WHAT MONEY CANNOT BUY

Has the millionaire found happiness? "That all defends upon. the millionaire," said Baron Henri De Rothschild to - a ' Daily News' representative during a rehearsal of ' Croesus ' at the Garrick Theatre. The baron has written many plays, one of which rah 116 nights m Paris, but his latest work, ' Croesus,' he regards as his best effort. " I have written this play," he said, "to show what are the things that money cannot buy, and how it is that rich men have their peculiar worries and their grievances against fate.' I saw it stated the other day by Mr Rockefeller and Mr Carnegie that they were perfectly happy. I am not. Why ? . Because, for one thing, I am not materialistic. I know the world that lies cutside my world, and I seek to understand it and sympathise with it through heart, andi brain. The rich man is prone to set himself upon a pinnacle — to sit on a. sort of Olympus — as a superman who is above and has nothing to do with his fellows. I daresay he finds happiness m that way. But there aro other rich men who seek love, sympathy, and all the attributes of a heart, and m ' Croesus ' I have sought to interpret them psychologically — to 6how how they can find their happiness."
