ITEMS OF INTEREST
IN THE NOVEMBER
THEATER MAGAZINE

A prominent feature OF the Theater
Magazine for November is a most in
teresting interview with George Ade. in
which the successful dramatist. whose
income from his royalties exceeded last
year the salary Of the President OF the
Unitd States. makes a declaration OF
principles in regard to his ambitions
and future work for the stage. Another
readable article is an account of the
artistic career of Nine. Schumann-
Heink, the Wagnerian singer. who has
recently made her debut in American
comic opera This is illustrated with
rare portraits Of her at a very early
age.
Ada Patterson continues the delight
full chats with players, her subject this
month being Annie Irish, and Aubrey
Lanston contributes a charninglv
written article on Mrs. SiddOns. Mont
rose ]. Moses continues his papers on
Famous Families Of American Plav-
ers.2 This months installment is
devoted to the Sotherns. An arti-
Gle entitled "Curiosities of Dramatic
Criticism" is likely to arouse
some comment for some of the
blunt truths it tells. and there is an in
tefestlng account or the gift of a the
ater by a philanthropist TO a town in
Minnesota The pictures. as usual are
very elaborate. The story of David
Warfeld's great success, The Music
Master" is told completely in picture
form, and so is George AIDES comedy.
The College Widow
There are also large plates of Mrs.
Patrick Campbell in the "Sorceress.
Viola Allen in "A Winters Tale" Otis
Skinner in The Harvester" Anna
Held in "Higgledy Piggledy." Henry
Miller in Joseph Entangled" scenes
from The Sho-Gun'' and. from Fan
tana," Loves Lottery. - Business Is

traits of Edgar Selwyn. h Reeves

room at the hour of five, with both
maidens beside their embellishments of
flowers.
On the same afternoon Mrs. Frank
Sullivan entertained at luncheon in her
beautiful home on Washington street
and Van Ness avenue, with handsome
Helen Pettigrew the guest of honor.
Miss Pettigrew's wedding takes place
on the 9th.
There seems to be small need of an
excuse for fetes these merry, busy
days. but every event is made raison
d'etre. The Corners home are wined
and dined, the outgoing ones are
''tea-ed," the stay-at- homes are given
receptions-for what? Stability, per-
haps. But, with it all, the spirit of
affection and true good fellowship
abounds and whatever the cause. West
ern hospitality and generosity seem not
on the wane.
To bid them godspeed, Raphael WE'LL
named as his guests of honor on We'd
nesday last Mr.. and Mrs. John c.
Wilson. The Bohemian Club red room,
with it's rich dressing, was further
heightened in beauty by the lavish
distribution of roses. Miss Grace
Spreckels, Miss Helen Wagner, Mr.. and
Mrs. John d. Spreckels Jr., Barbour
Lathrop, E. NJ Greenway, Edgar Miz-
ner and Raphael WE'LL unanimously
and severally expressed sentiments be-
fitting the hour.
The perfection of the itinerary which
the Wilson's have selected lies as much
in its elasticity as in the countries
themselves. Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson left
San Francisco yesterday, and with but
a glance at Chicago and New York
will set sail from Boston on the 18th.
Thursday night brought the long
looked-for and long -wished-for Win
ship-Dillon wedding, thus bringing to
a fitting climax a pretty bit of romance.
A striking looking woman at all times,
Miss Dillon made a fascinating bride.
And maids, list ye. That exquisite
robe was made in San Francisco, and
a health to the bride for the fine spirit
displayed therein, and may others take
heed and follow worthy example.
The ceremony was, as in all Catholic
services, solemn and impressive, and
was celebrated at an altar a-gleam
with candles, illunnining a wilderness
of white blossoms.
And this at the foot of a Murillo Ma
donna. Cute little maids were the floral
bearers, Miss Margaret Casey and Miss
Kate Crodar, in their little
white frocks. The attendants.
Miss Caroline Fosgate, Miss Sara
Collier, Miss Grace Spreckels, Miss
Ethel Moore and Miss Patricia Co.'S
grave, were che rming in pink chiffon
frool-s and bearing carnations. The
home decorations were superb, thou
sands of blossoms having been culled
to grace the glad affair.
Among the guests who dined with the
gallant officer and his bride were: Miss
Caroline Fosgate, Miss Sara Collier,
Miss Grace Spreckels, Miss Ethel
Moore, Miss Patricia Cosgrave, Pay
master Ball, u. S. NJ; DIR. and Mrs.

Younger She has positively prolonged
her foreign stay into years. SO that San
