LONDON, Aug. 23.—The best thing in London is Arnold Ben nett’s “fancy” play, “The Great Ad venture,” at the Klngsway Thea ter. This could be construed Into meaning very little, or even noth ing, for the paucity of dramatic material In London at the present time is sending American managers home discouraged. However, I’ll hasten to say that “The Great Ad venture” could hold Its own in a season filled with pleasure-giving theatrical events. It Is delightful; It is cozy; it is sedately humorous, and it is clever. There is no allusion at all on the program or in the published play to the fact that “The Great Adven ture” is Arnold Bennett’s own dra matization of his own novel, “Bur ned Alive”—a story that I shunned for ages on account of its grewsome title, only to find anon that it was a skittish, satirical and gorgeously amusing storiette. The play at the Kingsway is “Buried Alive,” made Into a short, pithy and Incidental four-act play. It contains an actress who is so admirable, so unusual and so dis tinctly enjoyable in London, where one gets the same old fogies year in and year out, that the occasion be comes doubly interesting. That, ac tress is Miss Wish Wynne, and I use her Christian name with all my heart In connection with an ap pearance In America. Wish Wynne is one of those peculiar women who seem to arrive suddenly on their sheer merits. She is no beauty; she Is pictorially quite uninterest ing. If you met her before she had tried the stage, you would say to her. “Keep away from it; you’ve no chance, because you are such an ordinary looker.” But Wish Wynne Is charming. She is quiet, “natural,” artistic and magnetic. She “gets’* you. You can’t imagine that you are watch ing an actress acting. There is nothing of the theater in her man ner. Yet, of course, it Is all thea ter. Only art, and art of the high est order, could get Wish Wynne over the footlights. In “The Great Adventure” she plays the part of the widow, who marries the artist whom the world Imagines to be buried in West minster Abbey. Nearly all “The Great Adventure” consists of scenes between the man and the woman, beautifully written, sympathetical ly acted, overweeningly “natural.” The story keeps to the book pretty closely. In the beginlnng you see the artist with his dying valet, cared for by a doctor. The valet dies, the artist takes his place; the valet is buried as the artist, and the artist lives to begin all over again. Each of the four acts is divided into two scenes, separated by a passage of time, more or less short. Electric signs appear between the scenes, indicating how much time elapses. It Is all most concise and to the point. At the Kingsway there is no ipusic, but merely the “knockings” that prevail at French theaters. I think that a pity. Al though entr’acte music is detest able and inartistic, I loathe those French knockings. They sound so barbaric. Why should London imi tate such a stupid custom when U would be so easy to think up some thing novel and relevant? The weakest spot in “Th« Great Adventure” occurs when the artist is confronted with his dead valet’s widow and curate-sons. This, of couse, is broad farce. Played as quiet comedy, It doesn’t convince; in fact, it irritates. Although it is very well done, and the curate-sons are amusing (curates on the stage have really taken the jocular place of mothers-ln-Iaw). it is a jarring note in such a gentle and placidly ironic little play as “The Great Ad venture.” The Philistinism of England is shown in Arnold Bennett’s best vein, and Mr. Bennett raps his own country, as “own countries” always are rapped by their affectionate children. This is as it should be. Only a man who knows a country by being born In it can rap it. The stickler for stodgv plays will, of course, say that “The Great Ad venture” is absu.d and improbable; that no such series of events could conceivably occur. Yet It contains truth, sincerity and reality—In spite of all. I loved it all, from start to finish, and if only it isn’t spoiled by a second-rate cast in New York, it ought to be a hi" winner. Don’t forget that it needs fine acting; that without fine acting it has little chance Hlth the “masses,” and—remember, I’ve said that. The hero, called In the play Ilam Carve, was acted by Henry Ainley, who was at one time a matinee favorite. He has followed in the footsteps of our own Faversham and ceased to be beautifu 1 . He now acts and is addicted to character roles. As the artist, he portrays a nervous, dreamy, out-of-the-world creature, who despises the pom^s and cere monies. Mr. Ainley does it all very well. indeed, and though he <s helped a good deal by the splendid work of Miss Wish Wynne, he gets at least halfway th re on his own. In all, there are eighteen speaking parts, mostly cf no importance.' The entire play is Intrusted to Henry Ainley and Wish Wynne. A young woman called Lydia Bll- Lrooke is interesting. There is absolutely no point of resemblance between “The Great Adventure” and "Milestones.” yet the former made me think of the hitter all the timp. possibly be cause they are both so out of the ordinary groov The worth . of •The Great Adventure” is undenia- Also Is One of the Cleverest of Parisiennes; Her Scheme to Advertise a Perfume. Special Cable to The American. PARIS, Aug. 23.