BARON RADECK SUES BERNSTORFF'S SON Berlin Stirred by Libel Action Following Young: Count's Marriage to American. Amsterdam, April 3. Berlin society Is much stirred by a suit for libel against Count 'Christian Gunther von Bernstorff, son of the former German Ambassador to the United States, by Baron Walter von Radeck, a member of an old Prussian military family who lived for many years in England, Count Gunther s wife, who was Mrs. Margue- rite Vivian Burton Thomason of Bur- lington, N. J., and a number of others. Including the wife of one of the Gen erals commanding an army on the Western front, aleo are defendants in the suit. Baron von Radeck and his wife, ac- cording to the RienfarAe Wcttfallsche Ztituno. were divorced In October, 1917, and she subsequently married Count von Bernstorff. The result was a physical encounter between the two men In which Von Radeck tore tha epaulettes from Von Bernstorff's uniform. Thereupon Von Bernstorff declared that Von Radeclc was not capable of giving satisfaction as a gentleman, and he charged Von Radeck with spying for England, This resulted In Von Radeck leaving the army and Von Hernstorff being punished by a military court. The Baron now charges that Von Bernstorff, with fourteen others, caused his divorce and dismissal from the army by cir- culating untruthful reports. Count Christian Gunther von Bern- storff and Mrs. Thomason were married December 8, He Is 26 years old and in 1913 was a clerk In tho offices of Speyer k Co., New York bankers. He entered the German diplomatic service toon nftcr tho outbreak of the war. Countess von Bernstorff la about 30 years old, Her first husband was nn American. After their divorce she married Baron von Rnilcck. She was born In Htroudsburg, Pa., of English parents and was adopted by E. .1, Thorn- - aeon of liurlington, j, Alter ner first marriage, she met Baron von In New York and they were mar- ried In London In 191J. Two years latr began cult for divorce on tho ground of cruelty and tbe case, dragged until Inst October. Four years ago the Counter became heir to an estate of $100,000 from her foster mother. MISS TAYLOR DIPS INTO SHAKESPEARE Portrays Clinrnctor in Each of Three Different Plays at. Criterion. NOT ARTISTIC SUCCESS Hopes to Continue to "Ploy Ports Until She Acts Them os They Should Be." t.aurcttc Taylor is Just now nt the tenlth of her popularity. Her loynl pub- lic rarely falters., When Hartley Man- ners puts the actress Into a role that shows her Incomparable skill ns an act- ress of low comedy, It makes not the least difference what tho rest of the piny may bo about. Witness) "Happiness." She even appeared In "The Harp of Life" and there waa a certain fidelity from her admirers, although It did not satisfy their deslro to see Miss Taylor making fun of herself nnd others In her Irre- sistible way. Then came "Our Theatre" and the actretb was heraelf ugiiln : so were her admirers. "The Wooing of Eve" would of course hnve ended the career of the player ot ordinary popu- larity then and there. But Miss Tay- lor's admirers only kept away rather than witness such .1 sacrifice of their favorite to flock back with greater warmth when she came out grinning and bnttlng her eyes as the little gutter he roine of tho play current at the Criter ion Theatre. She has an unusual hold on her public, possible moreover only to an actress of such charm of person- ality as heessesses. Perform In Three Plays. Miss Taylor Indulged herself yester day In the Itfxury of an afternoon with the Bard of Avon. She did not ap proach him and his works In fasting and prayer and nibble tentatively at one part. She took a gulp and swallowed no less than three In ono matinee. She be- gan with A'olhcrme in a short version of "The Taming of the Shrew," then gave the balcony scene frosn "Romeo and Juliet" and close the programme with two fcenea from "The Merchant of Venice which Included, of course, the trial. This, It will be observed, might be called a large order even If the plays were what Is known In the green cov ered organ of refined vordcvlllc as tabs." That la thought to mean In t'.s original form "tabloid." The faithful public ehled. There wa. a small audience, made up chiefly of actors. It must hasve been a tense tnln-ut- o to most of them' since back of tho consciousness of all actors there Is the ambition to play some character of' Shakespeare one of those da. Mla Taylor, In a modest speech at the clre of the play, confessed that this In- dulgence of her own aspirations had been a trial. She even said a "crucifix-Ion.- " But It seemed nothing of the kind to her admirers. In "The Tamlntc of the Shrew" she gave them occasion for only the keenest delight. She was never be- fore so lovely to look at as the curly red wig made her, and much of her acting was tenso with the) strong pensonnl charm which she so potently wields over those who fall under the spell of her mile, her speaking eyes and the heal ram. inng urawn spcecu in... .jus " musically If at times In ruili measured ! cadence from her lip.

