over anything seen here in Teutonic
films, which have generally appeared
hitherto to have been illuminated by
something like the gasoline flares seen
in circuses. The directing was done by
an Austrian. Count Kolraatt. which Is
one more instance OF continental nobil-
ity who has> turned TO the movies as
means of earning a living without
having to take off ones coat to do so.
The settings were provided by the
castle and grounds on the Counts own
estate in Austria. as we'll as by various
historical edifices which the Austrian
Government is lending to film producers
with the double idea of developing their
movie companies and turning an honest
penny-or. II you prefer, several hun
dred honest kronen. The picture has
been about a year In reaching Broad
way since II reached these shores. and
was produced about a year before that.
but II is understood that scarcely
change was found necessary in this
tale OF the period of Henry VIII. OF
England to bring It down TO date.
The Count Is the producer Of several
other pictures, including ono called
"The Love Slave" and when one OF
these. a modern society picture was
shown in New York some time ago
none OlneT tnhH tne count HlIflheIL was
on hand to watch the concusson II
made. One OF the spectators suggested
that II would be a good Idea for him
to get American tailors catalogues and
send them to Austria to his costumers
so they could avoid the flaring trousers
and the dress coats OF the supposedly
snappy dressers that looked as " he
had hired his extras from the waters
union.
The Count took the suggestion In good
part and said he would send the cata-
logues with an idea Of getting clothes
for his players that wouldn't cause
American patrons to wonder what fra
ternal order was holding its annual
ball In full regalia. Perhaps this may
lead TO vital reform In the costumng
OF modern Continental pictures, and we
may yet see a hero who won't look az
IL he came by his clothes through the
generosity OF a deceased grandfather.

Killing Four Womsn-suspected

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July t,-Germany's no
torious biuebeard. Karl Crossmann.
committed suicide In his cell by hang
ing yesterday shortly before he was
to be taken to the criminal court.
where he was undergoing trial for
murder. He had admitted his guilt
in the case of four women. but was
suspected of numbering twenty, who
either mysteriously GdsAppeAred or
were found horribly mutilated.
Alienists described GrossmAnn as
one OF the strongest pathological
mysteries known to criminology, Most
of his victims were lone women whom
he seised In the woods in the suburbs
of Berlin and dragged to his hermit
abode, where he maltreated them.
