New York Stage.
Cincinnati EuQuigeg,
Sadie Martinez, the beautiful and dash
ing actress has retained man of con
siderable literary note to describe her
new stage costumes in tlowery, ornate and
graphic Eogilss.
Here is good story Of Sadie, told TO
mo by one of the chaps who figures in it,
and il really does her no discredit. Away
back in '73 or Whereabouts, two young
writer's, both OF whom have since become
we'll known factors in Metropolitan life,
lived in Sixth avenue in the building oc-
Supied by the Eagle Theatre. Clever i'm
peCunious, needless of the morrow, they
lived as such Young men have lived from
the rose-colored days of Henri Muir
ger down to the present year of prosaic
grace, 1888. Sometimes they dined
luxuriously, and some time they "hustledh
for dinner in an Amerioanlged Vel do
Boheme fashion. Bat unlike their Gallo
prototypes and foretuuntrs they were
nearly always we'll dressed.
Their wash bill was one OF their heavi-
est items % expense or credit. The
laundfess was q certain Mrs. Martin, and
every Saturday night found that indus
trious and conlding woman awaiting
their arrival on the stair case which led
to their lofty lodgings. Sometimes Mrs.
Martin got her money and sometimes she
didn't. Sometimes she brought the clean
shirts herself and sometimes she entrust-
ed them to her daughter sally, a slip of n
girl of 10 or rs.
One Saturday night ae the two Bohe
mian's we're returning TO their quarters,
one OF them aaid into his mate, How'll
we square old Mrs. Martin tonightf l
owe her about IS, and | suppose your
bill is about IA much IA that, too"
"Mine's 80, rejoined the other, land
guess wen have TO do something about 10.
BY the way, thats q mighty good looking
daugh liter OF hers who brings the clothes
sometimes. wonder II che wouldn't like
10 20 on the stage. That would ease
matters n little Bit may be"
"1'o be sure said the Other, at any
rate wen try it on, and igst then they
reached their destuatioo and found Sally
Martin waiting for them on the staircase
with the bundle of Glenn linen in her lap.
Good evening my DEAR said The
younger of the two journalists, with a
pleasant smile. "SRlly, how would you
like 20 go on tho. stpgo aud be an 40
treesm
The girls eyes sparkled aith delight.
"Ohl I'd like it ever so much she eN-
claimed. al hear they pay big wages on
the stago"
'Well, my dear rejoiued the journalist
with smile of beuevolouoo, ~ think we
can fix it for you. .Iow you come here
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock and bring
! your mother with you-you eau leave
those clothes here, they1l be all right
and wen see about getting YOU an en-
/ gaRcment"
Sally Martin DATED OF with flushed
cheeks aud beating heart. Az 10 o'aloch
the next morning abe was On hand in
company with her mother, who was en-
thusiastic in regard TO tho plan, for she
also had heard that they "paid big wages'
on the stage. The result OF the confer
onoe was that the daughter was engaged
| by Josh Hart TO appear at the Eagle
Theatre ut "A salary OF SIS week as a
| hguarante.
"And now" said the benevolent Hohe-
mian, you must have stage name, for
II would never do for an actress 10 be
called Sally Martin. Think we'd better
| Gallicize 10 into Sadie Martinot."
And Sadie Martinot it was and will bs
| to the end OF the chapter"
