with George Gould. Have you heard arv-
thing about such an escapade?n
Nothing but what I've read in Tho NO.
pers. But there's no foundation for If.
She's long wanted TO VISIT
Europe and the opportunity to do
so professionally could mott
be resisted. Solomon intends to star her in
Virginia. which has never been produced
in London, believe, and she'll score a
success
''What was her first success as lyric
artiste?"
''She made her first great hit in Pa
tience, then as Susan in Billee Taylor"
did she create a sensation?"
''Yes. she was a source of infinite admi-
ration to young New Workers. But all of
them were simply moths that futtered
about her as about a candle. She was, in
short, the queen of the dudes"
rs George Gould esteemed a dude?"
"Well. Gould ranks with them. A dude
with US is not the type of that creation
imagined out here"
what is dude, then, according to the
Specification put upon it in New York;"
"A young man of education, wealth, re-
spectability and eccentricity?"
is George Gould young man of edu-
cation, respectability and eccentricity?"
AS told you he ranks with the dudes"
WHO is Solomon"
Hes young man about thirty years of
age, the author of Billee Taylor and an
Englishman.''
" 1t is said that Lillian will meet with
warm reception from his wife when they
reach London"
He has no wife there, and the eIopment
story is very thin, Miss Russell is not the
kind of woman to get infatuated with
Solomon or any other man."
speaking of his London wife, who was
it that laid siege to his affections in New
York while he was there?"
He has no wife in London. Edith
Bland was the name of the woman who
made some trouble for him in New York.
But Miss Russell has not eloped with him.
Her departure is simply matter of busi-
ness. The trouble with her thorgh is, she
never had any head for business, and her
success in a measure spoilt her,
ut may be stated parenthetically, o.
marked writer the other day, that EI.th
Bland claims to be the wife of SOlU.-.....
Edith was once beautiful, but she as
grown to weigh something IN the neighbor-
hood of twenty stone, while Solomon kicks
the beam at 100 pounds, and according to
rumor if Edith catches him when he
reaches the other side, the glory of Solo
man will be farther than ever behind that
of Lillian
Renewing the conversation Mr.. Pastor
was asked what opinion was entertained
regarding the impending crisis in Haver-
ly's affairs among professional people.
Il know nothing about it. The only
feeling that can be expressed is that he
has two many irons in the fire. No one
man can conduct theatrical business and
other ventures successfully"
"Why not?"
because he hasn't brain enough to run
half dozen ventures at time"
''Will he get on his feet again?"
IF he's off his feet he will if he runs
one business at a time and lets other
things alone. And why not? There's 70
man in the profession more highly es-
teemed than Mr.. Haverly, and he can
get all the capital he wants to conduct
the theatrical business. What's to hinder
him?''
The reporter gave it up.
"Who is generally considered the most
successful manager in the country"
"That's difficult to determine, and
opinions differ. I think 1 have been more
than successful, but then, you see, I'm
with my company all the time and tend to
business. In the legitimate the Mallorys,
who have been running Hazel Kirke, and
Shook Il Collier, in the Sights of London,
have been eminently successful In the
minstrelsy and variety business, think
Mike Leavett, Thatcher, Primrose & West,
now playing at Niblo's, and myself have
been exceptionally blessed in that par
ticular.''
Recurring to Lillian Russell, Mr.. Pastor
emphasized what he had previously re-
marked concerning the lady, and predicted
that her success in the future would be
notable.
