CAILLAUOEPORTED ILL Suffering From Artery Disten tion, Says Specialist Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger CovvrtoM. 1918. tm New York Times Co. r-url, Sept. 3. The state of health of Caillaux, who has been detained In prison for several months pending completion of tho magis terlal information of the charges against him, has now been formally brought to the attention of Captain Boquehardon, the military court prosecutor, v for In vestigation by the magistrate In charge of the case. Tho prison doctor, having observed that Caillaux had grown much thin ner nnd was subject to abnormally high color, diagnosed that he was suffering from distention of the arteries. In con junction with Doctor Bouquet, an eminent specialist, the prison medical ofilcer formally reported that It was necessary that Caillaux undergo treat ment with high frequency electric cur rents, accoidlng to the dArsonval method. On receiving reports to this effect from the prison doctor and Captain Boquehar don, three professors were nominated by the dean of the medical profession In Paris to examine the patient- They re ported that the condition of Caillaux was not sufllclently serious to render con tlnued detention dangerous, and ad vised that he be allowed to take more exercise and follow the d'Arsonvial treat ripnt, which, they suggested, might be administered In the Val de Grace mili RENWICK in-iv be certain that the Germany witli hi"h Cecil appi'.irs to sympathize has lost a largo number of its supporters No one can pxpect us to support Cecil's method of fighting Pan-Germanism by killing Us opponents" Such stupidities are interesting evi dence of the confused state of the Ger man mind. The Franltfui ter Zeltung In llevcs that Cecil's utterance. Is clear prnnf of the Ilntente's Intention to an nihilate Germany.

The same journal regrets, however. I that It cannot produce the Chancellor's j word for It nd that his latest speech j still shows no sign ot repentance. I The Berliner Tngeblntt discovers a more moderate tone In Cecil's Interview must not forget that l Virtually all other Berlin Journals re gard tho Cecil utterance, ns n definite refusal to have anything to do with peace on any other basis than the com plete defeat of Germany, and there are naturally tlm usual comments about ln inoccnt Germany, which has accom plished so much for humanity, and about her bloodthirsty enemies.

