, apondent.
Washington, Aug. 31.—Edward Al
bert, prince of Wales and heir to
the British throne, was the guest of
President Coolidge at the White House
for two hours arid a half Saturday.
The prince and president met for
the first time today, lunched togeth
er, chatted Informally for nearly an
hour and parted in the evening the
best friends in the world.
Tonight the prince returned to New
York to witness the International polo
matches, the chief reason for his sec
ond .trip to America.
accordance with the wishes of
tho prince, no pomp or ceremony
marked hiB call on the president, and
there was no formality about the
prince either. He wore a blue loung
ing suit with dark brown shoes, a
rakish gray felt hat and a blue shirt
with a soft collar, ndorned by a black
Rnd- red necktie. A gayly colored
scarf hung from the pocket of his
coat.
Prince on Holiday.
Secretary of State Hughes, who
greeted th^ prince when he arrived
at the union station at 1 o'clock, and
President Coolidge, who welcomed
him the moment he stepped Inside the
great glass doors of the executive
mansion, were attired in formal morn
ing coats, but not so the prince. He
was on a holiday and he refused to be
dressed up, even to meet the presi
dent of the United Stotes.
Clothes made no difference, how
ever, either to the officials who met
the prince or the thousands of men
and women who Jammed Pennsyl
vania avenue from the capltol to the
White House to catch a glimpse of the
future king of England as he sped by
In a White House automobile, chat
ting amicably with Secretary Hughes.
The crowds became so dense along
the route laid out for the passage of
the royal party that police reserves
were called out to drive back the
throngs and It became necessary to
close the great Iron gates of the
White House.
When the time for the prince's de
parture arrived, the president and
members of his cabinet hade him fare
well, Mrs. Coolidge Joining In saying
they were sorry that he could not
stay longer and Inviting him to
"come again.”
Waves to Crowd.
Secretary Hughes accompanied the
prince from the White House to the
station and saw him safely on his
train. As the train pulled out, the
prince, standing stiffly at attention
on the rear platform, came to a mili
tary salute and then waved to those
cn the latform, a wistful smile play
ing around his mouth.
The prince left at the White House
for distribution to the press a state
ment addressed to the "people of
Washington." It said:
"I would like to express my very
deep gratitude to the people of Wash
ington for their kind welcome to me
on this hot day. To have the chance
of paying my respects to the chief ex
ecutive of the United States has been
eagerly anticipated by me, but I did
not expect that affectionate reception
which the citizens themselves have
afforded me.
"My present visit to this country Is
purely a holiday one, but the charm
of It Is enhanced by the manner in
which It Is being received In all
quarters. I thank you all very
much.”

While Fond Father Is in Europe Untangling Estate,
OmahaHeiressSlipsOff to Seek Fame on Broadway
Mitzi Schubert Tells How
She Played Gunga Dhin on
Battlefields of World
War.
By WILLIAM W. LAMPMANN.
While her father Is in Austria puz
zling over the war tangled affairs in
volving the estate of Franz Schu
bert, the famous composer’s great
granddaughter and heiress, Mitzi, is
slipping away to seek a niche for
her name amid the electric splen
dor of Broadway's theaters.
Michael Schubert has frowned on
his daughter’s dramatic ambitions.
What will he do when he finds his
Slitzl behind the footlights when he
returns?
“Just what any parent would do,”
laughs the girl, tossing her brown
bobbed hair. “It’ll be all right."
To Visit Brother.
More than 10 years ago Mitzi re
solved to establish herself, some day,
as a stage favorite. Although her
previous attempts to win the recogni
tion of the critics have not flourished,
she left Omaha Saturday evening,
light hearted, fortified by persever
ance and Schubert temperament,
bound for the east and a serious try
for dramatic success.
Mitzi first will visit her brother,
Albert, who, with her, holds present
right to the estate of the great com
poser. Albert la manager of the
Loraine hotel, Madison, Wis. Then
after a visit to Milwaukee, the girl
will journey to New York City, where
she will study at the Frohman School
of Dramatic Art, before entering the
theatrical world once more.
