NEW PLAY BY ROSTAND "IAIGLOJT" TO DE AH ATTRACTION OF THE EXHIBITION SEASON. A Patriotic Illusion of the Napoleonic Period That Tatfea Parisian Theater-Goers by Storm. "L'Alglon "The Eaglet" the drama in six acts', written In Alexandrine verse by Edmond Rostand for Sarah Bernhardt, and which theatrical and fashionable Paris has been awaiting with tbe keenest eagerness, was produced March 15 at the Theatre Sarah Bernhardt before the most brilliant first night audience of the sea son. The enthusiasm was Immense. It was a triumph both for Sarah Bernhardt and for Rostand. All who are prominent In letters and in public life defiled before the actress and the author as they stood In the brilliantly lighted reception-room. Vletorien Sardou. after the third act. threw himself Into the arms of Rostand and kissed him. Coquelln ran up to Sarah's loge and embraced her. M. Cas- imlr-Perier, ex-President of the French re. public accentuated Ms congratulations by pressing his lips to Sarah's hand. So did also the veteran General Saussler. Among those who thus expressed their congrat ulations In the form of kisses were Ludo vic Halevy. Paul Hervleu, Henri Hous sayc. Prince Murat. Count Robert de Mon tcsqulou. General Zurllnden and General Brugere. It was a sight to be witnessed only In Paris. Thp VmhllAmnt, trnd nrnillff. lous, and the enthusiasm was almost in describable. At the closes of the play, when. In accordance with time-honored rrencn traamon, saran uernnnrat ad vanced to the footlights and In a firm had the honor of ploying before you Is oy uunDna uosiana, ine autnor received a fresh ovation, and shouts of "Roitand!" "Rostand!" resounded on all tMn min gled with those of "Sarah!" "Sarah!" In short, there were all the elements that constitute a theatrical first night's triumph. But it should be recollected that this elite audience was stirred by Its per sonal sympathy with Sarah Bernhardt and with Edmond Rostand;- and was also keenly disposed toward the patriotic Illu sions of the Napoleonic legend. When, re moved from this magnetic Influence, one begins In cold blood to analyze the play, it is difficult to find a satisfactory expla nation for all this enthusiasm. The writer put this question to Vletorien Sardou. to Jules Lemaltre and to Felix Duquenel. Incisive dramatic critic of the "Gaulols." All three admitted that the enthusiasm was largely due to causes beyond the play Itself, and could not be expected from any other audience but a French one. Rostand's dexterous versification retains the same charm and cunning as shown In "Cyrano de Bergerac" He Is perfect mas ter of his Instrument. His couplets seem to fnll ns !f frnm ft vlnlln nn i-ln hv their passage through the lips of the ar- usis ana ine decorations oi me stage to the ears of the audiences.

His Alexandrine- are as llmnld , crvstnl. lre Kabelaslan humor which never falls to captivate the Parisians. The authcr has woven a new and romantic legend on the ""ansler.t and disappointing life of the Duke of RdchstadL But It Is evident that tho ""W"1 ,s an "ungrateful" one. It does not contain the elements of a true nd stirring drama, says a Paris letter In the New York Tribune. There Is no log- ,cal "I""" nor action. The play turns n. ., n..if ti,. i -iit i whTch In "varied noIVs and wUh clever ". 'expositions of French patriotism set f0rth BBaln and aam the Nepolconlc le- ECnd bccome tedIouB and monotonous.

The youth ls crushed beneath the weight of his fath. er's name. He seeks to escape and pet back to France, but hesitates because ho lacks the courage and determination to put his plan Into execution. Tho first act reveals tho life at Schon brunn, where Metternlch isolates tho Algon from all that could remind him of France. His .mother, Marie Lou'se. U there, absorbed In court, fetes and frivoli ties. There ls a group- of Bonapartlst conspirators, among whom is the young Countess Camarata. who succeeds In gain ing access to the Alglon by masquerading as a mlillner, with hats for Marie Louise. With her Is a Bonapartlst Colonel, dis guised as a tailor, who reveals himself to tho Prinee and urges .(light. The young Duke Is not ready, but resolves to pre pare himself for his destiny, by the study of history. At the end of tho act Fanny Elsiler, who ha been cleverly Introduced OL-DS A Week With the Laces This Is to be tho greatest of all lacn seasons.

In the hope of arousing the youth to fulfill his destiny. The scene with which the act closes, wherein the Prince reproaches his mother with having forgotten that she was ths wife of Caesar, is strong, but Is sugges'.lve of Hamlet approaching the Queen. In the second act the Prince, returning home from the army maneuvers, finds tho police searching his papers. Then en sues a scene where tnc Austrian officer. Count Prokcsch. by means cf a box of toy soldiers. Informs the Duke that he li devoted to htm, and ls In the conspiracy. The Duke approaches the Emperor of Aus tria and asks to be a'lowed to return to France. Metternlch convinces the Em peror of the danger, and In what ls considered the most dramatic sit uation of the play leads the Alslon before a mirror and points out to him ths dis crepancies of form, feature and expression between Relchstadt and his great father, and proves to him that he ls more a Hapsburg than a Napoleon. The Alglon, In a wild outburst of dismay and grief, rushes at the mirror and dashes lt into fragments. Sarah is here superb. The Prince finally decides to go with the con spirators. As a sign of his readiness he places upon a table the nat wnicn was worn by Napoleon at Austerlltz. A gro tesque Sergeant of tho old Imperial Guard, who, disguised as an attendant, has bees near the Prince, dons his French uniform and stands before the door of the Duke's chamber as a sentry. Metternlch appears In the moonlight, discovers the conspiracy and puts an end to It. In the next act comes the rupture of the Duke and his mother, and his love pas sages with the reader to Marie Louise, a girl named Therese, followed by the Prince's departure, while the spies around him arc thrown off the track by La Cama rata. who disguises herself as the Duke of Relchstadt. Thla part of the play Is beau tifully mounted, and the masquerade in the gardens of Schonbrunn forms a de lightful picture. Then comes the ccene on the deserted battlefield of Wngram by moonlight, where the conspirators fall, and where the old Sergeant, brought to bay, etabs himself with a knife, and, as the stain of blood appears over his heart ex claims that he is at last decorated with the "Legion of Honor." The sixth act is merely an epilogue rep resenting the end of the Duke of Relch stadt. Tho death ls reproduced from the records of the Austrian Court. It may be described as a death according to. the protocol. Tho assembled family of tho House of Hapsburg kneel In an ante chamber while the last racrament Is ad ministered. The Iron camp bedstead of the Emperor Napoleon lo placed near the golden cradle of the King of Rome. The brief Intervening space Is symbolical of the fitting nothingness of tho career of. tho Duke of Relchstadt. As the Prince be comes weaker and an acute attack of pneumonia overpowers him ho asks the Court Chamberlain to read aloud the description of the Imperial ceremonies that accompanied the announcement of the birth of the King of Rome. He nko In sists that his baptismal certificate shall' be read. In which he Is described as "Son of Napoleon, Emperor of the French, King of Rome." After the death Prince Met ternlch gives Instructions that tho body be clothed In the uniform of an Austrian Colonel, and the curtain falls. Such is the outline of Rostand's new play, which, notwithstanding Its lack of dramatic sequence and action, will be the salient theatrical sight of the Exhibition season. Sarah Bernhardt. In the terribly exhausting part of the Alglon. Is admir able, tho perfection of hex acting atoning for many of the Imperfections of the drama. A Portland Soprano netnrns. Mrs. E. S.
