ny MAY BIRKHEAD.
DEAUvILLE, Aug. 21.
HERE is talent among the
painters and sculptors to be
= noted in Deauville this sum-
mer. Orpen, the British painter, is
doing potraits Of MIR. Otto H. Kahn
and his daughter. Miss Margaret Kahn.
He passes the greater part Of his day
at Mr.. Kahn's villa working on the
two potraits and is often seen at night
sketching types at the Casino tables.
Then there are Paul Helleu. the
French artist, who also is noticed at
the Casino sketching types. and Bel
tram, the Spanish artist, who has
painted the portraits Of several Ameri-
can women, among them Mrs. Cooper
Hewitt and Mrs. James Hazen Hyde.
And there is Mr.. William S. Horton.
the American landscape painter. who
is preparing for an exhibition next
winter.
Prince Pierre Troubetzkoy, the
sculptor, is noticed at the polo games
every afternoon, as he is doing a
bronze group Of polo ponies. He is ex-
hibiting several works at the Casino.
Among them is a small bronze Of Car
pentier. Mrs. Leslie Cotton, the Amer
lean portrait painter. who has recently
completed the portrait Of Prince Chris
topher Of Greece. has been here for a
few days rest.
There are several American women
who have married European titles who
have villas here and expect to remain
late after the rush Of the season is over.
The Duchess Of Torlonia. who was Miss
Elsie Moore, has villa at Houlgate.
She and her husband and two children
motor over to Deauville every day for
the races and often are seen at the
dinner dances at the Casino.
The Marquise de Polignac. who was
Mrs. James b. Eustis has villa here.
She and the Marquis are often seen at
the polo games. The Prince and Prin-
cess BassIano have q villa near Deau-
Vile. She was Miss Marguerite Clarke.
Dinners at Casino.
The Crown Prince of Kapurthala and
the little Princess. who is popular wher-
ever she goes, do much in the way OF
entertaining. They give dinner at the
Casino every night and there are usually
several Americans among their guests.
Last night they entertained Mrs. w.
B. Phillips and Mrs Marburg. The Ma
harajah Of Kapurthala and his former
Spanish wife. who recently were d.
vorced. are much missed this season.
They were prominent in Deauville So
ciety last year and inquiry is often
made about them. The MaharaJah is In
Carlsbad and the former Maharanee is
In Evian since her divorce.
NJ. Henri Letellier. the French pub
Usher, frequently entertains at the Ca
sino. Last night he gave dinner for a
group of French and American actresses.
Miss Peggy Hopkins Joyce. whose di-
vorce suit seems to be as much talked
about here as In New York. was among
them. Miss Lillian Walker. the Ameri-
can movie star. was there. and also WILL
lam Farnum. Then there were Miss
Shirley Kellogg and Mistinguette. tho
French actress, and George Middleton.
the American playwright.
Speaking Of movie stars. Lady Diana
Manners is attracting no small amount
of attention for her beauty and pretty
dresses. She is on the beach every
morning and at the tables every night
with her husband. Mr.. Duff Cooper.
During the month of July and the first
half OF August the one criticism Of Deau-
Vile was that the life had become tame
and there was a decided lack Of anima-
tion. The visitors were numerous enough
but there was no getting around the fact
that the spirit of La PLACE Fleurie'
was not what It once was.
Tho visitors, however, were patient,
| for they we're promised that Deauville
would be itself again for the "grande
| semaine." II one dared offer q COM
plant or even remarked upon the lack
OF spirit, the response was that the
| "grande semaine would remedy every
thing and there would be animation
and gaiety to spare.
| The "grande semaine" has come and
gone. and the general consensus Of opin-
| ion Is that II was as much of bore
as the former part of the season. No one
| seems to have the courage to come right
| out pat" and say the word but all look
| the part, and the actual facts prove
what the visitors have been shy about
| saying. At the big game. at the table
where only men are permitted TO play
| for an enormous minimum, the doors
were closed twice during the week as
| early as o'clock because the big play
ers were not numerous enough to make
| II interesting, and those who did play
were placing very small and guarded
| bets.
| There have been no big bancos and no
| rich Cubans to win four million francs
In one evening. such as there were last
year. There have been Cubans and
and Cubans. and they have been very
attentive to the ladies, and those same
ladies' have been wearing Jewels and
Jewels, but one only has to recall the
sugar story to know that since the
ladies must wear jewels the Cubans cam
not sit at the tables and run the risk
OF losing any more.
Lose and Win Fortunes.
Every season there IL at least one
wealthy mar In Dcauville around whom
interest centres. He either loses or wins
great fortunes he Is the star client OF
