PLAYS A DIFFERENT PART

The Rose Coghlan-L. r. Stockwell
company will arrive in Butte tomorrow
and open their engagement at Ma
guire's opera house in the evening. The
company is just now probably the best
advertised organization on the road.
A few days ago the press -ep1rts re-
lated that Emily Lytton, the
unfortunate wife of that false pretense.
]. X. Emmet. had left her husband at
Denison. Texas, and. with s4.700 in cash
and some diamonds belonging to her
husband, had gone to California to
join man 'ifor whom alone she ex-
periences consuming love-" as the dis
patches put it. 1t apepars now, how
ever, that Mrs. Emmet has Joined the
Coghlan-Stockwell company. which is
now touring Montana, and the San
Francisco Examiner has the following
to say about 1t:
Emily Lytton. the actress, may be
counted as missing by her husband, j.
X. Emmett, who is playing Fritz in
Madhouse" in Memphis. Tenn. but she
is in fact safe and sound in the land OF
the living and is to-day with the Stock
well-Coghlan dramatic combination.
Edmond Hayes, the leading man of
that company, is said to be the cause
of Mrs. Emmet's departure from her
husbands side. The $4,700 she took
with her has gone partly to pay the
the company, which has been anything
but successful since 1t left this city.
Miss Lytton was supposed to be de-
voted to her husband. When he took
a shot at her last May, in the fiat at
1911 Leavenworth street, she followed
him to the city prison with tears in her
eyes and refused to testify against him
when the case was set for trial. Con-
sequently 1t was believed that she was
more than infatuated with him, and
when Mr.. Emmet decided to mend his
broken ways, to stray no more into the
paths of wickedness and keep away
from the flowing bowl, the world was
willing to accept them as two beings
whom the ties of love held bound for
life.
"But shortly after this escapade, at a
benefit in the Grand opera house in
which the Emmets took part, Mrs. EN-
met met Mr.. Hayes, who played the
hero roles in Moroscoes company. He
had a double-barreled heroic role that
day; his black wig hung down his back
in curls, his shirt was cut open, show
ing an expanse of manly breast; his
eyebrows were arched with grease
paint; he wore knickerbockerE, and
had a pink ribbon around his left knee.
Mrs. Emmet's heart went out to
this man and, although shortly after
she had left San Francisco with her
husband, she wrote a letter to Hayes
in which she vowed that she would re-
turn to him some time. She was true
to her word, and when she did come
back, their attachment became so ap-
parent to the local mummers that it
became common talk.
Mrs. Emmett did not leave her hus-
band at Denison, Tex, a week ago, as
the dispatch from Memphis stated. The
| N..TI. L.
ago, before the Stockwell company left
for the North, Mr.. Hayes having been
engaged by Mr.. Stockwell to play the
leads" in his company. Miss Lytton
also secured an engagement in the
same company. Although she was a
clever actress and had been accustom-
ed to play in first parts, she was con-
tent to play servants characters and
such things, in order to be near Hayes
and, 1t Is said, that whenever she saw
him clasped in the fond and ample en-
brace of Miss Coghlan she would turn
green with envy.
Miss Lytton opened in Oakland. The
company played there for two nights,
and two of the players were engaged
by Henry Dixey for his monologue,
but had been loaned to Mr.. Stockwell
| to strengthen his cast One of them
knew Miss Lytton by sight. He went
to Mr.. Hayes on one occasion and ask
The leading man replied that it was
not Mrs. Emmett, but her sister. Miss
Mabel Lytton, and that they bore a
very close resemblance From Oakland
| the company went to Los Angeles and
| Southern California At Los Angeles,
| Miss Margaret Craven, who was a
| member, left and returned to San
San Francisco. Miss Lytton took her
place for a short while, but returned
| to the servants roles, so as to be on
| the stage as little as possible. After
an unsuccessful tour in the southern
portion of the state, the company re-
| turned to this city and then went
| north. Hayes and Miss Lytton were
| always seen together, and they travel
| ed from Los Angeles to San Francisco
| alone.
when the steamer Columbia sailed
| for Portland all the members of the
company were aboard with the excep-
| tion of Miss Lytton and Mr.. Hayes
| Stockwell implored the captain to hold
the boat for a few minutes. and sent
scores OF messengers up town TO find
| the missing people. The messengers
| came back unrewarded. Captain Bolles
of the Columbia held the steamer for i;
minutes and then began to steam away
from the wharf. The vessel had gone
about 800 feet when a carriage dashed
| down the pier containing Hayes and
Miss Lytton. They jumped out and
waved to Stockwell, who was standing
on the quarter-deck and. to be obliging
| Captain Bolles put back to the wharf
and took the tardy actors aboard.
THE s4.700 which Mrs. Emmet tool
from her husband has helped to pay

pany. II Is said that Mrs. Epmet now
owns the major share of the Stockwel
combination and is supremely happy
with the man of her hearts desire"
