Matinee Idols Married Men

THERE has been considerable spec
ulation among the wise as to
whether or not Louis Stone, the
Belasco's leading man, will cease to be
matinee idol" now that he is a
benedict. But why should he? Nearly
all the matinee idols are married.
Otis Skinner, who used to be more
of matinee idol than he is now, is
one of the most scholarly of the actors
before whose photographs ecstatic
young matinee girls have burned can
dies. Skinner's wife, who was Maud
Durbin on the stage, and their child
absorb all of his attention that is not
given to his work.
Ellen Berg, who before she died was
Mrs. Robert Edeson, was the chief
inspiration of her husband, who is also
ranked as matinee favorite. He has
a penchant for playing parts in which
he accomplishes divers and sundry
heroic feats, and these achievements
naturally endear him to the feminine
heart. In all his work until the death
of his wife Edeson was guided by her
criticism.
William Faversham is another matt
nee idol who tries to please his wife
before he pleases anybody else. Alfred
Hickman, who was Blanche Walsh's
husband, had matinee idol aspirations
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-27

once, and Virginia Harned's husband,
E. H. Sothern, has always been one of
the most popular matinee idols that
the American stage has had.
One of the matinee idols who has
done well for himself is Mace Green
leaf, who until lately was leading man
In the Burbank stock company in Cali
fornia. He became the husband of Mrs.
Lucy Banning Bradbury and stepped
from salary of $125 week into the
possession of more than a million dol
lars. Joseph Galbraith, formerly of
the Belasco, is another matinee idol
who married rich and who abandoned
the precarious paths of matinee idol
airy for the steadier and more lucra-
tive business of selling real estate.
The abaility to take a good photo
graph is one of the best assets that a
matinee idol can have. His pictures
possess a financial as we'll as an artis-
tic value, and no manager will have
much faith in a matinee idol whose
photographs do not finish up we'll
Also the matinee idol must have
height, although Sothern is slightly
under the medium size and still sue
ceeds. Broad shoulders are an asset
and unless an actor has a good voice
he might as well abandon all hope
of distinguishing himself as a matinee
idol

Actresses as MANAGERS

(SCENHE logical head of the playhouse
Is one who acts" says Amelia
Bingham, who has produced
many successful plays. A woman's
power to humor, cajole and to sympa-
thize with the players in their ambi-
tions and weaknesses often makes her
a better manager than a man. Amelia
Bingham always surrounds herself
with an excellent company and her pro-
ductions show the result Of the time,
money and intelligence spent in stag
ing them
This season Maxine Elliott is her own
manager. She is blessed with a keen
sense that ought to assure her success
in the undertaking. She booked her
own route, which contains, by the way
seventeen solid weeks of one night
stands. She also is planning to go to
Australia.
Margaret Anglin is another actress
manager and with Henry Miller and
Lee Shubert is associated in the Henry
| Miller company, which is producing
THE Great Divide" with emphatic sue
cess. AT least five other companies are
under their joint direction, including
Brown of Harvard" in which Mar
garet Anglin owns third part
When Lewis Morrison was taken ill
five years ago his wife, Florence Rob-
erts, took out a company herself which
she both managed and backed. Ever
since she has been her own manager
and chooses her plays, mounts them,
selects the cast and rehearses the COM
pany. That she has succeeded is shown
in the fact that she has made money
as well as won artistic success.
Two years ago Adelaide Keim, who
now is appearing successfully in '"The
Prince of India" formed a stock COM
pany of her own and played at the
Harlem opera house, New York, dur
ing the warm weather. Her most not
able offering was Hamlet" of which
she gave most meritorious perform
ance.
Sarah Bernhardt has her own theater

| May Irwin, whose mission is to make
| people laugh, and to keep them laugh
| ing, herself finds cause for jubilatio in
the big rent rolls that appertain to her
holdings of real estate in New York.
Actors now have summer homes and
"rogues and vagabonds," as they once
were termed, do not usually affect.
William Gillette has a town house, a
yacht and summer place in the Caro-
linas. Kyrle Bellew spends his sum-
mers on board yacht of which he is
owner and sailing master.
Julia Marlowe has a fine country
place, as has Viola Allen, who by the
way, is now playing her last season on
the stage. She is Mrs. Peter Duryea of
Kentucky, and when this season ex-
pires she will go to Kentucky to live
upon an immense estate owned by her
husband. Modjeska, who left her ma
tive Poland because she hated the per-
secutions there, did so we'll on the
stage in this country that she owns a
ranch in Southern California. Mans
held has made a great deal of money
since the days that he went penniless
in Boston streets, and among the peo-
pie of the stage there are to be found
dozens of men and women who have
succeeded in accommodating great deal
more money than "rogues and vaga-
bonds" usually have.
Money, of course, is not an infallible
badge of respectability but the "rogues
and vagabonds' of bygone times never
even had money. The salaries that
were paid to leading men then would
not be accepted now by utility actors,
and the amount of money that is now
spent in single production would have
equipped all the productions of sea-
son during the times that the law called
all actors "rogues and vagabonds."
