Editorial Correspondence of The
Sunday American.
LONDON, July 19.—If you can
Imagine California translated Into
pure London—If you can picture
Spanish and American cowboy*,
who LOOK as though they should
be wearing silk hats and frock
coats at Lady Tomnoddy’s after
noon tea—then you may get some
idea of the gay and rattllngly
realistic musical play at Daly’s
Theater called "The Marriage
Market.” To add to the cosmo
politanism of the thing. I may add
that it originally came from
Hungary (the land of goulash).
Here are rome of the purposes:
Originally by M. Brody and F.
Maftos; music by Victor Jacobi;
lyrics by Arthur Anderson and
Adrian Ross; adapted for the
English stage by Gladys Unger.
(Skip all the3e names If you like,
I don’t care; I’d do It myself.)
“The Marriage Market” sug
gests “The Red Petticoat,” that
New York saw last reason; als»o
“Arizona," “The Squaw Man,”
“The Tenderfoot,” and goodness
knows what else. It Is to be used
in New York as a vehicle for the
graces of Mr. Donald Brian,
graces that lie in the region of
his nimble toes. I am bound to
say that I can't see him in It at
all. but I am also bound to say
that with the upual snipping and
shearing and manipulating that
London productions suffer before
they are New-Yorked, “The Mar
riage Market” will be as good as
“The Sunshine Girl,” and perhaps
better.
Here it is a woman's play, and
it Is dominated by Gertie Millar
and that delightful-voiced young
woman. Sari Petrass. They are
the whole show r , and it is difficult
to see how Donald Brian can take
their place. The part that Brian
is to play—a role called Slippery
Jack—is done here by Robert
Michaells, who has a perfectly
gorgeous voice. If Donald Brian
could sing with his heels, I’m
sure he would be better than
Michaelis. but with his vocal
chords he will be less entertain
ing. However, I should worry!
I guess that Mr. Frohman will see
just as keenly that Donald isn’t
pnowed under as he saw that lit
tle Julia Sanderson wasn’t sub
merged in “The Sunshine Girl.”
Letsopeso!
“The Marriage Market” tells
really a good story, and it suc
ceeds in London because of Its
unusual atmosphere. The story,
of course, doesn’t matter. You’d
roar with laughter if you read
the elongated description of the
“plot” In the London papers—for
instance, in the Telegraph, which
details it, as though it were
Shakespeare or Maeterlinck. “Al
though she is the richest heiress
in San Francisco, she goes off for
a lark to Southern California with
her friend, Kitty Kent, both of
them disguised as farmers'
daughters”—and so on. ad lib.
Victor Jacobi is new to London
and of the Viennese stamp. His
music is pretty, but conventional.
One or two numbers have the lilt
that Daly’s Theater expects, and
generally gets, but there is more
than a suggestion of Lehar, and I
am awfully tired of that gentle
man. The Lehar vein is in evi
dence a whole lot in “The Mar
riage Market,” and it Is a vein
tl*it has beer, overworked a good
deal. Some of the airs sound a
bit familiar—the familiarity that
breeds contempt—but the opera
is so charmingly sung that i\
doesen’t matter.
Sari Petrass is really the star,
If one counts on voice. London is
now very fond of thie clever
young woman, who, after a year
in England, speaks English a
good deal better than many Eng
lishwomen and most Americans.
She is so good and clever that I
shouldn’t be a bit surprised If
New York got hold of her one of
these days. She outshines Gertie
Millar though It Is the ambitious
Gertie who Is meant to be the
star. Miss Millar, who Is length
without breadth, and who Is very
pretty, with a tiny face, and very
long lithe limbs (you know what
I mean bv limbs—NOT arms),
dances delightfully and sings as
best she can—or perhaps can not.
She has charm and refinement
and delicacy, and she IS a (treat
favorite oere, quite deservedly.
As an artist, however, San Fe-
trass has her beaten a hundred
wavs. . .
The gentleman star is not
Michalelis, but G. P.