Sho was an observant and careful tiger cat watching herself attentively. Her lack of Btrong itersonal characteristics was not because she was the chatacter nnd not the woman the public -u admires. She way merel t ot much of anybody. But with the conquest the change came. Notlmiir could 'have bean more delightful than the retaliation with which she uatc.inl the tyrniit.Ual bus-han- nothlntr more natural than her oc- casional indication of altogether Im- potent spirit. Hero there was oppor- tunity for the actress to reveal her own qualities. Her exquisitely melting sur- render to I'efriicifp following the de- livery of the speech about the duty of wives with frequent appeals to him. won the heart of every spectator to Miss Taylor as an actress of Shakespeare. Of the grand etyle, of the higher qual- ities of tho nature of the threw there wn perhaps little or nn Indication. T'le method was small. It was the wrong end of the opera ulass again. The ma- terial was certainly not ennobled by treatment.

Unluckily there was le to delight the audience In the balcony scene from "Romeo and Jullst." The tone of amo. rous ecstacy wns altogether absent. There was no trace of girlish vasslon nor abandonment. Miss Taylor's delivery of the verse suffered from her charac- teristic deliberation. Then there wns no sensuous beauty In the voice to Im- part Itts charm to this paean of young love. It was Indeed rather common- place. Jose Ruben, usually so anient, also missed the kindling fiamo of passion in- dispensable In this scene above all others. But he had the English lan- guage nn his mind. Miss Taylor in her short speech said shn had undertaken the acting of thee famous parts as a pleasure nnd the means of improving Her own methods as at. actress and had no nllusions as to her powers to rival the greatest ac- tresses of the past. Hut she tnld that she hoped to continue to play them until In the future she should bo capa- ble of acting them as they should be. Tim speech was of course tl.reo star Taylor Fo the audience left the thea- tre nnntured. MME. ARNDT-OBE- R CAN SUE. German Subject's) Right to Bring; Action Agralnst Opera Affirmed.

'HEARTS OF WORLD' REAL WAR DRAMA p. W. Griffith Makes Great Conflict Setting of Love Story. D. W. Griffith in "Hearts of the World," which wns shown to tho publlo for the first time In tho Forty-fourt- h Street Theatre last night, has told the Inherent etory of the war. It Is tho In- herent story of the war because, as he has announced he wishes It understood and as the picture drama shows, he In- tended It primarily as a love story with the war as a bleak background. And that explanation of his Intention reveals wherein Mr. Griffith has attained his success. His instinct was to strike the human chord, and ho has pictured this war as every human being pictures it, If only In a remote corner of his heart as the ironic background of some sort ot a love story. If the moving picture had not devel- oped Into such a distinct field of Its own, now demanding absolute aesthetic independence from the oral stage and from literature, (his latest success of the producer of "The Birth of a Na- tion" could be said to compare with Emll Zola's story, "The Attack on the Mill." Except for Its "tentative" happy ending (the hero at its climax Is only on furlough and the war still goes on) tho picture play dramatizes war as memorably as the Zola story. Mr. Griffith calls it ."the story of a village, an old fashioned play with a new fashioned theme," but the story or riot Is a fimall part compared with the series of Impressions the flashes of scenes g'.ve( carrying one from the days of peace, into the most violent tragedies of the war. , The scenario, as written by Mnston de Tollgnac, tells of two American nil Inters living In Frnnce. Tho daugh ter of one painter and the oldest von of tlm other, living next door to each otner, fall In love The UttUi DiUurbcr. a strolling singer, falls In love with tho young man, which device has Its interest chiefly In es- tablishing a contest between the two girls and In Introducing an amusing and distinctive character to follow-throug- the rest of the story. The girl and her lover are preparing their wedding when the great war be- gins and, though an American citizen, ho offers his life to the service of France. The girl and her family are left In the village, refusing to believe there Is any danger. The small Frencn company In which the boy enlist, and which Is placed In the trenches nearest Its own village, Is beaten hick In a German offensive. There follows the overwhelming of the French and the destruction of the village. This Is tho part of tho cinema In which Mr. Griffith worked his eighteen months with the permission and the help of the French nnd British officials. The scenes of actual warfare nnd those which he has staged are Intermingled with such a hand for realism that one could not distinguish the difference ex- cept In seeing the same character! In somo of the battle scenes who were shown in the earlier parts of the story. In the second act or part Is shown the French massing their forces and re- capturing tho village nnd tho principal remaining characters of the story finally brought together At a dinner to tho boy at homo mi ' ough Is a remark able climax In wl .. shown the Amer- ican troop mare!.. UK under the window outside, H.KECftinj; the ultimate victory and the happy ending. CARTER SHOWS OLD TRICKS. Magician Also JCnertalna AVtth Wit at Belmont Theatre. Carter, a magician, who like many great men disdains any more specific designation, appeared nt the Belmont Theatre last night. He did many fa- miliar tricks with a certain degrt-- of facility, sprinkled his performance with mild wit and Interested tho nudlcnce, which was plainly unusued to such en- tertainments. ' Carter, who was assisted by Corlnno of the same namo In skilful mind read- ing tricks, did the classics of his busi- ness without Imparting any distinguish- ing personal characteristics to them. Ex- perts said ho worked slowly. But he Is a mild and portly person, amiable In manner, with none of the satanlc aspect of Herrmann of sainted memory. Nothing he did seemed so remarkable to tho old timers as his restoration to the glories of Broadway Imprcsarloshlp ns Edward E.' Rice, the veteran manager, who has been a figure In American the- atricals for nearly half a century. It used tn be said that his middle name was "Evergreen." That seemed true enough last night as he smilingly greeted the public that gathered to witness Car- ter and the manifestations ot his magic. SHAKESPEARE AT THE CORT.

