A Frnech husband has found a new

that in France divorce can be grant

This husband had abandoned his
home for woman whom he longed
to make his wife as soon as the di-

however, preferred to take no action,

she preferred to keep her married

LONDON, March 20.-This winters
American invasion of the London
stage, more intensive than usual, has
met with a mixed reception. One
week saw the opening of three Amer
lean offerings and fourth, THE

same week if Iver Novello had not
dropped a dagger on his foot in an
over realistic rehearsal and cut him
self so badly that the production
had to be postponed.
The influx of American plays
American actors and American pro-
ducers has caused much misgiving
among both the critics and the the
atrical managers of London. They
are asking if the Legitimate stage
is to succumb to American domina-
ton, as the motion picture theaters
already have done.
The three openings in one week
were those of "The Student Prince"
"Kid Boots and "Hottentot."
The first named marks the en-
trance of the Shuberts into the Lon !
