AUDACIOUS RASCAL
"Knave of Hearts." by M. Corvn, is a vivaciously witty portrait of as audacious a rascal as even the seventeenth century produced. Of n rococo appearance, the boastful Count de Lauzun, so strangely successful with woman, won tho heart and hand of La Grande mademoiselle, cousin of Louis XV, His evasions and her determined onslaught make a pretty comedy. Swimming on a sea of petticoats ho was lifted to the highest dignity, and it was a resplendent Monsieur Le Due de Lauzun who had the last word when he appeared before the Court draped iu heavy mourning as the bereaved husband of a Princess of the House of Prance. "Knave of Hearts," by M. C'oryn. (Thornton Butterworth.)
