BEERBOHM TREE
MAKES HIT AS
COL. NEWCOME
British Actor Wins High
Praise From Critics in
the First Production.
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE CALL.

LONDON, June 16.-Coquelin is over
here, full of activity. Yesterday, for
instance. he was reciting at the French
Embassy, also at Miss Alexander's mu-
sical matinee. Later in the evening he
played at the new Royalty Theater in
Capus' 'Notre Jeunesse."
BY the way. Miss Alexander. with her
darky dialect recitals. brought down
the house in the entertainment at the
New loyalty. Her representations are
unique.
Beerbohm Trees ascent from the plane
where he had been the object of severe
criticisms to the pedestal of unquali-
fed praise was the most notable event
of the week in the theatrical world In
his presentation of Michael Mortan's
play, Colonel ewcome." adapted from
Thackeray,s story, he scored a success
which called forth favorable comment.
even from critics who fortnight ago
were relentless in their denunciation of
his ability as an actor The storm of
criticism ended in the proverbial burst
o. sunshine but Trees most ardent ad-
mirers are not denying that he has
been very fortunate in the selection of
a vehicle with which to combat the re-
cent attacks and to remove the stigma
placed upon his reputation.
Mr.. Mortons adaptation of the quaint
pathetic story of gallant soldier,
whom Thackeray describes as man
with the heart of a little child, is a
highly creditable piece of work. From
the wealth of material which the book
affords he has chosen incidents in con-
structing the play which give an intel
lgent outline of the original plot and
at the same time are not disjointed.
To the story, which is almost devoid
of dramatic interest. has been given the
luster of intense situations which dis
pei what might otherwise prove tire
some portrayal of that lovable, sim
pie character, the Colonel. Each act is
so dependent on what comes after that
the interest of the audience continues
and when the denouement is reached its
conception is found to be work of art.
Trees style of acting is peculiarly
well suited to the portrayal of the role
of the Colonel In voice, figure and
mannerisms he has the combination of
elements that produces a splendid and
typical impersonation of the character
as described by Thackeray. His define
alton breathes the spirit of that age of
chivalry in which Colonel Newcome
lived He acts the part naturally. with
out effort, although it would be easy to
make the role forced. stilted and awk-
ward. There is every promise of the
play having bright future in store.

Emperor Watches Conflict
Of Capital and Labor
in the United States.
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE CALL.

BERLIN. June 16.-"It is with SYM
pathetic eyes that Kaiser Wilhelm re-
CARDS the titanic struggle in America
between capital and labor" said Pro-
fessor j. Laurence Laughlin of the
University of Chicago, who left Ber-
lin today at the conclusion of series
of lectures given by him in Berlin un-
der the auspices of the PrusSian Min
istry of Education
Something of a similar problem he
has to face in his own country There
is a class struggle on his hands-not
of capital and labor, but of the aris-
tocracy against the rising ambitions
of the materially successful Family
and inherited official position have
heretofore ruled in Germany. but now
the aristocracy of the past is becom-
ing poor and the wealthy industrial
classes, who already have power. de-
sire recognition. Because of their
humble ancestral origin they are
looked down upon by the high caste.
and they are firing OF it.
IT believe the Kaiser is himself fore
most in recognizing the force welded
by the industrial leaders and he is de-
sirous of breaking down the artificial
barrier which has withheld from them
recognition. Though his title is the
war lord Emperor Wilhelm has been q
far greater leader in the industrial
battlefield and he is desirous that his
captains in that field should be hon
ored- This is not from the Emperor s
own lips, but il is we'll known at court.
He conceives that the career of
America can be seriously injured by
the struggle between capital and labor.
He is full of sympathetic and extreme
ly intelligent interest in conditions in
the United States.
THE Kaiser also told me that the
practical Christianity contained in the
recent lectures of Professor Peabody
of Harvard University brought need
ed message to Germany. He remarked.
forcibly, that DR.. Peabody kept away
from dogmatic theology and empha-
sized the practical relation of religion
to conduct. That is what I myself
have always preached he said
Professor Laughlin was impressed
by the mental alertness of the Crown
Prince and particularly by his insight
in the affairs of industrial America.
The Crown Prince said the profess
sor, expressed a desire to see those
phases of our life which Uncle Henry's
strenuous, banqueting rush across the
country did not permit him to investi-

