or tun CIS
Film Play Proves a Success, but
London Is Startled Because /
It Contains an Idea.
By ALAN DALE.
Special Correspondent of The Sunday
American.
LONDON, July 26.—There’s a real
lord in the production of “The Girl
on the Film” at the Gaiety Theater.
He Ls programmed as Arthur Welles
ley, but in real life he is Lord Lan-
gan, and—“a chaming chap,” as they
say over here I mention this circum
stance, you see, conspicuously, be
cause it’s good to get anything real
in musical comedy, even a lord. But
the “nobility” can do no better than
stick to C'orge Edwardes He not
only provides brides for the nobility,
but he gets the nobility into his cast.
Lord Langan seems to be a pleas
ant young man. Nobody could pos
sibly guess that he is more than the
program says he is. It is a great
thing to be able to conceal one’s no
bility, isn’t it? Mr. Wellesley does it.
He is blithe and debonair, and he
wears evening clothes, with a gray
stripe down the trousers. Perhaps a
gray stripe down the trousers is a
secret emblem of nobility.
There is a plot in “The Girl on the
Film”—a real, solid, substantial,
made-ln-Germany plot—and this is so
unusual that George Edwardes pro
vides a booklet for each person, set
ting forth his plot in narrative form.
You get so in the habit of “dropping
In” at any old time to a George Ed
wardes show that you never dream of
a plot. Why a plot? Lest you should
miss this one, Mr. George Edwardes
places it under your very eyes, as it
were. It begins like this: “Max Daly
(Mr. George Grossmith), manager,
author and actor, is preparing a new
play for the cinema theaters, under
the title of ‘Napoleon and the Miller’s
Daughter,’ in which he is to represent
Napoleon. His manageress and lead
ing comedienne is Miss Euphemia
Knox (Miss Connie Ediss).” Simple,
isn’t it? Almost guilelessly Gaiety!
The musical comedy Is rather in
teresting, because it deals with the
cinema business, which, as you know.
IS quite a business. A “Vioscope”
company arrives, and arrangements
are made for taking the film of the
picture drama, “Napoleon and the
Miller’s Daughter.” You assist at
the making of the film, and in the
last act you see the very film cine-
ma’d that you’ve watched in the
' making. This struck me as a mighty
good idea and quite a novelty for a
musical show. In fact. I’ve heard
many people declare that they didn’t
care overweeningly for “The Girl on
the Film,” and I attribute this to the
fact that it contains an idea. How
Is it that a musical comedy dares to
contain an idea?
Moreover, this film-taking business
* contains the plot. The leading lady,
who is to play the miller’s daughter,
throws up her part, and Fraddy, the
heroine, takes her place and is rec
ognized later by an Irate father.
Freddy Is a very pretty girl, dis
guised as a boy, so—you see your
Gaiety! I apologize for even sug
gesting as much as I have done of
the plot. But I felt It was me dooty,
inasmuch as “The Girl on the Film” is
novel.
It is almost sauerkrautishly Ger
man in its presentment of sponsors—
“from the German Rudolf Bernauer
and Rudolf Schanzer, with music by
Walter Kollo. Willy Bredschneider
and Albert Sironay!” Poor George
Edwardes, who has to make a bluff
of doing something English for Eng
lish people, heads all these names
with “A” musical farce by James T
Tanner.” The music Is not as good
as the plot. It is not epoch-making
by any means, but rather pleasant
and enervating, as it were. It was
being done in Berlin while I was
there as the “Flimzauber.” I careful-
lv avoided it there.
Little Miss Emmy Wehlen, with
whom I chatted recently, is very
charming ideed as Freddy, the he
roine, and is getting quite Gaiety-
fled. 1 prophesy that she will be
come a great favorite in London, be
cause, like a clever girl, she seems to
know exactly what London wan<s, i
Connie Ediss is all to the fore again
with her inexhaustible, warranted -
never-to-wear-out cockney diale Jt
and all her old mannerisms. Then
f there is a somewhat handsome wo-
* man called Madeleine Seymour, who
is of the large and langurous type.
Charles Maude, a relative of Cyril;
George Barrett. Robert Nalnby and
George Grossmith are the best of the
men. Mr. Grossmith is an agile and
os like himself as ever. All these
people, if they dared to try and be
* like anybody else, would be horribly
unrecognized. If >ou once make a
hit at the Gaiety you are O. K. for
life, provided you never try to do
anything different. Novelty and ver
satility are fatal. You must be your
self until you fall by the wayside.
It’s a nice performance, take it all
in all, and I’m bound to say I was
agreeably surprised, for I had heard
that it was not a nice performance.
You see. it had a plot to contend with,
and in London they are used to aim
less philandering. Also, it is Ger
man, and English is, of course, more
popular.
There was an ‘ad on the program
that amused me a lot. Really, they
are as “ad”-ridden and indiscriminate
in London as they are in New York.
This was the ad; “So-and-So, Inquiry
Agent to the Nobility and Gentry, in
trusted with divorce and delicate ne
gotiations in all parts of the world.
Go to him if blackmailed, or in dif
ficulties.” I thought that almost
w himsically amusing.
But “The Girl on the Film” is bet
ter than some of the Gaiety Girls, and
It seems to have caught on here.

