This article presents information on the play "Madame Pierre," by William Harris and directed by Eugéne Brieux. It may be said that this play, too, has its moral. But Brieux does not tell that a so-called free union may be as bitterly tyrannous as the most respectable marriage; he lets see that freedom is in the self rather than in the world and its circumstances; he lets people, see two of the raciest and most convincing human creatures in all literature. There is another play "Montmartre" by Pierre Frondaie. It is the story of a modern and thoroughly realistic lady of the camelias.
