Remember Boy You're Irish, Gathering
the Myrtle with Mary, The Rose Song,
and his ever popular Peek-a-Boo next
week at the Grand in Shane-na-Lawn.
Marie Roze and Harry Map1eson.
A private cable has been received in
New York stating that Marie Roze and
Harry Mapleson have separated and the
marriage been annulled on the ground of
illegality. Harry Mapleson is son OF
the famous Colonel, and it has always
been considered that he and his wife
were most loving and contented couple.
Twelve years ago Marie Roze came to
this country. She was under the man.
agement OF the great and only Colonel,
and Harry was also prominent member
OF the company.
His attention to the fair Marie at
tracted attention, and it finally was
stated that they had been married in
London just before they sailed for
America. At first the rumor was de-
MED, but after while Marie and Harry
both admitted that they were man and
wife.
From then until now the world be-
lieved them to be model couple. Now
the story is told that in reality the
marriage in London was merely a cere-
mony of convenience. The first rupture
is said to have been brought about by
Auber, the famous composer, who was
very much smitten with the charming
Marie, but who received no encourage
ment.
Her First Theatrical Fuss.
Mrs. Leslie Carter is on the brink of
her first theatrical lawsuit. When sew
eral months ago she began to make pre-
parations to 60 upon the stage the we'll
known actor, William j. Ferguson, was
chosen as her leading man and engaged
for the season of twenty-five weeks from
Oct. l, at a salary of $3.50 per week.
Two months ago he wrote letter to
E. ID. Price, Mrs. Carter's manager,
stating that, acting under the advice OF
his physician, he would not be able to
carry out his contract.
He is now playing with Richard
Mansfield in 'Beau Brummel." Yester-
day Howe Il Hummell secured an order
from Judge Patterson, of the supreme
court, requiring Ferguson to show
cause why he should not be restrained
from appearing with any other company
than that of Mrs. Louise Dudley Carter
1t is said that when Mrs. Carter nego-
tiated with David Belasco for play
provision was made for special part
for Ferguson. Now, it is said, some
managers have heard of Ferguson's
withdrawal and threatened to break the
engagements.
The Pick of the Chorus Market.
"Chorus girls" said Manager Ben
Stern, 'are as scarce as hens teeth
They have all graduated, wear a new
crop of blonde hair and black tin ha
and have become full-fedged soubrettes
A couple of days ago l advertised fol
one hundred soubrettes to 60 in the
chorus, and now the woods are full o
'em."
''You are fastidious about you
choice" queried friend, ''there are So
many in the market?"
"Well, yes. I've got to be-" said Mr.
Stern, "but it is q singular fact that tht
majority of all who apply have al
played Juliet at one time or other, an(
there isn't fair-haired damsel amons
them who can't sing the Jewel sons
from Faust"
"Up to Date ?"
''No, the original. So, to make thing
pleasant, l have taken a hint from
THE City Directory and given all m,
chorus people nice thinking parts, ant
as consequence have the pick OF tn
market"