“I’ll bring a stock company back to
Omaha,” Mitzi promised gayly as she
boarded her train. "You sure need
one here.”
Masquerade* as Boy.
With soft Viennese accent contrast
ing with American slang phrases,
Mitzi outlined the high spots of her
thus far short, but colorful life. She
described the bitter roles played by
herself, her father and brother in
war swept Europe when a weak spot
in their acting meant imprisonment,
perhaps death. Dressed as a boy in
clothing stripped from slain soldiers, i
the girl carried water to wounded sol
diers waiting for medical attention
and removal from the battlefield. She
ministered to dying men while shells
=*nd bullets whined and zipped their
death courses afciut b:r.
Yet this brown eyed, girlish Gunga
Dhin asserts that now she cannot
bear to look upon a dead bird.
“It was all so horrible,'* she says
of her experiences.
Born at Vienna.
To begin at the beginning, Mitzi
was named after the character in
"Blossomtime,'* a Schubert play in
which the composer is said to have
portrayed his life. She was born at
Vienna and came to the United
States with her father and brother in
1910. The girl was then 7 years old.
Scarcely had the little family be
come settled here than the last of
the European Schuberts died. Albert
and Mitzi were left rightful heirs. In
early 1914 their father took them
back to Vienna to arrange for the
transfer of the estate.
“'Everything was going smoothly,”
avers Mitzi. “Then someone up and
bumped off a prince.*’
War Smothers Plans.
The war which followed smothered
any plans of the Schuberts to settle
the estate. Mitzi entered the College
of Vienna and studied dramatic art.
But the family was not to await the
outcome of the strife peacefully at
Vienna.
The Italians launched their fierce
offensive against the Austrians. Tho
father, sole guardian of Mitzi and Al
bert, faced compulsory military serv
ice, so the trio slipped away from
Vienna.
Their only possessions those which
they could carry, father, brother and
sister set out on foot across war
stricken central Europe, hound for
the Atlantic coast, where they might
secure passage to America.
More Than Two Years.
It took them more than two years
of privation, slow and furtive travel.
*.^ V
SMitzi cScfiu6ert
before they reached Brussels. Bel
gium. During that time they suc
cessfully escaped detection by mili
tary authorties.
"Whatever territory we were In,
that's where we made them believe
we belonged," recounts Mitzl.
“Several times we were questioned,
but wo always happened to think of
answers that satisfied our querists.
Several times my father was blind or
crippled to excuse his absence from
service to military officers.
"While we tvere In Germany terri
tory, Albert and X served as water
boys. We were dressed in parts of
old uniforms, found by the roadside or
taken from bodies of dead soldiers.
Whenever we saw an article on a
dead man, which we needed, we Just
took It.
"While we were cnrlng for the
wounded on the battlefield we were
supposed to bo protected by the Red
Cross insignia. But If a bulled did
hit you, It didn’t count."
The trio finally reached German
invaded Belgium, where Michael
Schubert successfully posed as a
Frenchman during tha remainder of
the war.
On returning to the United States,
the little family settled In the middle
west. Michael Schubert is now the
United States representative in Buda
pest.
Mitzl played as second Ingenue with
the Garrick Players of Wisconsin for
a time. Then she formed her own
company, the Dolly Revue, which,
however, went broke at Ottumwa, la.,
last winter.
Th$ girl came to Omaha last Feb
ruary. She has been employed at
the Ensign studio, 2906 Leavenworth
street, and has continued her dra
matic study at the J. Simmons Davis
School of Expression, Aquila court.
Now she is ready once more to assail
the stage.
Mltzi thinks little of the estate in
Austria which may someday be hers.
Her dreams are all of a brilliant
stage career.
“Someday when I'm a success. I'll
marry,’’ she declares.
“Then I want to go back to Vienna
and live."
