EUGENE FRANCIS VIDOCQ.

Hist, Sh-h.
Whose biography is this?
Let us hiss it between our clfnched
teeth
Vidocq, the detective.
Eugene Francis Vidocq, next to
Sherlock Holmes, Nick Carter and
Old Sleuth, the greatest detective
who ever lived, was born in Arras,
France, 134 years ago today.
He was the son Of a baker, but he
did not take kindly to the dough-
kneading business. Indeed, he began
his career as a thief, and thus gained
the practical knowledge of the Grim
inal clans that he later used with
good effect as a thief-catcher.
When a young man, he entered the
French army, was wounded and dis
charged, and began the life of vaga-
bond, resuming his criminal career.
In 1875 he came to grief, being sent
to the galleys for eight years as a
convicted forger
He contrived to escape from the
galleys and joined a band of highway
men. He took solemn oath not to
betray them, but his companions be-
came suspicious and expelled him
from their ranks
1t was then that Vidocq disproved
the proverb honor among thieves. .
Disregarding his oath, he went to
Paris and disclosed the hiding place
of the highwaylnen to the authorities.
For this act he was literally re-
warded, and then and there he de-
cided, that honesty is the best policy.
He became a detective, and made
some wonderful discoveries of bur-
glaries and other crimes.
AS a sleuth. some of his feats CON-
pare favorably with those of Sher-
lock Holmes His ability in this line,
however, has been called in question
by the allegation that the crimes he
unraveled were committed by men,
bers of his own band, who were later
betrayed by Vidocq to add to his own
fame
There was apparently some basis
to these charges, as Vidocq was dis
missed from the police force in dis
grace in 1925. He then engaged IN
some questionable business opera
tions, and wrote a book detailing his
wonderful experiences as detective,
some of which may have been true.
He died in 1857.

::::::::::By William S. Brewer::::::::::

NEW YORK, June 23.-An Broad
way is preparing to welcome Charles
F'rohman on his return from Europe
tomorrow and rival managers, Incl
dentally, are on the qui vive to hear
about official plans for the coming
Frohman season; these the great man
ager usually announces as soon as he
lands. In fact there are those who
say that the busy Charles whiles away
| the tedium during the trip across the
Atlantic preparing manifold copies OF
his announcement in orddr to scare
away sea- sickness.
From an authoritative source it is
known that very ambitious things
have been planned for Maude Adams
and Ethel Barrymore. Mr. Frohman
having recently declared, by cable,
| that Miss Barrymore, is now full
fedged woman, not from the stand
point of age, but of ability. He now
considers her capable of taking emo
tional roles and essaying parts hitherto
considered too heavy for her.
From letters already received from
London, he announces the cement
OF everal important English stars,
| also the requirement of four or five
English theatefs, one of which he will

Empire theater stock company from
which has graduated so many we'll
known stars of today.
TheatricaIly speaking, everyone is
more interested in the new seasons
plans as they will be carried out by
the various managers and stars than
In anything else just now.
The Shuberts announce that they
have selected "The Girl from the
States" is by Glen MacDonough. with
music by Baldwin Sloane and Ray

those already engaged to support MISS
Chaser are Connie Ediss, Alexander
Carrie, Roy Atwell George Leon
Moore, william Danforth. Eugene

role. This will be the most important

Looking as 1T as a fiddle, Blanche
Walsh has returned from abroad, all
ready, as the pugilists say, to give
the fight of her life.
Miss Walshs fight will, as usual, be

season is made particularly interesting
because she has been chosen as the
opening attraction Of the William Penn
theater. in Philadelphia, the promo

caused the suicide of G. A. WeGefarth,
and the title of which has been In III

Although of only moderate height and
weight Henson has wonderful endur-

Henson is frequently sent out in charge
of small hunting and exploring parties,
