Forbes-Robertson's Tribute
Sir Johnston Says. Americans
Made 1t Possible to Retire

Sir Johnston Forbes Re- ODE rtson gave
the last of three lectures on Shake
speare's plays at the Broadhurst Thea
ter yesterday afternoon. The occasion
was less a lecture, however, than an
opportunity to hear one of the few
truly great actors now living in scenes
from plays with which his personality
has long been associated.
Sir Johnston prefaced his readings
from the three plays of the afternoon
"King Lear" "Othello" and Macbeth"
with a brief reference to the English
historical dramas, king john" "Rich-
choosing for his reading Buckingham s
farewell, from Henry VII"
Speaking of King Lear" he said
that there is more action in the first
act Of this tragedy than in any other
plays of Shakespeare theatre. He
also called attention to the fact that
this play contains more prose than any
of the other dramas. He sees a certain
resemblance in the characters Of Ham
let and Macbeth. Both are hesitant,
dreamcrs, poets; both seek confrma-
ton of supernatural warnings. Both
tragedies, too, are related by the same
poetic intensity.
He was generous with readings from
tragedies. These included King Lear s
reconciliation with Cordclia, Othello's s
last words, the dagger and murder
scenes from "Macbeth," Macbeth's last
speech and the dying words of Hamlet.
The poetry and fire of Sir Johnston s
eloquence rose sereney above the alb
sence of scenery and costumes, conjur-
ing up vivid memories of other days
when he himself had been the leading
figure of the plays now the subject OF
discussion.
At the close Of the afternoon some
one in the audience called for three
cheers for Sir Johnston. He replied by
admitting that it is entirely due to the
American theatergoRg public that he is
now able to care for his family at home
and retire from the stage.

new turn was given to the "phan
tom lover" mystery of Brooklyn last
night when Adolph Hoffman,, real
estate agent of Medford, L. l., said he
believed the mysterious DR.. H. William
Hoffman,, who was to have been
married on Tuesday to Miss Sophie
Loderhose, 1447 Dean Street, Brooklyn,
had been impersonating a cousin of
his residing in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Hoffman, said he had never seen
his cousin, but he knew that the elder
Mr.. Hoffman, came to America from
Germany about forty-five years ago
and settled in California, and that
there was son who would be between
thirty and forty years of age and who
was practising medicine.
There is no doubt in my mind that
some rascal assumed my cousins
name in order to hide his real idntity,"
Mr.. Hoffman declared. "Of course, I
can only conjecture why an adventurer
should have borrowed my cousins
name and used it to WOO a girl, but it
is evident that his motives would not
bear investigation. This man, who
ever he may be, must have known the
real DR.. Hoffman, and probably bore
some resemblance to him. ! am con-
vinced that Miss Loderhose was the
innocent victim of an adventurer's
duplicity, but l am equally convinced
that my cousin was not the man who
wooed her. If he had come East I
would have been informed of 1t and 1
would surely have heard from mem
bers Of my family had he been killed
in an automobile accident"
Doesn't Know Counsin's Address
Mr.. Hoffman, is unable to wire West
for further information because he does
not know the address Of his cousin.
The children Of Dean Street. Brook
lyn, are showing as lively an interest
in the "phantom love" affair as their
elders. Yesterday afternoon they gath
cred in excited groups when a striped
awning appeared two doors away from
1447 Dean Street. They spread the
tldings that the wedding was coming
off, although one day late. and that the
procrastinating bridegroom had at last
turned up. But the children soon
learned to their disappointment that it
was some one else's wedding.
Miss Loderhose is moving from the
Dean Street house. W. P. Phillips, her
brotherin-law, began taking away the

New Haven, May Hotel Shore ham. at Morris Cove, in former years well known as the Pequot House and 4he first rendezvous of the New York Yacht club on it's annual cruise from Huntington.

AND DIRT
 IN BROWN SUGAR

On the ground that beans, excelsior and dirt were mixed with the brown sugar, the Bridgeport Paper Co. re- fused to pay for a consignment of the sweet stuff which was purchased from Ja.burg Bros. of New York during the sugar shortage in 1918. The New York firm sued for sS,OOO damages and the trial of the suit against the Paper Go. was held yesterday afternoon in the Superior court before Judge Curtis
 It is claimed that 10000 pounds of sugar were purchased with the under standing that it was of first grade. Instead of that the article delivered proved to be of poor quality. Attor- ney Frederick E. Morgan. represent ing the Paper Co, declared the sugar was so hard that it was necessary to ,,se q. nauet to crack it and that res tauraut owners, who had been de- pendea upon as purchasers. refused fo buy 1t. Judge Curtis reserved de- cizion iu the case.

RAISED VALUES TO
 HELP BOND ISSUE
Charge Made By Alderman Cornell In Court
 Appeal.

That a. fictitious value was given to property by the tax commissioner in order that the city Of Bridgeport might have more security for a con templated bond issue, was the charge made by Attorney John A. Cornell, Jr.. who appealed to the Superior court today from tax assessments put on realty owned by the Gallagher Building Co.
 The company valued the piece at 257 Courtland street at $14, ,0O0 and the city raised the figures to SIS, 400. The parcels at 260 and 250 Washing ton avenue were listed at $4,o00 each by the company. but the city claimed the former piece was worth sS,70O and the latter $9,442.
 Another appeal from taxation filed today was taken by Lily Thorpe and Theresa Ober1y, executrices on the Theresa, N1oIl estate. They listed a 50 acre tract on Madison avenue at $7,50O and the city increased it to s41,4OO A six acre tract at Madison and Lincoln avenues which the execu- trices listed at s2,9oo, was raised to S9,0O0 by the city.