M AUGURAL BROAD OPENS WITH "PHOEBE PRETENDS" Child Actress "Wins Laurels in Eleanor GateB's Sentimental Comedy A resourceful and self-assured child player, nlne- ear-old Elizabeth Kennedy, palpably Interested the audience attend ing tho first performance here of Eleanor Oates's new comedy, "Phoebe Tretends," at the opening of the Broad yesterday afternoon. I.lttle Miss Kennedy enacts her role with pert and often amusing emphasis The ntithor's Intent seems to have been to entrust a footllght solution of the divorce problem to a ohlld and to view the conditions arising from a marital estrangement from tho standpoint of the offspring. In this Instance, breezy little Phoebe's opinions undergo consid erable vacillation. Following her mother's death she eventually selects a suitable stepmother. Aa this attractive person happens to Inspire tho tot's father with admiration and love, tho curtain falls on a blissful climax, In "The Poor Little Hlch Girl" Miss Gates developed with some skill an ap pealing, fnntastlo framework. In the present offering It ta net easy to tell whether her Intent Is social pronaranda drama usually a pitfall of dullness or sentlmentaj comedy, laudatory of wisdom out ot the mouths of babes. In any event, her purposes are hazily exe cuted. Tho play Is clumsily compound ed, unmercifully padded, largely un convincing In characterization and sometimes downright mawkish. Phoebo's droll observations relieve the atmosphere of Ineptitude, and a gocd sense or timely Durlesquo Is exhibited In passages relative to the youngster's In fatuation with tno movies. Among tho players, besides little Miss Kennedy, are Diantha Pattlson, Lionel Adams, Robert Lowe, Frank Andrews and Jennie Klllscn. Tho general qual itv of their performances is not no table. "GIRL BEHIND THE GUN" NOT WARLIKE Excellent Cast in Musical Comedy Which Opens For rest's Season Only an echo of the trenches was audible when "The Girl Behind the Gun" fired tho Forrest's first shot of tpe season last night. The number of the atrical "big guns" Involved, however. made It a veritable broadside of musical comedy talent. It Is Indeed Klaw & i-.rlangers big charge of ammunition for the new season, nnd If Its opening boom" wasn't heard round the world, It was at least heard by most of Broad- way, for the very simple reason that most of Broadway that really Is Broad way came over to see and hear It fired. Thoso tireless makers of wartime amusement munitions, Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse, whose names havo be come a habit on recent musical comedy programs, are again tho authors of "book" and lyrics, while Ivan Caryll has furnished another characteristic score. It all makes quite a colorful flash as fired by such popular gunners as Donald Brian, Jack Hazzard, Ada Meade, Wllda Bennett, John VS. Young and Frank Doane. But despite the bright military trappings and racy war nllus'ans, Its sound is the sound of typical musical comedy, as fleeting as It Is famlllur. What there is of the farcical "plot" Is almost a Gordlan knot of mistaken identities, in which pollus back in Paris on brief "leave" masquerade as their friends under the spell of feminine charms, while the wives, on the other hand, engago In flirtations prompted by pique nnd the determination to punish their capricious husbands. Its details really do not matter, save as they pro vide the pretext or opportunity for Jack Harzard's drollery, Donald Brian's faultless dancing, Wllda Bennett's charming voice nnd fresh beauty, and Ada Meade's vivacious personality. Jack Hazzard's cynical song hlttlnr off femi nine traits, apparently nn Interpolation of his own, scored emphatically. Most of the melodies provided by Ivan Car II are sprightly marches," pleasing enough, but wholly ephemeral. The song obviously destined for greatest pop ularity Is the wistful and haunting "Waiting," which Is first sung by Wllda Bennett In the first act and recurs dur ing the other two acts. There Is also a graceful "Love Waltz" toward the end. which Is pleasing but not of striking originality. The chorus Is particularly fresh look ing, and danced and sang with spirit. DAVE MARION AT CASINO D-d-d-dddd-ave Marlon, In his Inimit able role of "Snffy." the cabman, and supported by a capable company of bur lesque rerformers, Is at the Casino. The show opened yesterday to capacity houses that responded with uproarious applause to the offerings of the popular comedian. "America's Best" Is the title of Marlon's show this season, and the dla loguo and songs have a patriotic flavor. The company Is large and well-selected, with nbllltv to sing, the prettiest cos tumes to wear nnd sdme catchy gongs that Improve In the singing. Trocadero Girls From Joylanil Pretty girls, elaborate costumes and catchy muBlc are a few of the features that make Sim Williams's show at the Trocadero one ot the best of the season's burlesque attractions.

OFFERINGS AT THE ABE AND MAWRUSS IN FILM BUSINESS "Business Before Pleasure" at Lyric Shows Them as "Movie Maggots" In the movies anything Is possible, particularly when "Abe" Potash and "Mawruss" Perlmutter are the gods In the operator's machine. That, at any rate, seems to have been tho motto of Montague Glass and Jules Kckert Good man In depectlng the erstwhile cloak and suit manufacturers embarked on tho sometime story sea of the motion- picture business. For In "Business Be fore Plcnsure," which yesterday opened the season at the Lyric, they have freely employed film license; tensest melodrama and broadest farce lie down In It as nmlablo footllght bedfellows. But despite tho palpable Incongruities of plot structure, It provides a veritable feast of merriment for , the nudlence. even though "Mawruss' does lament that "moving pictures ain't a business- it's n dlsslnatlon " ' In evading the strange world of "flllum" production, Abe nnd Mawruss proceed on the business principles nc nuired In tho cloak and suit business. Actors and actresses applying for Jobs are commanded to display "samples" of their art. Of course tho domestic and business affnlrs become hopelessly en tangled, nnd disaster pursues tho part ners with trulv movie speed, when the buxom Mrs. Potash descends upon the studio and raises objections to the fas cinating "vampire" with devastating forcefulness nnd effectiveness. The. n-ood old melodramatic days when cruel landlords threatened to foreclose mortgages and pitch paupers Into c bleak and snowy world were not a cir cumstance to the woe ot the partners when the. bank which has backod them threatens to call Its notes, and the wives of the "movio maggots" leave their hus bands through Jealousy of the "vara' plre." The Abe Potash ot Barney Bernard Is a masterpiece of characterization. It Is Instinct with ebullient comedy, yet so photographic In Its realism that there Is scarcely a trace of caricature. Alexan der Carr as Mawruss Perlmutter por vides a capital foil and Is amusing In his own individual way. Jennie Mosco- wltz as Mrs. Potash also contributes a startllngly lifelike portrait. In which reality Is simulated with flawless per fection. Sue MacManamy as the "vampire seemed uncertain of her lines at first, but Improved In later scenes. Tho bank official of Kdward Mordant Is played In too heavy a key. Actual movies are employed to fur ther the action at one point, nnd there Is a studio rehearsal which Is convul sively fuhny. ANDY TOOMBES HEADS GOOD BILL AT KEITH'S There's a Laugh in Every Minute of Act of This Comedy Creator "Labc" Sherman put Ashtabula, Ohio, on the map. "Andy" Toombes Is keep ing It there.

