Married three months. George Ainse
and Mary Brooks. two young members
of the Princess theater chorus. had
their welded life brought to an abrupt
conclusion by the action of the brides
mother, who rather than see her
daughters musical career sacrificed
spirited her away to Chicago.
Mrs. Brooks wanted her daughter to
have career. Miss Brooks wanted a
home end love- Alnse wanted Miss
Brooks. Thus stood the tangle until
three months ago when, despite the
mothers objections, the two young
singers took their affairs into their
own hands and were secretly married.
Lie for the young pair was one de-
iightful love song, albeit behind the
scenes Nothing was to be said, not a
soul was to know At the opportune
time the mother was to be made aware
or the situation and her parental
blessing received--all in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the
love stories they nightly played to-
gether.
Three weeks ago the mother learned
OF the marriage. She did not storm,
she did not create a scene. She came

head and laid her plans The day
after her arrival she asked her daugh-
ter to go for short automobile ride
with her. Ainse waved the two fare

happy ending and vowing big things
for the future
The automobile containing his bride
turned the corner-and that was the
last seen of her by him. Ainse waited

nor his mother reappeared. He waited
three days, and then. unable to bear the
suspense longer, secured leave of abb
sence and departed to Los Angeles,
where his mother in law resided, think
ing TO find them there. On showing
himself at the door he was denied adj
mission. Then, casting aside all
thoughts of the olive branch, he forced
his way into the house. determined to
ascertain for himself If his wife was
in, the place.
For this he was arrested for disturb
ing the peace. He fumed and fretted
his way to the police station, but on
telling his tale in the police court the
next day he was discharged. In the
meantime the mother and the daughter
had flown once more and it was only
yesterday that he discovered that his
bride had been taken to Chicago.

cess theater chorus by her mother The
girl had fine natural voice and her
mothers firm belief was that with
training and experience she would
eventually rise to a place of promi-
nence on the stage. The girl had fol-
lowed her studies but a short time
when she net Ainse and the beginning
of the romance was the end of the de-
sire for a career. The mother insisted.
however, that the girl should not
abandon the stage for married life. She
fought the marriage vigorously and.
