Paris playing the violin. When he married, he renounced music as a failure and went into commerce. He was determined that none of his children should follow him in art. He did not reckon, however, with the character of his daughter. She met Massenet and Bernhardt and both encouraged her to sing. They even argued with her father, but he was adamant. Early Debut. Evading parental authority, she presented herself at the age of eighteen before the powers at the Opéra-Comique in Paris. She sang for them and told them that she had had dramatic experience, even though she had not, and the result of her audacity was a five-year contract. She made her debut in 1905 in Bruneau’s “L’Attaque du Moulin” and a month later was singing the title role in “Sapho.” She had been with the Opéra-Comique only six months when she learned that she could. Go to sing at the Monnaie in Brussels. She was determined to go there, because she wished to meet Maurice Maeterlinck. It is needless to say that she went, although it entailed breaking a contract. In Brussels, she sang “Carmen,” “Fidelio,” and “Thais” in such original manner that it was virtually a new creation of the roles. In the meantime, her friendship with Maeterlinck had grown, and when she returned to Paris, it was in company with the Belgian poet-dramatist. Together, they created a salon in Passy which drew the greatest artists of the day. It was there that Debussy and Maeterlinck discussed the opera “Pelleas et Mélisande.” There followed such landmarks in her career as a tour of the world with Maeterlinck’s “Monna Vanna,” her success in the United States, particularly in Boston, singing in “Pelléas et Mélisande.” This was before the war. Then came her American tour during the winter of 1923-24 and her Italian tour in 1925. And now, she is back in Paris again. She loves America—loves its intensity, its simple directness, its sincerity. She has become a firm disciple of the “jazz” movement. Indeed, her life has shown that she is inclined to be ahead of the

Indeed, her life has shown that she is inclined to be ahead of the times. Her next step will be to organize a club, called “L’Art Machine.” Its members will, of course, be the ultimate modern of all countries. And all the while, she is doing things on the side. She occasionally acts for the cinema, occasionally writes an article, and within a year, she contemplates publishing an account of her life in three volumes. In fact, Mme. Georgette Leblanc, besides being one of the most talented and fascinating, is one of the busiest women of the day. OVER THE RIVER Vincent the Versatile Seems to be the obvious label for the well-known jazz-band leader who is soon due in our midst. For Vincent Lopez knows a lot more tricks than just ladling out syncopation. In fact, the boy practices several of the arts. He writes magazine articles and illustrates his typewriter stuff with rather sharp caricatures. Vincent’s gallery of satiric portraits includes his jazz colleague, Paul Whiteman; Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Jack Dempsey, and other practitioners of the high and low arts.

The Left Bank Tilden has just turned out another book, a novel this time, which will soon be published. Business is certainly booming over our way. The Rotonde is making gestures toward further aggrandizement, with the possibility of soon gobbling up the shop next door. Only the Select and the church will then stand in its line of march right down to the Gare. Or Echoes of the student-professor fracas that temporarily put the courses out of commission are being heard again on the Left Bank.

SOME NOVELTIES SEEN IN PARIS For the traveler or picnicker, have been designed leather cases of about 3 in. by 3 in. which compactly contain a folded set of knife, fork and spoon. They have handsome green enamel handles which are a contrast with the buff-colored leather of the case. The bowl of the spoon, the prongs of the fork and the blade of the knife are folded back over the handle. When they are unfolded, they are firmly fastened by a sliding knobbed piece of metal. At the same time, one can procure heavy elliptical drinking glasses which have their own cases of buff leather and into which the compact sets of knives, forks, and spoons are designed to slip, thereby protecting the glass tumbler by filling the inside as well as covering the outside. The entire outfit is easily slipped into a pocket, and therein lies its great convenience. COMING PARIS EVENTS Aid for French War Wounded.

NEW TURKEY BARS WOMEN “TRAITORS” CONSTANTINOPLE.—A number of Turkish women who fled the country with French and British officers when the Allied forces withdrew from Constantinople are seeking to return. The frontiers, however, are permanently closed to the women, who are considered traitors. One of the women is Suzan Hanum, daughter of Hamdi Pasna, who was Minister of War and Navy in the Cabinet of the last Sultan. She married an English naval officer from whom, it is reported, she is now separated. She is said to have returned to Turkey incognito. The police authorities will send her out of the country if she is found.

FRENCH TRADE BALANCE France had an unfavorable balance of trade of 666,846,000 fr. for the month of April, according to figures made public today. Imports totaled 5,020,051,000 fr. while exports reached only 4,353,169,000 fr. This is a contrast with April of last year, when exports exceeded imports by 459,030,000 fr. France has had an unfavorable balance of trade since last August. For the first four months of 1926 imports have dominated by 2,252,202,000 fr., while for the corresponding months of 1925 there was an excess of exports of 1,540,927,000 fr.

He is known as “the man who came back.” He was seriously wounded on July 18, 1918, at Château-Thierry and for six weeks was officially listed as dead. He staged a comeback by entering the Saint-Mihiel division and later taking part in the Argonne offensive. Other charter members are Dr. F. F.

Clara Clemens is giving her own dramatic version of her father’s “Jean of Arc” at Hampden’s Théâtre, thereby presenting the first professional by-product of a personal habit in the home of Mark Twain. For it was the amiable custom of that family, whenever conversation lagged one evening, to break into a suddenly-improvised theatrical version of one of her father’s books with a cast enthusiastically headed by the author. Undoubtedly the pressure of those memories was in this daughter’s mind and induced her to bring, with the assistance of Mr. Donald Haines, the shadowy figure of Mark Twain’s Joan to life before the footlights of New York. Not that this finished version can, strictly speaking, be called a drama. The original idea was to give what is somewhat vaguely called a dramatic reading of the lines through which Mark Twain interpreted the agonies and ecstasies of the Maid of Orléans. But the project somehow became surrounded with costumes and scenery and ten vignettes with Miss Clemens as Joan. She is supported by the somewhat bewildered members of the Hampden company. In spite of the appealing figure made by this new Joan and all the earnestness of the effort, one is forced to the conclusion that the original idea of a dramatic

The original idea was to give what is somewhat vaguely called a dramatic reading of the lines through which Mark Twain interpreted the agonies and ecstasies of the Maid of Orléans. But the project somehow became surrounded with costumes and scenery and ten vignettes with Miss Clemens as Joan. She is supported by the somewhat bewildered members of the Hampden company. In spite of the appealing figure made by this new Joan and all the earnestness of the effort, one is forced to the conclusion that the original idea of a dramatic reading was wiser after all. Although the lines were all Mark Twain’s, their arrangement failed utterly to give the simplicity and poignant power of this book, which the author always considered his masterpiece, though few of his admirers have concurred in this belief. And “Pomeroy’s Past,” the first Clare Kummer comedy to poke its head above the surface for too many months, is being run off these days on the stage of the Longacre Theatre. It is a high and light comedy, so high and so light indeed that its feet find the floor with difficulty in the last act. But for all that, it is a production of marvelous virtues and any excellent entertainment with it. The lines of Miss Kummer and the performance of Miss Laura Hope Crews were the chief matters of moment. Miss Crews played a fussy maiden sister, who has a way of sweeping in upon any random moments of romance that may intrude upon her helplessly efficient household. The cast is composed of a sufficient number of celebrities to make it surefire. Among them are Ernest Truex, Helen Chandler, and Osgood Perkins. At last this tenacious season has decided to do a little waning,
