THEATRES
Strand Attraction

Some people can't do enough for
nm stars, especially if they have the
national popularity of Constance
Talmadge, whose newest Associated
First National photoplay. wedding
Bells" will be seen at the Strand
theatre. commencing today. This
story is of an incident that occurred
in Palm Beach while Connie was
making wedding Bells"
In one scene in the picture Miss
Talmadge is called upon to chase
her little poodle dog. After what
Director Chef Whitley thought to be
sufficient rehearsal, the order for
filming was given and Miss Tall
madge proceeded to dash down the
gravel driveway in pursuit of the
dog.
All would have been well had not
a very kind looking gentleman no.
ticed pretty Connie having a hard
time catching the dog; and appoint
ed himself to aid her. Unaware
that he was running into the scene,
the gentleman made a lunge for the
dog. grabbed him. and in a most
courteous manner offered the poodle
to Miss Talmadge.
Il saved you quite a rum" said
the elderly man, handing over the
dog.
And pretty Connie didn't have the
heart to tell the man that his good
intentions merely meant that she
had to do the run all over again.
In addition to the Palm Beach
scenes. wedding Bells is charac-
terized by a New York locale. A

favorites as Harrison Ford. Emily

Fairbanks Moves to Crescent

The film vision of THE Three
Musketeers" is based not only upon
the famous novel of Alexander Du-
mas. but also upon the memoirs of
D'Artagan himself. In fact, much of
the material upon which the "busi-
ness of the photoplay is built. much
that gives it the human touch, was
found in D'Artagan's memoirs and
not in the novel, although it was
from the Dumas story that the foun-
dation stones for the picture plot
were obtained.
The management of the Crescent
Theatre where this attraction Is
scheduled to open today for a weeks
run, announces that The Three
Musketeers'' will be given the most
elaborate presentation ever accorded
a photofeature by hat house,
There are many reasons which give
authority to the bid for everlasting
fame made on behalf of this photo
play. First of all, the Dumas novel
and the memoirs o. D'Artagan m
body the greatest wealth of filmable
material ever uncovered. Only the
Imagination of a Dumas could devise
the amazing experiences participated
in by those four inseparable COM
'rades, D'Artagan and the Three Mus
keteers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis.
And the part of the dashing D'Artag-
nah is made to order for the indom-
liable Doug.
Add to this fact that the adapta-

for gesturing purposes, through the
medium of the right hand.
Well, as remarked above, the duke
was full of troubles when I first saw
him. He felt that he-was the victim
of rough deal in connection with his
Schleswig-Holstein property. Under the
plebiscite terms all property owned by
the reigning family or by any person
who might be in line for the throne was
slated for confiscation. And the duke
felt that not only was he being treated
unfairly by the Allied powers but de.
clared that he had been tricked by the
Danish government.
His contention was that his estate
came in the category of private prop-
erty owned by private individual and,
inasmuch as it had been announced that
such property would be respected, he
protested vigorously against the pend
ing confscation. I quote his own
words.
II have claimed all along that my
Schleswig-Holstein estate is exempt
from seizure by Denmark" he said
"And my stand is based on the fact that
upon two occasions my family has re-
nounced all claim to the throne of
Schleswig-Holstein, once by reason of a
payment made to the family by the Dan
ish government and later, when the
province became part of Prussia,
through another money consideration
paid by the Prussian government.
'Those acts place all members of the
family in the position of private citi-
zens and we should be treated as such.
Months ago I had prepared a formal
protest to the Allies and would have
sent it forward but for trick to which
the Danish government resorted. When

himself in the right His reputation for
fairness is strong in Germany and
largely due to his attitude toward labor.
On his Silesian estate he employs
more than one thousand men. Eighty
per cent of these own their dwellings
and a piece of land, acquired under a
rent-payment system: Of these small
owners 60 per cent pay no more than
80 marks year for taxes, thus enjoy
ing practically free rent. Inquiries
which I made among the dukes ems
ployees show that he is respected by his
help and regarded as liberal employer.
He told me that there never had been
strikes or evident discomfort among
those who serve him.
In the old days the duke was wont to
travel with a perfect host of retainers
and whole floors at the smartest hotels
of many cities were engaged far in ad-
vance. Now he contents himself with
one secretary and his goings and COM
ings are as transformations as possible.

