Such a play might make a great first-night success; but the more the author relied upon the mystery for his effect, the more fatally would that effect be discounted at each successive repetition. One author of distinction, M. Hervieu, has actually made the experiment of presenting an enigma he calls the play L'Enigme and reserving the solution to the very end.
"Clélie and I go at our make-believe acting quite seriously. We have to if we're to fool ourselves that it's an occupation." "Why this anxiety to prove to me that you're not really serious?" Susan laughed mockingly for answer, and went on: "You should see us do the two wives in 'L'Enigme' or mother and daughter in that diary scene in 'L'Autre Danger'!"
When it was announced that Mrs. Tree was to give a translation of "L'Enigme" of M. Paul Hervieu at Wyndham's Theatre, the play was announced under the title "Which?" and as "Which?" it appeared on the placards. Suddenly new placards appeared, with a new title, not at all appropriate to the piece, "Cæsar's Wife." Rumours of a late decision, or indecision, of the censor were heard.
Immigration, I find, is le mot de l'énigme. Between 1860 and 1865 I studied the labour-question in West Africa, and my short visit in 1882 has convinced me that it is becoming a vital matter for our four unfortunate establishments, Bathurst, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, and Lagos.