—Polaire, the dancer and actress, who declares that she is the ugliest woman in Paris, and who is recognized generally as one of the cleverest, will soon be on her way to New York with her origi nal perfume, her Ideas about jewelry and her stuffed pig. The pig is ugly, but like its owner, who will join Gertrude Hoffman and Lady Constance Stewart-Richardson in a great three-atar tour of America, is interesting. On its ungraceful neck the dancer places her jewels, for she declares that is the appropriate place for gems. Has Two Life Missions. Polaire’s idea caused much com ment. Those who had Jewels scowled; those who did not laugned, but Po laire believes she has two missions in life. One is to dance and the other to explain that jewels are best used to adorn a pig. “I certainly shall take my pig to America,” she said recently. “I be lieve I shall have as much reason to show it there as I have had here 'n Paris, and as I had in other places ’n Europe. “Perhaps It will do no good. I have only my art to consider; I have no room for jewels. My pig is welcome to them.” Incidentally Polaire has demanded Leper Sings Ragtime In His Confinement Dahab Hassan, Syrian, Depored From Philadelphia, Will Probably Be Sent to Jerusalem. Special Cable to The American. UVEHPOOL Aug:. 23. — Dahab Hassan, the Syrian leper who arrived here from Philadelphia on the Do minion, has been detained at the New Ferry isolation hospital, where he spends his time singring ragtime. Ac cording to his story Hassan left England a year ago and proceeded to Cleveland. Ohio, where he did work in a tobacco factory. When he fell ill the doctors derid ed he was smitten with leprosy, fol lowing which discovery the American ■authorities deported him. During the voyage to this country Hassan was naturally a most unpop ular passenger with the crew, which was ba.lly scared and gave him a wide berth, notwithstanding the fact that there was no danger from infec tion. He will likely be sent to Je rusalem, his native city. MORE BULLS DEMANDED AFTER EIGHTEEN ARE SLAIN Special Cable to The American. MADRID. Aug. 23.—After a feu- hour bull fight at Santander. in which eighteen hulks were slaughtered, th^ 10,000 spectators noisily demanded that more bulls be brought into th' 1 ring and killed. The Mayor of th* town and local police had great diffi culty in persuading the audience ,o leave the arena. Twenty horses wer- killed. Several of the pkadois sver. wounded, one of them s riously. of her American managers, Comstock & Gest, that no one but she in the three-star tour shall use perfume of any kind on the stage, the train or elsewhere. She says she will refuse to leave France unless she has this guarantee. Her rerfume Is Subtle. "I have a delicate, subtle perfilme.” she declares. “No one else can pur chase or use It. It is so delicate that any other scent would interfere with my enjoyment of it, and unless I am assured that Miss Hoffman and Lady Constance will use no perfume at all, I can not consent to go to America.” It is said ■that Polaire has a con tract with a Paris perfumer who is to pay her 25,000 francs to advertise n the United states an “exclusive” per fume he will soon put on the market. Ex-Premier Clemenceau’s new pa per. L’Homme Libre, gives this week a solution of a problem which has been puzzling all Paris: Why has Polaire started the extraordinary fashion of wearing a gold ring in her nose at a well-known watering place? Mile. Polaire declares, according to the paper, that she adopted the Zulu style in jewelry simply In order to avoid being again billed in New York, as “the ugliest woman on earth.” Now, she says, American managers are simply bound to feature her as “the only living actress who wears a ring in her nose.” Girl Halts Attempt To Rob State Lottery Screams of Clerk Alarm Pedestrians When Italian Thief Tries to Chloroform Her. Special Cable to The American. MILAN, Aug. 23.—It was only by the slightest chance that a bold rob bery of one of the State lottery offices was averted the other day. A young fellow entered the office and asked tq purchase some tickets. While the young woman clerk was writing the number on the tickets the man sud denly tried to throw a bottle of chlo roform in her face. She recoiled and screamed, and the man ran out of the office. Her screams had attracted attention and several men started in pursuit of the man. A university student grasped the fugitive as he ran down the street brandishing a revolver. Th«- student was shot in the face by the fugitive, who dashed into a cafe. Just as the pursuers were closing In on him he ended his life with his pistol. GONDOLAS OF VENICE GIVE WAY TO MOTOR LAUNCHES Special Cable to The American. VENICE, Aug. 23.—Stubborn resist ance on the part of the Venetian boat men to modern means of locomotion on the Grand Par.al seems about to be overcome by the formation of a co-operative association among the gondoliers. This body is providing a public service of motor launches between lhe railway station and the Adriatic shore. Americanese Puts “Punch” in Poetry, According to One English Admirer. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Aug. 23.