BARON ALIOTTI's FATHER
WEALTHY MERCHANT.

His promotion to an Ambassador
ship was a foregone conclusion
when it became known that he had
accompanied Premier Giolitti TO the
latters recent meeting with Presi-
dent Millersnd at Aix-les-Bains and
that Giolitti had taken the baron
into his confidence as his diplomatic
expert. But while il was known
that there was about to be a
vacancy in the representation of
hlns Victor Emmanuel III at Wash
inston, the appointment of Baron
Aliotti was not expected and has
created some surprise.
IN Rome the favor shown by the
OLD premier of Italy to the baron is
largely ascribsd to the influence ex-
ercised in his behalf by his half
American wife, who is well remem-
bered in New York as formerly
married to Count Arthur Fabbri-
coti, OF Florence. from whom she IL
divorced.

The President certainly is sitting

more each week. He is apt to do
something really exciting almost any

Then Aliotti was sent to Aylopa
where the proclamation OF Prince
william of Wied as ruler Of AL

great offense TO Italy. He managed
TO win the confidence Of that foolish

Then Aliotti. after a special mis-

extremely well and contributed in
no small measure to the settlement
Of the differences between his own
country and Greece-differences that
at one moment threatened TO inter-

When, after the mutiny Of the

MANN PORTRAYS
THE HYPHENATE
"Friendly Enemies" Position OF
German-American in the
War.

The war is not yet so old that the
emotions reused by Louis Mann in A, ii.
Woods production. "Friendly Enemies,
given at the Grand opera house Satur-
day evening, does not take the audience
back to the days when it was metimes
difficult to place the man who accent was
German. Mr. Mann's portrayal of the
character of Karl Pfeifer, whose hopes
were with the German cause until he be-
leved his own son perished on trans
port as an immediate result Of cash
contribution he had made to the kaiser 5
spy system, gives the American an i'll
sight into the influences that swayei
many men of German birth after the
United States took up arms against the
hun.
The story of the play could easily have
been taken from the experiences in not a
few American homes after the United
States entered the war. Karl Pfeifer Is
hard headed, quick tempered old German.
He quarrels with his friends. But when
the revelation came the fiereeness with
which he had previously espoused the
kaiser was as nothing compared with his
efforts for the land of his adoption.
Mr. Mapn's acting Is splendid, as is
that of Marie Reichardt. as June Block,
and Jess Dandy as her father. Henry
Block Many moons have passed since
a local audience has seen emotional act
ing that could be classed with that of
Mr.. Mann and Miss Reichardt. Mr..
Dandy's lines contain substantial
thread of comedy. and he gets 1t across
to a big hand. Waves of applause
greet the players a dozen times IN each
of the three acts.
The play will be repeated this (Sun-
day. evening at the Grand theater.
