FRITZ SCHEFF FRIEND
OF QUEEN VICTORIA
Singing Windsor Castle She Charmed the Late Ruler of
Great Britain-Her Visits All Informal
q $50

Sometimes Miss FRITZ Schef wears a
betutiful bracelet of diamonds and tur-
quoises that is her especial pride. 1t
was gift from the late Queen Victoria
of England. not in the sense of a deco
ration or reward for services rendered.
but only n simple token of affectionate
regard, as one may learn from an in
scription within the bracelet.
Miss Scheff first sang in London at
the Royal Italian Opera House. Covent
Garden, in the summer preceding the
death of her late majesty. and one day
during the season the company received
royal command TO sing la Boheme' az
Windsor Castle. Miss Scheff was the
Musette on the occasion, and afterwards
with the other artists, she was present.
ed 10 the Queen, whose custom was 10
express her thanks in few brief, hap
PLY chosen words. Evidently FRITZ
Scheff's youthfulness attracted the
Queens attention. because she inquired
of her how long she had been in opera
saying that she had never heard her
name mentioned before.
Within the next month came mes
sage from Lieutenant General Bigee.
private secretary to the Queen. saying
thUt Her Majesty desired Miss Scheff' 5
presence on a certain afternoon al
Windsor. That was the beginning of a
remarkable friendship that continued
until the end of the Queens life. She
always conversed in German. which she
spoke perfectly and without accent.

Sometimes one or another of the roval
princesses would be present at these in
terviews. but more often there would
only be the Queen and Iady-in-wait-
ing besides the prima donna.
When Miss Scheff was about TO leave
England for Vienna at the close of the
London season. she went to Bucking-
nam Palace, where the Court was in
residence, 20 take farewell of her royal
friend kissing her on both cheeks
the Queen thanked her for the pleasure

The Stage Journalist
Generally a Nondescript Ut
terlu Unlike Anything 6 Ever
Seen in a Newspaper Of
flee or Wherever Else
Newspaper Men Most Do
Congregate.

This time 1t is a French dramatist
that has gone and done il. His name is
Picard and he is a Partisan He has
given his creation the title "Ambidextre,
Journalist" which in all sooth is suf-
ficiently forbidding. because it raises the
suspicion that the hero of the play is
a fellow who can take notes with both
hands at the same time and DO other
equally appalling stunts. The play was
recently produced at Ostend, and report
has it that it is quite creditable thing
A translation into English is threatened.
and in due time the English version will
presumably be tried on the American
public. And if we get Monsieur Ambi-
dextre in all his Gallo originality, then
will confusion become worse confound-
ed. for the average American cannot
conceive OF any newspaper man like the
Partisan species.
All this. however. is merely introduc-
tory The real question is this: How is
:. that no American playwright has
yet succeeded in portraying an Ameri-
can newspaper man as he really is?
Why is IL that the creatures who are
paraded on the stage as reporters or
editors are the merest caricatures of
the real article? Were they really to
exist in the flesh they would be tolerat-
ed in any self-1especting newspaper Of
nee just long enough for the bouncer
TO get his work in on them. The fail
ure OF the American authors of conte-n-
poraneous plays in this respect is all
the more remarkable because so large
q number of them have graduated from
the ranks Of journalism One would
suppose that their ersrwhile Familiarity
with men in the newspaper profession
might enable them 20 evolve in their
plays character that would at least
resemble remotely a reporter as he lives
and moves and has his being.
Thus far this evidently has not heen
attempted All tho stage Journalists
seem TO be patterned upon the one IN
Fatinitza- They are clowns and ac,
clownishIy. Not one of them has eve,
presented the life and activity OF n re
porter or editor as these actually, oc.
cur in the everyday routine of wei

furnish material for dozens of poo5