BARON RADECK SUES

BERNSTORFF'S SON

Berlin Stirred by Libel ActionFollowing Young: Count's

Marriage to American.

Amsterdam, April 3. Berlin societyIs much stirred by a suit for libelagainst Count 'Christian Gunther vonBernstorff, son of the former GermanAmbassador to the United States, byBaron Walter von Radeck, a memberof an old Prussian military family wholived for many years in England, CountGunther s wife, who was Mrs. Margue-rite Vivian Burton Thomason of Bur-lington, N. J., and a number of others.Including the wife of one of the Generals commanding an army on theWestern front, aleo are defendants inthe suit.

Baron von Radeck and his wife, ac-

cording to the RienfarAe WcttfallscheZtituno. were divorced In October, 1917,and she subsequently married Countvon Bernstorff.

The result was a physical encounterbetween the two men In which VonRadeck tore tha epaulettes from VonBernstorff's uniform. Thereupon VonBernstorff declared that Von Radeclcwas not capable of giving satisfactionas a gentleman, and he charged VonRadeck with spying for England,

This resulted In Von Radeck leavingthe army and Von Hernstorff beingpunished by a military court. TheBaron now charges that Von Bernstorff,with fourteen others, caused his divorceand dismissal from the army by cir-culating untruthful reports.

Count Christian Gunther von Bern-storff and Mrs. Thomason were marriedDecember 8, He Is 26 years old andin 1913 was a clerk In tho offices ofSpeyer k Co., New York bankers. Heentered the German diplomatic servicetoon nftcr tho outbreak of the war.

Countess von Bernstorff la about 30years old, Her first husband was nnAmerican. After their divorce shemarried Baron von Rnilcck. She wasborn In Htroudsburg, Pa., of Englishparents and was adopted by E. .1, Thorn- -aeon of liurlington, j, Alter nerfirst marriage, she met Baron von

In New York and they were mar-ried In London In 191J. Two yearslatr began cult for divorce on thoground of cruelty and tbe case, draggeduntil Inst October. Four years ago theCounter became heir to an estate of$100,000 from her foster mother.

MISS TAYLOR DIPS

INTO SHAKESPEARE

Portrays Clinrnctor in Each ofThree Different Plays

at. Criterion.

NOT ARTISTIC SUCCESS

Hopes to Continue to "PloyPorts Until She Acts Them

os They Should Be."

t.aurcttc Taylor is Just now nt thetenlth of her popularity. Her loynl pub-

lic rarely falters., When Hartley Man-

ners puts the actress Into a role thatshows her Incomparable skill ns an act-

ress of low comedy, It makes not theleast difference what tho rest of the pinymay bo about. Witness) "Happiness."She even appeared In "The Harp of Life"and there waa a certain fidelity from heradmirers, although It did not satisfytheir deslro to see Miss Taylor makingfun of herself nnd others In her Irre-sistible way. Then came "Our Theatre"and the actretb was heraelf ugiiln : sowere her admirers. "The Wooing ofEve" would of course hnve ended thecareer of the player ot ordinary popu-larity then and there. But Miss Tay-lor's admirers only kept away ratherthan witness such .1 sacrifice of theirfavorite to flock back with greaterwarmth when she came out grinning andbnttlng her eyes as the little gutter heroine of tho play current at the Criterion Theatre. She has an unusual holdon her public, possible moreover only toan actress of such charm of person-ality as heessesses.