HEART ISSTARTED
AFTER VICTIM DIES
French Physician Tells How Ac
tion of Organ Was Resumed
by Massage Treatment.
iecial Cable to The American.
PARIS, Aug 9.—Dr. Bouchon, fol
lowing in the footsteps of Dr. Carrel,
recently succeeded In reviving the
normal action of the heart ten min
utes after death. In a paper which he
will read at the next meeting of the
Academy of Medicine Dr. Bouchon
says:
“After a motor car accident I w’as
called in and immediately perceived
that the victim had been killed in
stantaneously. Despite my assurance
that there was no doubt as to his
death, the friends of the victim in
sisted that a desperate attempt should
be made at resuscitation, and about
ten minutes after the last breath 1
decided upon a surgical operation
having diagnosed traumatic rupture
of the heart.
“I opened the thorax and In 50 sec
onds laid the heart bare. I imme
diately found about a pint of blood in
the pericardium and a heart wound
about two and one-half inches long
on the inner surface of the left ven
tricle. After suture, I proceeded to
apply my method of reviving heart
action.
“After filling all the cardiac cavi
ties with a special organic liquid, I
made a rapid tacheotomy and Intro
duced oxygen by the tracheal tube,
while my assistant performed artifi
cial respiration tractions.
‘I then began alternate auricular
massage of the heart, and at the end
of about a minute I clearly perceived
that the heart had resumed tonicity,
and, to my great surprise, it contin
ued to contract by its own true ac
tion.
“Radicat pulsation then became
perceptible, and after I had closed the
thoracic flap the heart continued to
contract for 35 minutes. At the end
of this time the contraction* sudden
ly ceased, and all subsequent efforts
to re-establish them were in vain.”

island, and mothers and fathers are
discussing his widely heralded pranks
with horror or with glee, according to
the varied temperament of mothers
and fathers.
The last story is the best. The
newspapers have told it, and it must
be so, that a certain lady of high de
gree was invited to have tea with
Queen Mary. It was a pleasant oc
casion, indeed, taking tea with the
Queen.
But when the peeress arose from the
table she discovered with horror that
golden ringlets of hair, ringlets that
had been highly praised by friends
and sung by poets as her chiefest
beauty, were lying on the floor at the
back of her chair.
The Prince, investigating the beau
tiful ringlets, found out what had
been lost to the discriminating eyes
of friends and poets. The ringlets
came off too easily.
That is only one story. The other
day he told his nurse, without so
much persiflage, to go to a certain
place where snow is unknown. The
nurse, instead, went to the Queen
with her complaint, and the royal
mother ordered her son to apologize.
He did. It was a royal apology.
“You needn't go,” said he to the
nurse.
The boy Prince is very democratic,
and when offered his choice of out
ings he selects visits to public parks,
donkey rides, elbow brushing with
boys and girls of the middle and low
er classes.
The two other sons of the King of
England, Prince Henry and the
Prince of Wales, are comparatively
staid youths. Henry is going soon to
Eton, where he will live the life of
the ordinary English schoolboy. The
Prince of Wales will Join a cavalry
regiment, with sorrow in his 19-year-
old heart that he can not rear a mus
tache.
NOTED ACTOR WORN DOWN

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 9.—Arthur Bourohier,
the well-known English actor and his
wife, whose stage name is Violet Van
Brugh, have just returned from Ger
many, where they p'ayed "Macbeth”
for cinematograph purposes. It is un
derstood that the couple received $5,000
for their work, which occupied a week.
High though the remuneration was,
Mr. Bourchier found the task not so
easy as he had expected it would be.
He complains that ne had to get up at
I o’clock in the morning In order to
ateh the proper light, and that the ne
cessity of waiting ubout in costume for
hours was most unpleasant.
BUSINESS CITY
Mayor Would Have Capital Be
come Industrial Center of the
Empire in Near Future.
Special Cable to The American.
TOKIO, Aug. 9.—A bigger and bus
ier industrial Tokio is the dream of
Baron Sakatani, Mayor of the capital
of the Japanese Empire. Osaka, great
industrial city to the south, has made
giant strides as a world port, and
Mayor Sakatani is anxious that Tokio
should show more rivalry to Osaka,
which he calls the Manchester of Ja
pan.
The Baron is convinced that China
offers a great field for Japanese en
terprise, and that the commercial de
velopment of Tokio is necessary so
that Japan may take advantage of
this field. Manchuria and Korea also
loom up as possibilities for increased
Japanese commerce, but in order to
get this trade Tokio must devise some
more convenient means of transporta
tion than by Kobe or Tsuruga.
< Would Open New Port.
The first step, the Mayor thinks,
should be the opening of a new port
at Nayoyet«u, in Echlgo, north of To
kio. In its commercial development
Tokio suffers from the disadvantage
of higher wages and more extrava
gant habits of living. Tokio has been
a city of consumption rather than
of production, and it is the national
center of ease and pleasure.
“Everything comes to Tokio,” May
or Sakatani says, "but seldom Is any
thing sent from Tokio elsewhere. The
disadvantages to be overcome are the
high cost of fuel and labor If Tokio
Is to secure the Chinese field for her
manufactures, we will have to im
prove our system of water commu
nication and settle various phases of
the local labor question.”
Since the revolution in China the
demand for foreign manufactures has
grown enormously, and Japan should
be in a position to take her share,
according to Mayor Saltytanl. An im
portant step to that end is the mak
ing of Tokio a greater commercial
and industrial center and cultiva
tion of the friendship of China by pro
moting mutual understanding between
the merchants of both countries.

