There is one figure missing on the RI
alto, Maurice Barrymore, the prince of
laterday players, is seen no more. This
tine actor, who upward OF score of
years has charmed the eyes Of women
and won the admiration of men. is con-
| fined at Rloomingdale. probably never
again to emerge 4 sound and well man.
Of all the leading men and stars there
is not one who quite fills his place. There
is 10 one among them all-Hackett, Soth-
ern, Morgan, Faversham. Edeson, Blair
or even Mansheld-who filled the eye so
pleasingly as dear old Barrymore. He
had the broad chest that made him the
ideal Mercutio, the perfect Orlando, the
Fascinating Capt Swift and the per-
feet embodiment Of q hundred other
characters that call TOR ROBUST manhood
There was nothing pretty and curly
big, fine. healthy, happy man on and off
the stage, and that is why he will be
missed.
Now that Burnett Y. Tiffany has been
left more than $1.000.OOO by his fathers
will many wonder il any increase will be
made in the amount settled upon his
eleven-day bride, formerly Miss Emma
n. Pierson. who since she secured her
divorce has been living with her mother
at East Orange. 1t is limited that the
husband and wife may be reunited. 1t
is said that Burnett Tiffany within the
past two months spoke of his wife as
1.-The only woman" that he had ever loved
or ever would: Mrs. Tiffany blames her
husbands father for causing him to de-
serr her. Il met my husband at the
home of mutual friend in New York
she is reported as having said,
land he was devoted to me for six
months before married him. 1t was
love affair pure and simple I naturally
procured divorce on the ground of de-
sertion when [ discovered that my hus-
band had gone abroad and had no inten-
ton of returning to me. The fact that
he has been left more than $1,OOO,OOO
by his fathers will does not mean that
l will attempt to have the settlement
made on me increased"
Members Of the well known Knicker-
booker Athletic Club have decided to
take active steps to save the organiza-
ton from going to pieces, and to that
end have authorized President G.. S.
Whltson to name a committee of ten to
confer as to the plan Of action to be
followed, The idea prevailing now is to
change the club from a proprietary one
to members organization This step
is direct result of a suit began by
Adrian Iselin against John H. Ballantine
and John D. Adams to foreclose a mort
gage of 100000 on the buildings occu-
pied by the club. Heretofore the organi-
zation has been run financially by Mr..
Ballantine and the decision Of the meet
ing practically amounted to rejection
of MI Ballantine's policy and a deter
mination to proceed without his assist
ance in the future. Ever since it's for
nation the Knickerbocker Club has had
one trouble after another and it's vicissi-
tudes have been many. Originally it
was the famous old Manhattan Athletic
Club, but dissension grew and it's place
was taken by the Picqua Club. It's
career was brief and then came the
knickerbocker. The new life built up
a magnificent club and at one time the
best athletes in the country were among
it's members. Harry Cornish came from
Chicago few years ago to take the posi-
ton of athletic director of the club.
