Christy Mathewson As
a Playwright.
NBW YORK, Nor. 1. Wife a real
live Irish clergyman in charge
at the rehearsals, "General John
Began," to he produced by the LieWer
company, should have a unique effect.
Not only are froeked clergy rather rare
birds in a stagelaad, bat the Eev. James
Owen Hannay, canon of St. Patrick's
cathedral, Dublin, is no ordinary Irish
man. For one .thing canon Hannay has given
Vw York a dottcKe of cold -water by
announcing that the Irish don't like red
haired women; and that with the auburn
locked maid from Erin laughing her way
across half the stages of -America!
However, the canon is giving some
crumbs of encouragement to his fellow
playwrights. He says the literary tribe
has Irish humor aft wrong hut when
they get it right they will uncover a
rich and abundant well of unsuspected
and unique jest and fancy. But I must
not forget that red-headed' question.
"Red-haired women are in the height
of fashion in England now." he says.
"Bwt we Irish have a prejudice against
women with hair of that shade. We do
not like meeting a red-haired woman
when we are setting out to do any im
portant work we turn back immediate
ly." "Indian Summer."
While -ealled melodramatic and not in
" Augastus Thomas's very beet style, "In
dian Summer" is drawing audiences to
the Criterion, where it opened Monday.
John Mason is the over-heroic hero of
the piece, an artist who -llows the world
to think him the father of a youth in
order to conceal the frailty of a friend.
The latter is the father of the girl the
artist loves. All in all there is plenty
of complication, suspense and action,
but the dialog is bright only in spots
and some of the effects are attained too
openly. '
But there is some verv pretty love
making between the artist and the
young girl who has broken her engage
ment to another man to marry him and
Moving Pictures of Heartbeats
Possible By X-Ray Photography
X
RAT photography has reached the j
instantaneous stage, and it Is
now possible to take a cinemato
graph picture showing tlw beating of
the heart in a living man. And not
only the heart, but other internal or
gans can be shown in moving shadows
upon a scrten.
When radiography was invented
photographs of the interior of the body
required exposures of several minutes,
and often a quarter of an hour. This
was found to be injurious to the sub
ject, for the X-ray have a burning and
disintegrating effect upon living tis
sues, and long exposures to them may
produce disastrous effects, or even
death.
Lour ExposHrcK Ilnrmful.
It was evident that this wonderful
discovery could not be of much use to
physicians unless means were found to
greatly shorten the time of exposure,
and so the necessary means were
sought. Improvements of the tubes in
which the rays are produced, and of the
sensitive pi&tes upon which tne photo
graphs are made, soon resulted in a
actable, shortening of tbe exposures.
They were brought down to five min
utes for the thickest parts of the body,
three minutes for the head, three min
utes for the lungs, three minutes for
the legs, two minutes for the arms and
half a minute for the hands
Cutting: Dorrn the Time.
But this was by no means sufficient.
Seconds, and fractions of seconds, must
be substituted for, minutes in order to
make safe the application of the mar
vellous rays .Jo the living subject. The
desired shortening of the time of ex
posure was obtained by means of an
appartus called a reinforcing screen.
"With this the time required to photo
graph a thigh was reduced from two
minutes to one-tenth of a second!
Then attention was turned again to
increasing the sensibility of the photo
graphic plates, and three vears ago M.
Lumiere, of Paris, succeeded in produc
ing plates which, used In conjunction
with the reinforcing screens, reduced
the time to a third or a quarter of
what it had been before".

