There . rematna the possibility, and ven the probability, that these two young pe , pie, who, are quite evidently very much .- In love with each other, will not be , able to wait until the date they them- i selves have nxed, but even Intimate friends have been assured that It will not take place until the "month of v weddings" la nearly over. , Whether the knot will be tied in a Jewish syna- j segue, in a church of England, or at a registry office, however, not even the nearest friends of the . "parties' are - able to say. And whan Edna Mar Is married, well. S "what will' she dor What manner of life,. In fact, has bean planned by thla girl. Who Up to now has had to work hard in spits ef having been for nearly ,10 years a popular star, but who new will be the mistress of millions? Is aha : eager to be a queen of society and regal entertainer, a grand dame In Eng land and on the Continent, or doea she - prefer to lead a quiet life and to find happiness In the domeatlo Joya that were denied her In her first brief J and , rather painful matrimonial experience? What Actress Will Do '. t ... . To these quits natural queetlons there . have been no answers as yet. despite the many Interviews with Miss May that have been published since she : made her farewell appearance In pub lic at the Aldwych Theatre a fort night or so ago. It has been .an nounced, of course, that England will be the future home of Edna May and her husband, and that la natural enough since both have spent many years In this country. Oscar Lewlsohn, in fact, r though be went to Tale and knows his own country thoroughly, knows Europe quite as well. He was the constant companion of his Invalid father, who - traveled in search of health all over Britain and the Continent I am able to describe here the life which he and his famous bride have planned to lead together, but in doing to I am debarred from putting a single word of It between inverted commas, i or in the. form of an Interview with Edna May, She and her future hus band., in fact, are reticent to the point ef fcypersansltlveneas, - so far as the mention of their future plans In print is concerned, and when I asked Mlas May permission to tell about them, as coming from ber, she refused, kindly but firmly. All that she would con sent to authorise. In fact, and thla she did most willingly, was the publication f the little "goodbye" message from her to the American public, which la printed herewith Just as she wrote and sent it to me, snd which has very real and personal lntereat of its own. The rest of this article, telling what Edna May is planning to "do," must be taken only as coming from one who knows the facts. To Live the Simple Life. 6he and her millionaire husband are going to live the "Simple Life" that la, so far as the simple life can be lived In a big English country house provided with every modern luxury and means , 4f vi. .Tsrassrsi w mw .

They are now looking tor a "manor house." standing in the oenter of broad estate, and when they have set tled down in it such ambitions as the conquest of "high society are. appar ently about the last things that are going to trouble them. They will en tertain their friends, of course, and lav- Ishly, too, but to be a "great hostess" In the sense of having titled and possi bly even royal folk aa her guests is not, oddly enough, a deslnty that appeals to Edna May. ' Nor is this a Case of sour grapes, for there 1s little doubt that the former "Belle of New Tork" could hob-nob with society "an- she would." She is the daughter of a lettercarrier, It Is true, but Rosle Boots, the preaent mar ebloness of Headfort Is of even hum bler origin, yet her guests now Include "the noblest in the land." There is s good deal, of course, in having a mar quis for a husband, but aa Alexandre Dumas remarked, "tbe title of millionaire Is the finest of all" Moreover, thia Is Unquestionably the day of the Jewish millionaire in 'English society, as wit ness the position of Sir Ernest Caaael, the king's great chum, the Rothschilds, and others whose name Is legion. One of the chief desires of this happy aotress Is that the big estate which her husband is going to buy should Include a "home farm" ana that she herself shall be responsible for the quality of her butter, cream and eggs. It is not often that the stage Inspires one of its feminine luminaries with a yarning for bucolia Joys, but it is likely enough that her last part In "Nelly Nell" may have done something of the kind for the for mer "Belle." In this piece, she appeared first as an advocate of the simple life and then as the proprietress of "Sim- pllclty Farm," and who knows thai a desire for dealings with real churns and molds and such like. Implements may have been the direct result f At any rate, if Edna May electa to possess and to ' boss her own dairy, she will have a distinguished example in the person of the queen of England, Who knows as much about the practice side of butter and cheese making as her royal husband does about the practical raising and breeding ef livestock