ITALY LOSING HER
RARE WORKS OF ART
Despite the Laws Rich Foreigners
Manage to Get Them Out of
the Country.

ROME, Dec. 3.-Italians complain
that there are many works of art con-
stantly leaving Italy which never get
back. There is a law against taking
them out of the country, but even un-
der the eyes of the Government, or
when the Government chooses to close
its eyes, pictures, statues, holy water
basins. Della Robbia ware, all sorts of
beautiful things, are being bought up
by rich foreigners. Italians go to Lon
don or Paris and are astonished TO find
their native art looking very home
sick. in the drawing of rich for
eigners.
If you are walking in Italy and ask
to go over any likely looking villa you
will certainly see something you fancy.
Ask the servant to sell it to you. Very
likely he will. His master is poor, and
he is poorer. No Government can really
prevent the poor from selling to the
rich.

PRINCESS WAS SANE WHEN
PLACED IN A MADHOUSE
Evidence That Doctors Who Commit
ted Louise of Coburg Were
Br1)ed by Her People.

PARIS, dec. 3.-With regard to
Princess Louise of Coburg, the medical
reports which led to her internment
in an asylum have been published.
The perusal of these documents suf-
fees to show at once the rascality of
the Austrian doctors, who basely ac-
cepted bribes from the husband OF the
lady and allowed themselves to be in
timidated by the imperial encourage.
For over a month now the Princess
has been in Paris, coming and going
as freely as any women in the capital,
telling the story of her unhappiness
and Of the prosecutions of which sne
has been the victim with a clearness
and coherency which shows the pos
session of the sanest and most equabIe
of minds. But what the medical re-
ports do not show and what she her
self has maintained silence upon is the
part taken by her father. the King
of the Belgians, the cruel and dis
honest plot of which his own daugh-
ter was the victim.
Whenever she is questioned upon
this part of her story the unhappy
Princess always replies: Il don't want
10 complain of my father. When he
seees me perhaps his sentiments with
regard to me will change. He will un-
derstand that he has been deceived"

Gordon Lennox she got good-looking
husband, who is rich, and who comes
Of a family that insures social distinc-
tion in England, and who has the
knack of writing or adapting plays
that fit to IT. his wifes gifts for
comedy. Although The Marriage of
Kitty was by no means a dramatic
cause of the opportunities it gave its
leading lady to be saucy, piquant, ca
PRECIOUS and fascinating.
The new Lennox play, produced this
week at the Criterion under the FrQh-
man management, is much the same
order of things, resembling its prede-
cessor even in the detail of having a
particularly good first act, and there
after thinning out appreciably. 1t
gave Marie Tempest her chance, and
she took it. Her quick wit, grasp of
character and remarkable command of
facial expression would have carried
to success a much less satisfactory
comedy than The Freedom of Su-
zanne."
The plot, or part Of 1t, was suggested
by one Of "Gyp's" neat, naughty stories,
and deals with the experiment of
frisky young wife who got a divorce
from her husband because he objected
to her goings-on. OF course, when she
got her freedom she discovered that her
husband was a better fellow than any
Of the rest Of her admirers, and she
wanted him back-and got him. AL
though the plot is so thin, the incidents,
dialogue and action are bright and
sometimes daring, as, for instance, in
the last act when Suzanne, in love
again with her husband, appears unin-
vited in his bachelor fat. One of her
slippers is wet and her husband is per-
mitted to remove it, .-Whereupon it is
discovered that the dainty silk stocking
also is wet. so that after due coyness
the audience is treated to the spectacle
of a delighted young man tenderly
fondling a pink little foot and unbur-
dening himself of prose poems on the
subject.

ANOTHER POTTER FAILURE.

II is an unhappy coincidence that two
actresses, both well known to Ameri-
cans and both engaged in producing
ambitious plays on their own account,
should have come to grief in London
on the same day. For Mrs. Brown
Potter's experience with For Church
or Stage" was little less unfortunate
than Miss Nethersole's with THE Flute
Of Pan"
For Church or Stage" is the piece
that the worthy Vicar of Gorleston.
who has written several novels under
the name Of ''AthOl Forbes" wrote for
Mrs. Potter some time ago and describ-
ed before its production as just a little
dangerous. Its hero is a clergyman,
who falls in love with an actress and
then, after several precarious weeks,
renOunces her and goes back to his
flock. Although the piece was not with
out evidences that its clerical author
has some dramatic ability, it is much

TWO ACTRESSES
COME TO GRIEF
Failures in London on Same
Day for olga Nethersole
and Mrs. Brown Potter
PLAYS DO NOT PLEASE
American Artists Roughly
Treated by the Gallery
Critic of Great Britain

LONDON. Dec. 3-Olga Nethersole
received harsh treatment when she
opened IN The Flute OF Pan" the
other night, but il was not because she
was "bcoed" that the actress burst
into tears at the end Of the third act.
-'Boos" there were in plenty. and the
hoodluns who made them at the eX-
pense Of two women have been roast
ed by the newspapers. who are asking
when this roMdyism at first nights viii
be stopped.
1t was, however, a series Of loud and
significant gurfRws which told Miss
Nethersole that her careful and eX
pensive production of Mrs. Craigie's
latest play was not to be a success.
For these manifestations Of amuse-
ment came in the midst of a supposed
y moving" scene and showed, as 1t
had been shown that afternoon in the
case Of the new play produced by Mrs.
BrOwn-P Potter, that the audience was
not impressed in the manner which the
author had intended
The scene was that Of a Princess alb
oIcating her right 10 the crown of an
imaginary Continental state in order
that she might retire into private life
with the man she loved. 1t was a diff
hcult performance for Miss Neither
sole, who played the Princess, and had
10 read three or four portentious
proclamations with big red seals hang
ing 10 them, and IL was characteristic
OF the gallery crowd that it laughed
openly at the actress discontinue.
When the curtain rose again after
falling at the end of the act it dis
covered Miss Nethersole with her
. hands over her eyes and her frame
shaking with sObs. But the fact re-
mains that the gallery merely ex-
more or less almost from the begin
ming, rather bored amusement at what
was intended to be taken seriously.
PLOT WITHOUT DEPTH.
The piece begins with the Princess
proposing marriage TO an old lover of
hers, who has gone in for TolstOism
after being cast off by her, because she
needs a man TO lead her armies. There
is an insurrection in her kingdom. He
consents on condition that she return
10 private life with him after he has
brought peace TO her land, and to this
condition she agrees. So far so good,
= but then we get a whole series of jeal-
ousies on the part of the welded pair
which the merest word Of explanation
on either side would have set right.
In this way sympathy is lost before
the play is half-Over. Mrs. Craigie has
failed TO redeem the slenderness Of her
plot by brilliancy Of dialogue. In short,
there was little enough in the work to
recall either The ambassador" or THE
Bishops Move" and what led Miss
NethersOle TO lavish money on giving
il a sumptuous London production with
an uncOmmonly expensive cast is not
clear
