At Le Théatre Sarah-Bernhardt:

As previously announced in this newspaper, Le Théatre Sarah-Bernhardt will re-open on 1 September with a revival of L’Aiglon. The main actors will include Miss Dufrène in the lead role, and Mr Lhéry as Flambeau.

Mrs Sarah Bernhardt has entrusted the part of the archduchess to the delightfully pretty Miss Marie Louise Derval, a role which corresponds perfectly to the wonderful artisitic qualities of this beautiful actress.

Family drama

This afternoon at around half past one, during an argument opposite number 38 Rue Saint-Fargeau, Mr Albert Auclair, a thirty-five year-old plumber, of 10 Rue Lyannes, fired several shots from a revolver at his wife and his mother-in-law, Mrs Emilie Septier, aged fifty-five, a concierge at 75 Avenue Gambetta.

Hit respectively on the shoulder and on the right flank, the two women were taken to Tenon hospital.

Auclair was arrested and brought before Mr Susset, chief of police.

Car lost and found

Mr Decrais, a manufacturer residing at 53 Rue Blanche, went to visit his son yesterday at 5 Rue Denis-Poisson in Ternes. After a while, Mr Decrais happened to glance out into the street and noticed that his car had disappeared.

He rushed downstairs, asked local shopkeepers if they had witnessed anything, and learned that the vehicle had been seen speeding off towards Avenue des Ternes.

He jumped into a horse-drawn carriage and, a few hundred metres further along, saw his car broken down in the middle of the street. Two men were attempting to repair it. One of them, upon seeing Mr Decrais, sprinted away as fast as his legs could carry him. The other man, who was lying under the car, was dragged out by his feet; but, when the furious car owner sought to have him arrested by the police, the man protested and, pointing to another car parked nearby, explained as follows:

“That car over there by the footpath is mine. A few minutes ago, the man who just ran off broke down and asked me to help him. I naturally agreed to do so”.

At the local police station, the driver’s explanations were accepted and he was troubled no further. As for the audacious thief, he is still being actively sought.
