BEFORE going further let me give you the
cast of principals in one of the proauc-
| tions of the Miles company:
afore''-Josephine, Sallie Cohen;
Buttercup, Ella Emanuel and Daisy Hook

7 submit tho above in interesting connec-
| tion with Mr. Miles recent narration to
mo of what had since become of all of his
wonderfully versatile youngsters. Sallie
Cohen he told me- is now the wife of John
C. Rice lately of the comedy firm of Mon
roo & Rice Her sister Fanny, you
l,now. is the clever eccentric coincidence
who played Cindcrs in Charles Frohman S
production of "The Lost Paradise" The
other two sisters, Mamie and lilly, have
withdrawn from the stage and are living
in retirement in their Cincinnati home.
Ella Emanuel is the wife of New York
banker named Love- she has had two
children, one dying lately. Daisy Hooker
is still on the comic opera boards, but I'M
der the moro romantic name of Catherine
Linyard. She has had two husbands, was
divorced from the first (his name was Cal
houn, and had a child by him); her second
husband is jeweler in New York named
Sweetser Ida de Court is settled in Seat
tie, married to a prosperous sporting gen

Midgeley and tho mother of one child

cut rate railroad ticket man in Cincinnati
and married besides. Both of the Sloman
boys are in the tobacco business, one in
Chicago, tho other in Louisville, and both
married.
have not forgotten the Brough sisters.
l have reserved them until now, for the
reason that there is more than history
conferred in the one sister described above
as Fanny Brough." L say described"
advisedly, since she has, according to COM
mon report, preferred to be known as Ju-
liza Marlowe. Her sister, Annie, who was
chiefly in the chorus of Miles juveniles,
also copies Fannys whim for undertaking
to conceal her Juvenile identity by adopt
ing the nom de theatre of Marie Brough-
ton, but presume this was the price she
paid in order to become a member of the
Marlowe company.
From the foregoing it is evident that
Mr.. Miles introduced to professional stage
life more young people than any other
theatrical manager on record. Any ono OF
the youngsters is q credit to him. All of
them certainly hold his memory dear.
