other proceedings tending to prove that
married life and the careers of actors and
actresses are Incompatible says the New
York Telegraph, certainly occur with de-
gree of rapidity which must be convinc-
ing to al least that large portion of the
public which makes notes of effects with
out searching for their causes. The necas-
stiles of the theatrical profession fire.
quently compel the parting of husbands
and wives for long periods at a time.
These separations often lead TO estrange-
ments which could hardly occur if the per-
sons interested We're constantly together,
and thus enabled to enjoy the delights of
domesticity. In some instances, where one
or both are weak or predispOsed to folly,
unfaithfulness is the fruit Of these part
ings Unfortunately, it is a rare occur
renee that an actor is enabled to possess
a settled home, for the reason that his
professional duties keep him travelling
from place to place throughout the greater
part of the year. II is true of the men of
the stage, as of the followers of all other
callings who must be ever on the move,
that in contemplating matrimony they
should consider it problem Of the utmost
gravity. 1t is, however, TO be said that
the infelcities of married life among the
players are more extensively exaggerated
than those Of persons whose lives have
beeen cast in other paths. Therefore, while
it is true that life on the stage under eX-
listing conditions does not tend to moral
exaltation, or The faithful observance of
marriage vows, there is still vastly more
smoke than fire in the popular impression
regarding the private lives and characters
of the actors.

Under the rules of the new charter for
Greater New York, which goes into effect
on Jan /, the licenses to be issued in
tha f1t1lre for theaters and theatrical per-
forrnances will have to be obtained from
police headquarters. The mayor will not is
sue them. but win have the veto power if
a question is raised.
Some one gives this reason why actors
always preserve a youthful appearance;
at is not due 50 much to the paint nee
essary in making up which obliterates
to a certain extent the natural wrinkles
of the skin while it lubricates and nour-
ishes it, but it is due to the change in the
expression of the various emotions which
every part demands. This causes the ac-
tor TO bring all the muscles of the face
into play. BY using them equally they
all maintain their firm consistency and
strength, and none waste away from dis
use. The result is that the skin is kept
stretched and tense over the face and does
not fall into hollows."