Americans Keep London Society
Alive With Sprightly Dances.
Stately Balls Now Passing.
By W. ORTON TEWSON.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 2.—The season Just
ended has been marked by the domi
nation of the young element in so
ciety. Stately halls were In the mi
nority, while dances of less preten
sion took place at the rate of five a
night.
American and Anglo-American girls
have played Important role* in these
gayeties, but few debutantes have
arisen to challenge the laurels of Mar-
gharita Dre^el, Helen H. Gowdy,
Anita Stewart and Mildred Carter,
three of whom are now married.
Most exalted of the Anglo-Ameri
cans was Lady Iris Capell, daughter
of the Countess of Essex. She was
carefully managed, attending only the
ultra-sm irt parties. Lady Capell was
guest of honor at a small dance the
Duchess of Marlborough gave for her.
Greater freedom was permitted her
cousins, the Hon. Helena Coventry,
Lady Deerhurst’s daughter, and Philae
Maxwell, Lady Maxwell’s daughter.
Both mothers hail from San Francis
co.
Miss Page a Favorite.
Miss Page, the American Ambassa
dor’s daughter, arrived late in the sea
son, but scored a success, as did Miss
Julia Robbins In a fleeting visit.
The simplicity of Frank Page and
his sister, the children of the Am
bassador, is appreciated keenly by the
English, who love to see persons in
high positions unaffected. They take
the good things of life with evident
delight, and are contributing In an
important way to the popularity of
their father.

Will Soon Divide Honors in
Capital With Napoleon.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Aug. 2.— The cult of King
Edward VII has again broken out
in Paris, and if it continues monu
ments to him will soon divide honors
with those of Napoleon.
The chief difference is that No-
poleon saw to the erection of his
own monuments, such as the Arc
de Tromphe, the Column of the
Place Vendome and the Arc du Car
rousel, whereas strangers erect monu
ments to King Edward.
In the Place Edward VII an eques
trian statue will soon be unveiled to
the peacemaking King. It is already
in its place and shows the King in
uniform mounted on his favorite
horse, an excellent likenesb.
The Place Edward VII is quite
new r . There is also the Rue Edward
VII, the Hotel Edw'ard VII, the Thea
ter Edward VII and the Restaurant
Edward VII. And now the statue
Edward VII.
All these are off the Boulevard des
Capucines, hard by the theater where
King Edward and King Leopold used
to meet accidentally. An American
who noticed the numerous things
called after King Edward said that
he thought he w r as in London rather
than in Paris.
The same cult prevails in the Ri
viera. Everybody knows the famous
sailor statue at Cannes, w’hich looks
out on the Mediterranean. Even in
the hotel gardens there are statuettes
and commemorative plaques of the
late King. Biarritz abounds W'ith
these. In the Riviera, however, it is
not Napoleon, but th e late Queen
Victoria who divides honors with him.
The, most curious tribute to .the
Queen is a little museum in a Hyeres
George Cornwallis-West, the young hotel which contains a toilet set of
brother of the Princess Pless and Victoria, Queen and Empress.