Perform In Three Plays.Miss Taylor Indulged herself yester

day In the Itfxury of an afternoon withthe Bard of Avon. She did not approach him and his works In fasting andprayer and nibble tentatively at onepart. She took a gulp and swallowed noless than three In ono matinee. She be-

gan with A'olhcrme in a short versionof "The Taming of the Shrew," thengave the balcony scene frosn "Romeo andJuliet" and close the programme withtwo fcenea from "The Merchant ofVenice which Included, of course, thetrial. This, It will be observed, mightbe called a large order even If the playswere what Is known In the green covered organ of refined vordcvlllc as

tabs." That la thought to mean In t'.soriginal form "tabloid."

The faithful public ehled. There wa.a small audience, made up chiefly ofactors. It must hasve been a tense tnln-ut- o

to most of them' since back of thoconsciousness of all actors there Is theambition to play some character of'Shakespeare one of those da. MlaTaylor, In a modest speech at the clreof the play, confessed that this In-

dulgence of her own aspirations hadbeen a trial. She even said a "crucifix-Ion.- "

But It seemed nothing of the kindto her admirers. In "The Tamlntc of theShrew" she gave them occasion for onlythe keenest delight. She was never be-

fore so lovely to look at as the curly redwig made her, and much of her actingwas tenso with the) strong pensonnlcharm which she so potently wields overthose who fall under the spell of her

mile, her speaking eyes and the healram. inng urawn spcecu in... .jus "musically If at times In ruili measured !

cadence from her lip.V VIolrnll I'haslrnl fhrrvi.

Her finlirriiic a n Wulently physi-cal shrew who choked and bit, squirmedand cuffed her relnttws nnd secmliiKbubbling always from an Internal vol-cano of wrath that only 1. straltjaeketcould have adequately controlled WhenJ'efnicMo phs!cally sat on her It seemedthe solitary way of keeping her quiet.Like o many actresses wlto are m thethreshold of their careers ns pin j era ofShakepeare, little of her persvmal al-

lurement was noticeable In tho firstscene nf the 'h:t- - nil- - ,Hfl w.L

cenernlly competent and Hut j

It was The voicesounded no more like that of l.aurettejTaylor than the wig was like her ac- -customed shock of jcllow hair. Sho wasan observant and careful tiger catwatching herself attentively. Her lackof Btrong itersonal characteristics wasnot because she was the chatacter nndnot the woman the public -u admires.She way merel t ot much of anybody.

But with the conquest the changecame. Notlmiir could 'have bean moredelightful than the retaliation withwhich she uatc.inl the tyrniit.Ual bus-han-

nothlntr more natural than her oc-

casional indication of altogether Im-

potent spirit. Hero there was oppor-tunity for the actress to reveal her ownqualities. Her exquisitely melting sur-render to I'efriicifp following the de-

livery of the speech about the duty ofwives with frequent appeals to him.won the heart of every spectator to MissTaylor as an actress of Shakespeare.

Of the grand etyle, of the higher qual-ities of tho nature of the threw therewn perhaps little or nn Indication. T'lemethod was small. It was the wrongend of the opera ulass again. The ma-terial was certainly not ennobled bytreatment. But tho effect wan ly

human and womanly ShelleyHull was a dashing anil handsome wifetamer, and Miss Taylor' nwell as the scenes in which t'.e playpasses were adequate.

A Poor Juliet.Unluckily there was le to delight

the audience In the balcony scene from"Romeo and Jullst." The tone of amo.rous ecstacy wns altogether absent.There was no trace of girlish vasslonnor abandonment. Miss Taylor's deliveryof the verse suffered from her charac-teristic deliberation. Then there wnsno sensuous beauty In the voice to Im-

part Itts charm to this paean of younglove. It was Indeed rather common-place. Jose Ruben, usually so anient, alsomissed the kindling fiamo of passion in-

dispensable In this scene above allothers. But he had the English lan-guage nn his mind.

