Rhode Island.
The historical collection from Rhode
Island consists OF valuable old docu-
ments Of all kinds, pictures and other
links Of connection between past and
present. An old. faded parchment,
dated In 1887. contains a request OF the
settlers to inhabit the ''towne OF Prov
idence," This strange document was
signed by thirteen settlers. THE con.
firmation deed Of Roger Williams and
a letter from Oliver Cromwell TO the
colony OF Rhode Island are among the
interesting papers shown here; also

value pertaining to the troubles which

Connecticut.
Connecticut has one of the hand
soonest state buildings at the James
town exposition, beautifully located
on the shores Of Hampton Roads. Its
exhibit in the States Exhibits Palace
is also we'll worthy OF comment The
Connecticut building was constructed
after the general plan Of the old Tai
mage home at Lltchfeld, the oSchitec-
ture being closely followed, with the
interior somewhat changed to conform
TO modern Ideas and eonyenlences.
The historical features OF the Con-
necticut building are not confined TO
the house alone, for its walls contain
many articles Of historical value, Here
is preserved The celebrated "constitu-
ton tablet" consisting of the Connect
cut coat of arms. beneath which are
the words Connecticut Stnte.' On
both sides of this tablet are quotations
from famous writer's and historians
who played prominent parts in Amerl-
can history.

Vaudeville a Foe to Divorce Court

VAUDEVILLE, by It's populdril Ss
" has served a strange end IN the
theatrical business. 1t has less
ened stage divorces and increased the
marital happiness of theatrical folk
| One of the great causes of divorce
| between actors and their wives during
the entire history of the drama has
been the fact that they were apart so
much of the time. With the wife work.
ing in some road company and the hus-
band perhaps engaged for the season
in some New York theater, or with both
on the road with different companies,
they had small opportunity for seeing
each other. and the result was either
the cooling of love, the increase of sus-
picion, or the conduct which sooner or
later led to the divorce courts.
However, the increased popularity of
vaudeville as a form of entertainment
has changed this to a large extent
merely because vaudeville has given
the husband and wife the opportunity
to remain together throughout the sea-
son as we'll as during the summer
months. Many actors have deserted
the "legit" and gone into vaudeville
merely for the sake of being with their
wives. Many stage women who might
have made more money with some road
company prefer the vaudeville because
it gives them a chance to be with their
husbands.
Probably 95 per cent o. all the
teams" working on the vaudeville cir
cult are man and wife. Although it
may not sound true the fact is that
stage people, or a great majority of
them, love their families just like peo-
pie outside the profession do. They
long for companionship and comrade-
ship as much as if. as one actor says,
they were human beings" 1t is not
pleasant for a husband and wife to
separate in September to see each other
perhaps the next June; but in ordinary
companies there is small chance for a
husband and wife both to find places
that fit them in the cast, and theatrical
companies do not like to carry anyone
who does not fit.
Vaudeville has offered an opportunity
to escape the annual separation. Pos
sibly the husband makes $100 a week
in the ''legit" and the wife $75. If they
double up as a team the chances are
that, until they get a reputation in
vaudeville, they will not command more
than S125 to $3.50 for the team. But
they figure they will be together all the
tune, that notel ana traNellng expenses
will be decreased greatly, and that in
the season they will be "all square,"
even if they do not get any more
"time" than they did with regular
companies.
So they work up a sketch" and go
out together in the vaudeville, and are
together, and usually happy. Few di-
vorces result under this arrangement
On the other hand clever actor may
have married a woman either not of
the stage or of mediocre ability. Vau-
deville affords a chance for them to
remain together. The clever one gets
up a sketch and, by doing most of the
work and using his mate as foil gets
them engagements.
AS means to happy married life the
vaudeville is the hest thing invented
in the amusement line.

WHEELER-GRAND


that infant whom all the Robertsons,
the GoodWins and the Elliotts idolize.
One of the English actors who has
been most successful on the stage in
this country this season has been VIII
liam Hawtrey. He is a brother of
Charles Hawtrey, who came over here
in Richard Ganthony's "A Message
from Mars who followed in "The Man
from Blankley's,' and who then fa-
vored this country with a few selec-
tions of himself in vaudeville.
All the sons of Joseph Jefferson have
acted, although the taste Of one Of
them inclined more to the business de-
partment of the theater. The Barry
moreS, the Drews, the Mestayers, the
Jeffersons, the Boucicaults, the Wilkes,
the Booths, the Clarkes, and the other
old time theatrical families of the
American stage all contribute many
names to the list composed of those
actors and actresses who in going upon
the stage only followed in the foot
steps that had been made earlier by
other members of the same family
Lillian RusselPs daughter. Dorothy
Russell, is on the stage. So is Louise
Drew, John Drew's daughter. So are
Ethel Lionel and John Barrymore, the
only children of the great wit, Maurice
Barrymore. So is Henry Millers son.
So is Frederick Warde's son and Louis
James daughter. Joe t1erDerLS s SOn Is
in Lew Fields company. Bob Hill
liard's son, who used to be clever in
private theatricals, is in the navy May
Irwin's boys help her take care Of her
investments in New York real estate.
Bernhardt's son, Maurice, is in charge
of some of the business arrangements
in her Paris theater. When his gifted
and ageless mother, about whom 1T is
as true as it was about Cleopatra, that
"age cannot wither her, nor custom
stale her infinite variety" was lost in
the United States she dispatched daily
wires to Maurice. The one she sent
from the tent the first time she used
it in Texas was: $50 droll, my boy,
SO droll."
The Clarkes, both that branch of the.
family headed by Creston Clarke, who
is Edwin Booths nephew, and that
branch to which belongs Harry Corson
Clarke, have placed many of their
members upon the stage. Henry E.
Dixey is at the head of one theatrical
company and his daughter. Mabel
Dixey, is at the head of another.
Olga Nethersole took her brother into
the show business. He is tall and
English parsonage, free neither from
the monocle nor the everlasting topper.
When his sister first came to this
country he came with her. After
awhile he exchanged the management
of her style of emotional acting for
that sort of emotional acting acted by
Frank Daniels Now he is back with
his sister.
