.he Prince to talk about the Amer
lean stage.
There has been a tremendous
development OF the American
stage" he remarked. "But in spite
Of that development do not be-
leve that American talent is en-
outraged enough. AS soon as a play

DO more to encourage the talent

Princes Ancestry From
Long Line of ROyalty

Prince George Bibesco is credited
with abolishing slavery. transforming
Bucharest into Western and civilized
city and cndowing his entire country
with system of roads and highways.
In fact he transformed 1t from an
Oriental into n European State on Oc-
cdental lines. Eventually overthrown
by political ntrigues, he took up his
residence in Paris, where he died In
1873.
The old Hospodar or Prince married
Zoe MavrOcOrdato. the adopted daugh-
ter and sole heiress of he last Prince
of Brancovan. of the house Of Bass

historic families OF Southeastern Eu.

his descendants furnishing no less than
seventeen sOvereigns to that country.
Toward the end Of the six crnth cen.
tury the Bassarabas acquired the do
main Of Brancoveni, and in 1858 were
created Counts of Brancovan, in the
peerage of Hungary, being advanced
five years later by Emperor Leopold
to the dignity of Princes of the Holy
Roman Empire.
The Bibcsros received recognition Of
their Wallachian Ii lc Of Prince by the
Austrian crown prior to the formation
Of the Rumanan monarchy. The Ru-
manian envoy is first cousin of the
present head Of the family.
In the early part of the eighteenth
century the family figured conspicuously
in the wars against the Turks. When
Bucharest fell before a Turkish at
tack, Prince Constantine. then ruler
of Walachia, and four of his five sons
We're carried off to Constantinople.
When they refused to abjure Christian
ity they were strangled.
On the strength of his marriage to
the adopted daughter of the last of the
Bassaraba princes of Brancovan. the
Hospodar, George Bibcsco. assumed tho
name of Brancovan and Bassaraba. In
1850 the Austrian Crown gave formal
| recognition of his Wallachian title Of
Prince.

ability through the Moslem religion to
influence the Moslems of Morocco

ut might be somewhat humorous to
mention," he laughed, that am
strongly feminist. while my wife is
just as strongly anti-feminist.'
Which Is easily understandable, for
the Princess BibcsCO was Miss Eliza
beth Asouith. daughter Of the former
Prime Minister Of England, whom the
sufrragists Of England tried to stampede
into giving votes to women.
Prince BibeSco was attached TO the
Rumanian Legation at Paris when he
was presented to King Edward VII.
His charm of manner, and his sophisti-
cation in the best sense Of that word
won him the friendly interest of the
King. who contrivcd 10 have him trans.
ferrcd to London as secretary of lCga-
tion there.

Prince Won Hand
of Asquith's Daughter

Bibesco's name invariably was in
cluded in the list Of guests at dinners
and house parties arranged for the
King. 1t was while in London that the
Prince met and woocd Miss AsQuith.
They were married April so, 1910, at
st. Margarct's Church, Westminster,
following n ceremony at the Orthodox
Greek Church in London. The Queen
Mother Alexandra and Princess Victoria
were among the many distinguished
guests. King George and Queen Mary
sent gifts of jewelry and many other
gifts were received from the royal
house and from the diplomatic corps.
When the infant daughter of the
Prince and Princess was christened in
July, 1920, Queen Alexandra, the chief
godmother, was represented by the
Duchess Of Portland and sent Il diamond
pendant to the baby princess, The
other sponsors were the Marchioness of

age on the Black Sea. Under the new
order. its neighbor is the o-called in
dependent republic of the Ukraine which
many regard as under the thumb Of
Soviet Russia.
While the Prince was visiting his
estates this summer. his native country
was beginning to redraft her constitu-
ton in order to coordinate the laws
and legal systems Of old Rumanla and
the new provinces. A strong effort Is
being made for the State to acquire
subsoil rights which would include oil
and mineral rights.
Oil is the talisman nowadays in the
art Of high politics and Rumania has
some rich oil fields Of her own. But
Of that Bibesco did not speak.
As for the Turks, the Rumanian
Minister has great sorrow because
they were permitted to return to
Europe. "I grudge them their victory"
he said. Then he ventured a prophecy
without daring to state when its full
fillment will come.
"Constantinople will yet become a
Christian city," he declared. "Peter
the Great wrote in his testament: The
kingdom of the world belongs to the
person who holds Constantinople.

color films. but methods Of showing
the pictures in relief. as it were, will
come in time.
"As for the cinema celebrities, !
suppose my favorite Is Bcbe-Bebe--
oh, yes. Bebe Daniels"
The Prince deserted books and plavs
and films for a time to touch on con.
ditions abroad Us he found them on
his recent visit
"In Northern Europe things are
looking much brighter than they did
a year ago. he stated. AT that time
most of the people were tired, pro-
duction suffered and there. was
shortage of foodstuffs. But the habit
of work is gaining a new hold again.
"As for the general situation In Eu.
rope, there are a certain number OF
outstanding problems which must be
settled, among them the question of
German reparations, the Russian prob.
lem and the relation of Turkey TO
Europe.
"The reparations question will be
settled in time, because 1t so happens
that France and England can now
come to some kind of an agreement,
France did not know what to expect
Of England. but now things are dif-
ferent and 1t Is only a question Of ad-
justing views"
