ganizing the entertainment and Undue
ing her associates in the opera to sing
with her. Plancon, hubert, Saville and
others volunteered to appear for her
sake, and the French singer was de-
lighted But a small accident nearly
spoiled everything. When Plancon ar
rived he noticed Mile. Calve standing In
the wings, and at the entrance to the
stage a number of bouquets He looked.
at them and turned to Mile. Calve and
protested that he would never sing SO
long as the flowers were allowed TO re-
main where they were. Calve only gave
him one look and followed that with a
brief and emphatic expression of her
opinion or man who couldn't sing be-
cause there were flowers in the wings
When she had finished this she turned
and walked out of the theater in her
light dress. When her surprised assoc
ciate found her she was standing in
Thirty-eighth street trying to get her
cab. 1t took the combined efforts of
everybody connected with the concert
to get her to return and consent to
sing; and the most earnest in his efforts
to placate her was Plancon, whose in
nocent little remark about the flowers
had destroyed the prima donna's equa-
nimity. 1t was a few incidents of this
kind that led Horace McVicker to say
that, although music may soothe some
DOuy SdNdBe breast, IL rarely has
an influence subjectively.
Jennie Yeamans has begun suit in
New York for divorce from her hus-
band, Charles Il. Dillingham;, on the
statutory grounds. Miss Yeamans has
been divorced before. Her first hus-
band was c. Lester of the Lester and

a divorce from Lester some five years
Mr. Tli1IinOharo nd
mans were married about three years
ago, shortly after Miss Yeamans had
appeared in a play of his called '12 d.

cessful. Two years ago when she
starred in Jane" Mr.. Dillingham; was
her manager Last season Mr.. Dilling-

ersole, and at present he is in London
as Charles Frohman's secretary.
Miss Yeamans is the youngest daugh-
ter of Mrs. Annie Yeamans, the cele-
brated character actress. She is an
Australian by birth and made her de-
but on the stage 30 odd years ago as
an infant phenomenon. Her greatest
success of late years was in "Blue
Jeans" In which she created the part
of June. Miss Yeamans is now leading
woman in THE Night Clerk"
Another little item from the West |
should be recorded. 1t comes from
Vincennes, Ind, and is to the effect |
that Manager Guy McJimsey of the /
opera house now does a highly appre-
ciated character sketch between the
acts of plays" 1t was only a few
weeks ago that 1t was there stated that
Manager McJimsey had added the
management of the opera house to his
list of business duties, and that il /
would not interfere with his manage /
ment of the McJimsey Buggy works.
His enterprise in appearing in char

plays presented at his theater shows

A New York dispatch says that Mr.