German Pieces ‘Nasty.’
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 2.—Young Law
rence Irving is a firm believer in
American plays. “If you ask me
where the plays of the future are
coming from,” he said to a littl
group of intimates the other day, “I
would say, ‘Keep your eye on Amer
ica.’
“There Is something very work
manlike about the American play;
morevover, their dramatists appre
ciate the value of humor and action.
“The French drama Is losing hold;
German plays are nasty. English
drama has Improved greatly and is
now quite alive, but Is not prolific.
“America Is undoubtedly the coun
try of our future dramatists.”
Alfonso Refuses to Give
Widow Brother’s Riches
By LA RACONTEUSE.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Aug. 2.—Paris after Bas
tille day is a city deserted by the
ladies of the beau monde who have
migrated to Trouvllle, Deauville and
all the other fashionable seaside re
sorts along our coast. There remain
only the tourists and the workers,
who are not inclined to gossip because
they know nothing to gossip about.
When we talk, and of course we do
talk, we are restricted to subjects of
the past and possibly nothing is more
eagerly' discussed than the case
against King Alfonso of Spain, to
whom M. Albert DeC’azarllh, former
May r or of Luchon, left hts whole for
tune and estates.
The sister of M. Albert Sapene de
Cazarllh, “le veuve Sacaze” contested
the will, because she thought that as
a widow with several children she
had a better claim on the money than
Alfonso, who Is a rich man, and who
receives a very handsome sajary, con
sidering the work he does.
Alfonso Refuses Widow’s Plea.
With child-like simplicity she told
the King this in a letter and asked
him to surrender the Inheritance to
her but Alfonso, though ordinarily
the most chivalrous of men, turned a
deaf ear to her entreaties. Well, he
hap a good many children himself,
and we shall probably very soon be
hearing that he expects another baby,
so I do not think he should be judged
too harshly.
Mme. Sacaze, however, felt very
much disappointed and promptly filed
a suit against the King, asserting
that her brother, who died in a mad
house, was Insane when he made his
last will and testament in 1908, a
year before he was sent to the asy
lum.
Alfonso’s lawyer, on the other
side, Insisted that no saner man than
the formei Mayor of Luchon was In
1908 ever existed, and that It is abso
lutely no sign of a swelled head to
leave your money to a popular King
rather than to a cranky sister with
whom you never sympathized. •
King Alfonso, who spends a few
weeks In Luchon every year for the
sake of his health, Intends to donate
the money to charitable institutions
in that city, lf he ever gets it, for
the ease will be carried to the high
est court of the land.
Made Many Testaments.
What surprises us most here Is that
Mme. Sacaze did not take steps to
stop her brother from making testa
ments, which appears to have been
one of his favorite pastimes. He once
made a testament in favor of the
Count of Chambord, one of the last
Bourbons, and that there was method
in his madness la proved by the fact
that when the Count died he trans
ferred his sympathies to the last of
the Bourbons, the King of Spain.
If Mme. Sacaze. who is a very
plain, simple-minded woman who
never sympathized with her brother's
“weakness” for blue blood, had been
wise in the ways of the world, she
would nave humored her brother in
everything and made him do what
she wanted while he thought he was
having everything his own way.
Strange Nicknames
Of English Noblemen j
Marquis of Crewe Is ’Robin,’ Marquis j
de Soveral Is Known as
'Blue Monkey.’
n^clal ?able to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 2.—Reference the
other day by John Alexandra to the
late Duke of Sutherland as “Strath”
has brought'out that many society
leaders bear remarkable nicknames.
The Marquis of Crew'e Is known
throughout society as “Robin,”
doubtless because of his fondness
some years ago for scarlet waist
coats. No explanation, how’ever, Is
forthcoming for the name “Blue
Monkey,” commonly applied to the
Marquis de Soveral.
It Is said that this extraordinary
nickname was bestow ed on the former
Portuguese Ambassador by King
Edward, his intimate friend.
Lord Lonsdale answers to the name
of “The Groom,” while another equal
ly well-known peer is know’n as
“Porker.”
Gaiety Girl Beauty Has Conjugal Rights
Restored After Loder Left Her Home.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 2.—Gabrielle Ray,
once more Gabrielle Ray by the
mandate of the British divorce court,
to-day realizes that if turn about is
fair play, It Is certainly the most
painful play she has ever encoun
tered.
Gabrielle Ray, It will be remem
bered, was Mrs. Erie Loder, daughter-
ln-law' of Sir Edmund Loder, and wife
of about the richest clubman Lon
don society knows.
It will be remembered that when
they were to be married seventeen
months ago, the Gaiety girl beauty
left the millionaire waiting at the
church. The eager bridegroom was
at the altar at the proper time, but
Britain’s most postcarded beauty was
not on hand.
The next day she relented and the
ceremony took place. But Loder had
been deeply humiliated. He decided
to pay the beauty back in some of
her own coin. In fact he decided to
leave her waiting in her home.
After a brief honeymoon, he left
their home and he hasn’t been back.
This peeved the fair Gabrielle. The
woman, who had spurned an ex-
king and about half the nobility,
couldn’t understand how' any man
could leave, her In this way. She
wrote appealing letters to her hus
band, but he didn’t reply.
One of them was read in court. It
said: *T am feeling desperately mis
erable and want you, my husband, so
badly • * * thank you for the flow
ers you sent me on the anniversary
of our w'eddlng. You can’t think how
it all hurts.”
Loder did not defend the suit and
the court rendered a decision restor
ing her conjugal rights.
Another stage beauty recently In
the public eye is Miss Pearl Aufrere
whose engagement to Lord Dangan,
son of Earl Cow’ley, was broken b>
the paternal orders.

