HT E WE'RE discussing paid In
w Full" which, by the way, Will
" be continued a third week at
the Burbank theater. From opinions
As to the merits of the play, our con-
versation veered off into a discussion
of chow to be happy though married"
Naturally enough, one of the party
which happened to be composed of men
made bold to ask the following queS-
ton
What is the prime requisite man
should seek in the woman he Wlshes 10
marry?"
In other words, what personal char
acteristic, trait or accomplishment Is
necessary in woman'S makeup TO insure
happy married life, /. e., to make "a
husband happy?
Now, the subject is a large one, and
might be discussed till the crack of
doom without being exhausted or de-
termined finally. Tones have been
written upon the subject 1 shall give
briefly the ideas of my male friends:
Said Bachelor No. /: II want my wlte,
if l ever happen to fall by the wayside
and purchase a license, TO be intellect
ual. even brilliant, and of an artistic
disposition. prefer above all else that
she be musical"
Said Bachelor No. 2: generosity
tolerance and kindliness are the corner
stones upon which happiness is built
The wife must be generous in forgiving
and forgetting her husbands faults.
Said Bachelor No. 8: IF a woman
knows how to sympathize with her
husband she will make him happy.
When he is happy let her be happy.
When he is the reverse, let her be SYM
pathetic enough to dispell the gloom:
a sympathetic woman will understand
her husbands moods and will act ac-
cordingly. At least, that Is the sort OF
wife should want"
Said Married Man No. 1: "Wives are
not debatable; not to be measured and
a valuation placed upon them. A man
never knows what he wants until he
has got it, Then he wants something
else. l guess mother love Is chiefest
among all assets, however"
Said ex-Married Man No. 1: Being
able to show man that she loves him
with all her heart, soul and being,
without telling him so, is the prime
requisite of wife.
Maybe each-maybe all of them are
right. Who knows?
Belasco patrons will soon miss the
soul-stirring melodies which emanate
from Victor Schertzinger's violin, for
he and his sister Hazel intend going
into vaudeville early In the fall. Victor
is the author of dozens of songs as well
as eight musical acts now knocking
'em out of their seats" in the variety
houses. When he isn't drawing his
bow over his violin srings he is writing
music and planning new acts. The
vaudeville effort of the Schertzingers
will be a musical one, for Victor is an
adept with violin, piano and cello,
while his sister has gained much fame
as a harpist and pianist. The new act
has already been booked on big eastern
time and will in the course of months
be seen locally.
That's Magrane, former leading wom-
an of the Belasco theater, and now
playing the leading role in 1.-THE Spend
thrift" Porter Emerson Brownies dra-
ma which has made such a hit at the
Hudson theater, New York, tells of the
trials attendant upon taking play
into New York for production. Fol-
lowing Is an excerpt from Miss Ma
graine's letter:
have been through the most ter
rible siege since leaving Los Ange-
les-the only city in the country for
me- You've no idea what it means
to bring play into New York. We
played about fifty versions of the
piece, which would scarcely be rec
ognized as the same play produced
in Los Angeles. The final change
was In the male lead. That meant
more rehearsals, and then a trial
ION the dog" as they call a try
out performance in the small cities
near New York. Edmund Breese
now plays opposite me.
Believe me, 1 was a sick child
and half dead from exhaustion
when we opened here-so much so
that 1 couldn't appreciate one bit
all the nice things said in the pa
pers. Not single paper gave us
bad nouce.
The play produced on the road un-
khn "a
liked at al, but since the changes
have been made and the title made
1.-THE Spendthrift," the play has
proved almost a knockout We may
run all summer, though 1 hope not,
for l want a rest and an oppor-
tunity to run out to Los Angeles.
