...Poldavian name of Lamidaeff might read "I'Ami d'A. F."-"the friend of A. F.," "the friend of L'Action Française" famed royalist newspaper of which the editor is Leon Daudet, bon vivant, practical jokester, son of famed Author Alphonse Daudet (Tartarin de Tarascon), exile from the republic he has so consistently lampooned (TIME, June 13, 1927, et seq.). Three days after the 28 gullible deputies replied to the "Poldavian Minister," a special edition of L'Action Française appeared...
...more ruined they are now than when they declared themselves completely ruined. Imaginations on both sides will fly high and far, but judging from current reports the German imagination will fly much the higher and farther. The Ruhr German apparently has the more pronounced characteristics of Daudet's Monsieur Tartarin who elongated and enlarged his stories to such a point that he believed them himself. For instance an official at Barmen told a newspaper correspondent that the French ran the same train of coke across the frontier by day into Alsace and back again by night, a proceeding reminiscent...
...aesthetic and dilettante free-lance, reverting from the broader and more serious policy of recent years. The December number leaves an impression of fine skein, filmy, evanescent.

...story of "Les Absents" depicts the disorders which a well regulated house-hold is thrown into by the arrival of a long absent and beloved newhew. The author, Alphonse Daudet, displays in this play the same vivacious style and close observation shown in "Tartarin". The last comedy, "Permettez Madame," tells of the obstacles thrown in the way of two lovers, who, hindered by the obstinacy of their respective guardians, finally succeed in arranging their wedding. The situations in this play give a good idea of Labiches's prolific imagination, animation, and unceasing gaiety...
