STRAND

Performances today conclude the engagement, at Warmers Strand theater,, of Wake Up And Live" and "Song Of The City," current feature attractions.
 Tomorrow's new show will include "When Love Is Young" a sprightly romantic comedy with Virginia Bruce and Kent Taylor.
 The picture blends the pathos of a deeply human experience with tLe brilliance of Broadway's laughter and song.
 In "When Love Is Young" Miss Bruce sings and dances to tunes es- pecially written for her by Jimmy McHugh and Harold Adamson.
 The picture, based on Mccall Magazine story, Glass Prophecy" deals with an obscure country girl who, snubbed by classmates and !g- norcd by the school hero she admires, accompanies her uncle to New York to study singing.
 There she meets a theatrical press agent whose exploits, for all their hilarity, land her in jar, but event. ually help her to musical comedy stardom. Returning to her home town she is disappointed ill finding that the school hero she had looked forward to meeting again is merely a small town failure.
 Kent Taylor is the nimble-witted press agent and Walter Brennan brings an entirely new character to the screen in his humorous role as the uncle who operates a sidewalk telescope in New York.
 In addition to singing two hit songs, "When Love Is Young" and "Did Anyone Ever Tell You?" Miss Bruce dances for the first time on

BY MORRIS GILBERT NEA Service Staff Writer

The young nephew of the great Napoleon was in ex- ile. He considered himself the pretender to his uncle's im- perial throne. Twice he had attempted a coup d'etat against the established gov ernment of France. Each att tempt had ended in ludicrous failure.
 Established in London, in 1846, Louis Napoleon was rather a comic figure. He was always that, in fact, even in the days of his glittering triumph later. Nothing he accom- plished ever succeeded in destroy ing the faint, malodorous taint of the phoney. Perhaps it was on &C., count of his legs, which were much too short. Atop a horse, Louis Ma poleon made a distinguished ap- pearance. Afoot, he was ridiculous. Or maybe it was on account of his face, a masterpiece in dead-pan- nery.
 Try as he might, he could not convince Londoners in general that he was going to be Emperor of France some day. He got little sup- port for his idea that his third

STATE

Among the ever-forgotten char acters of present-day magazine fic- tion is that picturesque old chap called Cappy Kicks. who owns steamships and operates them out of San Francisco to all parts of the world. He was created by the pop ular novelist, Peter B. Kyne, and has been kept alive now for good many years.
 In more intimate fashion old Cappy now comes before the pulp lie again-almost in real life. He's in a movie-the production entitled 'The Go Getter," which begins four day engagement at Warner Bros. cool, comfort State theater today.
 Cappy is portrayed by Charles Winninger, whom you'll remem- Der as Cap'n Andy in the stage play, then the movie called Show Boat"
 Yet Winninger isn't the go getter. George Brent, handsome 6-foot Irish actor has that role and is co-starred with the slender, picturesque, wrath like beauty, Anita Louise.

MARRIAGES SHOW SMALL INCREASE
Births Decrease AccOrd= ing to Statistics for
 First Three Months

Marriages and deaths increased, births decreased, although the death rate based upon adjusted population statistics actually showed a decrease during the first quarter of 1887, according to vital statis- tics on the first three months of the year compiled by the state de- pertinent of health.
 Births number 5,196 ran slightly ahead of the deaths totaling 5,156 as compared with 5,535 births and 5,144 deaths in the corresponding months of 1886. The birth rate was 11:8 and the death rate 11.7 per 1000 of population, both dropping below 1883 figures.
 Weddings Gai n Despite the early Lenten season which brought Easter Sunday on March 28, marriages increased from TAB in the first quarter of 1886 to 886 in January, February and March, 1887, the marriage rate rising from IT to 20 per 1000 pop ulation. The increase in marriages proves the departments prediction that the decline which took place following the inauguration of the new marriage law on January l, 1886, would be overcome as soon as people began to appreciate the value of the required blood test in the preservation of the health of future generations.
 For the month of March, the death rate was 11.3 per 1000 pop ulation, this was the lowest rate to appear for that month in the last six years and it augurs well for mortality figures for the balance of the year.
 Heart Disease
 During the first quarter, diseases of the heart continued to top the list of the causes of death with l. 148 victims, a decrease of A from the 1936 total. Cancer took the next largest toll with 328 deaths, 8 decrease of 12. Nephritis was third with 401, decline of A, and To- bar pneumonia came next with 352 victims, reduction of two. There were no deaths from infantile paralysis, and only two for typhoid fever and epidemic encephalitis. All formc of tuberculosis showed de- crease in mortality. Biggest increase in deaths was due to influenza which took a toll of 154 lives, 61 more than in the corresponding months of 1886.

