1t seems to be the popular belief that
Napoleon Bonaparte was a gruif, sour
natured man, whose military strength
was his key 10 the heart citadel Of men.
But he was no such individual, as all
those with whom he ever came 10 con.
tact have testified. On the contrary he
was a born diplomat. To his eXtTa0r-
dinaTy power Of fascination, a striking
testimony seems, In an aneCdOte OF
Lord keith's, we'll authenticated
When some one alluded IN the old ad.
mirals hearing to Bonaparte's repeated
request Of a personal interview with the
pTince.regent, he said ION my con
science l believe If you consent 10 that,
they will be excellent friends inside of
half an hour" And 1t Is this soft side
0f Napoleon's character that Is shown
In Albert Roland Haven's great histoh-
cal play, Josephine, Empress Of the
French. which the well known actress,
Mile. Rhea, will present here. The
womanly side of the beautiful character
of Josephine which Mile. Rhea Is said
TO interpret so grandly, Is shown. In
short, the domestic life OF these two
wonderful characters has received
more attention at the hands Of the
clever young dTamatist than the stormy
episodes that brought so much sorrow
and misery 10 both.
