I have robbed my benefactress. Wine and ‘women were my downfall, I walked along the White Way, where I spent my, last few dollars. I have bidden the bright lights goodby and have come fo expiate my crime.” * The young man identified himself as Bloch, @ native of Switzer- dal where, he said, his father is a ‘wealthy in dealer, ‘When wae turned over to De- tective George McGann he confessed tbat he had robbed Mrs. Grace Gil- more, a widow, of No. 31 West 46th Street, He said they had been intro- duced ‘by friends and that he had oc- coupled in Mrs, Gilmore's home, He left there Nov. 28, he said, with @ mesh bag, a watch, a ring, two cigarette cases and a gold fob, which he pawned for $50. He had lived in cheap rooming houses, Mrs. Gilmore reported the robbery the day after it happened and was notified by the police to-day, but had not appeared at the station, Bloch is charged with grand larceny. He is twenty-three. Tt is also alleged against Bloch that he played fast and loose with Mrs, Gilmore's rare wines and liquors. After his disappearance tt was found that many of the bottles had peen emptied and refilled with water. Bloch, who is well educated and has % polished manner, told Detective Mc- Gann his father gave him a lange “stake” two and one-half years ago. He began playing the races and nar- escaped becoming a dope fiend in China, but found Broadway's temptations the worst of all. It was there, he said, he dissipated the last of the money his father had given him. He was held in $500 bail for the Grand Jury. REAL COUNT HELD HERE FOR LARCENY: SISTER A PRINCESS ‘Prisoner Posed as Heir to $10,000,000, Assistant to Swann Says. os Count Vavislaw C. Komorowsky of Poland, linguist formerly an officer im the Austrian army, was held in $10,000 bail for further examination by Magistrate Simpson in the Centre Street Court torday on a charge of grand larceny. He is alleged to have obtained '§9,000 by relating a story about a “$10,000,000 thheritance”’ awaiting him in London. On the strength of a statement ob- tained from the Count—who, by the way, is a real Count—Detectives Cooper and Newman also arrested Maksymilian Tulija, a clerk, No. 162 Kast 86th Street, charged with acting ia concert. Among the alleged victims are: A. Parker Nevin, lawyer, No. 30 Church Street, who says he lost $1,000; Steven de Csesnak President of the Export American Industries, who places his loss at $5,000; and George Fudakowski, now in Warsaw, who 1g said to have yielded $3,000. The Count admitted that he had obtained the money by means of ‘bogus cable messages from his imag- inary London solicitors and letters from the “Public Trustee” of Lon- don, to the effect that he had avail- able funds amounting to £2,387,219. Komorowsky, who lives with his wife and child at No. 336 Hast 86th Street, is, according to Mr. Talley, a Polish Count, whose sister was a Princess and who left him about 41,000, long since spent. He is also, ays Mr. Talley, a civil engineer of ability, who received his education in Vienna and made his first visit to Americe !n 1889. Komorowsky, Mr. Talley said, was employed as a cellar man in a Childs restaurant here, but when not work- ing at his job posed as a Polish per- sonage. Komorowsky was arrested in Mr, Talley’s office by Detectives Cooper and Newmap, It is said he has been in this city since 1892. : sa tO SON OF STRONG DIES; Nathaniel Stron, e years old, @fed to-day in the Passaic General Hospital, making the fourth victim of the New York architect, Mason R.

Written more than a hundred years ago, it sank into slumber and died before migst of us were born, Now it is resurrected and served up anew for present-day delectation. Mr. Gatti has clothed it in rich habili- ments, given it a sumptuous dotting, and made it a feast for the eye that is worthy of a better subject. The pity of it! For the music falls flat ‘upon the ear and its artistic appeal makes for almost nothing. The book by Angelo Annelli is com- monplace. Some broad jokes in the original Italian aroused laughter last night, but the flavor of them escaped fy the -English translation. Don't bother to read the fibretto. The syn- ovsis will suffice. The story in brief is of a ‘eathen Turk, Mustafa, who tires of his favorite concubine Elvira, and sends his myrmidons to capture an Italian woman to succeed her. One such, Isabella, shipwrecked while in search of her lover, Lindoro, falls to hand. Mustafa is enraptured. He gives Elvira to Lindoro, whom fate has made a glave, and- anticipates happiness with Isabella, But the lat- ter is too clever for Mustafa’s dull wit, She initiates him into the order of Papitacct, a secret society with rites that would make any college boy roar with laughter because of their crudeness. While he is perform- ing his stunts the lovers escape, and Curtain! Didur was Mustafa, a broad comedy vein, his makeup suggesting Falstaff, although the lines gave him no opportunity for display of the fat knight's wit or unctuousness, What he pad to cing was of no matter as to the manner. Gabriella Besanzoni was not happily cast as Isabella, She lacked some- thing of the necessary air:ness (@ action and in voice. She is better suited to more serious characters. Marie Sundelius was Ely sing- ing well,,and Kathleen Howard was her maid, who did weil the little sbe had to sing and do. Millo Picco was satisfactory as *Haly, the factotum of Mustafa, Charles Hackett was Lindoro, and Giuseppe de Luca was Taddeo, a discarded lover of Isa- portwayed in thereby falling into favor with Mus- tapha, Both these artists sang well tunity, scored in acting. i Now a word for the real protag- onists.