Fritzi's Famous
 Cottage Passes Into New Hands
Famous Star of Victor Herbert's Musical Plays
 Not Coming Back"

Fritzi Scheff's picturesque property at Lake Hitchcock is not to be taken over by the Home Owners Loan Corpora tion, who recently instituted superior court proceedings toward that goal. The action was today withdrawn, and it was reported that the prop erty would be taken over by its present possessor, Jere- miah SquireS.
 As far as the property is con- cerned, Fritzi Scheff, now perform ing at intervals in New York, has no interest or ownership whatso- ever. During the preliminaries of the HOLC court action, permission was given to cite her in as additional defendant in the action, but this was never done.
 It was reported at the time of the entrance of the suit that Fritzi, the star of Victor Herbert's Mile. Modiste" would have to return here and testify, but this never mater ialized.
 Others than Squires who had in- terests in the land and buildings are Rose Preslopsky and Helen R. Leary. The foreclosure action was based on an unpaid note executed by Fritzi Scheff, March 31, 1884, with the property as security. Off, cials of the HOLC stated that Squires could take absolute possess sion of the tract by paying off the mortgage and clearing up the back taxes,

 Elisabeth lived first at the Hotel Meurice. Her apartments there be- came headquarters for the group which was planning "putsch" to make Louis Napoleon emperor. La- ter, she moved to a house in the rue du Cirque, just around the cor ner from the Elysee Palace. This was after Louis Napoleon was pres- ident. Late most every afternoon, passers-by could perceive him leave the garden gate of the presidential palace in the Avenue Gabriel, and Saunter around to Miss Towards. A year later, Louis Napoleon was Emperor Napoleon III. His des- tiny was fulfilled, thanks to the help of a Thames barmaid. REIMBURSED HER
 GENEROUSLY FOR BACKING
 It seemed to Elisabeth Howard that all was well. Once installed as president, Napoleon began pay ing back his debts to her with in- terest. AS emperor. he was even more lavish. A million francs in money in single month approx imately 0,000-wiped out a big slice of the principal. Almost an- other million in jewelry helped. The Beauregard estate which he bought her when he made her a countess cost two million francs, $80,000.
 The emperor was devoted and moderately - faithful. Elisabeth, knowing him so well, could hard- ly expect more. She was at the peak of her success. The notion began to dawn that. perhaps, some thing even more spectacular. more

magnificent than hitherto imaRin- 1. able, might be written in her des- tiny. But she was wrong.
 Presently, she began to hear that. Napoleon, for dynastic reasons, was contemplating royal marriage. To- wed some European princess would go far to cement his throne.
 Putting aside the notion of be- ing empress herself, Elisabeth be- came fairly philosophical about a. regal marriage. Such a match would surely not be love match. After a little while, Louis Napo- leon would come back to her. With some complacency, she watched events. She would still, she felt assured, be maitresse en titre.
 But European princesses- and their parents-were cold. Not one would venture to gamble on this upstart ruler. Suspect, shaky, he offered no security. There was no belief the new regime would last. It would probably topple. Europe thought, even more quickly than the First Empire had done.
 Irritated, piqued, Napoleon gave up the quest. And at that moment a vastly shrewder blow fell upon the beautiful Miss Howard; for Napoleon III fell in love-ar1d with a commoner!
 A royal marriage she could have accepted. But, if Napoleon were go- ing to marry somebody like Made miselle de Montijo, that was too much! But it happened-with great assembly of prelates and mo- bles in Notre Dame (not so great, by the way, as the emperor would have wished, since the old French aristocracy still scorned him as an l upstart, and his match with Ma demoiselle Eugenie was heartily dis approved as meaningless.
 However, 1t was fatal to Elisa beth Howard, whose charms were slightly fading, and who, with van- ishing power, was growing more ex- igent. She began to haunt the places where Napoleon and his em- press were to be. Her spies told her when they were driving in the Bois, and she would drive, too, very handsome behind her high-stepping bays. She frequented the opera on nights when the imperial court att tended, taking, with very bad taste, the box opposite the royal family's. It was the end. The idyll was over. Napoleon, no longer an ex- ile, had no longer the need of Elisa beth Howard which he once had felt. She was persuaded to retire to her country place. Her allow ance, however, was still generous. i State papers, discovered after Ma poleon lost his throne, revealed that he had paid her five million francs in cash before his marriage.
 Elisabeth Howard presently mar- ried in Florence. Her husband was a member of an old English fam- fly. She was Al. Her beauty and seductiveness had not entirely van-
 ished. But she had lived through
 her hour of greatness, and she
 presently died.

