PRINCETON PROF.
UNEARTHS OLD
BALZAC MSS.

Cromwell, a tragedy in five
acts. believed to be the first Sc:
rious product of the great French
novelist, Honore de Balzae, was
made available for the first time
this week for students Of the
drama by Prof. Walter Scott
Hastings. of Princeton University.
Prof Hastings discovered the
manuscript while engaged in re-
search work at the Institute of
France in Chantiliy. and he sue.
ceeded In obtaining the permits,
sion of the French government to-
publish it.
The play is in verse and was
written when Balzac was 90 years
old. .sCronlwen'' is in the grand
manner. and while having no
literary value. it is of great in.
terest to Balzac students. In
later years the author referred to
1t as a .monstrosity, but at the
time OF composition he believed it
TO be a masterpiece.
Marcel Boutcron. a French stu
dent of BalZac, suggested to Prof
Hastings that the handwritirg is
that of Balzac's mother. and on
comparison with other documents
written by her. this was proven
to be the case Another copy of
the play. made by his sister,
Laura. is in existence: but Prof
Hastings is OF the opinion that
the original manuscript has been
destroyed.
Cromwell, " said the Profess
sor, was written by Honore de
BaIzac when he was trying TO
convince his father that he ought
to devote his life to literature.
When It was completed, the old
n1aA showed 1t to some men OF
letters, who were his friends, and
they advised him to send his son
back to the law office from which
he had lately made his escape.
The father. who had lost a con-
SIDERABLE part of the family for
tune In speculation. demanded
that Honore return TO the legal
profession. but the future novelist
held out stoutly. The old man
then made him a small allowance
for two years and told him to win
his spurs.
The Honore was very poor,
and from 1919 to 1920 lived in a
Paris attic Then he returned to
his family with Cromwell"
When he read it the family
yawned. but his mother took the
work and made copy of it. Al
though she had opposed the idea
of his literary career, and al
though she often quarreIed vio-
IentIy with her son, she never
the1ess tried to help him.
Because these pages. a forced
and clumsy imitation OF the
classics are the living witnesses
to the first struggles of the young
author, we have published them.
They show us his abilities and
his faults. his methods of work,
his liabilities, and especially his
perpetual desire for glory which
goaded on the would-be dranatist
and novelist to the end Of his
days.
Prof Hastings has published
Cromwell with a full fac-simile
reproduction of the mothers
manuscript, which shows corree-
tons By Honore de Balzac.
