that Charlie Fr0hman intends to make Z

wonderful things do happen in this fairy
land called the stage.-Brooklyn Citizen.
Aside from his quarter century of n
interrupted partnership with Irving, Ellen
Terry has been constant in nothing. With
all her grace, and beauty, and talent, she
has been tickle to a degree, and with so
little warrant, that one forgets the mood
ishness that has marked our own Lillian
RusselPs conduct of her marital affairs!
Ellen Terry four times has changed her
name for that of as many men-and by
no change did she abide for long. She is
a matured, mellowed woman now, retain
ing much of her youthful opulence of per-
sonal charm. but, seemingly, quite ridden
of the fantastic eccentric4ties that made
her marked even among women of the
English stage. She is a grandmother now,
and Sir Henry has achieved similar dis
tinction in a parental sense, a child having
been born to his son. H. B.. Irving (who
married Dorothea Baird, Beerbohm Trees
Trilby). several weeks ago.. j. Dom
aghey, in Philadelphia Item.
Since her marriage says Hillary Bell.
Mrs. Mansfield has better advanced her
husbands interests ny tne recent invest
ment of his fast-growing estate than, pos
sibly, she could have done by remaining
on the stage. Other theatrical weddings
have resulted in no loss to the drama. Nj.
and Mrs. Kendall act amiably together,
carrying Virtue hand in hand and spread
ing the fame Of dramatic morality to every
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Sothern perform on
the same stage without any such disas-
trous results to their business as were
anticipated by the management. The fact
that he carried her to the altar caused no
abatement of Mr.. Ziegfield's activity in
furthering the interests of his wife, and his
efforts have so ingeniously supplemented
her own that at present Anna Held holds
a position of prosperity. Fritz Williams
and his bride, Katherine Florence, are
constant in employment and good humor.
Since she married a millionaire Julia Ar
thur has been enabled to carry out her
luxurious ideas of stage productions. Maui
rice Barrymore, the handsomest of actors,
and Georgia Drew. the most engaging of
actresses, went into matrimony without
falling out of fortune, and eventually gave
to our stage Ethel Barrymore, who prom
ises TO be one of its chief Mrs.
John Drew, like Mrs. Richard Mansfield,
retired from the theatre after marriage,
but now she has given a hostage to it in
the person of her daughter. who will be a
member of Mr.. Drew's company next sea-
son. MAJ Goodwin has been married many
times without losing his hold on mirth
lovers, and in his latest spouse. Maxine
Elliott. he has permanently engaged a
leading lady whose beauty, grace and tall
ent materially advance his prosperity.
De Wolf Hopper, another much-married
man, remains in fortune, while his latest
widow is star of the new production at
the Victoria. Lillian Russell steadily pro-
gressed in art and renown through her
three marriages, and now, as the relict of
Signor Perugini, she is in receipt of the
largest salary ever paid to a vaudevillian."
