she doesn't think Of Young Gibbs or
any other man when she looks at the

Gladys Wallis took to her home in
Chicago coverings for every imaginable
piece Of furniture her Chicago home
could possibly contain before she mar

snatched her from the center of the
stage, and they were all embroidered
in wreaths and garlands of orange
blossoms.
OF course these exquisitely embroid-

perishable, and that is why they are
SO absolutely necessary to the hap

"rhe dramatists of Germany" says
the London DAILY Mail,'' ''have been
discussing the question whether an
author ought to respond to the call of
the public after the production of a
new piece. Literary opinion, as a
whole, would appear to be against this
time-honored custom. Paul Lindau
considers that the playwright has no
business whatever behind the foot
lights. Herr Lugmann and Herr Her
eel declare that they will never again
figure on the stage under any provoca-
tion whatever, while Herr Ebermann
regards it as an impertinence on the
part of the author to obtrude his per-
sonality upon an audience which, for
the most part, cares not a rap what he
is alike. On the other hand, Herr Ka-
delburg frankly confesses to feeling
h
the stage and receives the acclamations
of a well-filled house. Such occasions,
he declares, provide the happiest mo-
ments in his artistic career"

hangers on hereabout are expressing
exceeding regreat at the decision of
Cissie LOTUS, announced through

popularity on the other side of the At
lantic, and this is attested not only
through the eagerness of music hall
managers to pay stupendous sums for
her appearance, but also through the
frequently expressed wishes that she
will some day appear here in legitimate
drama or comedy once more.
Domestic infelicity,' says A. H.
Hummel, the New York lawyer. .is as
rare among actors and actresses as in
the most secluded and conservative So
ciety. My experience has proven to
me that there is more virtue in the
theatrical profession and less cause for
disorder among actors than there are
in the ranks of the wealthy society peo-
pie. OF course, it must be conceded
that a woman on the stage is more ex-
posed to temptation than her sisters
in private life, and also that the no.
madic character Of their lives makes
home life the exception. But actors
and actresses work hard Their time
is pretty fully taken up with their pro-
fession, and they have no time to think
of amours and intrigues."

worn stays on the stage in years, ex-

Suzanne Adams never years corsets on

the slightest reason why she should:

who sees her in Carmen; that Nine.
