PLAN OF MISS KINGSTON
Popular London Actress TO Build a
Playhouse Exclusively for Brit
ism High Society People.

Especial Cable 10 Herald Republican,
London, Aug. 6.-The theatrical
world is intensely interested in the
rather daring venture of Miss Gertrude
Kingston, the popular actress. who is
to build a playhouse which will be
known as the Little Theatre In John
street, Adelphi on the site formerly
occupied by Coutt's bank. The Little
theatre viii not be for the masses. Tt
Will accommodate only 800 persons,
and there Will be only stalls and boxes
but the '1ittleness" will not extend 10
the stage, which Will be OF ample di-
mansions.
The plays to be reproduced will be
not only intellectual, but as realistic
as the authorities will allow. and Miss
Kingston expects her theatre TO be
patrCnized by the intellectual smart
set as represented by such people as
the Duchess of Sutherland. the Duchess
OF Portland, Lady Charles Beresford,
Lord kilmOrey, Mrs. ROnalds and other
inVeterate theatregOers. Charles FrOh-
mans repertOry experiment viii be
followed, but Miss Kingston has gone
one better" and whenever she pro-
duces new play, the name OF the au-
thor will not be disclosed until after
the first performance. This. OF course,
is meant to stultify its critics, and the
scheme has already been discussed in
all its bearings.
Miss Kingston, If not a very great
actress, has the distinction OF being
the first Of her profession to be ad-
mitted to the inner circle OF London
society.

FRENCH PEOPLE ARE
SHOWN TO Be THRIFTY
Three-Quarters of Them Own Some
Property at the Age Of
Fifty Years.

Especial Cable 10 Herald Republican,
Paris, Aug. I'm another of his in
stFuctive statistical articles DR.. Jacques
BertillOn informs US that three quarters
of the French men and women own
some property when they reach the age
OF so. This property is extremely small
in the majority of cases. but At any
rate, it exists, showing that its pos
SCISSOR has not been in distress, as IL
he had been in needy circumstances
he would have begun by falling back on
this reserve. Turning to statistics,
however the writer shows that people
who die before the age of %, seldom
leave anything behind them, even il
they belong TO wealthy families. For
tune, be it great OF small, comes AT d
later age. as time is needed TO inherit
or TO amass some capital by work.
1t is interesting TO note that the pro-
portion in Paris of The persons who own
something is only half that OF owners
of the rest of France, with the eXcep-
ton Of The jewellers in the other big
towns, and this is all the more re-
markable a s PaSis is the center OF the
wealth of France. There is immense
wealth in Paris, but even what may be
termed phantom SUGGESTIONS because
they are so very small, are extremely
rare in Paris. where a number of peO-
pie do not even own furniture In the
Industrial districts the proportion OF
pOsseSsOrs is also comparatively trt-
fling while. on the other hand, in the
rural districts in the center of France
II is seldom that man or even wOm-
an Of so has not something TO leave.
The proportion Of people who own
something, however little il may be, is
much greater in France than in any
other country about which statistical
information can be derived Doctor
Jacques BertillOn asks whether this fact
may not explain the extraordinary
smallness Of the birth rate. and he con-
cludeS with the remark. This is how
conditions. which are apparently excel
lent, may have the most disastrous con-
sequences"
It is. by the way, of interest to OBJ
serve that this distinguished statisti-
elan considers that England Is nearly
twice as rich as France.

London, Aug. 6.-King Georges cor
onation. which has been fixed by royal
proclamation for some date in June

that OF King Edward. Not that it Will
be shorn of any of the gorgeous cere-

fact that the last coronation was only
