New York, June 21.-Margaret IL
lington is going back on the stage
again, but she is not going to give
up darning the socks of her big
limbed, wide shouldered, rudy skin
ned husband, Edward j. Bowes, TO
whom she was married in Reno last
November, two minutes and 3S Sec
onds after she had divorced Daniel
Frohman.
With the consistent Inconsistency
of woman Mrs. Bowes declared today
that, whereas she had given up the
stage forever to become a normal,
womanly woman and please her hus-
band, she had learned in seven brief
months that it would be the per-
fectly normal thing for her to please
her husband by going back to the
stage.
Simple Life Suits Her.

Miss Ellington, with demure look
into the big blue eyes of the huge
Mr.. Bowes.
"Tickled me to DEATH doomed the
her talent. But say, doesn't she look
fine-like kid of 10? Just look at
that bloom in her cheek-got that
right out of our sunsets out west"
1.-THE simple domestic life and
darning socks seems to have agreed
with Miss Illington,' assented the re-
porter.

That's right; she can darn EN-.

Miss Fernando Eliscu, seen here last
season as Annie Jeffries in 1.-THE Third
Degree" and who will continue in the
same role the coming season, was fol
a year and q half the star of the Yid
dish company that played at the Wind
sor theatre, New York. Miss Eliscu
before going on the Yiddish stage, had
achieved no little fame in the English
drama, having played Micah Dow with
Maude Adams in THE Little Minister,
and was featured by Harrison Grey
Fiske in Marta of the Lowlands.' -
Miss EIiscus views of and experiences
on the Yiddish stage are worth re-
cording.
The methods employed by actors on
the English speaking stage and those
on the Yiddish are entirely different.
Everything they do is spontaneous.
There is no art; they merely possess
natural ability. Even their leading &C
tors sometimes go on and do not know
what they are going to do. Such a
thing as business" is foreign to them.
They are guided entirely by The
prompter, who is also supposed to be
the stage manager. He sits in his
little box, and prompts them with their
lines, at the same time motioning to
them which way they must move and
where they must take their stand in
speaking the lines. The difference in
the methods between the two dramas
is also marked in the matter Of re-
hearsals. A play in Yiddish is produc-
ed with only two rehearsals. AS a re-
suit the actors are never letter-perfect
Another peculiar thing about the ac-
tors on the Yiddish stage is that they
are engaged by the union, and this
same union designates what sort of
parts they must play. AS result of
this condition they play the same line
Of parts all the time. Stars are the
only actors who do not belong to the
union, though in order to be exempt
from the exactions of the union, the
star must have an interest in either
the theatre or the production.
Another peculiar characteristic of the
Yiddish actors is that they are gifted
with wonderful voices, every one of
them possessing a singing voice.
In the Yiddish theatre in New York,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday are given over to historical
operettas, for which a special prima
donna is engaged, and who plays moth

for several years before he took the
actress for his bride. Mr.. Frohman
approved his wife's choice and said
she could not have picked out a bet
ter man. But Daniel Frohman was
a bit skeptical about the strength of
the chains that would bind Miss IL
lington to the sock darner and the
hearth bench of her own fireside. 1t
would seem that Mr.. Frohman knew
Miss Ellington much better than she
knew herself.
