CASE OF A STAR AND HIS WIFE.
MARRIED COUPLES no BEST ON
THE STAGE WIEN APART.
Nat Goodwin and Maxine Elliott Each
Earning as Much Separately As They
Did Together Many Similar Cases
Plays Easier TO Get for Single Stars.

As a conclusion of business, 1t seems
plain that the actor and the actress who
happen TO be man and wife should not
act in the same company after they have
acquired certain Importance in their pro-
fession. SO long as they are nobodies
marriage makes no difference, but once
they stand in the fierce light that beats on
the centre of the stage it seems best for
them to separate.
Even with the leading man and the leading
woman who are husband and wife it makes
little difference whether they act together
or not Last summer the leading woman
of Il certain company did not speak to the
leading man, who In private life was her
husband. But the audience did not notice
any popularity in their manner, although
if they had been stars people would very
soon have remarked that something was
wrong between them.
Maxine Elliott, who has broken loose from
her husband. Nat Goodwin. so far "a her
theatrical efforts are concerned had become
quite too popular to share business and pub
lie favor with any other actor. c. b, Dill
lingham, who discovered Miss Elliott's
value as a star, knew that she would, in a
successful play, draw audiences just as
large as she and her husband had drawn
together. while Nat Goodwin would continue
to play to approximately the same business.
Miss Elliott luckily drew out of the Clyde
Fitch grab bag a success, and, behold, the
veritcation of Mr.. Dillinghams prophecy.
In the present arrangement husband and
wife are able to got parts that suit them
without having to struggle to find plays
that show them both to equal advantage.
1T is difficult enough TO find play to
fit a man or woman said Daniel Froh-
man TO a SUN reporter. Then think how
much more difficult it must be to find one
that has the two principal roles equally good
"It's all very well to say that the hero
and heroine will be of the same importance.
But with the exception of Romeo and Juliet,
there are very few plays OF which this is
true. Once plHy has been found that
suits the man, IL will in all probability have
a leading female role utterly unsuted TO
the other star, or OF no Importance
$50 the work Of selecting play which
shall suit both man and wife is enough to
discourage any manager. Then, separately
each is able to make as much money az
the two acting together
James X. Hackett is to-day one of the
most popular actors in the country and
his earnings every season are large Mary
Mannering. his wife, il one Of the popular
nowadays II is not probable that their
earnings would bc materially increased
