ALONE In DENVER.
Margery Thompson Marries L. l..
LOupe of This City.
Like Arabs They Wander He Attempts the
Variety Business to Get Back.
Deserts Her at Last

Margery Thompson has ere this realized
deeply tile meaning of the phrase, irony
of fate" and her lot is a sad one indeed.
At one time one of the bright particular
stars of a variety-farc e-comedy travelling
combination, she became fascinated with a
nair of black mustaches on a man, the COW
ering for whose neither extremities had to
be cut with q circular saw, and now Is
playing a star engagement in Deserted in
Denver"
The deserter who captured her head,
heart and hand, and who perforce must
also acknowledge the soft impeachment. Is
Emil Lou Loupe-erstwhile gay drummer
halling from San Francisco, but now a
woud-be variety actor, located where or
with what aggregation-if with any, Is not
known.
1t was In the latter part Of the summer OF
100. in fact the last of hot July, when "A
Pair of Jacks" arrived in this city and
opened at the Bush-street Theater. Among
the members of the company who plrouetted
in gay and fantastic costumes, muchly
abbreviated at both ends, were two striking
brunettes, with glossy curls and dark flash
ing ewes. Two pairs of well-turned ankles
and mastery of the many Intricate eye ana
mind bewldering steps OF the variety stage
dances soon installed them In the minds
prime favOrltes.
TWO STAGE BEAUTIES.
Their names were Margery and Molle
Thompson, sisters, daughters OF John
Thompson, who, in years gone by, was we'll
known among comedians from his creation
of the comedy part OF "On Hand, ana
their being on the stage was yeriflcatilon
of the old saw, Like father, like son, or
in their case, like daughters"
Among those who were particularly taken
with the sisters, or rather with Margery,
was LOupe, and many OF his sesterceS or
shekels did he squander IN token. OF his
ardent admiration. He was rather prepos-
seSSing In face, and love HOwed from his
tongue like liquid honey.
1t is said that he represented that his
parents were very wealthy, and he wanted
TO cherish her, 10 remove her from the cares
and worries incident to the life she was lead
ing, to make her path one Of roses forever
and aye.
She was willing, and Just before the COM
pany was ready to lie itself nOrthward the
twain were made one. He went with tue
company until they neared Seattle, when
one fine morning LOupe and his Margery
turned up missing, and the company went
into brief mourning for the loss Of one OF
its star attractions.
PRACTICING A DOUBLE ACT.
Just what the couple did or where they
honeymoon is not definitely known, but by
some means-prObably her salary-they
managed to exist and reach New York,
where one year afterward they were seen
by theatrical man, at present In this city,
who says they were practicing double act
TO 90 out on the road with a variety COM
pany to earn their way back 10 San Fran
cisco.
What was the result Of the venture may
be inferred from the story that now leaks
out that Margery has been deserted in Dem
yer. and has been forced to apply for the
necessary funds TO live upon TO her sister
Mollie, now connected with The Hustler
Company" who is deeply indignant at
LOupe for his contemplate treatment o. her
sister.
Loupe has not been seen in the haunts he
was won't 10 frequent, but it is believed
that he is in town, brought back by the
promises of forgiveness from the parents he
lncensed by marrying stage beauty, and
by the hope, also, Of being able to lead a
more luxurious life than he has for the past
year and a half.