fof profit. ; , j Her Favorite Recreation. Edna Mays favorite recreations are riding, billiards and croquet; Oscar Lewlsohn's are hunting, shooting and golf, and these are the pastimes which they intend to go in for when they find the big country house which they want for their home. JUp to now, however, they have not succeeded in finding it, although they have looked at halls, courts, manors, " towers, granges and castles by the score. The price Is no object, but so far every realdence that Mlas May and her fiance have inspected has had some fault beyond easy remedy. The house thef are looking for must he quite in the country, and preferably in Berkshire, or one of the other home counties. It may be hundreds of years old, but must have Its interior modern ised to the last degree. It must stand In , its own park, and there must be lawns and ornamental flower gardens and kitchen and fruit gardens, -stables and garage. '" A house with about 10 rooms Is what the young couple want. Ther.e must be a large hall, square or octagonal; a drawing room, a handsome dining room. a oocy boudoir, a sunny morning room, a library. a smoking room, a billiard room and a den for the master pf the house; this latter will also be the gun room. This leaves 11 bed rooms, none too many when one considers that later on two of the largest may be wanted for the day and night nurseries. At this rate, not more than half a dosen friends can be of the house party at one time. Tot this Is alt Edna May and her husband will want' . In the stables will be half 'a dosen hunters and saddle horses, two for the mistress, the others for the master. Edna May has gone for a canter In the Row almost every week day, but her Edna May's Good-Bye to the Play-Going Public (WRITTEN BY HERSELF.) Good-bye, Dear Public. It hurt! me. more grievously thin I can poslibly express in mere words, to have to ity good-bye to the hundreds and perhaps thousand of my friends on both tides of the theatre curtain. I love my work and my audiences on both sides of the water. Perhaps my fondest adieus must go to my English audiences, for I know them better. In my 10 years of active stage life, practically nine ?ears have been spent in England. I know I have been a success, or in all that time I have only had two failures. But I have worked hard the public will never know how hard Snd I have earned a rest, which how I hope to take for life. , My favorite play is "The Belle of New York," of course, for it was in that I craduated to stardom. But "La Pounee" is a very close second. In my stage career, I have but two little regrets w one that I did not appear in "La Poupee" in the United States, the Other that I never played In legitimate comedy. ,It is the public I must really thank for much of my success. But for 'its kindness, its encouragement, its generous applause, I might have been a miserable failure. Now that I have said forever farewell to the stage, I can afford to make a confession. , My temperament is a sensitive, nervous one. I" suffered from tag fright throughout my career. Not the ordinary stage fright, common on first nights of new pieces, but an absolutely continuous state fright a nightly affair almost "a fear of each act. It has been momentary in nearly every instance, but there have been many occasions when, alter leaving the stage, I could not restrain my tears. - Criticisms have, in like manner, affected me. I have wept and suffered' for hours, over the occasional hard words of the journalistic critics, many of whom are my very good friends. The public and the critics do not realise. I feel sure, what their praise or condemnation means to those of the stage. England will be our . permanent . home; though neither' of us will abandon our citizenship of the United States. I have more friends, in England than in America, for here I have spent the last nine years, and when I left the United States I was barely 19. There is a woman's confession of age for you I As a mere girl, one scarcely makes the friends one does in the years following the teens. I will not abandon the theatre, in Jfs entirety;: for I expect to become a regular first-nighter, and continue in eonstanjt attendance, though in the stalls as a mere spectator. I will also continue my connection with the various charitable institutions of the theatrical world.' ' ' And now farewell to my dear public on both sides of the Atlantic. I have made my last exit from the stage of the theatre. The curtain is just going up on the happiest part of my life. I have deepest regrets, yes, tears, at. ending my stage career. These are still with me even in the gladness of the., sunshine of my future. To my critics my heartfelt thanks. I am passing from the light of publicity but there are others coming into it Let the critics be merciful to them. . ; - ' : Good-bye, dear stage, good-bye, dear public horses have been hired by the month or quarter. v Hunting is the favorito-pastime of Mr. Lewlsohn, and he wui try to get a NIN1LTY-THR1L1L YEARS AHLAD OF BELLAMY'S DRLAM ' I I I I ' 1 ' , I .

