Wife Was Miss Beatrice Mills
Alan Dale Finds It Minus the Star,
but He Is Willing to Admit
That He Did Smile.
By ALAN DALE,
Special Correspondent of The Sun
day American.
LONDON, Aug. 7.—One swallow
may not make a summer (though
I believe it does), but nobody will
deny that one “star” can make a
pjay. Therefore, if that one “star”
should be out of the cast (as often
happens in London) it is quite
likely that the play will lose its
exuberance. I saw “Oh, I Say!”
at the Criterion Theater when Mr.
James Welch was out of the cast.
I couldn’t ask for my money back
(I had been kindly presented with
a pair of stalls), so I sat through
a star-less “Oh, I Sa?!!” and paid
far more attention to the play than
I should have done.
Londoners don’t mind a bit when
the actor or actress they pay to see
takes a little vacation and an un
derstudy goes on. (You learn this
from a slip always inclosed in the
program, when it is too lat e to
repine.) Londoners are used to it.
1 don't know what had happened
to James Welch. Anyway, it was
his understudy, H. Langdon Bruce,
who played the part of the bride
groom in “Oh, I Say!!’’—a partic
ularly arduous role for an under
study to tackle. I divided my time
feeling sorry for H. Langdon Bruce
and for myself—particularly for
myself.
“Oh, I Say.’!’’ must have been a
scorcher in its original F'reneh of
Henri Kersai and Albert Barre.
when it was called “Une Nuit de
Noces” (A Wedding Night). It had
to be adapted into London by Syd
ney Blew’ and Douglas Hoare.
What they had to do was to “wed
ding-ring” the affair, or at least, in
a question of equivocal relations,
to suggest that the two were “en
gaged.”
The little English word “en
gaged” covers a multitude of Paris
ian iniquities. Marcel, the hero of
the piece, just married to the beau
tiful Suzette, meets in the foyer of
the Hotel d’Angleterre at Beauvais
the scintillant and corruscating
Sidonie, to whom he has been “en
gaged.” You smile as the word
pops out in its Anglo-Saxon hum
bug. You are perfectly well aware
what the adapter has done, but you
look around you at the ornate and
bare-shouldered British matron,
and you quite understand why
Marcel and Sidonie w T ere “engaged.”
That is really the gist and the
gust of “OH, I Say!!” The usual
farcical use of lies is resorted to,
and when I tell you that there are
four doors in the setting—all of
which bank—you can see your
play. Everybody is pushed in at
one door or other. Everybody else
rushes in at another door. The
most popular remark made is “You
here?”
Each, seeing the other, cries “you
here?’” i daresay you have heard
the remark before in French farce.
Half fit the French farces wouldn’t
get over the footlights unless you
heard that lovely query, “You here?”
Sometimes it 1st only “You here?"
More emphatically, it is You here?”
In cases of desperation it is “YOU
here?”
However, I'm not going to pre
tend that I didn’t smile at “Oh, I
say!!” for it would be foolish pre
tense. I did smile. It has its funny
moments in spite of allusions to
pajama^, keyholes, disinfectants,
and so on. Once get into the mood,
and in spite of reason one laughs.
“Laughter,” says Professor Henri
Bergson, “always implies a sort of
secret freemasonry, or even com
plicity, with other laughers, real or
imaginary. How often has it been
said that the fuller the theater,
the more uncontrolled the laughter
of-the audience! 7 ’ There was a good
deal of laughter at the Criterion
Theater, and whatever one may
write, in all cynicism of this cut-
and-dried fare© business, the piece
HAS caught on. In my humble
opinion, what “Oh. I Say!!” needs,
and what I am told Mr. Lee Shu-
bert will give it for U. S. A., is
music.
Music dulls noe’s sen^e of logic
What appears banal and trite and
far-fetched in a straight farce is
accepted without question when a
bit of music happens. With a cho
rus of pretty girls chirping “Oh, I
Say!!” it wouldn’t matter very
much what I DID say. So there
you are.
1 can't tell you what James Welch
did with the farce, but I should
imagine that it belonged to him.
There were two very pretty girls in
the cast—Miss Sybil de Bray, who
appeared as the bride, and Miss
Ruby Miller, who was the maid.
Then there was a very clever ac
tress rejoicing in the name of Mar
guerite Scialtiel, who is, I fancy,
Norwegian, and who is quite likely
to be heard from again. There were
many others, who had to rush in
and rush out. and get banged in the
doors. They had to work hard for
their living; and if they were not
merry, they w’ere at least active
little things!
It is a long time since we have
had a dose of real French farep.
even in London, and the English
public has taken kindly to “Oh. I
Say!!” even without musrfc. Th‘‘
piece is very short, indeed, which is
distinctly in its favor, and it says
what it has to say with lightning-
like rapidity. Anyway, it is estab
lished here.
Countess of Granard, formerly Miss Beatrice Mills, whose
husband is prominently mentioned as first Viceroy of Ireland under
home rule.
All London Believes She Will Grace Court
Husband Gets Important Post.
if
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 16.—An American
woman may rule in Ireland as wife
the first victory under home rule.
All London is talking over the pros
pect and is prophesying the appoint
ment of the Earl of Granard as Vice
Regent of Ireland. The Countess of
Granard was formerly Miss Beatrice
Mills, of New York the beautiful
heiress whose marriage to the Earl
was generally considered a love
match.
The talk of the appointment is al
most universally popular gossip. The
Earl is a Catholic and his American
I wife is wealthy, and it is believed he
will be acceptable to the Irish peo
ple, and fully able to hold his own
as to the splendor of his court.
But apart from the material advan
tages of politics, wealth and religion,
society talks pleasantly of the Count
ess herself. They recall the brilliant
figure that Lady Daisy Leiter Curzon
made as wife of the Viceroy in India,
and announce in their opinion Count
ess of Granard will be as presenta
ble.
Color of reality was given to the
gossip when the Earl and his Countess
went to Castle Forbes, Ireland, last
week. No announcement was made
that their trip had anything of a mo
mentous nature, but it is rumored that
beyond the casual appearance of the
journey there is something of signif
icance.

