Steamer Captain Reaches Port
lust in Time

Marthe Bonnevie, French, twenty
five and pretty, arrived yesterday on
the Saga from Rio de Janeiro TO marry
Captain Marcus Teftdal, Of the Nor
wegian freighter Wascana. Thereby
hangs the tale Of race between two
steamships from Rio TO New York.
Miss Bonnevie until recently has
been teaching French to large numbers
of Brazilians in Rio de Janeiro, where
she met the car tain. They became en-
gagged. but decided to return to New
York to be married, since Miss Bon
nevie's parents reside here.
The Wascana and the Saga left RIO
the same day, and raced north. When
the Saga arrived yesterday morning
Miss Bonnevie was Informed By imml-
grafton officials that she must be sent
70 Ellis Island. as her hsnce was not OIL
the pier to meet her.
AT the news Of her detention MISS
Bonnevie naturally collapsed in tears,
but in the midst of her woe a LOUD
voice was heard on the dock demanding
her release. l. was none other than
Captain Tcftdal himself. who had come
10 claim his bride, having arrived IN
Philadelphia yesterday evening:
The couple left the pier, TO be mar
ried in the Seamen's Reformed Church
Rrcoklyn.

known as a clever mimic of the actors
of the day.
Nine years after his first engagement
he became manager Of the Haymarket
Theatre, and the name Of "Mr Tree"
began to be recognized in wider cir
clio and for the ability of its owner.
Any part with marked individuality or
the portrayal of n character in the
slightest degree eccentric or pictur-
esquc was the delight Of Mr.. Tree.
His ability in making up has been
the subject of praise, but it was his
ability to throw himself heart and soul
into his part which underlay that gift.
He played Falstaff in "The Merry
Wives of Windsor" for the first time at
the Crystal Palace in 1888, and three
years later scored a still greater sue
cess playing Hamlet at the Haymar-
ket. As Svengali, in "Trilby," in 1898,
a part which he played at various times
for years thereafter, his genius was
acknowledged.
At that time, only seventeen years
after his first professional engagement,
his future was already assured, al
though, as he said later, he was ION
bowling terms with the bankruptcy
court" lie had found himself and the
claimed az the most versatile actor on
the English stage. Smooth rascal,
tragic villain or roaring swashbuckler,
Mr.. Tree could play them all, could be
them all. providing only that it was q
truly arrant rascal, sincere villain
and an utterly abandoned swashbuckler.
Turns to Shakespeare
Had Dickens been a playwright Mr..
Tree might have turned to him; as it
was, he found his types in Shakespeare
and adapted them to his needs, at first
not without some criticism, but later
az an acknowledged genius. His was
live, up-to- theminute Shakespeare,
Shakespeare whose stage pageantry
would doubtless have amazed and
dazzled the author, but which the play
er insisted, and his audiences came 70
believe, was the real Shakespeare seen
through twentieth century glasses.
II was characteristic that Sir Her
bert should come 10 America in 1916
TO help commemorate the Shakespeare
anniversary, and that his first engage
ment should be 70 play Hamlet for the
motion pictures. Later, he participated
in the tercentenary celebration in
New York. having a successful Shakes
pearl6n season at tHe New NIh7IeIualI
Theatre His first visit 20 this country
was with his wife. in 1895, playing in
THE Ballad Monger." John o. Dreams"
and other plays, including some OF
Shakespeare's.
Mr.. Tree relinquished the manage
ment OF the Haymarket Theatre in
1896 to become proprietor of His
Majesty's Theatre. His wife. who be
came an actress after her marriage.
was Maud Holt They had three
daughters.
Sir Herbert held the Order OF St..
J ohn Of Jerusalem and that Of the
Crown of Italy. He belonged 10 the

he played the role OF "Mr. Tree"
As a boy he is said to have yearned
to become gorgeous Prussian hus-
sar, and the legend is credible in view
of his parents nativity and the genius
for pageantry which later burned in
the artist. After the boy had been
graduated from Schnepfeuthal College.
in Germany, however, the businesslike
julius clapped him and his dreams into
his office. mounting the youthful cava-
lier on high stool.
The office with its great ledgers could
contain the spirit of "Mr. Tree" how
ever, no more than could the stool
satisfy his ambitions. From amateur
theatricals he was lured irrisistibly TO
the brighter footlights, making his first
professional appearance in 1878, al
though he played for the love of act
ing at the Dukes Theatre. Holborn, and
in other houses before that. His first
professional engagement was as Colo
mel Challce in alone
At the outset Of his career he was

Sir Herbert Tree.
Actor-Manager,
Dies in London
Foremost Figure Of English
Stage Known and Ad-
mired in u. S.

