TELLS OF SEA HORROR

announcement that Lady Duff-Gordon

inquiry into the sinking Of the Titanic
was resumed
Lady uff-Gordon. in low tones. but
with uplifted head. apparently unem-
barrassed by the hundreds OF eyes

the night OF terror In the ice fields
She said that she was very seasick and
declined TO enter the lifeboat at all un'
less Sir Cosmo were allowed TO go
with her. An officer gave permission,
she said. and both got into the boat.
Vehemently Lady Duff-Gordon pro-
nounced absolutely false extracts from
the New York American, published
after the arrival OF the Carpathia, 10
the effect that the Duff-Gordons OBJ
jected TO the lifeboat going back to
rescue the drowning.
Lady Duff-Gordon admitted that she
heard the walls and cries for help OF
those doomed aboard the vessel before
the Titanic sank, but denied that any
cries were heard after the liner disap-
peared.
Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon, resuming his
testimony that was interrupted by Fri
days adjournment, said that he did
not know the Titanic was equipped
with only enough hfeboats to accom-
modate about half OF the passengers
and crew.
On REORGANIZATION, Sir Cosmo
said that II was but natural, under the
trying circumstances, not to think OF
going back for those In the water. But
it would have been splendid thing,

OF German university life, is the Of
iering OF Vaughan Chaser and his
company In the Lyceum theater this
week, and II received a hearty recep-
ton from the Sunday audiences. AS
play II Is full OF life and color and
the enthusiasm OF youth with the
shadow OF responsibility in sombre
contrast
Besides the picture OF student life
there Is also picture OF the life OF
kings, and II Is not so pleasant as IL
Is sometimes imagined TO be. the
play puts strong emphasis on the
loneliness OF the life OF royalty set
apart from their fellowmen and un-
able to taste the joys OF comradeship.
, Vaughan CHASER as Karl Heinrich.
heir apparent to the throne OF
Sachsen- Karlsberg. brought up for the
first 20 years OF his life within lone
ly castle and then suddenly loosed
into Heidelberg, scores a success. He
puts a remarkable amount OF youthful
enthusiasm into the part and yet
there is a dignity which asserts Itself
when the call comes.
Miss Courteney has the role OF
Kathie the inn-keeper's niece, who
finds the young prince quite as human
as his fellowstudents. She Is especi-
ally good In the scene OF parting
when Karl Heinrich is suddenly called

A feature OF the performance was
the student singing done by double

"Old Heidelberg" is deliberately
staged, throughout. There Is plenty
OF life and action, and II portrays the