is wealthy. He makes his home in his

it only on such occasions as business

me to. drop the matter on the promise

Socialists Haue Muzzled
The Kaiser's Sons

Strange as it may seem, less is seen
and heard of the Kaiser's three sons
remaining in Germany than of other
royalty | think I discovered the ex-
planation of this during a protracted
effort to interview Eitel Friedrich. 1t
was explained that while the prince
might not object to expressing his views
on current affairs, he virtually had been
ordered by the Socialist government to
keep his mouth shut. He had been told
that as long as he did SO he would be un-
molested, but that if he started airing
his opinions for publication he would be

kept there.
AS a matter of fact, / do not think
Eitels opinions would be worth much,
anyway. There is nothing keen in his
appearance. A fat, flabby body is
topped off by red, fabby face which
has about the same amount of express
sion as chestnut slab. AS near as / can
make out, his entire repertoire consists
of eating, sleeping, drinking and attend
ing church on Sunday.
Adalbert and Oscar also live in Pots

circle of intimates. Sometimes one or the

day but he does it without the sounding
of trun1pets and without notifying the
Communist leaders of his intentions.
They are wise in avoiding the prole-
tariat as much as possible, because the
Hohenzollern family has been elimi-
mated definitely from German rule. Even
If the country adopted monarchical
form of government the peoples
choice of regent would not fall upon
any member of the late reigning family.
But it is safe to say that, outside of
Prussia, IS per cent of the people wish
nothing more to do with kings and
emperors. The. picture of the Kaiser
slipping over the Dutch frontier, leav.
ing his army in the lurch and avoiding
the subsequent sufferings which Ger
many has undergone while he lived in
comfort, is still fresh in the mind of
the ordinary German.
One day in the winter of 1918-'19
the crowds in Inter den Linden were
startled by the appearance in the mid
Gle OF the street of husky dock worker,
who, waving his hands wildly in the
air, shouted: ''To hell with Kaiser Will
helm; to hell with Kaiser Wilhelm!"
Over and over he repeated his cry until
the thoroughfare became choked with
people, most of whom appeared to be
highly amused.
When finally the police struggled
through the mob the disturber received
them smilingly and explained his ac-
tions thus: IF I had done that six
months ago, would have got five years
for it. But not nowp' And again he

Throughout the war I made it my

prisoners and do what I could to make
their lot easier. [ gave my efforts to
the repatriation commission. I hold no
bitterness for England; am only hurt
at what feel is an injustice. I want

myself of the opportunity"
Albert lives modestly in the Casino
apartments in Pariser Platz, Berlin. He
told me that his allowance from the
duke was small, but sufficient for his
needs. He believes that Wilhelm was
misled by his advisers. He has no faith
in the restoration of monarchy, but
does not feel that the Socialists will be
able to govern Germany for long. He
does not hold with those disgruntled re-
actionaries who refuse to admit defeat
and who are out to make trouble for
the victorious powers. Such a program,

They Are All Present,
But What a Change!

1t must be remembered that they are
all there-ali those princes and dukes
and counts and barons whose names,
before the war, were sprinkled copious-
ly over the journals of many capitals.
In the old days they were received
everywhere. Hostesses We're glad to get
them. They were distinguished, good
takers and made excellent dinner-party
material. Then, too, the names always
looked we'll in the society columns
And now that no mention of them is
seen, even in the fatherland, it is only
natural to wonder what has become of
them and how they are assimilating
the principles of life under democratic
rule
One day, early in 1920, I went with
friend into Pelzer's restaurant, in Neue
Wllhelmstrasse, where one can have un-
censored drinks at uncensored hours
Alongside me at the bar stood a tall,
somewhat dyspeptic-looking individual,
Who obviously took great interest in
our English conversation. It was
friendly interest; one comes to dis
tlnguish the difference after knocking
about Germany a while. And the un-
concealed attention with which he re-
garded us as he slipped his cocktail made
IT clear that he was only slightly hesi-
tant about making verbal advances.
He puzzled me a little. His general
appearance was that of an Englishman.

instead, his face was long and lean,
with that dark ruddiness and fine net
work of veins begotten only of roast
beef and port wine. He draped himself
over the bar like a semicolon and
clutched his stick firmly with all the
mgers Of his left hand, about six inches
below the silver top.
Yet there were about him certain un-
deniable Teutonic characteristics. His
speech was that of German aristocrat,
and when, at times, he forsook the sup
port of the ybar, his manner and car
rage became purely Prussian.

