Efforts to explain the world economic depression led sapient Professor Corrado Gini of the University of Rome last week to divide homo sapiens, like Gaul, into three parts. This was important because the French semi-official newsorgan Le Temps proceeded next day to take the division most seriously.

Those to whom the classics are best represented by the unmarked graves of tattered text books and whose Latin is bounded by the three parts of Gaul will go to the Sanders Theatre tonight to at least a compromise with the ancients.

Chameleon Pierre turns Babbitt, nearly estranges the girl while ingratiating himself with her father, ultimately wins her with a recrudescence of Gallic passion when his success is dramatically jeopardized by an American rival...
