2 THE DAILY RECORD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1909 No. 1,172. BERLIN THE ENGLISH THEATRE TOUR. SPECIAL INTERVIEW. (From our Berlin Correspondent.) Mme. Ming’s “English Theatre’' Company at the Neues Schauspielhaus continues to be well-patronised by the English and American Colonies, and a “thin, bored line of Germans,” to parody Kipling s famous line. Perhaps the parody is a little unkind, for the Germans who attend, assuredly in very sparse num bers, show themselves interested and curious, and laugh at most of the points, readily if not hilariously. It was interesting to notice the clearly-defined distri bution of the various nationalities in the audience at the second production, on Saturday night, of “She Stoops to Conquer.” The sight or nine front rows were almost exclusively filled with Americans; then a broad band of vacant seats; finally, under the gal leries, the Germans, while English people chiefly pa tronised the circles. On the whole it was a poorly filled house. The “English Theatre” company are, to say the least of it, keenly disappointed at the wretched Press notices which have been doled out to them by Berlin’s critos. Mr. Herbert Greville, the stage-manager of the English company, in an interview with the Daily Record correspondent, expressed himself most forcibly to this effect. Particularly in reference to the cri ticisms of “She Stoops to Conquer,” the English Com pany, Mr. Greville feels, has been unfairly handled, largely owing, he affirms, to the German lack of proper understanding for the 18th century comedy. The German critics, Mr. Greville points out, are apparently entirely ignorant of the fact that quite a different style of acting is customary in presenting English plays of the date of “She Stoops to Conquer,” in which it is usual to adhere as closely as possible to the traditional lines of a century or two ago. “Here is not darkness, but ignorance,” said the Vossisciie Zeitung critic, quoting Shakespeare in polite reference to the general acting and stage-management in “She Stoops to Conquer.” “Here is not darkness, but ignor ance,” Mr. Greville would like to retort, in reference both to the Vossisc/ie's condescending criticism of Goldsmith’s classic comedy itself as well as of the English company’s methods of presenting it. As to the same paper’s suggestion that the English company consisted of a “troop of miserable co medians who have no chance to appear in England,” Mr. Greville furnishes the Daily Record with the fol lowing data regarding the company’s stage-connections in England. Mr. Greville himself, by the way, has been connected for more than twenty years with well known English dramatic companies, including Mr. Har rison’s and Mr. Cyril Maude’s at the Haymarket. Miss Ethel Dane (Mrs. Cyril Keathley) who played Miss Neville in “She Stoops to Conquer,” was until lately one of the most popular members of Mr. Ben son’s company; Mr. Geo. Desmond (Tony Lumpkin) is at the present moment connected with Mr. Jas. Welsh’s company; Mr. Cecil Ward has had a wide experience of American and Australian audiences, and in connection with Mr. .Boucicault is chief stage-man ager and producer for Mr. Charles Frohman in Lon don ; Mr. Richard Lambart has been long connected with Sir Charles Wyndham’s company ; Miss Rosa lind Ivan has frequently toured with Mrs. Patrick Campbell and Miss Olga Nethersole in the States; Mr. Edward Bonfield is a player at the Adelphi, London; and Miss Mayne Young was understudying Miss Marion Terry in “Peter’s Mother” throughout last season. The Vossische Zeitung obviously put its foot in it by stating that Mme. Illing’s company of actors had been recruited from the ranks of the unemployed. With all desire, however, to show to Mme. Illing’s “English Theatre” that courtesy which has been de nied it by the German Press, even the humble voice of the Daily Record must be raised in regretful pro test against the general inferiority of the English ensemble. Undeniably it is not a “first-rate show,” or calculated, as the German papers point out, to enhance the artistic reputation of England. “She Stoops to Conquer,” for example, is worthy of a different presentation,—that old-world comedy round which the flavour of life among the English country gentry of two centuries ago should linger far more convincingly. As character studies, most of the roles were disappointingly taken, always emphatically ex cepting that of the exuberant Tony Lumpkin. Mr. Dalziel Heron fell far short of his opportunities as Squire Hardcastle, the English country gentleman who, by the very intensity of his old-fashioned aristocracy, ought to mark the absurdity of his involuntary role as inn-keeper. Miss Violet Greville as Mrs. Hardcastle gave as conventional a reading to the role as Miss Grace Noble was tame in her portrayal of mischiev ous, bewitching Kate Hardcastle.