beth quite unique personality. She was "just the type to attract cus- toner's" Charles Kingston relates, but pretty soon it became obvious that she was too good for "pub."
 A mercenary minded young rake, with some noble connections, con- vinced her of this. His plan was to start a gambling hell in the heart of London's elegant West End. He wanted Elisabeth as a come-on and as a consolation for the losers (for Jack Fitzroy had made precise arrangements for having plenty of losers). There

isn't young man in London with money who would not cheerfully lose fortune provided you were in the same room," he told her.
 Fitzroy's prophecy came tri- umphantly true. By the time he was exposed as a cheat, Elisabeth had made the acquaintance of all the young bloods in the metropolis. had won the title of Queen of London" become the pre-eminent light lady of the town. A major in Her Majestys Life Guards es- tablished her in a dwelling in Ox- ford Street so lavishly furnished that he almost went broke. We'll established, Elisabeth quarreled with him. A mere major, without great fortune, was not her des- tined mate.
 Several stories exist of the meet ing of Elisabeth and the fledgling and slightly moulted eagle. Cap tain the Hon. D. Bingham, British journalist, relates how a friend of his, one night in Drury Lane, ad- viSed her to take the prince instead of some English peer for whom she had been angling. Another account states that Count d'Orsay, compa- triot of Louis Napoleon and the most accomplished dandy of his time," introduced them.
 By that time Elisabeth was fair ly rich. Three English nobles had made her presents of approximately $150,000. But there was a streak of romance in her. She could be gen. erous as well as shrewd. And when generosity and romance were cou- pied with the possibility of fa- bulous return, she persuaded her. self to take the plunge.
 NAME OF NAPOLEON
 PROVED MAGIC
 Louis Napoleon had another pas sion, apart from his ambition to be emperor of France. The list of his conquests reads like the "Bottin Mondain." He was a gusty lover. His moods were sudden and violent. While still an exile in London, he won the hearts of several beautiful and titled English ladies, but it was to Elisabeth, finally, that he de- voted most of his attention. To her, he could tell his hopes, his plans, with some expectation of be-

ONE-TIME BARNARD GAMBIED ON HIS SUCCESS

GAMBLED ON HIS SUCCESS
 The one person who believed i5 him was an ex-barmaid from LafnA beth, the daughter of Thames boatman. Her name was Elisabeth Herriott, though by the time Louis Napoleon met her she had renounc- ed the Lambeth "pub" for more luxurious surroundings and asso- ciates, and had changed her name to the more aristocratic Elisabeth Howard.
 This dockside beauty was to take her place in history. She was to stake Louis Napoleon to an imper- ial crown. She had a chance-not great one. to be sure, although she thought so-of being empress. She did become Countess de Beau regard, chatelaine of a fine estate, and rich. Her $100000 invested in Louis Napoleon had been highly profitable.
 Elisabeth Howard began life with certain natural endowments. She was radiantly handsome of face, with splendid physique and figure. Described as taller than average, her beauty was classic, and she had complexion which defied the ravages of time and dissipation"
