French Actress Naively Remarks that .Paris Will Have Only Plays Which Are “Highly Immoral—And Then, Mon Dieu, he Says Her First-Night Audience Here Made Her Fancy She Was There—Sapho Has a Soft Spot in Her Heart, and She’s Going to Give Us the Real Zizzing Zaza. OTH Madame and Matemotselle Rejane looked as nice and new as the Hotel Astor, in which I found them. To begin with, there was only Madame, I was wondering whether all Paris hate had the bad penny’s habit of turving up, y , when Madame called, “Germaine!” Tt was simply slapped up, with something green and feathered screeching from the front, I had an uncasy feeling that this wild, jealous-looking bird (was putting off all sorts of airs in Madame's millinery. For the rest, maman had on something about as light as the Demo- sone in the sun; daughter's was dark. They were very unlike, so different that I found myself again and again thinking of Mile, Rejane as Miss Camp- handshake—but it was when she spoke that she eeemed more like the @eughter of Mrs. “Pat” than of Rejane, who doesn’t know a word of English.

They decided to see Rejane, for, as the elder of the two argued, “Rejane comes to America, you know, so she must be perfectly of the two had been most carefully and conventionally reared, and, though & year’s study in Paris had somewhat widened her mental horizon, the shockingly French. They eat through the first act aghast qnd silent, except for an occasional giggle at some droll expression on Rejane’s face, “For think ‘we understand what it's about”—which, of course, they did, They sat out the performance, however, but nether spoke again until they were have a beth!” re a * al - s Mademoiselle’s hat settled the question.
