MISS Ia TOILETTE A BRIDE.
| Married to George Middleton. the Play.
wright, In Washington Yesterday.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 2e.-The marriage
of Miss Fola La Toilette. daughter of
Senator and Mrs. Robert NJ. La Toilette,
to George Middleton. the playwright.
took place at the Washington residence
OF Senator and Mrs. La Toilette at noon
TO day. The Rev. U. q. y. Pierce. chap
lain OF the Senate and pastor of All Souls
Church, performed the ceremony. No
cards had been issued and only the i'm
mediate relatives were present The
couple were attended by Paul Kester.
the dramatist. and Miss Mary La Fol.
lette. a younger daughter Of the senator.
Immediately after the wedding break
fast the bride and bride groom left for
their New York home.
The simplicity Of to-day's wedding was
characteristic. Miss La Toilette inherits
from her father and her gifted mother
strongly marked democratic convictions
and simple tastes. coupled with displeas-
ure at display and ostentatior Miss
La Follette's views in this way had def
mite illustration when she was an under
graduate at the University Of Wisconsin.
All the sorortics of that institution
| were eager 10 pledge" her fully as much
for herself as for the prestige which the
sorority would achieve il it could say that
the daughter of the then Governor cf the
State was member. But Miss La Fol-
ette would join none. She disapprov, of
| sororities on principle. Miss La Fohette
received her Il. A. in 1904. Her student
career was marked by distinction in
studies and activity in college dramatic
circles.
, In the fall of that year Miss La Toilette
became professional actress. securing a
| place in the company Of Ada Rehan, then
making her last tour as Katherine in THE
Tanning of the Shrew." After this Miss
La Toilette appeared in support of Alice
| Fisher, famous in Jack" The School for
Husbands. by Stanislaus Stange. being
Miss Fishers play at this time. Later
Miss La Toilette became leading woman
| for Leo Ditrichstein for two or three
seasons and last fall the leading feminine
! role in Percy Mackaye's II he Scarecrow"
| was given her.
Miss La Toilette does not intend to give
up the stage because she has married.
On the contrary she will resume playing
| in -'rhe Scarecrow" in the course Of four
or five weeks. Her love of playing may
/ also be said in part to be an inheritance.
for it is we'll known that Senator La Fol-
lette long hesitated between the stage
and the law and politics and only gave up
the stage because he was advised that his
stature was not great enough for heroic
roles.
Mr. Middleton also is interested in the
stage. is a dramatist himself in fact. He
wrote the play The House Of a Thousand
Candles" from the Meredith Nichols
novel. collaborated with Paul Kester in a
comedy which Margaret Anglin produced
and is the author Of several other ac-
cepted and successful dramas. A book of
his plays. with the title -Embers." is soon
to be published. Mr.. Middleton is a mem
ber OF the Players and other New York
clubs.
