shocks the critics of the old school. “Méditerranée” takes place on a steamer between Constantinople and Marseilles. By a rapid succession of short scenes the author would show that between ports his characters are figuratively as well as literally at sea. The friend of a Russian general takes up with a pseudo-butler who is really a spy, steals important papers from a French colonel, and plays poker successfully with a banker. The banker’s wife is wooed successively by a young diplomat and an immoral cantatrice. The diplomat turns his attentions to a young thing going home from a convent. The ship’s engineer philanders too well with an emigrant girl whose mother thereupon jumps overboard. But when the ship signals for the pilot outside Marseilles, the characters return to normal on the prospect of resuming contact with solid ground. The Pitoeffs also are disconcerting the critics with the “Sardanapale” of Boussac de Saint-Marc. The modern prototype of the notorious Assyrian monarch is a jaded, disillusioned tragedian. He wishes to perpetuate himself somehow and attempts to make a “spiritual heir” of a stagehand. Taken from his normal love, the stagehand becomes a rake instead of a genius, and his sweethearts likewise comes to an evil end. Madeleine Soria and Lucien Rozenberg come back to the Athénée with “Maître Bolbec et son Mari” by Louis Verneuil and Georges Berr. “Maître Bolbec” is a successful feminine lawyer, so successful that she is no longer a wife. Her abandoned husband seeks consolation in a sister soul. The sister soul decides to get a divorce from her husband who does not understand her, and applies to Maître Bolbec—and the complication is well knotted. Fernand Nozière apparently wrote “Notre Amour” particularly for the Théâtre Antoine. The sentimental comedy is sure to have a prosperous run before Boulevard de Strasbourg audiences. Because Madeleine Lély married a rich Englishman, André Brulé is a broken man. He gambles his fortune away and is about to commit suicide. But as Madeleine’s rich husband has died conveniently, she returns to her first love, and snatches the revolver from his hand in the

She finds the ideal in Act III, playing the violin in a restaurant. But he is old now, bald-headed, deaf, and dumb. The author himself is in the cast. “Plein aux As” at the Ambigu gives Tramel an opportunity to act the good-hearted, vulgar burglar, and move the audience to tempestuous laughter by frequent use of the mot de Cambronne. The Théâtre du Petit Monde will reopen at the Femina with “Diloguë le Chemineau” by Paul de Pitray tomorrow afternoon. The tabloid revues of Montmartre are busy again. The Deux Ânes opens with “Condamnés.” The Théâtre de Dix Heures with “Nos Nos Sornettes,” adds another to the growing list of parodies on the American musical comedy at the Mogador. The Lune Rousse fulfills the promise of political satire contained in the title “40,000.” The Comédie offers “Petite Rosse,” which is Renée d’Yd in pale blue pyjamas. “De Plus en Plus Chaud” at the Cigale is just the sort of revue you would guess.

French Abbé Gives Old Château For American Singers' School Chance Meeting at Sacré-Cœur Brings Offer Not Unlike Happy Ending In Fairy Tale To be given a beautiful château in the South of France merely for the wishing of it, sounds like a fairy tale or at least a rather audacious press-agent “stunt.” But in the case of Miss Marguerite D’Husse, a soprano, of Wichita, Kansas, the fairy tale is true. Her dream of having a château-school in France for poor American singers is now gratified, thanks to the generosity of Abbé Loubière. “I can’t realize yet that it is all true,” said Miss D’Husse yesterday before sailing for home in the Leviathan. She told of a visit to the Sacré-Cœur in Paris, where she bought a rosary and requested an abbé to bless it. The abbé, who spoke excellent English, then took her on a visit through the basilica. When they had reached the dôme, Miss D’Husse, moved by feminine intuition, told the abbé of her life-long dream to have a château-school in France for American singers. The abbé told her to return the next day, as he would probably be able to help her. The next day an ancient château, which had

The abbé told her to return the next day, as he would probably be able to help her. The next day an ancient château, which had been the property of Abbé Loubière for seventy years, was made over to Miss D’Husse on the sole condition that it be used as a school for poor American singers. The château in the Aveyron Department, dates back to 1310; it was built by Anne-Claude Philippe de Tubières, Comte de Caylus, and was named by him “Le Château de Taurines,” meaning “The Bull’s Head.” It is a curious fact that while digging close to one of the towers recently, workmen came upon an ancient piece of sculpture representing the head of a bull. For many years, during the religious wars, a section of the garden was used as a burial place for the Treasurers of the Church. Abbé Loubière was born in the shadow of the château and he spent his boyhood there. Today he is a genial man who does not show his sixty years. When he had finished his theological studies in France he went to Oxford. Every since the war, when he was much in contact with Americans as an interpreter he has taken a lively interest in them and he is preparing to leave soon for a church in Denver, Colorado.

The château has been his property for seventy years but as he is the last of his family and can bequeath it to no one he decided a few years ago to put it to use as a charitable institution. He offered it to the Red Cross and other organizations, but the gift was declined. The chance meeting of the American singer with the Abbé provided a happy solution. Miss D’Husse is strong in her faith that money will be forthcoming for the re-conditioning of the château, and she intends to work indefatigably to that end, so that she may return to France next year with a number of pupils and inaugurate the first musical era in the old feudal stronghold.

Poincaré Goes to School The special problems of religion and language in Alsace have never been settled satisfactorily; in order to see for himself what the conditions are, the Premier, M. Poincaré, is this week making a tour of the schools. Accompanied by one or two officials of the district in which he happens to be, his practice is to call without advance notice at the schools and to attend classes, while instruction goes on as usual. At Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin) he has received many delegations, calling to present claims or complaints. The Herriot Government attempted to introduce by stages the French System of purely secular instruction in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine, which had always been under the control of the Church. As a compromise to the opposition which developed, "interconfessional" schools were established in which Jewish, Protestant, and Catholic instruction is given. M. Poincaré is accompanied by M. Paul Vallot, Director of the Services of Alsace and Lorraine in Paris, and M. Susini, one of his secretaries. The party is expected to return to Paris tonight. French is the official language in Alsace now, but M. Poincaré had teachers give their lessons both in French and German, in order to compare the results and judge the advance made in French. He appeared pleased with the school solution of the language problem. Fire in Paris Theatre. As

As the audience was taking its seats last night, Sarah-Bernhardt Theatre, Paris, flames came out from the base of one of the electric candelabra and in an instant the whole ceiling was on fire. Cutting off the electric current, a short circuit of which had caused the fire, employees promptly extinguished the flames with chemicals. The performance proceeded after a slight delay. More Gamblers to be Arrested. Three new arrests are expected soon of pari-mutuel employees suspected of belonging to the group which was discovered early in the week taking tickets of paying horses at the end of each race at Longchamp. The police authorities have discovered that operations extended to other prominent race tracks, and that the "winnings" of the operators of the System have totalled many millions of francs. Papers found in the apartments of the first five men arrested show daily records of winnings ranging from 21,750 fr. to 144,225 fr.

Secretaries Grow Stern Those of the 178 secretaries of François Emile Grimbaud who thought that his arrest last week was an injustice which would prevent their receiving a promised 2,000 fr. a month have now joined with the others in a society of creditors. The former employees of the genius Grimbaud met last night to organize the society and consider ways and means of getting back some of the 15,000 fr. to 30,000 fr. each paid as security to his employer and business partner. Victims were told of inventions, ranging from synthetic gasoline to carburetors, through which Grimbaud and his secretaries were to make fortunes. The company was found to be 4,000,000 fr. in debt.