English Artists Are Dropping to Sec

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug-. 2—At the Gayety
Theater the chorus, who all hope to
play leading parts “some day,” are
somewhat perturbed by the news that
a young American. Mise Ina Claire,
will probably play the chief part next

There are now American “turns" at
almost every variety theater In Lon

Persecution of Jews

Squads of Police Nightly Raid Sta

Special Cable to The American.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 2.—Never
has RuRsja witnessed such a perse
cution of the Jews as is now being
carried on. Nightly roundups of tho
jX)orer Jews are a common feature
In Kieff, Odessa and other towns of
the Empire.
Squads of police raid stables and
outhouses in their searches for Jew's,
who are forced to seek such shelters
because they are not allowed to reside
outside of the i>ale.
the all-invading tango dance shows
no signs of vanishing w'ith the Lon
don season. Society has gone quite
crazy over It, and at country house
parties, the hostesses are vying with
each other in efforts to get couples
who are well up In it and can teach
it to their guests.
Lady Diana Manners Expert.
Mrs. Walter Rubens, who was the
partner of a young American In the
"fish walk” at the Duchess of Man
chester’s the other night, could get
free board and lodging for a full year
if she accepted all the invitations that
have been showered down upon her.
The Baron and Baroness DeMeyer
are particularly keen on the tango
and give little w'eek-end parties ex
clusively for tango dancers. Miss
Ethel Levey and Cosmo Gordon Len
nox are often their guests.
Mrs. George Tlnckard, niece of
Eleanor and May Robson, gave sev
eral "tango teas” at her house in
Chesterfield street and also at Conde
Court, her place in Murrey.
Lady Diana Manners is an expert
and simply refuses to attend any
dance where the old-fashioned waltzes
are on the program. Miss C. Muriel
Wilson and Mrs. Cecil Huggins, both
Americans, dispute the place of hon
or as the best tango dancer in Lon
don. Other prominent exponents of
the new’ dancing are Princess Teano.
Lady Honor Ward and Prince Paul of
Servla, who left London determined to
introduce the dance at King Peter’s
court.
The greatest triumph of the tango,
however, is the serious possibility that
it will appear at the Scotch balls in
September, hitherto exclusively de
voted to the cult of that mystic rite,
the highland reel.

PARIS, Aug. 2.—In reminiscences,
which the veteran M. Felix Duquesnel
Is contributing to the Temps he has a
chapter on Alexandre Dumas the
younger, whom M. Duquesnel knew
intimately.
Dumas once told M. Duquesnel how
the famous novel “La Dame aux Ca
mellas” came to be written.
Dumas had no notion of trying lit
erature. He had been living in luxury
with his father, and without thought
for the future. Suddenly, however,
Dumas senior got into financial diffi
culties and the 5*on found hinpelf at
Marseilles reduced to a humblj lodg
ing and an uncertainty about getting
meals.
He sat down with paper and pen in
front of him, and “La Dame aux Ca-
melias” was the result.

LONDON, Aug. 2.—An ingenious
method of transferring mail has just
been adopted by the postofflee. It
is worked automatically.
The trains are made up of one,
two or three trucks driven on the
distant control principle, and there

12 to 35 miles an hour.
When the train is to be stopped
it is run up an incline' and comes
to a standstill in a dead section.
The mail, in receptacles, is sent
down a chute ’ to the cars, and on
arrival is transferred to the sorting
rooms by mechanical processes.
Vandal Disfigures
Painting in Salon
Anquetin, Prominent Parisian Artist,
Believes Act Was Result of
Grudge Against Him.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Aug. 2.—An unknown per
son has, by an act of vandalism, dis
figured the portrait of a lady painted
by M. Anquetin, a prominent Parisian
artist, exhibited in the Salon of the
Societe Nationale des Beaux-Arts at
the Grand Palais.
The vandal waited almost for the
last day of the exhibition to perpe
trate his deed. The fact was discov
ered the day before the Salon closed,
and the painter was immediately in
formed. The portrait represents the
lady In decollete, and the neck was
scratched with a stylograph.
The artist believes that It was prob
ably done or sugges’ed by someone
with a grudge against him, though he
did not know that he had an enemy.
An inquiry has been started, which
ho far has yielded no results. The
employees in the room w'here the pic
ture was exhibited had not noticed
the attempt, and they are at a loss
to explain how it was done.
Its 1,000th Birthday
Celebrated by Town

