NEW YORK, Nov. g. Under the fostering
wing of the Madison Square management
Miss Carrie Turner has lately attained consid-
cradle distinction as the exponent of the
REALISTICALLY emotional Young Mrs. Win
throp.n Though comparatively young ac-
tress, she has been perhaps the most promis-
ing of the many young actresses who are en-
gagged by the Madison Square company for a
term of years. Miss Turner's con-
tract was for four years. and for that space
of time the management thought themselves
secure of her. services But the vanity of
human wishes has once more been illustrated,
and Miss Carrie Turner will no longer por-
tray the chastened grief of Young Mrs.
Winthrop at her husbands too frequent use
Of the latchlley Instead Of Young Mrs.
Winthrop she will hereafter pose as
young Mrs. His Casting aside forever
the glittering prospect of enacting long
series of Madison square heroines for the
moral elevation of posterity, Miss Turner
has, metaphorically speaking, torn her four
years contract into fragments and cast them
at Daniel Frohman's feet Mr.. Frohman
naturally feels grieved He has worked
hard and well not only to fiJ Miss Turner for
the position of leading actress, but also to
prepare the public mind to receive her as
such, and his labor is practically thrown
away
About eighteen months ago Miss Turner
formed the acquaintance of a blonde but
manly young Swede, Albert His, who was
engaged in the unromantic pursuit of keep
ing the books of a downtown merchant
He was a goodlooking young fellow, with a
small fair moustache, and soon became a
frequent visitor to the Madison Square
theatre, where Miss Turner was play
ing. The acquaintance soon ripened
into intimacy. A few months ago it
was noticed by the management that Miss
Turner was evidently not paying that undi-
vided attention to her professional duties
which had before been her chief character
istic She complained that she was tired
of playing young Mrs. Winthrop" and
wanted a change. As the play has as yet
barely run one year out of its allotted
seven OF Whereabouts, the Madison Square
management failed to comprehend how
any one could tire of playing part in so
short time. Miss Turner's request for new
worlds to conquer was met with polite but
| firm negative, and the matter, it was thought,
had been amicably adjusted Last Sunday,
however. Miss Turner and the Madison
| Square company that has been playing
I ''on the road reached New Yorl
preparatory to opening a weeks run
at the Brooklyn Park theatre Mis-
Turner requested an audience witt
| Mr. Frohman. The announcement she has
TO make caused her manager much surprise
Il was no less than the statement that she haC
been married to Mr. His for nearly year
and wanted to go to Europe with him OF
Wednesday. Argument and entieaty wer
of no avail the only concession made beinj
that she would deter her departure for weel
and play out the Brooklyn engagement. S,
matters stand at present. The American stag
loses pretty, bright and promising actress,
| and Danisl Frohman will hereafter insert
forfeiture clause in all the Madison Squan
theatre contracts
Miss Turner, or rather Mrs. His, was seel
at the Brooklyn Park theatre. She wa
dressed for her part and waiting for he

with a carefully waxad hut fair moustache

Eyes, am really married. said the youn
actress with gay laugh, ''and have bee
