(By J. M. Allison, Special Corre
spondent of The Times.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—Beneath the
superficial chatter of Broadway, the
trained ear may distinguish a very
serious sound just now. It is the re
verberations of a row between Wil
liam F. Conner, American manager of
Madame Bernhardt, and Elizabeth
Marbury, the best business man in
skirts.
Miss Marbury, who has been active
in theatricals for many years has, of
late, with her friend, Miss Anne Mor
gan, daughter of the late J. P. Mor
gan, busied herself in promoting and
arranging various affairs to raise
funds for the Red Cross service of the
allies. Recently, Mme. Bernhardt,
who is touring under Mr. Conner’s
management, received a letter from
Miss Marbury, asking her if she would
appear and speak a few words at an
affair to be held in the Strand thea
tre for the benefit of the French Red
Cross. By something of a conici
denee, the date of the Red Cross bene
fit immediately preceded that of the
opening of Mme. Bemhardt’s engage
ment in New York city. Instead of
replying directly to Miss Marbury’s
letter, Mme. Bernhardt handed the
missive to Mr. Conner. He promptly
dispatched a reply which sizzled.
He told Miss Marbury that she had
knowlingly been guilty of the grossest
violation of managerial ethics in ad
dressing his star directly instead of
through him, that she had wilfully
sought to induce madame to do some
thing which could not help but con
fuse the public as to the name of the
theatre in which madame was making
her New York appearance, and that
she had treated him as if he were
merely an employee of madame in
stead of the guarantor and impressa
rio of her tour. He closed intimating
that Miss Marbury was probably ex
pecting to get something quite sub
stantial in the way of compensation if
she succeeded in obtaining for the
Strand picture house the prestige and
advertising which would result from
the appearance there, if only for a
moment, of the greatest living actress.
So far, no quotations of the text of
Miss Marbury’s rejoinder to this let
ter are obtainable. Only the rumble
which precedes the advent of Miss
Marbury’s epistle of reply has reached
the ear. But it sounds like the Twen
tieth Century, with a couple of extra
cars on, coming through the Pennsyl
vania tunnel an hour late.
Tom Powers, the cartoonist, has
shaved off the whiskers which he
started last summer and stubbornly
continued to cultivate, until last week,
despite all adverse criticism. George
McManus has issued invitations to a
tea at the Powers-McManus studio,
“to meet Mr. Powers with the ladders
removed.”
Major Wellington Barnes, of the
Britsh army, who is over here recup
erating after being shot up in various
and sundry ways in the past two
years, is the sort of an Englishman
who destroys ■ one’s convictions about
neutrality, and corrects various mis
conceptions about the English as a
race. Being tall, hearty, human and
broadly liberal in his views, with a
cheerful and constant inclination to
the belief that life is a joyful affair
if you only live in momentary realiz
ation of the fact, Major Barnes has
won himself a general popularity
along Broadway in a month's stay.
His strongest attribute is his sense of
humor. You can’t get him except un
ler duress, to talk of the serious side
of the war, though there is no doubt
he had his part in its serious doings.
The other night, in the Astor cafe,
someone asked him what incident in
the campaign about Ypres had im
pressed him most.
“I think,” said he “it was sitting on
a court martial. We had three days
rest out of the trenches and those of
us who were on the court martial were
losing just that much time of the pre
cious seventy-two hours. If the pris
oner would only plead guilty we’d be

all right and get the thing done in a
jiffy. He was a cheery little chap, the
prisoner; up on his third charge of be
ing absent without leave. As the rank
ing officer of the court, I asked him
what his plea was.
“ ‘Guilty, sir,’ said he.
“We all restrained ourselves from
shaking hands with him.
“ ‘What was your last sentence,’ I
asked.
I ‘“Nine months ’ard labor, sir,’ he
answered.
“ ‘Well, come now,’ said I to the
other members of the court. ‘Let’s
get ahead with this.’
“ ‘Beg pardon, sir,’ said the prison
er, leaning over to whisper to me be
hind his hand, ‘if you wants to get
done in a ’urry, sir, I takes the lib
erty o’ mentionin’, sir, as you ’aven’t
sworn th’ court.’
“He knew the game from experi
ence and wanted to be helpful. We
gave him one month, and I don’t think
we’re through yet writing letters to
brigade headquarters, lying about the
reasons for the light sentence.”

OPPORTUNITIES
Colonial women were as eager for silk underwear as any of the spoiled ladies of
the 1’ renclx Court. They prized it enough to bequeath it in their wills. What did
they have in Silk Underwear? Practically everything that we have. Vests, Bloom
ei's, Corset-Covers, Nightdresses, Envelope Chemise, Petticoats, Hosiery, Negligee
and Boudoir Caps. Pink was the prevailing color for them, so it is for us today, and
the ladies of Anchorage appreciate the good things as well as the ladies of the Court
days. So what is more befitting that you should give my lady at Xmas time than some
silk underwear? Our sweaters are the best to be had. Some have caps to match. j
Purses, vanity cases and fancy work boxes, also children’s purses. Rich novelty rib- i
bons for fancy wear. A full line of art needle work. Beautiful silk and wool dress
patterns. A new shipment of Gents ’ ties ju st recived. All suits and millinery greatly
reduced. Come and see for yourself.
