Mrs Prescott has been in the city for
the past six months, presumably for her
health, but in reality giving all her time
and attention to fitting herself for the
stage. No one about the theater nor any
of the people the lady has met during her
stay here had any idea that the woman
who was making so many sacrifices in
arts name was the wife Of a millionaire
She made no use of her social position to
help her in her artistic career, preferring
to stand on her own merits
On Monday evening well-known Port

Miss Virginia Drew as Mrs. Trescott. and
yesterday the escapade of the million
aires wife was the sole theme of gossip
both in social and theatrical circles.

known she frankly acknowledged that
rumor was correct and that she had left
ease and luxury for art.