ner cold, crushing and contemptuous.
The look seems to say, "Poor fools! Can't
you see that we are only biding our
tlme?'' They poke fun at the efforts
OF the Socialists to govern the country
and appear to feel that a system more to
their liking is bound to come about in
time.
The morning Berlin capitulated to
Kapp and Ljittwitz brought out droves
OF them. They flocked to every aristo-
cratic gathering place in the city. The
lobby of the Hotel Adlon was full of
handshaking Prussians, wearing happy
smiles and congratulating each other
upon what they believed to be a new
order or step toward reversion to the
old. Lorenz Adlon beamed upon his
visitors in manner beautiful to con-
template.
The republican flags had been re.
placed by the old imperial colors and
scores of brilliant uniforms of the 1914
style could be seen on the streets.
Sabers clanked and heels clicked
smartly. 1t was gala day for the old
gang. Princes and counts and barons
who had felt it wise to lie low for fifteen
months stalked proudly through the
gathering hordes in the principal
streets, and ex-regular officers of the
crack regiments flashed about as but
terfiies in the sun.
In the anteroom of the chancellery,

Prince Reuss, resplendent in his blue
gray uniform. He was laughing and
talking with number of other officers,
similarly bedecked, and seemed to be

sought admission to the sacred pre-
clncts. He greeted me with cordialitv
and effusiveness.

Five days later he barely escaped
with his life through the back door of
the Hotel Bristol, pursued by one of the
supporters of shat rotten Socialist
bunch" armed with an automatic piss
tol.
Prince Reuss has plenty of money,
derived from large land holdings in
South Germany, and most of his time
since 1918 has been spent in the gayest
resorts of Berlin. I constantly ran up
on him in such places as the Palais de
Danse, the Hotsl Adlon and the exclu-
sive haunts with which Kurfiirsten-
damn is lined.
Generally he is accompanied by bea
jeweled women and drinks great guam
titles Of champagne. But. at that. he
always appears bored and ain1less-as
if depressed by the futility of life. In
common with many ex-imperial Off
GERS, Reuss served for a time in the
Noske Guard, not because he sympa-
thized with the government, but because
he Knew that the success of the radicals
would puncture any monarchistic bub-
bic which might be in the blowing. He
was in command of the armored cars
when the Bolsheviki were routed in
Magdeburg and Braunschweig.

Putting or a Uniform.
Still Fascinotes Them

Just before Prince Reuss left the
Noske Guard he invited me to be his
first guest at new apartment which
ne had fitted up near Bayerischerplatz,
and went out for coffee one afternoon.
The place was not large, but splendidly
furnished, one room being given over to
hunting trophies and photographs. A
great number Of the latter had been
framed in the form of panel which
occupied one whole side of the room.
This lot included pictures Of the
Kaiser, Kaiserin, Crown Prince and
Princess and most of the other members
OF the royal family. All were auto
graphed. One picture in which my host
took much pride was that of himself on
horseback, taking six-rneter water
jump, with the Kaiser looking on. Reuss
contemplated it gravely as he slipped his
black coffee. Then his face flashed
with animation and he said ''They were
fine--those days! Weren't they?" He
looked at me eagerly, as if he expected
me to grow enthusiastic about it.
Suddenly he jumped to his feet.
Would you like to see my peace-time
uniform!' he said. Almost before I
had told him yes he was out of the
room. Ten minutes later he ratified into
my presence in perfect blaze of glory.

can journalist, and asked me many
questions about the United States, but
more about what was going on in Lon
don. Our conversation was impersonal
and referred mostly to German. post
war problems. He said nothing about
himself, except that he had spent much
time in England. When he went out he
shook my hand and hoped we would
meet again.
@Do you know who dot feller iss?"
asked the bartender, in English, as my
late companion disappeared.
''No," said. "Who is he?"

in-law of der Kaiser an he got plenty
money. He gif Prinz Albert some, I
tink."
Two days later ran across the prince
in the Hotel Adlon. We had long talk
and he told me much about himself. He
was hungry for news of England, and
told ME of his sadness because he had
been unable to attend the funeral of
his father, Prince Christian He was
planning, he said, to meet his mother
and sisters, Princesses Victoria and
Marie Louise, in Scandinavia, as soon
as it could be arranged.
After that saw him frequently. We
often lunched or dined together and
sometimes he would drop into my office
in Unter den Linden for an hour. He
was anxious to have me meet his uncle,
Ernst Gunther, Duke of Schleswig-Hol-
stein, whose million-dollar estate in
Gravenstein was about to be confiscated
by Denmark under the .plebiscite
terms. So a meeting was arranged at
the Esplanade Hotel and the duke told
me his troubles. But more of that later.
Albert complained one day of the
manner in which the bad bread and lack
of butter were undermining his health.
So I broke the rules and obtained for
him some white bread and butter from
the British canteen. ! never have seen

what was there for me to do but to
take my part in the war as a German
officer? They kicked me out of my Lon
don clubs. Asquith, in the House of
Commons, referred to me as one of tour

But if I had run, away to Switzerland
or another neutral country, as could
have done, nobody would have been
quicker to condemn me than the Eng