—The American language, says a writer in the Lon- % don Daily Express, is developing a new literature which Is Imaginative, metaphoric and full of color, besides being the time-saving device of the age. It is the shorthand of spoken languages. Precisely what is this remarkable language? he asks. Some one de fined cauliflower as plain cabbage with a college education. In the same way it may be said that American is simply th e well-known slang with a university training, it is super slang. To illustrate, let us take a word which is a marvel of condensed de scription. Suppose I wanted to say of a man that he was clumsy, futile, helpless and undesirable; that he was slovenly in his manner and shabby in his dress; that he was intellectually Insignificant and spiritually nil; that he never minded his own business and meddled with every one else’s; that his presence was an abomination to me—if I wanted to say all this, and a little bit more, I should merely de clare that he was a “gink.” It is this pregnant, compact quality which especially recommends Ameri can for poetic use. Ragging the “Red, Red Rose.” Suppose Robert Burns had writ ten his exquisite “Red, Red Rose” in American instead of English. For tenderness in the exaltations of a loved one, American is unrivaled. Witness; O my luve’s a red, red rose. She’s a pippin, she’s Just rippin’, she’s a bear! She can turkey-trot and tango. She’s a quince, O she’s a mango, She’s the candy kid for fair. Are you there? O my luve’s like a red, red rose, Just take it from me, kid, she’s a dream, she’s a scream. Pipe her in her glad rags there. I should worry! She’s a bear! She’s all peaches and cream. Get a gleam! And would not Byron's “Maid of Athens’’ be infinitely mo r expressive in American? Maid of Athens, ere I beat it. Give me back my heart—I need it. Cut, O cut that taffy, please! Stop your teasin’, Quit the squeezin’. I implore you on my knees. I’ll admit you got me going And my love for you is growing, But ’s enough, kid. Call the bluff, kid. I’ve got your number and I’m wise, There’s no use your making eyes. Not only In the language of love is American so rich. It can be mellifluous or bitter, as you wish. It can express hatred as eloquently as affection, and that is more than can be said of English. Byron was severely handicapped whe nhe wrote his critcism of Scotch reviewers. Slanging Byron's Diatribe. How infinitely more stinging he could have been had he had the average Yankee’s knowledge of Amer ican. You two-for-a-nlckel Scotch review ers, You’re nothing but a bunch of brew ers. You’ve got my goat, but by Hank! you'll rue It. , I’m on the job and I’ll beat you to It You’re Just a lot of pikers from piker- land. Why can’t you boost a poet with the glad, glad band? You’re a bunch of beany ginks; a gang of piffly gooks. You gollywobble, runty-punty, lolly- pop spooks! You’ve missed your right vocations; You’d have been Just simply grand As nifty engineers of Antonio’s pea nut stand. So fade away. Beat it! Twenty- three! You’re full of files. Just put an egg In your goldarned shoe and beat it! Are you wise? Board of Experts Sent by Ad miralty to Spend Six Months in This Country. Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Aug. 23.—England is troubled by the superior conditions of lower-deck life in the United States Navy as compared with the British. The admiralty has decided to send a board consisting of Vice Admiral Williams, Fleet Surgeon Munday and E. N. Mooney, of the Royal Corps of Naval Constructors, to spend 3ix weeks In America, chiefly at New port and the New York Navy Yard. They will begin with studying the system of ventilation in United States battleships. The visit ought to have practical results for British sailors. The Orl m class carry a complement of 800. The Wyoming carries 1,115. If the Navy Department at Wash»- ington can get 316 more men into a ship on an increase of nine feet more length, five feet more beam and one foot more draught, and at the same time house and sleep them much bet ter, the British constructor has cer tainly something to learn. KAISER SANCTIONS BETS ON AEROPLANE CONTESTS Special Cable to The American. BERLIN, Aug. 23.—One of the Ger man State governments has decided to give official sanction to betting on aeroplane contests. The State gets a percentage of the stakes on all bets. The chief objections thus far raised come from the aviators themselves, who point out It will be impossible io tell whether or not the aeroplane Is “being pulled” or driven at top speed. To Discard Freckles, Tan, Pimples, Wrinkles (From Feminine World.) The use of creams on the face some times causes hair to grow. You can avoid the risk of acquiring superfluous hair by avoiding cosmetics and using mercollzed wax instead There is noth ing better for any condition of the skin, as the wax actually absorbs the offen sive cuticle. The lattei is naturally re placed by a clear, smooth, healthy com plexion, full of life and expression. It’s the sens!bio way to discard a freckled, tanned, over-red, blotchy or pimpled skin. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at any druggist’s and apply nightly like cold cream erasing in trie morning with soap and water. It takes a week or so to complete *the transformation. The ideal wrinkle eradicator is made by dissolving an ounce of powdered sax- olite in a half pint of witch hazel.