KAISER'S HILLS BY CIULIW
Fears Feft for Ltf» of Emperor if
Traditional Ghost Appears
in Castle
By STEVEN BURNETT.
Special Cable to The American.
BERLIN, Aug. 16.—Superstititious
people here are convinced that some
great calamity is threatening the Kai
ser or his family for the Hohenzol-
lern family’ ghost, the famous “white
lady,” is said to have walked at the
Palace, a thing she never does except
when some disaster is impending or
when a Hohenzollern is about to die.
The Kaiser himself ridicules the
idea-and has forbidden any talk about
it inside the Palace walls, but sev
eral of the servants swear thev did
see }he “white lady” and that the ex
planation that it mu9t have been
some lady resident of the Palace
walking in her sleep through the end
less corridors in her night dress Is
absurd, for she looked exactly as tra
dition says she does look, clad In long
flowing white dress, her pale hands
crossed on her brenst, and*her face
covered with a nun's veil.
Appears in Middle Ages.
The “white lady” was first heard
of as haunting the castles at Bay
reuth. Ansbach and Plassenburg in
the middle ages. At Plassenburg she
was so much feared that the cava
liers of the court took delight in mas
querading in white in certain rooms
to frighten those who came their wav.
Once, when Markgraf Albrecht, the
Warrior, met a white lady at* PDs-
senburg, he grasped her with his
strong arms and threw her down the
.stairs, and at the bottom was found
ti e dead body of his Chancellor, who.
with tjje Bishop of Bamberg, had
conspired against his ruler. But this
incident did not in any way damaey 1
the reputation of the “white lady.”
Someone always managed to see her
just before death entered the castle.
Napoleon Saw Specter.
The great Napoleon, who was In
tensely superstitious, on his military
campaigns twice had occasion to pass
through Bayreuth. The first time was
in 1812, when on his way to Russia,
and he sent a request from Aschaf-
fenburg that he should not be asked
to pass the night in the rooms at
Bayreuth, which were known to be
visited by* the “white lady.” His re
quest was granted; yet next morning
he arose in the worst of moods, and
as he was getting into his carriage
he was heard to mutter something
about the “accursed castle.” It was
certainly the presage of disaster to
him. The following year when he
passed through the place he refused
to pass the night there.
Last time a “white lady” showed
herself at Berlin was in 1859, a short
time before the birth of the present
Kaiser.
Windsor Castle Open
To Tourists Again
King George Orders That Any Offi
cial Accepting Tip Will Be
Dismissed.
French Government Is Forced to Put
Ban on Machines in Small
Cafes.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Aug. 16.—The French Gov
ernment has decided to prohibit the
"penpy-in-the-slot” gambling ma
chines infill the lower class cafes.
The last available statistics show
that in 1911 there were 64.953 of
these petty gambling machines in use
in France, and that their total re
ceipts during the year were $30,000,-
000.
The machines are usually leased by
cafe keepers on a sharing basis. Dur
ing 1911 the proprietors received as
their share $10,000,000.
The remaining $20,000,000 was rep
resented by tickets, drawn from the
machines, which were useless unless
exchanged for drinks.
Chestnut Equines Said to Have More