Miss Taylor in her short speech saidshn had undertaken the acting of theefamous parts as a pleasure nnd themeans of improving Her own methods asat. actress and had no nllusions as toher powers to rival the greatest ac-tresses of the past. Hut she tnld thatshe hoped to continue to play themuntil In the future she should bo capa-ble of acting them as they should be.Tim speech was of course tl.reo starTaylor Fo the audience left the thea-tre nnntured.

'HEARTS OF WORLD'

REAL WAR DRAMA

p. W. Griffith Makes GreatConflict Setting of

Love Story.

D. W. Griffith in "Hearts of theWorld," which wns shown to tho publlofor the first time In tho Forty-fourt- h

Street Theatre last night, has told theInherent etory of the war. It Is tho In-

herent story of the war because, as hehas announced he wishes It understoodand as the picture drama shows, he In-

tended It primarily as a love story withthe war as a bleak background. Andthat explanation of his Intention revealswherein Mr. Griffith has attained hissuccess.

His instinct was to strike the humanchord, and ho has pictured this war asevery human being pictures it, If onlyIn a remote corner of his heart as theironic background of some sort ot alove story.

If the moving picture had not devel-oped Into such a distinct field of Itsown, now demanding absolute aestheticindependence from the oral stage andfrom literature, (his latest success ofthe producer of "The Birth of a Na-tion" could be said to compare withEmll Zola's story, "The Attack on theMill." Except for Its "tentative" happyending (the hero at its climax Is onlyon furlough and the war still goes on)tho picture play dramatizes war asmemorably as the Zola story.

Mr. Griffith calls it ."the story of avillage, an old fashioned play with anew fashioned theme," but the story orriot Is a fimall part compared with theseries of Impressions the flashes of scenesg'.ve( carrying one from the days ofpeace, into the most violent tragedies ofthe war. ,

The scenario, as written by Mnstonde Tollgnac, tells of two Americannil Inters living In Frnnce. Tho daughter of one painter and the oldest von oftlm other, living next door to each otner,fall In love

The UttUi DiUurbcr. a strolling singer,falls In love with tho young man, whichdevice has Its interest chiefly In es-tablishing a contest between the twogirls and In Introducing an amusingand distinctive character to follow-throug-

the rest of the story.The girl and her lover are preparing

their wedding when the great war be-

gins and, though an American citizen,ho offers his life to the service ofFrance. The girl and her family areleft In the village, refusing to believethere Is any danger. The small Frencncompany In which the boy enlist, andwhich Is placed In the trenches nearestIts own village, Is beaten hick In aGerman offensive. There follows theoverwhelming of the French and thedestruction of the village.

This Is tho part of tho cinema Inwhich Mr. Griffith worked his eighteenmonths with the permission and thehelp of the French nnd British officials.The scenes of actual warfare nnd thosewhich he has staged are Intermingledwith such a hand for realism that onecould not distinguish the difference ex-

cept In seeing the same character! Insomo of the battle scenes who wereshown in the earlier parts of the story.

In the second act or part Is shownthe French massing their forces and re-

capturing tho village nnd tho principalremaining characters of the story finallybrought together At a dinner to thoboy at homo mi ' ough Is a remarkable climax In wl .. shown the Amer-ican troop mare!.. UK under the windowoutside, H.KECftinj; the ultimate victoryand the happy ending.

CARTER SHOWS OLD TRICKS.

Magician Also JCnertalna AVtthWit at Belmont Theatre.

Carter, a magician, who like manygreat men disdains any more specificdesignation, appeared nt the BelmontTheatre last night. He did many fa-

miliar tricks with a certain degrt-- offacility, sprinkled his performance withmild wit and Interested tho nudlcnce,which was plainly unusued to such en-

tertainments.' Carter, who was assisted by Corlnno

of the same namo In skilful mind read-ing tricks, did the classics of his busi-ness without Imparting any distinguish-ing personal characteristics to them. Ex-perts said ho worked slowly. But he Isa mild and portly person, amiable Inmanner, with none of the satanlc aspectof Herrmann of sainted memory.

Nothing he did seemed so remarkableto tho old timers as his restoration to theglories of Broadway Imprcsarloshlp nsEdward E.' Rice, the veteran manager,who has been a figure In American the-atricals for nearly half a century. Itused tn be said that his middle namewas "Evergreen." That seemed trueenough last night as he smilingly greetedthe public that gathered to witness Car-ter and the manifestations ot his magic.
