Character in Latest Civic

Drama Recalled by Former Officer in Austrian Army

Harry F. Steffan Personally Knew Several of Lead-

ing Figures Portrayed in Anderson Play Which Opens Tomorrow.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNCN

Harry F. Steffan, who served eight years in the Austrian cavalry

and remembers the days of the Emperor Franz Joseph, has been an inwrested observer at the Civic Theater's rehearsals of “The Masque of Kings.” As a captain in the Fourteenth Dragoons he knew several characters of the Maxwell Anderson play which opens tomorrow for a sixnight run at the Playhouse. In his regiment was Count Hoyos, aide to Crown Prince Rudolph. He recalls the Count as a taciturn person who refused to discuss the mysterrous happenings at Mayerling where Rudolph and his beloved Marie Vetsera died. He recalls army maneuvers before the Emperor who was “a remarkable gentleman, straight and erect even in his seventies.” The Fourteenth Dragoons was named for Prince Su Windischgraetz and, traditionally, a member of the family always served in it. Prince Su’s brother married Elizabeth, daughter of Rudolph and Princess Stephanie of Belgium, and Mr. Steffan came to know her. Bratfisch, who also appears in the play, was a fiker (cabby) whom Rudolph trusted implicitly, Mr. Steffan said. “Instead of using the royal carriage, Rudolph had Bratfisch take him to Mayerling on the visit that ended in his death.” Among the mementoes of his life in Austria Mr. Steffan has an informal snapshot of Emperor Karl, Franz Joseph's nephew and successor. The picture was taken at a race and the Emperor is chatting with Mr. Steffan’s brother, Frederick. The theater's recently organized affairs committee is to sponsor the opening performance of the play. Several members will be ushers including Mesdames Frank Harold Victor, Maurice T. Harrell, Rone old S. Skyrme and Miss Helen Coffey. Mr. Victor and Mr. Harrell will serve on the door and other ushers will be the Misses Bewy Nanderhils and Harriet Flowers. Mr. Skyrme is a member of e cast. Mr. and Mrs. Emmet Hyman of New York will be among Mr. and Mrs. Robert Emmet Kelly's guests. Mr. and Mrs. William H. Ball of Muncie will bring a party of seven and Mrs. Norman Green, whose husband plays Emperor Franz Joseph, will attend with a party of ten. Mrs. George T. Parry, a member of the furniture committee for the play, and Mr. Parry will see the show with Mrs. Chestina Mauzy and My. Parry’s mother, Mrs. St. Clair Parry, who recently returned from orida. Others arranging groups include Mrs. William MacGregor Morris, affairs committee chairman, and Mr. Morris; Messrs. and Mesdames H. H. Arnholter, Thomas Harvey Cox, Mortimer C. Furscott, Erwin A. Schafer, Thomas J. Scanlon, E. S. Wierback, Garrett W. Olds, Keénneth R. Badger and George W. Badger; the Misses Eldena and Sara Lauter, Ina Gaskill and P. W. Ross.

Spring Dance Planned

Mrs. William F. Wiggins, ticket chairman, and her corps of team captains are dispensing tickets for the Stansfield Circle’s spring dance

Armstrong. Mrs. John Messick, president, presided at the monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Indianapolis Day Nursery at 10 a. m. today at the nursery. ;
