Coqnelin'a case -has been decided, and though he is practically forbidden to act in Paris, decision Is against him. The Cornedle Francaise maintained that by acting In the capital without Its permission he had forfeited his pension and francs paid to him as his share of the profits when he retired. The court held that the money and the pension represented his work at the theater for thirty years, and could not -be forfeited. Coqaelln on his part maintained that the decree of 18C4, granting liberty to the theaters, annulled Napoleon I's decree of Moscow, on which the privileges of the Comedie Fran- cuise rest.

The court held that it did not, and that Coquelin's withdrawal from the theater was voluntary, he knowing perfectly well what he was doing 1 when he signed the customary agreement not to act cgain in Paris. His appearance on another stage damaged -the Comedie and he must pay 500 franc's for every performance; if he-acted more than thirty times in all, however, the court would open his case again. Coquelin was receiving 750 francs a night from Sarah Bernhard at the time. The substance of the judgment Is that if he continues acting he will be in contempt of the court, and also liable for damages to the Comedie Francaise. (In Sarah Bernhardt's case the damages were ftxed at 100,000 francs.) The theater, however, can touch neither his share as a societaire nor his retiring pension.

Mr. Warde gcsted the turning down- of the footlights, which was done without avail. The distressed manager once more sought out Mr.

Warde, who by this time was Tn the costume of Adam before the fall (In entreated him to go before the curtain. "Not for $10u as I am," replied the tragedian; "do you go and.tell them the play la. over." 'No, the manager would no-t, and Mr. Warde reluctantly donned an ul- ster, thrust a towel- around his neck, and with ihis feet in Roman sandals and a rubicund face, which 'had Just been energetically scrubbed, stepped before curtain and said: "Indies and gentlemen. The play is over; I am dead; Virginia is dead; Don- is dead; and Claudius Abpius is dead," when a voice from the gods yelled out: "What have you dons with the other son of a gun?" PINERO'3 LATEST PLAY.

A writer In London Truth, probably Mr. Labouchere himself, handles Mr. Plnero's latest play with refreshing- candor, vigor and common sense. Among other things he says: "As a whole, 'The Notorious Mrs. Kbbsmith' strikes me as a piece that had much better never have been written.

It Is nothing to the point that it is an effective play. In a sense, and with many limitations, it is. But what should we say of the genius of a great artist who deliberately traces a smear across the canvas he had adorned with hla brush? Or how should we characterize the action of a cordon bleu who only completed some masterpiece cf culinary skill In order to flavor It with as- sal'etida? The play-going public is growing sick of the abnormal, the the base, the untrue. It Is pining virtuous heroines again. The cant of culture, the cant of the self-conscious, pessimistic, Ibsen-drenched prigs, who declare that Immorality ia the only virtue, Is growing more insufferable than the snuffling cant of Puritanism."
