Oh quel Nul at the Concert Mayel O Nul at La Luna Rousse, Le Nu Aux Nues at L'Abri, Ca porte aux Nues at the Montparnasse. In fact the American tourist in Paris should not suffer from lack of diverse dramatic fare. All you have to do is pay your money and take your choice, and-especially to one of these nice light comedies by Racine or Corneille-your wife...
