"The Comedie Francaise is'
unique as a theater in that it is
run today on basically the same
principles upon which it was'
formed in the days of Moliere,"
Elizabeth Nizan explained yester-
day in French.
Mademoiselle Nizan, an ex-ac-
tress of the Comedie, presented two
"causerie-recitals" sponsored by
the Romance Languages depart-
men.
Her causerie recitals consist of a
lecture on some aspect of French
literature interspercedi with reci-
tations of appropriate poetry or
prose selections.
French Drama
As Miss Nizan explained, "Most
of the members of our troupe dedi-
cate their lives to the theater and
could be called the guardians of
the repertory of French drama
from the classical period, through.
Romanticism and including mod-
ern drama."
When asked her favorite roles,
sparkling-eyed actress laughingly.
declared that she had performed'
mostly "ingenue" or "sweet young
thing" parts. Miss Nizan especi-
ally enjoyed portraying Agnes in
Moliere's "Ecole des Femmes," a'
role which marked her debut at
the Comedie Francaise.
Miss Nizan left the Comedie
Francaise in 1937 and did not re-
turn to the theatre during the war.
The close of the war marked the
beginning of Miss Nizan's world
wide tours of causerie recitals, such
as she presented here yesterday.
"The war cut so many of our
lives in two," Miss Nizen remarked
seriously. "So many aspects of
European life such as literature
are regarded in terms of pre-war
or post-war."
Literary Soiree
In "Une soiree a J'Arsenal en
1830," the lecture which Miss Ni-
zan presented yesterday, the viva-
cious actress verbally reconstruct-
ed the atmosphere of a literary
soiree "chez" Charles Nodier, an
eminent literary figure of the 19th
century.
In French, Miss Nizan expres-
sively described the poets of
Romanticism gathered at this soi-
ree and recited their poetry.
The veteran actress especially

"I feel that American students'
are quite eager for knowledge and
are quite receptive to my work,"
Miss Nizan declared warmly. "Yet
they are so different from our
European students because of their
backgrounds."
"The normal, secure back-
grounds of most American students
and the bitter wartime memories
of European students hwve made
it difficult for the young people
to understani each otier," the
grey-haired actress remarked.
"Unfortunately," she continued,
"when we don't understand some-
one's attitude we tend to criticize
him rather than attempt to under-
stand him. American and foreign
students must approach each other
with understanding and love rath-
er than criticism."

W ELL you just did. Detroit was so sure you'd like

First of all, when you get a new car, you'll be getting
the finest car money ever bought. A car as exciting to
look at as to drive. With new, lower styling, exciting
new colors. Powered with surging horsepower for the
super highway age.
Second, you'll cash in on a booming economy. When
Detroit produces cars everybody wants, they keep more
