GIRL WHO COST KING MANUEL'S ROYAL LID Gaby Deslys, Actress, Credited With Portuguese Monarch's Overthrow, Now Here. "Now York.?Gaby Deslys, who is ,?redlted by common report with hav ilng overthrown the kingdom of Portu gal by infatuating King Manuel and lenticlng from him what was left in jibe royal treasury, is now here to fill professional engagements. She says |ehe is to receive $18,000 a week and it Iis probable that some of the $18,000 ?will be real money. She brought a be jwllderlng array of clothes and jewels land also her reputation as a monarchy idestroyer. The wonder is that this talented ac tress has not come over sooner. Why this strange delay? A lady with a redolent past and the destroyer of monarchy, she certainly had a right to ? expect sympathy and appreciation in irepublican America from the first. ; The only reason Imaginable for her (delay in coming to the country to [which foreign artists hasten to make their money as a rule is that she is so modest she did not realize the extent ,of her exploit. No doubt she said to \hcrsclf that Manuel was such a littl Gaby Deslys. Jting that his destroying siren would fhardly receive credit for having done anything worth while. And, to tell the truth, Manuel was a ?very little king oven at his best. To one who knew bint its intimately as Mile. IX^slys ho probably seemed even smaller than he appeared to the average newspaper reader. Compared even with a medium king like the late Xeopold of Belgium, he paled into iu Bignillcanoe. Gut the people over here are not so carping and critical as to hold that against her. She took the only king that was probably In sight at the time, and if he didn't happen to be one ?whose conduct amounted to very much ?Internationally, that was the lady's misfortune and not her fault. She did tier best with the material at hand. Of course, her reception would naturally be n little warmer and her receipts a little larger if she had managed to bring down larger game from the Eu ropean ropal preserves. Had she done that, it might not have been necessary for her to go to the trouble even of dancing in order to make the show a sniccras. But that Is another story.
