Famous French Actress Believes Multiplication

can critics have grown pitiless, while
the more educated portion of the pub
lie has ceased to take the drama Sc
riously.
The disorder has assumed such
grave proportions" writes Nine ST.
none, that it can hardly last much
longer. The situation created by the
two syndicates has reached its max
imum limits, the number of theaters
will most probably be lessened.
Once stage conditions in America
have become more favorable materi-
ally and the indefinite multiplication
Of theaters cease, no big spectators
and financiers will benefit, but th@
competent and conscientious man
who knows his business"
Nine. SimOne praises David Belas-
co. In passing she also says some
pleasant things of George Tyler wh1
revealed her TO New York.
Then, weighing what is understood
by the drama in America and corn
pairing it with the drama in France
she draws attention to the simpliclty
and freshness of our rising play

Nine. Simone shows how much de-
pends on personality in the New

while Americans lack the finished art
and method Of the Paris stage, they
have youth and courage.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-Colonel Rob
ert NJ Thompson, one of the most
persistent transatlantic travellers
himself, has given some original
views on the subject of the amount
of money spent by Americans N
Europe.
Il estimate that $35O,OOO,OOO was
spent by Americans abroad this sea
SON." he said. This is very fine for
the European hotel and restaurant
keepers; also for those who are
spending it; but we outght to realize
that this enormous amount of capital
is taken from US probably never to
return.
Imagine what that amount devoted
to the expansion of industries and TO
gathering the crops would have done
at home. My theory is that we ought
to put a tax on transatlantic pleas
ure seekers.
THE first trip ought to be free
that is educational But after that
why not put a tax of 81 on the next
trip, the amount Of the impost rising
for each subse eluent voyage. Bust
ness men, of course, would be exempt.

PARIS, Sept. 27.-The literary SEN
sation of the week was the first ap-
pearance on any stage of Madame
Simone, the accomplished actress, so
well known in America, in the char
acter of a dramatic critic.
At the request of The Paris Temps,
a leading evening paper, Madame ST.
none wrote a clear, clever and con-
vincing essay on American theatri-
Gals. 1t was published a few nights
ago and read with intense interest.
Many at first could not persuade
themselves that the actress who once
called in New York GLORIOUS" was
responsible for the article.
In her lucid exposition Of stage
doings and misdoings in America
Nine. Simone had some cruel things
to say about the commercialism Of
some managers, the evils of intrust-

BERLIN, Sept. 27.-The fact that
the American Embassy possesses sew
eral fast tennis players and that the
several attaches are enthusiastic
sportsmen has added much to their
populari.y'in Germany.
Tennis Is especially favored in Ber-
lin and the fact that Ambassador
Gerard is a keen lover of athletics
makes him all the more welcome. The
recent championship tennis matches
in England doomed the popularity of
the game here, and the American EN-
bassy has sustained the power Of the
United States on the courts by play
ing wonderfully fast games against
some of the best racquet wielders

Page has seen them all.
He visited several places in the
heart of Rome, some of them the
cradles of Rome's most aristoeratic
families. But they proved utterly
devoid of the modern comforts that
are to be found in the homes of
Americans Of even moderate means.
Another difficulty arises from the
fact that while a whole palace would

would be by far too small to house

less than year is likely to eIapse
between the marriage ana the di-

The suit also shows the dificuItv
American women find in filling the
part of wives of foreigners. even
where the marriage originally is
based on love. Last year Mrs. Batch
elder, who lived both in New Orleans
and Chicago. where she had many
friends, was the widow Of a wealthy
lumberman. She broke her engage
ment by mutual consent, with Prince
John Sapieha KohensK. brother If
the Archbishop Of Austria, who is
now in the United States. in order
to wed Count Andre Hayoit de Bois
Lucy member of one of the Oldest
and richest families in France.
1t was union of pure affection.
+'A4 81 p'AANll'ANtA1 having rejected the
/ Austrian Prince in order to marry a
French count, could not be regarded
as seeking a title, while the Count
was so little inclined to regard the
monetary side of the marriage that
he entered into a contract providing
for a separation, which under the
French law means that each party
to the marriage retains full posses
sion and control of his or her own
property.
The wedding was celebrated In
Paris on December % and the honey
moon was spent in Cairo. The Fran
cO-American idyl, however, was not
destined to last long. The Countess
soon became convinced that she had
made a mistake. The American
woman's ideal of married life clashod
hopelessly with that of a French no.
bleman. The Counts behavior was
perfectly correct from the French
standpoint, the Countess alleging
neither misconduct nor physical cru
city. Frequent disputes, however,
soon disclosed irreconcilable view
points, and finally the Countess, real
izing that she had entered the wrong
road to happiness, took preliminary
steps for a divorce.
