Hackett. who Is to appear nt the Grand on December 26th, in “The Prisoner of Zen da,’’ Is having u translation made of "La Francalse,” the play that caused so much discussion In Paris a year ago; and It will prob ably be tried out after he is through with his revival of "The Prisoner at Zen da.” This will be the first time that a play by Eugene Brleux has ever been played In this country, though one or two of his earlier pieces were produced at the Court Theater in Lon don. Brleux is one of the leaders In the "drama of Ideas’* sehmd in France, and while only a few of his plays have been ftopulur successes, all of them have attracted attention bee«use of the virility of the man and tin* ethic.»I quality of his Ideas. Home of Ills plays have born the storm centers of disci slon among the dramatic and liter critics of Paris, this being especially true when “Le? A varies” was produr at the Theater Antoine -several year* ago. In "La Franenlse,” Brleux lias criti cised the French theater for Its too free use of only one subject, and ims made a protest against tho everlasting man age a trols, which sems to be the only theme that can Interest tlie French dra matists. The play. ”l.a Francois©,' was declared by many of the critics to Ik* Brteux'smost spontaneous and striking work, nnd to b© a drama that will un doubtedly have tho good Influence In tended. “THE RIGHT OF WAY.” It la seldom thnt a dramntlat I* making a play from n novel thnt hn* been aide to retain the atmosphere and tlie spirit that the author put Into Ids hook and for tilts reason many drama!isutions of popular books have been failure*.
