Wilfrid Douthitt, late star Of THE
Lilac Domino" lie English, smooth
shaver and barytone; also, II we are
TO believe letter written by him sew
eral months ago to Andreas Dippel, be
must now he fghting bravely for king
and country on the plains Of Flanders.
Monsieur Louis Graveure is likewise
a barytone, but unlike Nr. Douthitt, he
is not fighting in Flanders, though
Flanders is his native land. Monsieur
Graveure Is a Belgian, and wears a
long and very Gallo beard otherwise
in face, figure, bearing and voice he
is practically indistinguishable from
Mr.. Douthitt.
But as Mr. Douthitt Is at present
fighting In Flanders, and is English,
and wears no beard. he, of course. could
not be Monsieur Graveure. Moreover.
Monsieur Graveure himself states that
he is not Mr.. Douthitt Monsieur
Graveure is TO give a song recital IN
Aeolian Hall on October 90, while Mr..
Douthitt-for he himself has written
II to Mr.. Dippel-is fighting in Elan
ders.
Those who attended q performance
Of Andreas Dippel's production of THE
Lilac Domino" last year at the Forty
fourth Street Theatre remember well
Mr.. Douthitt. whose fine voice and re-
msrkable breath control were for \
time the talk of Broadway.
Mr.. Douthitt was born in London in
1888. and odd 10 say, he. too. is of Bel
IL arsfv a
we'll known opera singer in Brussels.
He was engaged by Mr.. DIPPED after
Mr. DIPPED had heard him sing at
Drury Lane.
Caused a Sensation Here.
He made his American debut last
wear as Count Andre de st. Armand, in
"The Lilac Domino" and at once caused
n sensation, both by the quality of his
voice and his ability 10 sing hfty-hve
seconds on one breath. In fact, he be-
came Broadway's champion long dis
tance singer. 81,
Mr. Douthitt left "The Lilac Domino
company last spring and 2 few weeks
later Mr. Dippel received a letter from
him, written in the Canadian North
west. in which he said he was about TO
ioin the British army to fight for his
country This was the last any one in
America heard from Mr.. Douthitt
Now enters Monsieur Louis Ora
veure.
Monsieur Graveure arrived in New
York about three weeks ago. He came
from Canada. Two days later two
members of "The Lilac Domino" COM
pany met him on Broadway.
"Iow do you do. Mr.. Douthitt?" they
said.
Monsieur Graveure turned upon them
a stony glance
