eSted III n cable quite recently in which
Sir Charles spoke of his regard for
America and criticised us, too, in his
kindly fashion. Said he: "The public

An Important Question.
The important question now is: Is
! Nat Goodwin separated from his wife
| Mrs. Goodwin was formerly Edna Good
rich Her mother in Boston said that
Nat and Edna had separated although
there had been no divorce proceedings
instituted. On the other hand, Mr.
! Goodwin says it is a base lie and wishes
he had the fellow who started it so
he could spit him upon his cane, Mrs.
Goodwin is Nathaniel's fourth wife
| When he came to New York shortly
after the report of the separation had
got abroad, change was made in an
electric light sign over tine theater in
Broadway where summer show, called
GirIies, - is running. The sign used
to read "Girlies! None over twenty
and none married." Upon word Of
Nat IS approach, the sign was changed
to read: ''Girlics! All over twenty and
all married. -
A small thing like marriage and di-
vorce does not hinder Mr. Goodwin s
art. He will return 10 musical comedy
next fall. Maybe he will be married,
maybe not.

was abnormal, unhealthy, and some
other things. Her plea for divorce from
/ Mr.. Frohnan was based upon the ground
/ that he wanted her to return TO the
! footligbts. Now that Mrs. Bowles is
going back to the boards she is going
right. for she has signed TO star in one
Of those adapted French things