(Continued.) “'CONSTANTINOPLE, Tuesday.—The Chamber of Deputies yesterday discussed the amalgamation of the British and Ottoman shipping companies in Meso potamia. The Grand Vizier finally declared that the Government regarded this fusion as advantageous for the national interests. A vote of confidence in the Government was then adopted. The Government was subsequently empowered to work-out a bill provid ing for the granting of concessions in regard to the amalgamation, but not binding Turkey to any financial obligations, this bill to become law with out necessitating the endorsement of Parliament. SANTIAGO DE CHILE, Tuesday.—A destructive fire broke out last night and destroyed the commercial centre of Valdivia. The conflagration, which is hot yet extinguished, is causing immense damage. WASHINGTON, Tuesday.—According to a tele graphic despatch received by the State Department, the Mexican Government has decided to send a gun boat to Corinto (Nicaragua) to guard Mexican inter ests. NEW YORK, Tuesday.—According to a report from Managua, just received here, a battle has taken place between the Government troops under President Ze- laya and the revolutionist forces near Rama, both armies sustaining many casualties. A rumour is circu lating that Zelaya himself was captured during the fight, but this is not yet confirmed. BERLIN, Tuesday.—The company meeting of the Alkali Syndicate held here yesterday conferred upon the augmented executive council power to regulate the American matter and arrive at a binding decision with the works at Aschersleben and Sollstedt, on condition that this decision is unanimously approved and rati fied. The augmented executive council registered its approval of this agreement without a dissentient vote. Gch. Justizrat Kempner, and Directors Bielmann and Schmidtmann, are leaving for the United States today to further conduct the negotiations, CHEMNITZ, Tuesday.—At 10 o’clock last night a terrible automobile disaster occurred on the Leipzig chaussee in the vicinity of Borna. An automobile collided with a heavy dray so violently that the ma chine was shattered to fragments, the chauffeur being killed on the spot. The owner of the car was badly hurt, while the driver of the cart escaped with, a shock. BEUTHEN, Tuesday.—Mrs. Siepenberg, a New York lady who was recently attacked and robbed in an express train, has identified a man arrested here as her assailant. LONDON, Tuesday.—Sir Alfred L. Jones, manag ing director of the Elder Dempster Steamship Com pany and one of the leading members of the British Cotton-growing Association, has died at Liverpool. (We may mention that the telegram received by us announcing this death calls the deceased gentleman “Sir Alfred John.” Still yet once more! Ed.) PARIS, Tuesday.—The Court Martial of Le Mans has sentenced the 21-year-old Count Quinionas to one month’s imprisonment for desertion, this light sen tence being due to the time the count was in custody NEW YORK, Tuesday.—A New York Central ex press train collided with a freight train near Erie today, four persons being killed and nine dangerously hurt. BRUSSELS, Tuesday.—According to a bulletin is sued at 2 p.m., the condition of King Leopold is com pletely satisfactory. He bore the operation well, and the physicians express themselves quite satisfied with the result. (From our correspondent.) NEW YORK.—Hoping for better luck, Sir Thomas Lipton will build what he calls a “four-leafed” Shamrock as challenger for the America Cup. This is in case the New York Yacht Club accepts the challenge which he will formally forward toit in due time for a contest in 1911. Should it not accept for a cup race, there is likely to be a race, with the cup not the prize. Sir Thomas^ before sailing for home on the Lusitania, admitted that he would seek for more favourable conditions than hitherto. “I intend to challenge for 1911,” said Sir Thomas. “It would not be practicable to do so for next year, as I have engaged to race around the Irish coast. I could not ask the New York Yacht Club to accept a challenge under the stipulations I would like to make. But I will go ,as far as seems just, and I believe the holders of the cup will do what is righlt and fair, under the restrictions they are bound by in the ‘deed of gift.’ New York yachtsmen would race under the old terms, but I would not have a chance under them, and it would scarcely be sportsman like, or like New York yachtsmen, to not consider certain modifications. I know the difficulties they will have to meet, but I am sure they will meet my sug gestions in liberal spirit.” “Will you tell the result of your efforts to ‘feel out’ the sentiment regarding modification of terms?” he was asked. Sir Thomas smiled, and answered: “You have seen the men who have come to see me off.” They were F. G. Bourne, ex-commodore of the New York Yacht Club; R. E. Tod, of the Atlantic;
