ANNOUNCE CAST FOR ANNUAL PLAY OF CERCLE FRANCAIS

The Cercle Francais will present its play, "Le Coeur Dispose", by Francis de Croisset, at Jordan Hall, Boston, at 8 o'clock Saturday evening, December 16, and at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, December 18.

"Le Coeur Dispose" elicited the unanimous approval of the Paris critics when it was first produced at the Comedie Francaise Theatre in 1912, and evoked particularly favorable comment at the first play to depict successfully the rise to prominence of the middle class Frenchman. The piece was considered significant because it took for a hero the typical youth of modern France, marking the start of a new movement in French drama.

The story of the play concerns itself with the way in which a young secretary, Robert Levaltier, saves his employer from financial ruin and in so doing wins the hand of his daughter, Helene. The plot, however, and even the action are considered quite secondary in importance to the dialogue, the brilliance of which has been largely responsible for the success of the play.
