LONDON, Aug. 23.—The best thing in London 1b Arnold Ben nett’s ' fancy” play, "The Great Ad venture,” at the Kingsway 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 ied 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 w'ho 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 A<tventuro" she plays the part of the widow, who marries the artist whom the world Imagines to be burled in West minster Abbey. Nearly all “The Great Adventure” consists of scenes between the man and the woman, beautifully written, sympathetical ly acted, crverweeningly “natural.” The story keeps to the book pretty closely. In the beglninng you See the artist with his dying valet, cared for by a doctor. The valet dies, the artist takes his place; the valet is burled 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 music, but merely the “knocklngs” 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 it 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-in-law), 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 conceivablv 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 bi" winner. Don’t forget that it needs fine acting; that without fine acting 't has little chance with the “masses,” and—remember. I’ve said that. The hero, called in the play Ham Carv-3, was acted by Henry Ainley, who was at one time a matinee favorite. He has followed In the footsteps ■)T our own Faversham and ceased o be beautifi L He now acts and 1s addicted to character roles. As the irtist, he portrays a nervous, treamy, out-of-the-world creature, vho despises the pomnq and cere- nonies. Mr. Ainley does it all very veil. indeed, and though he ’a lelped a good deal by the splendid vork of Miss Wish Wynne, he gets it least halfv. ay th re on his own. n all, there are eighteen speaking Darts, mostly of no Importance. The entire play Is intrusted to denry Ainley and Wish Wynne. A ,'oung woman called Lydia Bll- >rr»oke is interesting. There is absolutely no point of •©semblance between “The Great Adventure” and “Milestones,” yet the former made me think of the latter all the tim\ possibly be cause they are both so out of the ordinary groov The worth of The Great Adventure” is undenia ble.

PAKIS, Aug. 2a.—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-star tour of America, is interesting. On ltB 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 bad here In 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, Wilf Probably Be Sent to Jerusalem. Special Cable to The Amerloan. LIVERPOOL, 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 singing 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. Wh^n he fell ill the doctors decid 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 mo«Jt 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. 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 i-erfume Is Subtle. ‘1 have a delicate, subtle perfume.” 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 lam 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. 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 iuve’s a red, red rose. Sne’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 Iuve’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 more 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 us e 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 1L You’re just a lot of pikers from piker- land. Why can’t you boost a poet with the glad, glad hand? You’re a bunch of beany ginks; a gang of piffiy 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 flies. Just put an egg in your goldamed shoe and beat it! Are you wise? 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.

Turkey Offers Art Treasures for Loan Even With Imperial Museum Collec tion as Security, London Financiers Shy. Special Cable to The American. 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.

Enormous Orders From Various American Republics Excite Interest in London. 8peolal Cable to The Amerloen.