SUITOR OF FI
ISO PEERESS
London Society Is Interested in
Hamel's Attempt to Win Heart
of Lady Victoria Pery.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 9.—Whether an en
gagement - caps the romance of Lady
Victoria Pery, the fascinating daugh
ter of the Earl and Countess of Lim
erick, and Gustav Hamel, the avia
tor, remains to be seen, but the
mother publicly emiles on tho young
flying man and the progress of the
courtship is watched with interest.
During the spring. the peer's
daughter went to London to fly and
the good looking Hamel escorted
Lady Victoria cloudwards for $25.
Soon afterward, society was mildly
thrilled to see Hamel in the train of
Lady Limerick and her daughter at
many smart balls.
Lady Limerick invariably asked
for invitations for Hamel and he was
always seen dancing and supping
with the mother and daughter. Little
serious import was placed on the
strange combination until the last
night of the opera. A prominent box
party at Covent Garden comprised
Lady Victoria and Hamel in front,
with Lady Limerick chaperoning
beamingly in the background.
Since then gossip has engaged the
young people, but no announcement
is forthcoming from the family.
Lady Victoria has been one of the
most conspicuous girls in society
since her debut. In one year she
was engaged twice; once to Duke San
Antona and afterward to the Hon.
Luke White, Lord Annaly’s son.
Both engagements were abandoned
and the Irish beauty continued her
career of heart breaking.

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 9.—Statistics Just
published here by an investigator
show that Francis Joseph, ot Aus
tria. Is the greatest linguist of all
reigning sovereigns. He speaks elev
en languages fluently. They ore Ger
man. French, Hungarian, Czech, Pol
ish, Servian, Croatian, Ruthenlan,
Dalmatian, Roumanian and Italian.
All these living Languages he needs
for practical purposes within his own
patchwork empire.
It was in view of preparing him
for his high position that as a boy 70
years ago he was taught the tongues
of all his subjects. He also acquired
a gentleman's knowledge of Greek,
Hebrew and Latin.
German Emperor Second.
Tho German Emperor comes sec
ond as a royal linguist, being master
of German. English, French, Russian,
Polish and Latin. He holds, however,
that the German is the only language
in which to express a great mission.
Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria knows
all the Slavic dialectB, but not many
languages. He speaks French, Eng
lish, German and Russian. King Pe
ter of Servia is similarly equipped.
King Nicholas of Montenegro is not
a linguist. He has, however, & suffi
ciently liberal education to have been
able to act as tutor for his own five
daughters and two sons. The Greek
King Constantine’s linguistic attain
ments are not. of a high order, al
though he speaks French, English and
German in a halting way.
Alfonso Speaks Only Three.
King Alfonso of Spain was edu
cated Hke an English prince, more at
tention being given to sports than
languages. He speaks French, Eng
lish and German. The Czar of Rus
sia is not much better equipped ex
cept In Slavic dialects.
The three worst linguists are the
Pope, the King of Italy and King
George of England. Plus X never ex
pected to be Pope and was not trained
for the position. King Victor Em
manuel has not the language faculty.
King George thought that the educa
tion of an English gentleman consist
ed in being able to read Horace and

How toLose Your Tan,
Freckles or Wrinkles
(From Woman's Tribune.)
A day's motoring, an afternoon on
the tennis ground or g-.lf links, a sun- \
bath on the beach or exposure on a sea
trip, often brings on a deep tan or vivid j
crimson or, more perplexing still, a vig :
orous crop of freckles A very neces- ;
sary thing then Is mercolized wax, which .
removes tan, redness or freckles quite
easily. It literally peels off the af
fected skin—Just a little at a time, so
there's no hurt or Injury. As the skin
comes off in almost invisible flaky par
ticles, no trace of the treatment Is
shown. Get an ounce of mercoljzcd wax
at your druggist’s and use this nightly
as you would coJd cream, washing it off
mornings In a week or so you will have
an entirely new skin, beautifully clear,