Willie," or whatever tune you may choose as a m intnua wooer to win rou back from the arms of Morpheus! And, above all, these Aladdin-like nov elties, the really tremendous fact that In this system of munlo, produced by the dynamophone, Dr. Thaddeus uanm has invented a method whereby, for tha first time since the morning stars sang together absolutely perfect music be comes a practical reality. Bclentif ically correct music, or. If you choose, chemically pure musiol And produced' without ,the aid of any of the mediums we have heretofore looked upon as necessary In the making . of music. No strings, horns, pipes or sound boxes. Just a nest of whirring dynamos down in the basement 145 of 'em few miles of ordinary copper wire,: the big keyboard and a disc of common tin fastened onto the end of & telephone receiver! Then the horn to agnify the sound made by the tin dlso, 1 and 'whatever sort of hiding place you want for it-Min urn, a flower bush or a center-table. If you like. And aome One to play! Here's where this music becomes a true art It can not be stored up and ground out over and over again. You cannot have It in rolls or records to unwind at will. The human touch is as much a part of it as of flrst?bsd violin music or piano, and the ot Che player quite aa easily expressed in it if he knows how to put sour Into his playing. In brief, it Is music made by numer ous alternating currents of electricity, producing from SO to 4,000 vibrations per second and controlled from a giant keyboard which looks like an eight-fold tier of piano keyboard. These -currents are combined or mixed at the will of the players, and they vi brate the tin dlse on the telephone re ceiver, being by it translated into sound-' waves.: which are magnified in volume i try the horn. : One kuch Instrument as I ahat 'X saw played jsrlU furnish just, such muslo as I heard for 30,000 outside stations within a radius of 150 miles, and. the muslo delivered at each station will be of sufficient volume to enter tain an audience of 2,000 persons. Bo it would be entirely possible for the whole population of New Tork City to listen at the same time to the earns ar tlst playing the same piece! Think you not Mr. Bellamy has good cauae to turn in his grave. The programs listened to by these au diences could be made up of piano, vio lin, cornet or flute solos; duets of any sort, string quartets, bell chimes, or the voluminous melody of an orchestra with 100 players all produced from the one set of keyboards by the same player or players it will take six to do the 100-handed orchestra s Job! "Now. how in the world T" but wait a minute. Tears ago the greatest of modern au thoritles on sound, Baron von Helm' holts, analyzed musical tones Just ss a chemist analyses water. He found out exactly how many vibrations there sre in every "ground tone" a ground tone is the primary tone of any note struck on any instrument and Just how many "harmonics" or co-existent vibra tions are bornT6f each ground tone. For when you product a note on any musical instrument you get a mixture of variant vibrations, and It la because different mediums produce different mixtures even in the same note that the music of the violin li 'not like that of the piano, for Instance; that the flute differs from the trombone. Helmholts used to take a number of tuning forks, each differently keyed, and by using the right combinations, build up or Imitate the sounds of va rious Instruments. Dr. Can ill makes use of electrical currents just as Helm holts did of tuning forks, and since these currents are constant , and can be controlled perfectly by means of num erous switches as delicate as a mos quito's wings, the results are immeas urably in advance of the original ex periments made by the famous German. For example, to produce the sweet not of the violin. A. string (open), the Telharmonlc player presses the key that controls the dynamo making a current of 435 vibrations per second. This Is the number of vibrations in the ground tone- of the A string on your violin. But this one key does not gfve music that sounds like that of the violin. It is more like the flute. Helmholts ascertained that the A string open produced as Its first har monic 870 vibrations per second, so the player presses another key and mixes with the first set of vibrations a see ond set twice as . fast Tou notice a slight change in the sound, but still it is not that of the violin. The second har monlc demands 1,805 vibrations, and when these are mixed with the first two, you begin to wvnder. Two or three more currents mixed In and you exclaim, "Well, I never in all my life!" And in truth you are listen log to such perfect violin music as you never before heard for this Is pure sound, remember! And you have heard that music mixed to the proper consist ency lust as you one time saw, mother mix the cake batter. As with the violin, so with every other Instrument for the vibratory in gredients of each are known in exact figures, and having these Ingredients on tap, it is aa easy as eating to mix them. if vou know how. With the present equipment In New Tork only the muaio of eight, or ten in struments, including a chime of bells and a snare drum, can be mad, but In a short time the, additional dynamos and keyboards will be in place, and then the company which is financing Dr. Ca hlll's system will be ready to deliver most any kind of muslo to Its custom ers, many of whom have already' signed contracts. ' '.,.;' 1 ; The music will be sold by the hour; No contract for fewer than'800 hours a year will be made, and it may be of interest to add that the price will be 20 cents an hour. . - .; Two main cables for the transmission of the music-currents have been laid in Fifth avenue and Broadway and con nections win be . made from these as demanded, As coon as the present can tral supply station Is completed, several others will be started. Each station will be in operation 24 hours a day. ' Different players will take turns at the keyboards, and from four stations or sets of stations, four different classes of muslo will be ob tainable. There will be four sets of wires. ' One set will carry operatio mu sic, another popular, a third sacred and a fou tin classical. Thus it will be possible for a sub' scriber to change the nature of the muslo at will by simply doing what Edith in "Looking Backward" did walking across the room and touching one or two sqrwi.;;-,At- And the program will be arranged aa Bellamy described in his prophetic vi sion. j ..
