SPORTS IN FRANCE

but she may take it into her head to play a rôle. One never knows what she will do. However, her age does not seem to make much difference to her. She is as energetic as she was l thirty years ago. Haven't you heard your parents speak of her ? Very often. They attended one of her performances in New York. What do you mean? Don't you know that she has made several tours to the United States ?

I only saw her at the moving picture show. The film in which2 I saw her play a rôle was entitled "The Mothers of France." I remember the sensation that this play caused among us at the beginning of the war. She certainly played a patriotic rôle in it. She seemed to be very happy. Yes. She loves her art, but I imagine that she loves France more.3

Will she play the rôle of Roxana to-night? I hope not.4 She is now too old for the impersonation of a young girl of twenty years. I should give much if I could have seen her play thirty years ago. She must have been magnificent at that period of her life. Think of it ! Coquelin was playing the rôle of Cyrano. Therefore, to-night, if she takes a rôle, don't laugh, but endeavor to imagine what she must have been during her youth. Let us respect her art and her patriotism.
