WHAT'S IL A NAME.
The Fashion of Stage Ladies' Denyip
Their Married Names

lher married Names.
The use by actresses of their maiden
names or assumed titles is common in the
theatrical profession. Say what YOU will
IL Is an evidence OF desire to create an nm
natural interest in the male portion of an
audience. True, many of the most esfima-
BILE women on the stage, model wives and
mothers, permit this suppression of their
wliely name from no wrong motives. and
simply at the pleading suggestion of mana
gers, who never hesitate at ANYTHING TO ex
cite the pruriency of the public. In the
days OF the old stock companies it was ems
tomary to see man and wife billed in the
cast as " Mr.. and Mrs" So and So. But
now you rarely see the marital title on the
play Dill, and yet strange to say there are
very lew women on the stage who are NOT
married. Think of that, We callow Youths
q who send tender missiyes and expensive
bouquets to favorites of the footlights
And not only are most of them married
but many of them have a brood of Iitrle
ones to look after. Let me run over for
you, IN proof of what I've said. a few names
that | can call to mind.
