94 AU THEATRE DU GRAND GUIGNOL ha, ha, ha! Shudder, shiver, shake, shriek, do everything that begins with sh, except hush—and that is Irish, after all. Of one thing only do I warn you: from start to finish there is not a word or a gesture that could shock the most innocent maiden, or bring a gleam to the eye of the least hardened roué, or the most expert member of the Vigilance Society. ‘ This, in a French theatre, is as rare as it is delightful ; 4 and though it is conditioned, like all phenomena, by space, time, and causality, it is none the less refreshing.? VLADIMIR SVAREFF, P.L.A.L. 1 The MS. is almost illegible ; the word might be ‘‘ disappointing.” 2 Ditto. ditto. ditto. ‘‘ refrigerating.”
