Marriage Was UHknOnn
To Washington Friends

Until the receipt of the anove dis
patches from San Francisco last night
nothing had been known IN WASHING
ton of the marriage of Mrs. Louise Scott
and Alexandra Garland.
The couple last figured publicly IN
May of this year, when Mrs. Garland
then Scott-was hailed into Police Court
because CT a dispute she had with her
milliner. The outcome, despite the
chivalrous efforts of Senior Garland,
who appeared as a witness in her be-
half. was a fine o. S24 imposed on the
defendant.
Just a year previous, attention had
been centered on the pair. when CO.
Charles Edwards, former secretary OF
the Democratic Congressional campaign
committee, was said to have stabbed
Senior Garland in a midnight dispute.
There was no prosecution in that case,
az Garland declined - make formal
charges against his alleged assailant.

Value of the Show.
The value OF a theatrical production
lies not in the star nor in the theater,
bat in the piece itself. The mere fact
of production in New York. London, or
PariB creates a valuable property which
may last for many yeas, perhaps for
generations.
There is nothing in tae world that
pays so well ana so quickly as a sue
cessful play or comic opera, and 20 be
successful ION the road in the United
States or the English provinces it IS
only necessary IN the first instance to
produce the play in the principal city or
either country.
The lite Of a successful play is d.
ficult to gauge, but there are many now
running that have been on the boards
for twenty to thirty years, having be-
come standard stock plays
There - a certain man In London who
Is and has been for many years living

which latter he acquired for an insig-

Though IN Ifis article We have chiefly
concerned ourselves with the better
known successes, still il can be said
that almost any moderately good play
can be made TO pay well, If IL is only
produced IN a satisfactory manner
that is, with adequate stage manage
meut. a good cast, and iudicious and
original advertising. In these days
the clever press agent is a factor IN
the exploitation OF dramatic offerings.
Growth Of Vaudeville.
