The former "Floradora' girl was out
for her morning walk when an Evening
Journal man asked at the hotel concern

formed, however that Goldie-the same
pretty girl who captured the heart OF the
Pittsburg millionaire two years ago-was
there and might be pleased to meet the
newspaper men. It developed later that
she was. This is what she told The Even

Goldie declared that her stage name
would be plain Goidie Mohr. She was
loathe to disclose her identity yet later
rather frankly admitted that she was Al
Ian Woods widow. There is nothing OF
the stage affoctation in Gcldie's PERSONAL

ment and culture. She denied that her an
pearance on the stage was to get even
with her late husbands relatives as is
told below. Her sister Is travelling with
her.

decked with diamonds, throws kisses at

women with her magnificent gowns, and
attracts the admiration of all by her
daintiness and beauty. Her stage setting
is a. curtain of roses before which she
dances gracefully and sings sweetly. Mr.
Dockstader this morning could not explain
why his most distinguished performer
was not down on the program, but he was
sure Goldie would explain the reason.

for the unmerciful snubbing they gave

public and on the death Of Wood.
To-day the story came ont how a young
daughter Of the millionaire. on the first
meeting with the vaudeville artist who
had become her stepmother, snubbed her
