ly removed a Watteau from the Louvre for reasons of pure neatlieties and no thought of financial gain, he was carrying out a situation in a one- net play by Mr. A. J. Talbot, dramatist living in Kendor Avenue, Epsom, Surrey.

The play, published by the Year Book Press, has been performed by amateurs. It is called "Cicz Bogus- kovsky."

"And if the editor of the Year Book Pres had not noted that the name Boguslavsky appeared in the telephone directory, and was unwill- ing either to embarrass any living person by using his name or risk a libel action, my play would, have appeared as "Chez Boguslavsky'," said | Air. Talbot.

IDENTICAL

"My character was called by the Identical name of the man who per- formed almost the identical set," he went on. "And my play was publish- ed a year before the pictures was even stolen!"

One speech in the play runs: Hopaskovsky: I steal the Vermeer, but I do not steal it to sell this itme. 1 steal it for myself unly. In the Louvre is for tourists. Sapristi! It I too good for such pig-dogs. So 1 think steal it so every day in my 'oure 1 can look at that so luffy picture and get very much pleasure,
