Heralded by the advance fanfare that customarily precedes the arrival in this country of one of the high lights of the European stage, Mme. Simone Casimir-Perter, the French actress, came quietly into town to-day from aboard the White Star liner Oceanic. While she didn't make any nolse h self, her maids, her secretaries, her dogs and her three acore trunks mado clamor enough to cause tympannic concusstons. In addition to her vast retinue of at- tendants and her prodigious amount of luggage, Mme. Casimir-Perter brought her second husband, whose name she bears, a son of a former President of France, a 004 looking young man who 1s reported to have a habit of spending money that made Bont de Castellane in his prime look like a piker. M. Casimir- Perter succeeded as husband to La S!- mone the noted French actor, Le Bargy. WILL PLAY ENGLISH VERSIONS OF SEVERAL FRENCH PLAYS, It was somewhat of a shock to the squadron of ship news reportera who clustered about Mme. Casimir-Perler to discover that she spoke fluent English and with scarcely a trace of French ac- cent. She will appear in this country tn the Anglicised versions of several famous French plays, among them ‘La Rafale,” (Dhe Squall), which 1s said to equal in its daring anything ever produced on the French stage—that is, anything of the nature of dramatic art. “I was very reluctant to come to America,” said La Simone, “because of an instinotive horror of the sea, I can. not eay that I have overcome this fear, suffered extremely during I have been ill most every minute eince I boarded the ship, and it was a great relief to me to see the land of your America rise up through the mist and the su. glow upon the silm Pyramids and towers of your great city ot New York.

They thought I had merely begun to study for the plays I will appear in here. In- deed, I have spoken English since I was three years old. I had an English governess, and I am not sure but that I learned English before I learned French. “There is one thing I must overcome, though—my habit of speaking so rap- idly ‘ That !s where my French com- bats with my English, I will have to strive and do better on the stage, for you English-speaking people are slow talkers.” Asked about the cabled reports that There ts no doubt that the Furopean| she had gone into the courts of France | to have her fortune taken out of her husband's control because of his fond- ness for burning up money, Mme. mir-Perter laughed gally and replted “Oh, yes, he likes to spend money, but he is @ dear.
