The Masquerade Ball at the Hotel de Ville Fete
A masked ball for orphans draws Alphonse Hypalite de Dudemont and Victor d Emousae, with scenes of rival suitors Diane de Foretiers Ninon Enclos and a crusader. A dramatic unmasking reveals the crusader is the father, then the mother, then the grandmother. The next day Hypolite’s body is found in the river. In a separate note, Boston players visiting an art gallery billiard hall disrupt play with silent precision and loud outbursts, breaking rules, incurring forfeits, and drawing cheers from spectators.
