reading Of "Odi Barbara by Car

volume of poetry, published under
the title Of Primo We're. For
time the critics weren't sure whether
he was a naughty boy who ought
to be spanked and sens home or
regular poet who deserved encour-

v eds the Daughter.

D'Annunzio began his career as
a Don Juan by making violent love
TO a dignified duchess Of the most
distinguished lineage. Carrying the
affair through with the dash of
youth, he arrived at the point where
it appeared certain the great lady
would succunlb to his charms.
And then he turned abruptly aside
and married the duchess's young
daughter.
But for genius Of d'Annunzio's
caliber marriage was only a tenn
porary arrangement, although he
went about it with apparent serious
ness of purpose. He left Rome be-
hind and settled down in the coun-
try, in his favorite province of
Chieti, to lead the simple life. He
surprised few of his friends by APP
pearing in the city again after
a brici lapse Of time without his
wife.
Soon he became cntanglcd in 4
vivid romance with Eleanora nusc,
the we'll known Continental actress.
While there have been many who
have attempted to Justify the poet
behavior in this affair, he general
verdict is that Dusc wa sadly mis-
troatcd
Duse devoted herself to d'Annun-
zio, appearing exclusively in his
plays at the expense Of her own adj
vancemcnt. She was hardly suited
to the exotic and torrid pieces which
her lover was producing, yet she in
sisted on sacrificing her talents TO
be tfc mcclure through which he
might express himself on the stage.

Basis of His Fame

His fame rests solidly on literary
productions that have been the mar
vel Of the day. As lyric poet, nov
elist, dramatist, he stands out bril-
liantly as the leading figure of mod
err Italy. None of his contempo
raries has even approached his rank.
a a politician, soldier, aviator,
dictator, his escapades have kept
him continually before the gaze Of
She entire world. In private life, as
al interchangeable Don Juan, his ca
reer has been more spectacular than
creditable. no estimate Of the man
could attempt justice without view
ing in perspective the curious blend
ing Of these separate and distinct
phases Of his makeup.
Even his birth is shrouded in 4
maze Of mystery, and d'Annunzio
never has assisted biographer
IN uncovering any Of the facts.
The consensus OF opinion seems to
be that he was born on the bark
Irene in the Adriatic, near the town
of Pescara, in 1862. From this point
on nothing is heard Of him until ne
appeared as student at the College
Of Prsto, n Tuscany.
When he was only sixteen wears
old he astonished himself by dis
covering that he was poet. At
least, Continental critics discovered

BETRAYED Her Confidence

D'Annunzio showed his apprecia-
ton Of all She had given him by
not only abandoning her completely.
but by betraying her shamefuIly to
the public. l. seems that Signora
Duse had confided certain hidden
facts Of her youth, an intimate story
that should have gone 30 further
than a lovers ears. It is generally
believed that d'Annunzio revealed
The whole story in his Ii Fuoco.
The effect upon the actress was to
make her desperately Ill, and for
long time it was believed she would
die.
Dusc apparently disappeared from
his life, although it was rumored
that she went to his side when he
was injured in an airplane accident
during the way and reported 10 he
dying.
Bad luck followed d'Annunzio for
some years after his abandonment
Of the actress. EIis work did not
prosper and his plays LOST their
carly popularity. The critics hound
ed him on all sides. Finally ne was
forced to leave Italy to escape from
bis creditors. His beautiful villa
near Florence was sold at public auc-
ton and all his art treasures sacri-
feed.
He next flashed INTO prominence in
Paris. Inspired by Ida Rubinstcin,
the Russian dancer. ne began a
series of dramas that caused sensa-
tion after sensation. One of Them
"The Martyrdom OF ST. Sebastian"
came under the papal ban. But
d'Annunzio was accustomed to con-
tlict with the authorities Earlier
in his career. his tragedy, "Fran-
cesca da Rimini" in which Signora
Duse played the part Of Francesca.
had been prohibited by the Italian
government on the ground Of imuo-
raiity.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-01-09

But for those familiar with the
career Of the great Italian the pass
ing Of the Fiume phase of his life
will be set down as a thrilling mo-
ment. Released from the cares Of
professional dictator, d'Annunzio
may now turn his spare time to ac-
count and produce new sensations to
fill the headlines Once under way,
he never fails.
France, Ireland and America have
all been mentioned as the locale of
his next efforts. 1t is foolish to spec
ulate. Nothing is too bizarre for
him to attempt and, properly speak
ing, nothing is unlikely.
D'Annunzio admits frankly that
he lives only for thrills and excite
ment. He could never sit back and
endure the monotony Of being plain,
ordinary citizen. At various times
during his life he has threatened to
kill himself unless things picked up
and began to happen. But so far
ne has never been called upon 20
make good his promises. Something
has always happened.
Living constantly in the superla
tive degree, wallowing in extrava-
CANT emotions, never restful, over
shadowing all who come within his
range, d'Annunzio has achieved
enormous fame and unprecedented
notoriety without seeming to stir
from the ordinary course OF his daily
routine. Nor has he, as so frequent
" develops with great names, con-
fused his notoriety with his fame.

rspect to her recent associates, he
has been shown in this German
episode and In the several dis
cussions which have folIowd be-
tween himself and our statesmen,
that while the United States pur-
poses to pursue an American pol
Icy TO an American end. this policy
has in IL nothing of hostility or
lack of sympathy with France, OF
with Great Britain and Italy. II
does not include the smallest in
tention to give aid or comfort to
the former enemy. much less TO
encourage that enemy TO resist
payments which are recognized In
Washington as in Paris to be due
legally and morally.
As to the question of separate
peace through the Knox resolution,
here the future Is far from clear.
II Is plain that Mr.. Hughes has,
without In the least objecting to
the Knox resolution. asked through
the President that the Senate con-
sent to q more or less considerable
delay In pressing the Knox resolu-
ton to passage. that time may be
given to formulate q general poll
cy with respect to Europe. This
does not mean that the Knox reso-
luton will be abandoned. IL does
not now forecast new battle
between the Executive and the
Senate At the moment IL means
exactly what IL says, that the
State Department, Mr.. Hughes, is
not yet ready TO act. that he wants
q whole policy formulated before
any action is taken.
That the Knox resolution may
in the end prove to be an impor-
tant circumstance in our policy re-
mains not only possible. but prob
able. for the moment the Secre-
tary OF State has counseled delay,
the President has supported him, and
delay will follow.
This does not represent a vic
tory for Viviani. just as the pas
sage Of the Knox resolution would
not imply defeat. NJ. viviani ia
far too wise to undertake to in
nuence American policy; his mis-.
sion is rather to determine at FIRST
hand what is American policy and
to explain what are the vital in.
terests OF his own country. And
he has discovered that the United
States Is still determined to dc
nothing to aid a recent enemy
against a permanent friend.
One dificulty in assessing the ex.
isting situation arises from the sur.
vival of the old atmosphere OF bat.
