(By J. M. Allison, Special Corre
spondent of The Times.)
NEW YORK, November 25.—If I
were a painter of pictures, I had ra
ther paint a “Portrait of Margaret
Donegan” than a hundred “Horse
Fairs” or “Aphrodites.” And if I had
the wonder power of Stevenson to
transmit in words a sensation which
through the eyes has reached the
soul, I might try to tell you the feel
ings of a man who stands before Wil
liam Starkweather’s painting, now
hanging in the Folsom galleries.
They call him a lealist, and before
his picture you get the true signifi
cance of the term. At that moment,
every “genre” effect and sentimental
prettiness becomes mere sickly pre
tense. You see the whole tragedy of
life in the scrubwoman’s eyes.
To one of casual knowledge there
seems a great hesitancy within the
circle of critics and connoisseurs to
acknowledge something which is
among us and of the present as a pro
duct of genius and inspiration. And
so, I suppose, this work of an Amer
ican artist will be bought and hung
away in some private gallery and
noted obscurely as something worth
cataloguing among the merely mod
ern. And meanwhile the young
among us will be pointed to the ge
nius of painters whose works are
wonderful, mostly, because they are
old and the paints didn’t come out of
a tin tube.
They told me, at the gallery, the
story of this painting of Starkweath
er’s “Margaret Donegan” was really
a studio scrubwoman. The absorbing
influence of her life was the memory
of a loved one who had passed away.
In the light of that presence which
was with her for eternity, the people
she lived among were but passing
shadows. Starkweather studied the
great realists of Spain, who strove to
suggest the spiritual life through the
mere externals. But while they pic
tured vision of beyond as vouchsafed
to the great ones of church and state,
this democratic, American artist ex
tended the conception to one of the
poor and humble in the world.
To some of us, at least, Starkwea
ther has shown, in his picture, that
the painters we have known as real
INTRODUCING FERDINAND
OF BULGARIA AS A REAL
MOVING PICTURE ACTOR
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 1.—(By mail)
—Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria is a
movie actor. A four reel film is run
ning today in Hamburg movie thea
tres, shows the monarch of real life
doing the work of a monarch of the
reels.
The drama is written around Bog
dan Stimoff, a Bulgarian peasant of
Macedonia falsely accused of murder
ing Stojiscu, his Roumanian neighbor.
The drama, full of thrills, shows Sti
moff in his escape to America where
he becomes manager of a munition
factory.
When the “world war” breaks out,
Stimoff refuses to continue in the mu
nition business and embarks on a
Swedish steamer for Germany. The
steamer is captured by an Italian
warship, but the hero escaped over
board. He is rescued by a German
submarine and taken home. He
throws himself at the feet of the real
Czar Ferdinand, is pardoned, takes
his place in the army and performs
many feats of valor.
The czar plays his part remarka
bly well. He is seen walking in the
park at Sofia when Stimoff throws
himself at his feet. Here the royal
actor registers good surprise and
talks to his subject searchingly as if
desirous of every detail. Then the
czar is next seen pinning a medal on
the hero’s breast and giving the roy
al salute.
Unlike most movie thrillers, the
picture was not made in California,
Arizona or on the hills of the Hudson.
But it shows a real U-boat, aero
planes and warships, soldiers and bat
tles and a real—not reel—king.
WAR ODDITY.
ROME, Dec. 5.—A lunch basket
containing a cold roast chicken excit

carving knife and found the bird stuf

New York can now certainly boast
of the smallest theatre in the world.
The "Nine o’Clock Theatre,” in Fifty
eighth street, which opened under the
direction of Miss Helen Freeman this
week, has only 75 seats. It was in
tended to have a few over a hundred,
but, after the business of transform
ing a dwelling into a theatre was al
most complete, it was found that the
reconstruction had been carried on
with such disregard for the building
and fire regulations that a license
could not be obtained-4f the seating
capacity exceeded 75. The new little
theatre is expected to be taken up as
: a fad by society. Its location is
among the residences of the socially
elect and its company of players is
composed of persons who are better
known through their social connec
tions than through their achievements
on the stage. The admission fee is
three dollars. Its opening bill con
sists of original one-act plays, one of
which, anonymous as to authorship,
is seid to have been written by a
member of the Four Hundred, away
up among the nines and tens.
The Evening Telegram humorist ev
idently supported Wilson, in his pri
vate and personal capacity. He ob
serves with some petulance that it
appears that the old guard neither
dies, surrenders, nor pays its bets.