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 16.—At this time
of the year hundrpds of American
visitors go to Windsor to explore the
castle, and there is rejoicin in the
town over the reopening of the Stat^
apartments which have been closed
ever since last January through fear
of suffragette outrages.
Every* person who enters the castle
win have to pay a shilling, and there
will be no free days as hitherto. By
the King’s command this money will
go to the local hospital.
By the King's command also it is
reported that no “tips" whatever shall
be given to guides or to any of the
officials at the castle. If any official
is discovered accepting a “tip," he will
be dismissed.
AS CRYING HELD
British Suffragette Declares That
Monogamy Is Favored Only by
the Happily Wedded
By HERBERT TEMPLE.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug. 16.—There is no
better evidence of the remarkable
change that Is taking place in Eng
lish women and girls than the exist
ence of militancy and the appearance
of a movement led by a young Eng
lish girl for the introduction of polyg
amy in England.
Militancy among suffragettes had
been confined to a very small number
of women Rnd to a certain class of
women. The advocate of polygamy
to whom I refer, however, Is a very
well-known writer, although quite a
young girl.
An interview with the Sheik U1
Islam, the supreme priest of the
Mohammedan Church, cabled first to
New York and then to London, in
which the Sheik pointed out he Mo-
Mohammedans have polygamy and
very' little immorality, whereas we
Europeans have monogamy and wide
spread immorality, war read with a
great deal of interest here, particu
larly by women. It was very widely
commented upon.
The young woman writer who
would have polygamy says:
“Let us approach the problem fear
lessly and frankly. The fact is that
the present standard of morality is
false and unreal, or that while na
ture produces what is ultimately a
surplus of women over men, monog
amy is not a suitable system for all
our people.
“No system can be suitable which
condemns to death or non-life so
large a portion of the community cs
we. the surplus women, form.
“Monogamy is not a sacred insti
tution. and there is no real necessity
for hundreds of thousands, even mil
lions. of women to be sacrificed upon
its altar. Nor would anything of
value be destroyed by its removal and
by the setting up of a more suitable
moral and legal standard.
“We are told that the ideal condi
tion is one man—one wife. Well,
whatever alteration takes place there
can be nothing to force people, if they
think fit, to preserve that equation so
far as they themselves are concerned.
“But those who adopt that stand
ard for themselves have no right—hu
man or divine—to try to impose it
upon others who are able and willing
to adopt another, especially when im
posing such standard is against na
ture itself and actually condemns a
large number of human beings who
have equal rights to themselves to
exclusion from life.
“I do not believe the difficulty lies
with men. I think that each man
deep down in his heart admits—if
only to himself—that monogamy is
unnatural and has failed.
“The difficulty lies with the fortu
nately married woman.
“If she and her husband are satis
fied with one another, then whatever
the legal right may be they would
never have en >ne ei**
“If they are not satisfied with each
other, then monogamy will not bind
them in fact.
“When all bachelor women and
widow’s have the parliamentary’ vote,
and their right to assist In the mak
ing of the nation’s laws, one of its
first influences will be to remove and
destroy the artificial and arblrtrary
standard of monogamy and to es
tablish polygamy as the legal and
proper right and custom of an ad
vanced people!”
Plombieres-les-Bains Bores
And Drenches Paris Society
By LA RACONTEUSE
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Aug. 16.—I have just re
turned from Prombleres-les-Bains,
our most fashionable pleasure resort,
w’here I went not because I really
wanted to, for in this miserably wet
summer Paris is most decidedly the
best place to spend your time, but
because my concierge, in plain words,
told me that she could not possibly
have any respect for a tenant who
showed such atrocious disrespect of
the law’s of “le beau-monde’S^s to re
main in Paris all .summer instead of
going to some fashionable resort.
In other words, I had to leave my
eozy apartment for a while, or I knew
that my female tyrant would make
life unbearable for me by those thou
sands of mean little tricks known
only to a Paris concierge, against
which you are absolutely defenseless
I found Plombieres-les-Balns as cold
and wet as I had expected it, but
crowded with society* people, all
dreadfully bored and all asking what
to do on a dreadfully long afternoon
with the rain pouring down.
Takes Hour to Recover.
In the morning time passes quickly,
no matter how* the weather. You take
“le traitement,” w’hich here consists
in a hot bath, followed by a cold
shower, massage "sans l’seau” in the
“kurhouse,” or massage “a sec” at
home in bed. after which you need at
least an hour’s rest to recover.
After lunch you go to the kursal
to drink your coffee, tea or elder blos
som tea to the aocompaniment of the
band; then you attend to your pri
vate correspondence, play a little “aux
petits chevaux" or “a la roulette,” but
what then?
The afternoon is still young, and
promenading, tennis or golf are out of
the question.
Suddenly an electric shock passed
through the room the news has spread
that Monseigneur Angouard, the
Congo missionary, will give a lectuie
at Hotel Deschauseaux. the hotel «»f
all priests and religious people. You
know in .advance whom you will meet
there and whom not. Not a single
gambler, not a sing’e "dame dernier
?rt”—nobody*, in fact, but the mem
bers of the poorer aristocracy and the
badly dressed bourgeoisie.
On the stroke of 4 these people
meet in the large hall, and when they
are all seated, firm steps are heard In
the corridor and Monseigneur's im
posing figure appears in the doorw’ay
smiling at everybody. He pretends
to take a sip of water, and then he
begins to tell about the 37 years he
has spent in voluntary exile, first as
a soldier in the Foreign Legion and
then, when he was tired of shooting
heathens, trying to save their souls as
a missionary.
And the Hat Is Passed.
And when he has finished, one of
the young girls present gets up, takes
off her hat, turns it upside down and
carries it around, asking for contri
butions to Monseigneur’s little ool-
ored babies, and e. few* moments later
she smilingly hands Monseigaeur
$150.
These affairs are always alike, and
the Monselgneurs always turn up on
a rainy day when people can not get
aw’ay.
A lady who has caused a stir is
the beautiful and charming Duchess
of Manchester, who has given us a
new dance which my readers prob
ably know and which “isn't doing a
thing" (is that right?) to the once al
mighty tango.
The dance. I am told, is composed
by an American, Uriel Davis.
To be able to dance it yqu must
first patiently practice w*alking up
stairs instead of using the elevator.
When you are quite familiar with the
movement required to w’alk from one
step to the one above, all you have to
do Is to repeat this movement In the
ballroom—eight steps forward, eight
steps back, raising your knees as
much as possible; then you slide side
ways as fast as possible and then
repeat the first eight steps each way.
Without intending to hurt the feel
ings of Mr. Uriel Davis, I venture to
pay. that I find the dance silly, and
the reason it is so popular is because
it is an excellent exercise to take off
flesh.