PARIS, June 16.-Americans who are
in Paris this summer. and who do not
want to miss seeing one of the most
interesting old structures in the French
capital, should pay an early visit to
the Rue de Sevres, where stands the
famous Abbaye-aux-Bois soon to fall
victim to the housebreakers pick.
The ancient abbaye, which will give
way to modern apartment buildings, is
well worth a visit as one of the oldest
converts in Paris-a religious refuge,
TOO. that became Jail during the Rev
olution.. Its best claim to the interest
of American visitors. however, lies in
its close association with the cele-
brated Madame Recamier. with whose
name, in fact, it is inseparably con-
nected.
In the time of the restoration the alb
baye, which then had been restored to
its first use, was transformed by the
nuns into sort of pension. where
women of the upper classes retired to
taste the sweets of solitude and calm
repose. and here Madame Recamier,
the friend of great men, came to re-
tire after her husbands ruin and the
death of her friend. Madame de Stael
Here it was, too, that she held her ia
nous salon-the most envied in Paris
where Chateaubriand reigned as king,
and to which all the illustrious ones of
the restoration solicited the honor of

FRENCH WRITER HAS
GREAT PRAISE FOR
WIFE OF PRESIDENT
She Finds Mrs. Roosevelt All
Grace, Diplomacy and
Finesse.
SPECIAL CABLE TO THE CALL.

PARIS. June 16-There has been a
large harvest in France in the last few
months of books on America. the latest
being "The Impressions of French
Woman in America by Mile. Therese
yianzone The volume is dedicated to
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, and the writ
er sings her praises without stint.
Mile Vianzone says the Presidents
wife affords the greatest possible con-
trast to her distinguished husband. She
found him all force and energy, while
Mrs. Roosevelt was distinctly the oppo-
site.
To the writer ''the first woman of
America" appeared to be all grace
finesse and diplomacy. The President
and his wife, according to Mile, Wan
zones Impressions, supplement each
other perfectly. and therefore live in
the utmost harmony. y
From beginning to end the volume is
song of gratitude to the American
people The writer found the hospital
ity of that country unsurpassed, both
individually and collectively.
She goes into personalities with the
greatest freedom. and tells just what
she thinks of Secretary Bonaparte. Car
dinal Gibbons. Julia Ward Howe, the
Pierces. Turnbulls. Litchfields and Nc
Cormicks. The personal characteristics
or all these people, and many others
are commented upon most favorably
and little stories of their home life are
given to show how charming is their
hospitality.
The interest in the United States at
this time is manifested by the fact that
all France highly praises this volume
for its accuracy.

REpARATIoN DELAYEn.

Though, like Loizemant a man may
be acknowledged guiltless even by
those who pronounced him guilty,
when presumption without proof was
against him, he remains subject to this
rigorous judicial treatment so long as
a decree of the courts has not broken
the original verdict. And, as has been
said, this absolute revision is so diff
cult that it is almost vain to hope
for it.
An instance in point is that of KiraiI,
q released convict, who for seven years
past has been seeking to have his ac-
knowledged innocence officially recog-
nized. The Chamber of Deputies is al
ways preparing" to examine into his
case, which is, in truth, a singular one.
Twenty-three years ago Kirail was ar
rested for completely in murder, the
charge being brought against him by
two men, Abadie and Knobeloch, who
were caught red handed. The three
were condemned to penal servitude for
life, KiraiPs protestations of innocence
being overweighed by the accusations
of his supposed accomplices. though he
offered proof that on the day of the
crime he was confined to his bed with
an injured foot.
After thirteen years of hard labor in
New Caledonia, Abadie and Knobeloch
confessed one day that they had per-
jured themselves to incriminate Kirail.
One of them bore him a grudge; both
wished to perpetrate good joke al
the expense of the law" The affair
was carefully investigated and Kirails
innocence conclusively proved. He was
released and returned to France.
He has neither been able to obtain
work. since he must show his certificate
from the penitentiary, nor has he sue
ceeded in having his case brought up
French Judges and lawyers generally
resented a remark of Abadie and
Knobeloch, to the effect that they
had played the Judges like so many
monkeys on sticks and the dignity OF
the profession will apparently not ad-
init of officially establishing the ac-
curacy of the statement.
