There is much speculation in political
circles at Vienna, according to adylces

| tons. The present heir apparent,
| Archduke Francis Ferdinand, son OF the
late Archduke Charles Louis, second
brother of the present emperor, is not
a strong man, and 1t is feared ne Will

tenant Hines, Victoria Cross, which is
pronounced the best thing he has ever

for them but at present they have not
mastered it or appear likely to do so.
With thousands of capable actors and
actresses out OF employment, why
should the most pronounced amateur
ishness be permitted to GUST talent?'