Croquet Suddenly
The Fad in England
Old Game Again Is Feature of the
Smartest Week-End
Parties.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Aug 16.—Croquet has
suddenly come back Into favor after
a long rest, and Is a marked feature
at all smart week-end parties.
Tennis is too strenuous and golf
too baffling for many whose social
duties call for much of their time.
The croquet lawns at Ranelagh and
HurlKigham are in great demand, and
many are introducing new’ rules and
new kinds of hoops to give novelty to
the game.
The Earl of Essex Is devoted to the
game. Lady Charles Beresford also
passes hours at it.
Viscount Doneralle. Lord Toll 3-
mache, Lord Lurgan and Nigel Klngs-
cote are often to be seen playing at
Ranelagh.
Among the fair sex one notices
Lady Angela Forbes. Lady Margaret
Spicer, Lady Sophie Scott, Lady Win

LONDON, Aug. 16.—There are 300

don. They are music hall artists who

They came first class, talking of
three-figure contracts, and n6w they
are scheming to get cheap passages

The trouble, of course, is that the
music hall stage has been glutted
with American turns.

LONDON, Aug. 16.— The appoint
ment of Dr. Robert Bridges to suc
ceed Alfred Austin as poet laureate
has note been treated as kindly by
the press as was Mr. Austin's f*ucces-
Mon to Tennyson, notwithstanding the
fact that both as a man of letters arid
as a poet Dr. Bridges is measurably
his immediate predecessor's superior
The censure of Dr Bridges’ selection
is probably to be found in the fact
that the press is merely voicing pub
lic opinion, w’hich Is keenly disap
pointed that Rudyara Kipling did not
secure the office.
Says The Morning Post: “If Mr.
Kipling had been appointed laureate
our people in these Islands and over
seas would have understood the hon
or as expressing a national sense. We
are apt to forget that poets are of
service in the world not merely ss
delighting the ears and refining the
emotions of the cultured few*, but a*
calling like a trumpet to duty In life
and work, to the scorn of the base
and the glory of the patriot, accord
ing to the poet’s conception of base-
ness and patriotism.’’
The Pall Mall Gazette: “Mr. Kip
ling’s claim is far above that of anv
contemporary. The writer of the
’Recessional’ and of ‘If’ will be the.
laureate of the English people when
ever crisis calls for utterance, and a
world-wide empire will be his respon*
sivr. au'Menee."
The Star: “Mr. Kipling has more
poetry in his little finger than Dr
Bridges has in his whole body. To be
perfectly candid, the election of Dr.
Bridges is a tribute to pedantry, and
not to poetry. There are many living
poets whose claims are indisputably
superior to Pi is. But in this country
the path of dullness is the road
glory.”