It was. He's booked as Mr. Andrew Toombes, but back Ashtabula way everybody knows him as Andy. He's a sort of Dan Daly type of comedy creator, and there's a laugh every minute In the act. Just to look at Andy is a giggle. He has a lino of chatter that Is really funny. Miss Parker sings and looks well. "The Decorators" is n new act here that's ctowded with laughs. It Is booked us a "comedy of errors, with a 'drunk, ' n paste pot and two paperhangera form ing the plot nucleus. One ot the cleverest bits of mind con centration ever seen here Is shown by Tameo Kajlyama, a young man from Jap-vn. Last night he conversed with persons In the nudlence, while at the same, time he read tho headlines from a copy of the Evening) Puni.io LEDuF.n and copied them on a blackboard with his back to the board nnd writing back ward. Guh Van and Joo Schenck have . batch of good songs that are new, and which they sing well. Fred and Daisy Rial have a clover acrobatic act ; John Kegy and the Lorraine Sisters dance well, the American Beauty Ballet pre sents some interesting classics, George Whiting and Sadie Burt sing a batch of clever songs and the Bert Hughes com pany docs some clever cycle stunts. Altogether one of the best shows at Keith's In u long time.

SEEN IN "NANCY LEE" Eugene "Walter Play at the Garrick Theatre Proves Pleasant Entertainment Those who blushed at Kugeno Walter's frankly spoken "nasest Way," and those who refrained from witnessing a performance of that brilliant and search ing tract because they had heard It described as Indecent, need havo no fear of shocked sensibilities by seeing "Nancy Lee," by the same nuthor and It. Crown In Wilson, which, last night, served as the opening attraction of the season nt the Garrick Theater. But thero Is this to bo borne In mind they won't sec ns good a ploy. "Nancy Lee" doosji't ring altogether true. A number of the characters In the new play aro taken from tho saino social stratum reflected In tho "Kaslest War," and the main portion of the drnmn deals with modorn llfo nt a hasty gait. "Nancy Lee" Jostles tho proprieties but slightly nnd at the end there Is a pleasant tasto. Tho reason for nil this. In great meas. ure. Is owing lo the angle taken by Mr, Walter and his partner playwright from the basic theme. Given a pretty woman with Virtually no useful accomplish ments, extravagant In tastes and be sieged by creditors and set her adrift In the current of a society made up of a risque set what will happen? Laura Murdoch, In the earlier offering, took "the easiest way" hence the shock. Nancy Lee wabbles at times, but in tho end proves the truth of tho old saw "As the shoot Is trained so the tree will bend" or something to that effect. Virtue Is triumphant, although the authors fall to make the point its con vincing ns they might have uone. Miss Charlotte Walker, ilrst ns the girl In the'Kouthern home forced Into a loveless marriage to obtain money to enable her parents and sister an unde- servlnir lot to keep up appearnnces, nnd later ns the widow In tho "bright light" set, won sympathy In a trying role.
