on Record At Troyes (Aube), a conscript, Emile Bataille, of the class of 1925, seems to have broken the record for the lightest weight. He stands 4ft. 5 in and weighs only 59 1/2 lb. The Wheat Franc. Former Senator Comte de Trévenenc, being a Breton landowner, has greater confidence in wheat farming than in the foreign exchanges, so when he signed a lease for a bar in the rue Vivienne, Paris, he added a rider that the tenant should pay rent at the par value of wheat, reckoning a quintal at 100fr. The tenant discovered that while he would have to pay more rent if wheat went up, he would have no corresponding rebate if wheat went down, and on this ground applied to the courts for relief from a one-sided and onerous bargain. His plea for not rejecting the bargain is that he had full confidence in the aristocratic Breton farmer and assumed that he was offering fair terms. Whatever the outcome of the trial, the wheat franc has been introduced to the French public. It is, however, merely an importation, the “bread rouble” and the “wheat mark” having preceded it.

If Madame Walska did not appear as Donna Elvira she met with approval in the role of organizer of the festival, judging from the success of the performance, while, in the role of spectator, entertaining a party in a box, she was, so to speak, in the limelight between the scenes. The series of twelve Mozart performances—the second Mozart festival this season—bids fair to prove a popular feature of the Olympic artistic program. It includes “Don Giovanni,” “Così fan Tutti,” “Le Nozze di Figaro,” two orchestral concerts and the Requiem, with which the series closes. Signor Stabile, of the Scala, who sang the role of Don Juan yesterday, was much admired for his rich voice; Mr. Meader, of the Metropolitan Opera, as Don Ottavio, was one of the best members of the cast, with his delicacy of singing and his fine presence, and Mme. Delaunois was an excellent Donna Elvira. The performance was of great beauty in respect to the staging and costumes.

Woods, the New York theatrical magnate, is paying another one of those flying visits to London for which he is so famous. His object this time was to see Frederick Lonsdale’s new play, “The Fake,” of which he holds the American rights. Having seen the play, he is now trying to induce Godfrey, who is playing the title role, to assume the same part on Broadway, at the end of its London run. While here he has profited to inspect his latest theatrical venture, the construction of his first London theatre. This will be a large house, where motion pictures will be featured together with pantomimes, ballets, well-known singers, and a first-class orchestra. The theatre will be known as the Capitol, and will be run eventually by an English company. SOVIET MINISTER BANNED FOR PLAY Lunacharsky, the Soviet Commissar for Education, has got into hot water for producing a play called “The Bear’s House.” According to the

The theatre will be known as the Capitol, and will be run eventually by an English company. SOVIET MINISTER BANNED FOR PLAY Lunacharsky, the Soviet Commissar for Education, has got into hot water for producing a play called “The Bear’s House.” According to the Pravda: “Nearly all the characters are counts or countesses or members of the so-called nobility. . . The whole play is composed of mystical nonsense from beginning to end. Of the nine scenes only two are played in fully lighted stage, the other seven are acted in a mystical semi-darkness or complete darkness. During these same seven acts an unseen chorus of women is heard to sigh and wail behind the scenes, and is supposed to represent the moaning of the wind and the whisperings of mysterious voices. In three acts several of the members of the cast have fits of insanity. In the same scenes barefooted women with lamps in their hands suddenly appear out of the darkness, and make various mysterious speeches. In one act a gypsy appears from behind a tree, and tells the fortunes of two of the people in the play who were contemplating marriage.” In the opinion of the dramatic critic and editor of the Pravda, Lunacharsky’s play, being “entirely devoid of any artistic or Socialist merits,” must be banned by the party censorship.

TUILERIES SALON POSTPONED Dowraparts of Lasie, Few Days Haiti Work or Exhibition Hall The opening of the Paris Salon des Tuileries, announced for June 14, has had to be postponed. The “Palais de Bois,” near the Porte Maillot, where the exhibition is to be held, is nowhere near completion at the moment, and cannot possibly be ready for the date announced. As a result of the downpours of the last few days, the progress of construction has been so retarded that it is not now known by when the building can be finished. Therefore the “vernissage” has been postponed indefinitely, pending a session of the committee of organization. AMERICAN ART SHOW Exposition to be Opened in Paris on Monday. An exposition of the work of American painters organized by Mrs. Marie Sterner, of New York, will be opened on Monday afternoon at 3 p.m. at the Chambre Syndicale de la Curiosité et des Beaux-Arts, 18 rue de la Ville l’Evêché, Paris.
