DO YOU REALISE

WHAT IT MEANS

HEN we announce that a photo-

play is by members of the Come-

W

die Francaise ? It means that the play in

ام

question has been given the most perfect

interpretation that modern dramatic art admits of; that the smallest and most

insignificant part is as artistically render-

ed as that of the Star-and there is a

reason for this.

THE Comedie Francaise, which is

T

also known as "La Masion de

Moliere," dates back to the palmy

days of Louis Quatorze when it saw the

production of all the great -Moliere Comedies. If the Globe of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson had existed to the

present day and was still the most

famous of English play-houses one

might compare it ta the Comedie

Francaise. It is in a word, the oldest

theatre in the world, with the longest traditions. To be permitted to perform

upon its stage an artist must be elected

to membership by the assembled existing

associates and members after a public

exhibition before the most

critical

audience in the world. It is the French

actor's highest ambition to receive from

his peers this recognition of his histrionic

JJ

powers. It is the one existing modern

institution in which merit is the only

passport.

..

HEN we say, then, that we are

presenting a play by members;

WH

of the Comedie Francaise, we mean that

we are inviting you to a dramatic feast that cannot be equalled elsewhere; you' will agree that this is so when you

have seen
