HOW PLAYS ARE NAMED.
A Simple Incident Which Suggested
my Lady Dainty"

Few people outside of the dramatic
profession have the least idea what
trivial events sometimes suggest the
titles of plays, says an exchange. Acci-
dent more often than consideration is
the cause for many a play name An
instance might be quoted of Madeleine
Iucette Ryley's latest production, MY
Lady Dainty which Mr. Kelley ana
Miss Shannon are producing. Sorae
years ago. when Miss Shannon was in
one of Charles Frohman'S companies,
while at breakfast in a Philadelphia
hotel wherein the attendants were
negroes the manager and the actress
happened to be seated at table looked
after by a courteous old cOlored man
who had formerly been at Louisville
hotel, and, having come in contact with
many professional people there, ne
recognized the two over whom ne hao
to preside Knowing the gentleman to
be liberal in tips if well attended to ne
put his best foot forward. Miss shan
nom who is a dainty eater under all cir
cumstances had been suffering from
dyspepsia, and when the waiter came
with his usual inquiry, What can 90
to tempt your appetite this morning
the actress replied: Don't try TO tempt
nv appetite; bring me exactly what L
order and not an atom more. You may
bring me a piece of tOaSt-not the usual
soggy pieces of bread which you bring
with three dark brown stripes on each
side, but have it toasted through = es,

waiter; mot soggy in the middle; yes

egg echoed the waiter, as he started
to leave to give the order. Miss shan
non called him back, remarking, Have
the egg well done on one SIDE,
upon which the old fellow i'm
rnediateIy inquired, Eyes, num-
YES. mum, which side, please
mun?" 1t is needless to say both MISS
Shannon and Mr.. Frohman laughed
heartily at this. and at the finish Mr..
Frrohman dubbed the actress My Lady

That was many years ago, before Miss
Shannon was a star. Some time ago

rights of Mrs. Ryley's latest play, ana

lady, and, as this marriage took place
while his daughters were very young
Miss Laurence grew up to regard her
amiable and artistic step-mother with
great affection.
1t is no wonder that Laurence Alma
