RUPPRECHT FAILED
TO STEAL GALLERY

BRUSSELS. Belgium, Mar.29-
Rupprecht of Bulgaria is fond of ART
but decided not to add one COL
lection to his galleries.
Primo, Franz, brother of Rupprecht,
was uuartered at Renaix. A famous
old mansion was the home of a former
burgomaster,, and in its galleries were
choice Rembrandts, Woenix, Vano-
stades, Brouwers and Teniers.
Franz appeared one day with a staff
officer and asked to inspect the pic
ture gallery. He admired the collec-
ton and telephoned to Tournai for
Rupperecht, who arrived in a big car
and after a naughty survey said to the
old burgomaster:
"Sir, you must not take away any
of the pictures, more especially those
which 1 have admired and counted
The old burgomaster coolly replied;
'Your highness may rest assured; If
I should take away any of my pictures
it would quickly be noticed after the
war by American connoisseurs, who
are in possession of a complete cata-
logue of the collection, printed in
1913, of which 1 would ask your high
ness to accept a copy from your hum
BILE servant as a souvenir of your
visit
Rupprecht never took the pictures.

SuirituaIistic Influence
Said to Hover Over Lay
Which Wins Big Success

NEW YORK, Mar. 29-Spiritua1itts
in England and America are watching
with keen interest the extraordinary
and unique demonstration of spiritual
istic influences which are said to have
been responsible for the success of the
play, ''The Invisible F'oe."' now play
ing at the Harris Theatre here. Here
ward Darlington, a well-known Amer
lean psychic research authority. is
among those who maintain that ''The
Invisible Foe" is being supported by
the spirits.
The play. which has also been pro-
duced in London. concerns informa-
ton transmitted by the spirit of a
dead man for the unravelling of a
crime committed before his death. He
reached New York practically every
theatrical dramatic critic condemned
it in unmeasured terms. The critics
were almost a unit in declaring that
the play was uninteresting, crudely
constructed, and wholly improbable.
They said, further, that the playwright
had used ancient and melodramatic
incidents and was talking through
his hat Ordinarily, this should have
put a damper on the production. But
such was not the case.
In spite of the critics the play pick
ed up steadily and quickly became one
of the greatest successes of the year.
Spiritualists, in explaining this, said
that the throngs were drawn to the
friends and relatives. One of the odd
features in connection with the plays
successful run was the patronage be-
slowed by returning soldiers and sal
lors. Along Broadway 1t is a general
ly recognized fact that this is practi-
calIy the only play that the fighting
men are paving money to see.
When the subject was mentioned to
BARLEY Gushing. the famous Amer
lean producer who staged "The 1nvisi-
BILE Foe" he declared that there was
no doubt in his mind as to the influ-
ence shovering over the play. Even
while the play was in rehearsal, he
said. the spiritualstic power was in
operation.
