Of the many great plays produced by the French masters, the story you're about to hear, by Anatole France, ranks as one of the finest. Originally written for the entertainment of his close friends, this rollicking comedy has been grabbed by theaters across the world since. Although the scene of the play is set in the Paris of a bygone century, the satire and conversation might well be of today. This is the favorite story of Helen Traubel, the distinguished soprano of the Metropolitan Operatic Company.