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 2.—The borough of
Tamworth, once a Saxon stronghold,
has Just celebrated Its one thou«andth
birthday. V owes Its foundation to
Ethelreda, daughter of King Alfred
the Groat.
In 874 the Danas penetrated as far
as Repton, In Derbyshire. Tainworth
fell under the ravages, and “lay for
nearly 40 years a mass of blackened
ruins.”
Just a thousand summers ago this
July the courageous Princess marched
at the head of her army to Tamworth,
recaptured the home of her ancestors,
rebuilt the town and restored it?

This historic borough has not been
spoiled by the modern spirit. It re

10,000 inhabitants, with many quaint
old customs.
New Paris Plan Regarded There
as Important, in Its Way, as
Upset of 1789 in Politics.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Aug 2.—All the physi
cians of France agree that the re
cent decree regarding tuberculosis Is
a revolution in hygiene. In their en
thusiasm they say it is for public
health what the revolution of 1789
was for politics.
The Academy of Medicine has de
creed that a declaration of tuber
culosis should be obligatory; that it
should impose an obligation of help
for the sufferer and his family. It
takes the stand that the public good
demands this declaration.
The declaration must be made tot
a special medical officer, who will
be bound to secrecy and imposes
upon the authorities an obligation to
help the sick and their families.
It is noted that professional secre
cy Is safeguarded. Hitherto physi
cians have held back through fear
that their beloved? professional se
crecy might be violated.
The declaration has no element of
annoyance either for the ill or for
the physicians. So far from being
made outcasts, those afflicted and
their families must be helped from
the public purse. It is distinctly
slated that to this they have a right.
The leaders in this great move
ment are Dr. Roux, director of the
Pasteur Institute, and Dr. Letelle,
chief of the Permanent Commission
on Tuberculosis.
Dr. Roux has been connected in
various capacities with the Pasteur
Institute for the last thirty-five years.
He began In a very humble capacity
and has worked* his way up until
nine years ago he became head of
that famous Institution. He Is the
author of many learned works, and
has the reputation of being the most
hard-working physician In Paris.

LONDON. Aug. 2.—There is some
talk of restoring the vacant post of
marine painter to the King. The late
marine painter was an Italian, a very
good sea painter, but otherwise not
very distinguished as an artist. How
he came to be marine painter to the
King was something of a mystery, but
since his death some months ago the
office has not been filled.
Now It is believed that the King
IntendB to confer it upon a French
painter. Monsieur Glllot, and the com
pliment would undoubtedly be im
mensely appreciated by the French
people. Monsieur Glllot has painted a
fine picture of the coronation naval
royal review, and the other afternoon
the King and Queen went round to the
McLean Gallery in the Haymarket to
inspect the canvas. The French Am
bassador was there, and “on the spot”
presented the picture to the King on
behalf of the French Government. So
there is every probability of another
“furriner” figuring at court ere long.

Special' Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Aug. 2.—Empror William,
who Is spending his holidays In the
Norwegian fjords, enters keenly Into
the sports of the villagers. Recently
he organized a regatta, one of the
chief event? of which was a sculling
race for women only. After a keen
fight there was some disappointment
when the first prize went, not to the
local favorites, but to a pair of stran
gers, two strapping girls supposed to
come from some neighboring village.
When the Kaiser came to distribute
the prizes, however, the mystery was
solved. His majesty caused the two
strangers to stand aside, and awarded
the first prize to the second crew, re
marking that he had ventured to
smuggle into the contest two of the
best-looking and most promising lads
in his yacht’s crew, dressed up in wo
man’s attire, to act as “runners up"
and encourage the others to strenu
ous efforts and so to achieve the best