figure both find difficultv in taking on

" "Prunella."
Dainty Miss Marguerite Clark has
never found a better setting for her
petite self than the Little theater of
Winthrop Ames and "Prunella, the
somewhat quaint drama of clowns and
old maids, in which she opened Monday
night.
Despite the guard of jealous female
relatives, who must sot have their little
girl know or be of the world, she sees
ine gay, trivial x lerroi, one ui a oauu
of mummers who invade her secluded
country home and. as an upshot, runs
away with him. She becomes tripping,
singing, iaugnmg Pierrette. $ut one
day she comes back to the broken down
and now deserted garden. Pierrot has
tired of her. She speaks some pretty
things to a statue of Love. Tben into
the fountain she falis. But she comes
out again soon enough, for Pierrot ar
rives just then and the inference is they
lived happily ever afterward. The sym
bolism is attractive, if sometimes a bit
obscure. Ernest Glendinning is Pierrot.
Laurence Housman and pranville Barker
have succeeded in writing a fine poetical
phantasy, if not a play which will dis
turb the playgoer's slumbers after see
ing it.
"The Girl and the Pennant"
Whatever the strict critics of the
drama may comment, spectators are cer
tainly stirred to enthusiasm by "The
Girl and the Pennant," the joint product
of Christy Mathewson, mentioned once
in a while on the sport page, and Rida
Johnson Young. It opened at the Lyric
theater.
There is any amount of plot and plot
ting throughout the four acts that two
rival baseball team managers threaten,
cajole and coerce, but the central, idea
of this story, woven around a young wo
man who inherits a big league organiza
tion, is the cleanliness of the national
sport.
The plav opens with a scene in the
training quarters of the Eagles in Texas,

invention oc wnat ne calls tne eclair,

tus, wnicn is employed with a Kuhm

screens, the time of exposure is re

cases, to a thousandth of a second.
Clear photographs were then made

that, for the skull, the reinforcing
screens must still be employed and the
time extended to one three- hundredth

X-ray Movlnjr pictures.
It is Dessauer's eclair method which
has rendered motion pictures of the in
ternal organs of the body possible.
This process is called cinemaradio
graphy. A special form of motion
photograph machine has been contrived
for this purpose. A series of little
photographic plates are caused to pass,
with a regulated speed, before the rajs.
The rays are produced in successive in
stantaneous flashes, each flash coin
ciding with the passing of a plate, but
occupying only a very slight fraction
of the Ume that the plate is in posi
tion. Thus while a. considerable snare
cf time riav be occi.p:.u in the passage
of the entire series of plates the organ
that is be;ng photographed is exposed
to the ras all told, for only a second
or so, and no harm results.
The Heart Action.'
Different organs require various de
grees of speed in the passage of the
successive plates in order that their
moements may be clearly reproduced.
Thus one or two plates per second suf
fice for radiographing the movements
of the stomach and the intestines, but
the action of the heart is so quick that
not less than five exposures per sec
ond must be made, and a greater num
ber is des rable, and will, unquestion
ably, be attained.
The time is plainly coming when we
shall see upon a. screen the entire in

Some of the effects are particularly

glee as Copley comes to the fore, and
then sees a wild disorder of players and

an old medieval castle, with magnifi

was locked up, the gates and hedges
have been fitted with everv conceiv
able system of metallic networ'. to t
prevent his escape. All these castle
rooms are furnished magnificently, but
have not been used for 40 years. The
king and two medical attendants oc

of the building. The king himself has
only a bedroom, which he shares with
one of the doctors in attendance and
a herculean valet, who always carries
a loaded revolver ready for an emer
'gency. '
An atmosphere of deep gloom pre
vails in those apartments, where one
can hardly detect any proofs of the fact
that a ' royal personage, or even a
sane person is living there. One sees
no book, no pen, nothing that can in
ahy way convey the idea of Intel
lectual work. On the king's "work

