Madame De Gresac believes that the playwright must take into account the customs and the laws of the country in which the play ia to be produced, so that his characters may seem real to the audience, i "For instance," says she, "In France, both In life and on the stage we talk-- our plays are full of dialogue, while In America you aoc--and when you do -rail; It is like a telegram. Then, too, the laws of the two countries so dissimilar, and their understanding of humor and i sentiment ere diverse that It is almost Impossible for the one to accept the view- point of the other.

Humor, honor, the quality of farces must always be consid- ertfd from the- viewpoint the audience that will eventually alt on the other side of the footlights. The subtleties of a farce, piquant and delicate iu one tongue, when adopted and adapted in another, are lost. A sense of huinor la the most easily disarranged apparatus In the world. In language, the nuances of one cannot be interpreted in another. The building of a play shows murked difference.

The French dramatist thfnks first of the psychology of hla theme, then of the dialogue, and latfCIy of the characters. In America, the dramatist creates his characters first and then plans the action of the play." Madame DC Gresac believes that few translations survive transplanting. "I come to America for seven months of every year," she added, "that I may be better able to understand istlcs and customs of American life. From my fellow men and women I have always learned from my audiences I unve learned the effect what I hare offered them and from my critics I have learned to find my mistakes and to do better the next time. All this Madame De Gresac has embodied In "Flo-Flo." "I wanted to give something that will divert the minds of those that are sart and mnke them forget for a Httle while," she says.

"There is enough tragedy outside theater. And so I have created 'Flo-Flo'-I call her my spiritual cocktail--for America."