London, July Sir Herbert Beer
bohm Tree, one of the worlds foremost
actors, died tonight.
Sir Herbert, who had made many
public appearances since his return
from the United States, delivering ad-
dresses describing his experiences in
America, had been i'll for several days.
1t was announced that he had sue
cessfully undergone an operation, and,
according TO latest reports, he vas
making satisfactory progress toward
recovery. His death, announced to-
night, was therefore somewhat unex-
pected.
Sir Herbert had slight accident on
June 16. He slipped while descending
a staircase and strained the lgaments
of his right knee. He underwent an
operation on June 81, which proved TO
be somewhat serious, but was expected
to lead to his complete recovery. The
attending surgeons, however, insisted
upon the cancellation of all Sir Her
bert's engagements, so that he could
enjoy complete seclusion and rest.
End Came Quickly
A friend who visited Sir Herbert
to-day found him, as he described it,
"as we'll as ever" This evening, how
ever. he had heart attack and the end
came very quickly, the famous actor
dying at s o'clock.
Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree, a popu-
lar figure on the stage in London for
nearly forty years, was the best known
in the United States of the English
actor-managers. Sir Herbert appeared
in New York last winter in an adapta-
ton of Thackeray's Colonel New
come" snd returned TO London late in
May. Sir Herbert was the manager of
His Majesty's Theatre, and, as presi-
dent of the Theatrical Managers As
sociation, succeeding the late Sir
Henry Irving in that capacity.
He was born Beerbohm, the son of
julius Beerbohm, a German grain mer-
chant, in London, on December II, 1858.
Tree" was the name he adopted when
he stole away from his fathers ledgers
to participate in amateur theatricals.
The "Sir" was awarded by his sovereign
in 1909. 1t is characteristic of the man
who lived and breathed the innumer-
able parts he played in his long career
that he never forsook the name under
which the youth of seventeen concealed
his identity when he left the dreary
counting room of the grain merchant.
From that moment until his death

Queries About
Checks Confuse
DR.. Parkhurst
Pastor Contradicts Himself
When Asked About
$4,000 Voucher

The Rev. Dr. Charles Fl. Parkhurst.
pastor Of the Madison Avenue Presby-
terrain Church, and vice-president and
director Of the bankrupt American
Candy Manufacturing Company, ap-
peared as a witness yesterday in the
Queens County Court. where william
F. Grinter, secretary and treasurer Of
the candy concern. is being tried for
grand larceny.
During his testimany. Dr.. Parknurs.
became badly confused. and contra
dicted himself several times. He ad-
mitted that he had invested $4,000 IN
the company in the hope Of doubling
his capital.
The specific charge against Grinter al
leges that on September Z, 1915, he &C
cepted and cashed a check for 5000,
which came in with an order, and then
appropriated the money 70 his own
use. He has claimed that he used the
fund TO pay the salaries Of his en-
ployes.
DR.. Parkhurst said that he had signe1
blank checks, as many as sixty at a
Time, anu NGu bAtH Aoi " a. NSN t'O-i
TO Grinter
"There was only one meeting of the
directors" he said. land at that meet
ing a resolution was passed. directing
that the money of the corporation
should be paid out upon checks signe l
by Mr.. Grinter and counterslgned by
me-"
The minister also admitted that he
had written certain letters, which were
introduced into evidence. These were
to stockholders in Franklin, lac, urg-
ing them TO turn their stock in and
exchange it for stock in the American
Candy Manufacturing Company. In
them DR.. Parkhurst asked that the
proxies be turned over TO him, so that
he might 60 ahead with the reorgani-
zation. lie also predicted a brilliant
future for the newly formed company
When three checks signed by the wit
ness were produced DR.. Parkhurst be-
came confused. These bore the date
Of June IL, 1915. One was for $4,000,
made payable to n. A. Brown; one was
for $4,000, made payable to Edward {.
Bodman, the minister's brother-in-law,
and the third was for $4,000 70 the
Second National Bank.
At first DR.. Parkhurst admitted that
he had filled in the amounts and coun-
tersigned the checks on the margin.
Then he denied that he had filed in
the amounts. Then he denied that he
had sent the checks to Grinter to sign
and that he had refused to sign them.
DR.. Parkhurst was then shown let
ter which he had written 70 Mr.. Brown.
1t began: 81 was disappointed and sur
prised ct your action in influencing Mr.
Grinter not to sign those two checks.
Eight thousand dollars of that amount
| wanted in order TO pay to my brother
in-law the amount | borrowed from
him four weeks ago.
lie then said that ne had lot sent the
checks to Grinter. but had sent them 10
Brown and asked him to get Grinter to
sign them.
