Th opening of the Ilelasco Theatre,
whloh took plnoo last night, 1 always
an event of Importance In tho theatrical
life of the city. Mr, Belasco, nt once
manager and producer In tho sense that
the designation used to bo understood,
has accustomed the public to finding
behind his footlights tho finest achieve
ments In the art of tlvo native theatre.
But his record needs no repetition here,
although there are few Incidents which
afford the Now York public so much
oause for pride as the thought that this i
playhouse, with all that It represents,
la altogether a metropolitan Institution.
Jir. Utlaeco licgan tho present year
with an essay In a field In which ho
has not always been so happy ns In
some others. "Tho Boomerang," which
Wlnoholl Smith and Victor Mapcs wroto
for him, Is a comedy. Thero ure among
Mr. Delasco's many admirers some who
v)ue more his effort In the serious
drama. It Is In this field that his great
est successed have been won. Hut there
was first the Intorcst attached to such
a novel opening for the plu house.
How the IloomrmiiK Works.
The boomerang which the Joyful
Australian hurts through the air some
time recoils on tho person who starts It
in motion The application of the title
to the subject matter of tho pl.iy may
be gathered from a recital of Its In
cidents. To a young physician conies a
g.rl, not in search of treatment, ilh he
td hoKl, but louxlng for work, and
the Is installed as h'-n nurse. Another
vitor is k real patient, brought by his
mother, who cannot tell what alls him.
But the physician, whosu profcrcdon Is
to discover what alls his patients, soon
detects symptoms of such Jealousy as
to be expllcablo as the cause of all his
visitor's ll!ncs. Evidently the object of
his patient' affection does not recipro
cate. She Is Indeed Interested In a cer
tain other person. It lfl tho doctor's
theory that she should be made Jealous
and, thus grow to return the love of the
man who has becom-j 111 on hor account.
So he sends along the new uurso In
order that she may not as tho antidote
and cause tho Indifferent beloved to
grow Jealous. All these, incidents hap
pen In the office of the young doctor.
The prescription proves ierfectly
lilted to tho cose. But It has a second
ary effect which Is not at all a p.irt of
the doctor's plans. He falls violently In
Jove with the young woman who has
done so much to make his patient un
happy, lie Is Just us Jealous of the
young man In whom she takes an In
terest as his patient was. Hut he Is
lesv unhappy, since he succeeds, after
the sufferings that come from his own
Jealousy, In winning the young woman
whom his patient lovod. Tho patient,
now cured, gets the nurse as h! lot; so
there Is no ground for unhapptness on
his part The second act passes In the
living room of this young woman's house
and the third returns to tho otllco.
Full of the Spirit of Youth.
The usual first night nudlenoe, which
Included rnost of the theatre's celebri
ties not nt present occupied In theatres
of their own, took the greatest delight
in me new comwly of Mr. Smith and
Mr. Mspes. The play Is In Its present
form too long for Its content. Hut tint
did not Interfere with the enjoyment
of tho 8ectators.
The new work la full of the spirit
of youth ; Its scenes ure cleverly devised
and there Is much In Its treatment of
the question of medical practice which
will arial to the public. Iloth Mr.
Mapes and Mr. Smith, who had to thank
the audience after the second act. arc
experienced In their Held and to their
kill was added Sir. Ilelasco's ability
to present a play of this or any other
Wjd. Indeed tho acting of tho principal
rous was uncommonly line.
Wallace Kddlnger. as the Invalid, who
had to have his body treated when only
nls emotions were affected; Arthur
Hymn, as the doctor who found his first
Patient and looked nfter him so success
fully, and Iluth Bhcpley as the flirtatious
beloved, were ndmlruble, Martha Hed
man's acting as the nurse was full of
charm and distinction.
The evening was one to bring com
plete satisfaction to the plnywtights, to
Mr. Ilelasco and above all to the public,
"hlch Is after all the most Important
lenient to be considered.

