through the cold that he is in
reality very sick man and totally
unfit for marriage. The second lover
Of course wins.
Even critics and first nighters could
not help from being severe in their
criticism OF the play. and undoubtedly
II will not go very far into the season.

on the observance of all laws, espec-
tally the observance of the Volstead
Act. In referring to the violation of
the Volstead Act he said that it was
what might have been expected from
the very nature of things, but that as
it was a law, it must and would be
obeyed and those who did not, or
would not obey it would be made to
obey it. He also spoke of the senti-
ment which had prevailed for many
years against the sale of intOxicants
and the running of saloons, until it
reached Congress where it was made
possible for the people to vote directly
on it.
The speaker referred to the Deca-

no one, as yet, has ever tried to re
peal the Decalogue. He spOk ke of the
growing sentiment among society,

SMYRNA AT DOVER MEETINGS
Law Enforcement Week Observed Fit
tingly in Both municipalities

In an address before a mass meet
ing held in the Smyrna Century Club
Thursday evening in connection with
Law Enforcement Week, DR.. John
Wesley Hill, chancellor of the Lincoln
Memorial University, said that law
lessness and disrespect for those en-
trusted with the enforcement of the
prohibition statutes were encouraged
by those citizens who, not believing in
or supporting these laws, do not pur-
sue the legal constitutional means to
have them repealed. DR.. Hill spoke
of the legal procedure that was pro-
vided for the repeal of the constitu-
tional or other statute and said that
the elements opposed to the prohibi-
tory legislation had thus far made no
single move to follow this course. He
said the fact that they knew any such
effort was doomed to quick and over
whelming defeat deferred them. He
said the dry laws were on the statute
books to stay and would soon be en-
forced as a whole with no more viola
tions than is the case with numerous
other laws. He appealed to his hear
ers to aid and sustain those officers of
the law whose duty it is to enforce the
amendment and laws passed in pur-
suance to it. He referred to Abraham
Lincoln and pointed out had he lived
he would have fought the liquor traf-
fic as he did slavery. Music numbers
were had and the meeting was spirited
and full of enthusiasm.
The meeting was we'll attended

Mrs. Francis B. Watkins and her

Club of Middletown a treat recently,
when Mrs. Watkins read paper on

all. John Spicer recited "An Ego