LONDON, Aug. 23.—Turkey has been trying to raise a loan in Lon don, offering as security the antique treasures in the Imperial Museum at Constantinople. The security evidently Is not appre ciated, for so far the loan has not materialized. That Turkey is willing to pledge her treasures proves how dire are her financial straits, for the Imperial Museum is one of her most Jealously guarded possessions. The Turkish Government has in creased the collections without cost, as archaeologists have been allowed to work in the Holy Land only on condition that they sent their finds to the museum.

Baron De Forest was the adopted son of ’he late Baron Hlrsch, the multi-millionaire, who purchased for his protege an Austrian title, mar ried the pretty sister of I^ord Gerald, who, three years ago, eloped with a yo jng guardsman. Then began a wild chase of the fugitive pair. The en tire sympathy of society was with the erring wife.

BUYING MG IN [ Enormous Orders From Various American Republics Excite Interest in London. Special Cable to The Amerioan. LONDON, Aug. 23.—Considerable Interest has been aroused in cer tain quarters In London by the fact that various South American Re publics are placing in England and on the Continent contracts for enor mous amounts of arms and ammu nition. Within the last few weeks an ag gregate of 500,000 rifles, with a-cor responding amount of ammunition, has been placed on order, while, so far as two of the Republics are con cerned, inquiries are still In progress regarding the supply of new artillery. An agent of the Uruguayan Gov ernment has arrived In London for the purchase of military transports.

Italian Lake Plays At Hide and Seek Waters Disappear Every 20 Years Through Hole in Center, Then Appear Again. Special Cable to The American. ROME. Aug. 23—Italian scientists and expert hydrographers are again puzzled by the sudden disappearance of the waters of Lake Canterno, not far from Rome, while the population of the district Is in mortal fear of some Imminent catastrophe. The lake has been playing hide and seek with the villagers from time im memorial. The records show that ev ery twenty years the waters recede through a large hole in the middle of the lake bed. Where the waters go constitutes the mystery which has so far baffled scientists. The fish dis appear and return with the water. According to a local legend, the wa ter disappears every time an acci dent happens in the neighborhood of the lake. Two boys drowned there recently.

ODESSA, Aug. 23.—The American’s reputation as being always ready for a fight while traveling abroad has been rivaled here by a young Eng lishman who grasped the wrist of a pickpocket when he detected the lat ter stealing a woman’s purse in a street car.

This aroused the English man’s ire and he struck the man a smashing blow on the nose, causing that member to bleed profusely. The man was taken to court and sentenced to six months’ imprison ment, and the Englishman, who de clined to give his name, was compli mented by the Magistrate. Powers Anxious to Seize Turkey in Asia Cfngland, by Proposed Partition, Gets Arabia—Austria Hasn’t Staked Claim Yet. Special Cable to * r he American. LONDON, Aug. 23.—The great powers have been secretly discussing the eventual partition of Turkey In Asia recently, the main lines of which are now clear. Arabia would go to Great Britain, Armenia to Russia, Syria to France and Anatolia to Germany. Italy, of course, has Tripoli and will probably receive a few of the Aegean Islands. Austro-Hungary, alone of the great powers, has not staked out a claim, and to prevent her being left out, It has been semously proposed to give her the Holy Land. When the ambitions and jealous ies of the powers are stirred up by the partition of Turkey in Asia, a new and more serious danger than the Balkan affair will threaten the peace of Euroi**. Brilliant Young English Com poser’s Harmonies Have Cre ated Furor in London. Special Cable to The American.