of women.
Is Admirer of Canada.
Canada has no more ardent admirer
than lady Rosemary Leveson-Gower,
daughter of the late duke of Suther
land. She accompanied her father on
his last trip to his possessions in the
Dominion over the sea and came back
a confirmed Canadian booster. Fre
quently she expresses the hope that
some day she may be able to spend
a long time on the Sutherland ranch,
and declares nothing would suit her
better than to make her home there.
She is one of the most attractive girls
of the moment. Sho has the Rosslyn
personality, and that spells charms.
But she Is not a bit keen on young
men, and won't say "How d'ye do" to
them unless they are clever. The
names of the number she has already
rejected would fill a volume. Like most
heiresses, she Is apt to suspect that
men have an eye on her fortune, and
this is combined with a good dash of
the Scotch caution that was so char
acteristic of her late father.
Queen Helps Oldest Subject.
Queen Mary Is much interested In
the condition of Mrs. Rebecca Clark,
of "Wood Green, who is said to be her
majesty's oldest subject. She is 109
years old. Her only means of support
Is the old age pension, the members
of her family being unable to render
her assistance. Her two sons, the
youngest of whom is 68 are prevented
by asre from obtaining other than
1 casual employment. The "Wood Green
i council recently issued an appeal in
enaii or tne veneraoie woman, wnen
It was brought to the attention of her
majesty, she promptly took steps to
supply her with comfort the balance
of her days.
Czar's Brother Join Colony.
The English colony of royal semi
exiles has received a recruit in the
person of grand duke Michael, brother
of tbe czar. He must not be confound
ed with his uncle, the grand duke
Michael, whose marriage to countess
Torby, caused, his practical exile from
Russia. The czar's brother is leaving
Russia for the same reason. He mar
ried out of his class. He has taken
Knebworth the seat of the Syttons,
and promises to be a figure in society.
The empress Marie at was who suggest
ed that the grand duke Michael should
visit England, acountry she likes bet
ter now than was the case years ago.
She has'glven up meddling in the state
affairs in Russia, although she is still
looked unon with suspicion as a re-
actionalist, but I hear that she i3 ,
very actively encouraging the idea,
that the nrince of "Wales should be
reserved for the grand duchess Ta
tiana. Someone will have to do his
love making for him. unless he alters

most morbid horror of the opposite
sex. I do not know from whence he
Inherits it, for if all one hears is true,

were so afflicted.
Is Interested In the Stage.
In this connection I hear the prince
is becoming deeply interested in the
stage, not in the stage women, but
In the plays. In this at least he takes
after his grandfather, who always was
fond of the drama.
It may not be generally known that
king Edward when prince of Wale3
actually trod the boards as an actor.
It was when he was In Paris back in
the early 88s. He was at that time a
great admirer of Sarah Bernhardt, who
was then playing Fedora. The prince
remarked to the divine Sarah that he
would like to be a real actor. "Why
not?" she. asked quickly. It ended In
his taking the part for one perform
ance of Vlademir, and he did it well.
I was permitted to go through these
rooms where the sad solitude is popu
lated only by male servants in mag
nificent royal livery. "When I reached
the gardens I finally saw the king
himself, but had to take care at first
that Ho should not see me, lest he have
a fit of fury at the sight of a stranger.
Since he has been at Furstenried. king
Otto has seen nobody except doctors
and servants, although several royal
personages have been permitted to ob
serve him." Permission has never been
granted t writer.
Is Sot Like a Madman.
King Otto, when you look at him
from a distance, is not like a mad man
at all. He is big and athletic, with a
long white beard, carefully groomed.
He wears a dark brown suit, cut "like
a military uniform. Instead of a col
lar, he wears a black woolen jersey.
He very seldom wears any kind of
headgear. "When you approach him
and look into his eyes you can see
his case is hopeless, for while as far
as his physical person is concerned
the king is sound enough, his brain
has stopped forever, and his eyes look
like those of a dead man: His glance
is purely animal. He speaks little and
only, when hungry. Then he shrieks:
"essen, gleich essen." He has no spe
cial diet except that he is forbidden
alcoholic drinks. He especially loves
fruit. ,
Hoyal Usajrc Still Observed.
Strangely enough, near this mad
majesty a sort of royal usage is still
observed. None of the medical as
sistants are allowed to speak to him
unless spoken to. or asked for some
thing; so days pass without a word
heard in the solitary castle of Fur
stenried. "It is not right to drive anybody
mad " I was told by the personage
showing me.
"That is why a medical staff had to
be engaged for the king. It is im
possible to leave him without medical
attendance for a minute lest something
tragic should happen. We now have
that may become serious.
