A Noble Lord Marries a Variety Actress

reported marriage Of Lord Demlo, twenty
years old, the eldest son Of the earl Of Clan
carty, to Belle Bolton, o notorious variety
artistic, well known in and about town.
An interesting controversy Is proceeding on
the protest of Firth, royal academician, against
his new frock picture being used as soap ad-
vertisement. / have ascertained the views of
other leading artists. Millais has no objection
to such use OF his works and was pleased at the
reproduction of his bubbles. Stacy Marks re-
called Frederick Walkers saying. that artistic
advertisement was a most important branch Of
art. Hirkomer is enthusiastic on the possible
ties in that direction. The street hoardings
are the poor mans picture gallery, and artists
instead of prating about the degradation of
art. should rejoice at all opportunities Of dis
placing the usual vulgar staring posters.
