THIRD COFFIN EXPECTED BY FRENCH ACTOR Sacha Guitry is a French act or who chose -to collaborate with the Germans. A short time ago Guitry was working on a film. Between the shooting of two sets a small packet was handed to him. It contained a tiny model of a coffin. Guitry never com pleted the film. More recently he was performing in a comedy. At the end of the second act, when Guitry returned to his dressing room, he found on his make-up table the second model of a coffin, larger than the first. When the curtain was due to rise on the third act, it was ex plained that M. Guitry was sud denly indisposed. M. Guitry is suffering from heart trouble waiting for the third coffin. Re ceipt of a third coffin by a traitor in France indicates his coming doom.