PRINCE HAS 28 CENTS
TO PAY OFF $35,542
Piirnntcllt d'Arnpon, Faclnpr
lliir Judgment, FIIch Hank
ruptcy Petition.
WAS MARIUEI) TN SPRING
Prlnro I.udovlro Plgnntellt d'Armron,
formerly of Sp.itn. but now nf Merrick,
1.. I filed a petition In bankruptcy In
Brooklyn yesterday, setting forth that
his llabllltlrM lire I3S.S42.32 and Ms ns-
Mli JSS7.2S, of which 28 cent are in
cash. It Ih understood lis went Into
bankruptcy with the approval of his
father-in-law, O. Jason Waters of Phil
adelphia, whose daughter, Iluth Morfin
Waters, ho wedded at th Church of
St. Ignatius Loyola In this city on May
4 without tlio knowledge of or consent
of hor parents.
Tho Prince's financial troubles are due
to a series of unfortunate accidents and
Incidents that started when an automo
bile ha was driving ho has long been
fond of autotnobltlng collided with a
machine owned by Kdward It. O'Connell
ncnf tho Merrick bridge early on the
morning of July 10, 1914, Mr. O'Connell
died of his Injuries several days later
and Mrs. Alice P. O'Connell, as eecu
trlx of her husband's estate, obtained
a verdict of 115,000 damages against the
Prlnco In the Supreme Court at Mlneola
on Jun lt last.
A Judgment of close to $16,000, Includ
ing costs, was entored and the Prince
hoped to bo able to satisfy It, but re
mittances which ho had been receiving
from a relative In the old country were
stopped becauso of the war and he fopnd
himself without mentis. He heard
threuts had been made to cause his ar
rest on a body attachment because of
his Inability to satisfy the Judgment
ns.d proceeded to take advantage of tha
bankruptcy laws.
No Mnrrlngr Settlement.
A friend of the Prince said yesterday
that Plguatelll Is a very democratic and
lovable young man, who by reason of his
early training, or rather lack of It, has
found It extremely dltllcult to earn a
living. Ho has always lived In afflu
ence. At one time he thought nothing of
sptndlng 11,000 to entertain his friends
at a single dinner. He can drive an au
tomobile with great skill, can operato an
aeroplano and shoot to perfection, but
he hasn't shown any special skill In mak
ing American dollars with his brains or
his hands.
When the Prince secretly married Ml
Waters there was no marriage settlement,
and PUnatelH's friend says, none was
expected. The young pair were forgiven
by Miss Waters's parents and more than
mice tho Prince has attended social af
fairs at his wife's former home. It Is
said he tried to Interest her family In
a plan-lo prosecute an appeal from Mrs.
O'Connell's Judgment, believing he could
upset the verdict, but they took kindly
only to the suggestion that he go
through bankruptcy.
In the bankruptcy petition, which waa
(lied on the Prince's behalf by John Pat
terson, a lawjer of 43 Cedar street, the
O'Connell Judgment was the largest
single liability listed. Contingent lla
bllltles of $7,&00 are represented by suits
pending as a result of the same acci
dent In which Mr. O'Connell met his
dtath. Other liabilities are (1.926.44 to
the Bltz-Carlton for hotel accommoda
tions In January, 1313, 1208.14 tTJ? B,
Sherwood for can hire, &c. and 10,302
to the Ktnplre State Furniture Company
for furniture.
Anuria I3numerfitrd.
The assets Include, besides the 28 cents
In cash, fourteen suits of clothes, three
overcoats, forty shirts and a few other
articles of nppnrel and K00 due on open
accounts for tho Prince's services as a
broker. The .Item of 700 alleged to be
dun him discloses the fact that the
Prince attempted to make a living by
executing private sales for personal
friends.
In 1512 It was reported that tha
Prince was engaged to marry Mlse Mary
I,. Duke, dauuhler of Benjamin Duke
of New York and Durham, N. C. but
this was denied nt the time by Miss
Duke's parents. In 1911 the Prince tried
to kill himself In Paris, the cables said
at the time, because he had been Jilted
by an American girl.
