NAVAL OFFICERS WIFE

ON BROADWAY STAGE.
Daughter Of Naval Officer Now a Real
Actress in New York.

When the navy goes on the stage

thinking mot to say tslking) and so
ciety is a-gog. There are numerous
naval officers who marry actresses and
many in the social set here and in
other cities, have formerly been ia
Gus (more or less) before the foot
lights, and in the spotlight.
The latest stage acquisition is
the former Miss Flossie Brown, daugh-
ter Of Prof. s. j. Brown, U. S. NJ,
for many years attached to duty at
the Naval Academy here. The Wash
ington Herald this morning has the
following story:
Seated in the office of some New
York theatrical rajah, or perhaps al
ready in a musical comedy or rehears-
ing a drama at Broadway Theatre
today, is a Washington society ma
iron, under the nom de plume Of Miss
Syria Florence, while her husband,
one of the navy's popular lieutenant
commanders pace the deck of hiJ
ship miles out on the briny.
'In real life Miss Syria is Mrs.
Kalbfus, wife of Lieut.. Commander
Kalbfus, u 9. NJ, who has been re-
Gently or Tered to sea. Syria's ven-
ture on whitley lighted Broadway be-
came known through scoop put
over by Washington society's latest
news chronicle, known as the Tete-a-
Tete, publication of eight pages,
which processes u tell all the social
gossip with every issue. BY the
scoop its reporters have already
gained the reputation Of being 'onIthe
job'-the latter being the jargon of
the street, if you please.
"For weeks, so Tete-a-Tete tells us,
Mrs. Kalbfus has been playing at the
local theatres. She has appeared in
the companies at the Columbia and
also at Polls. Local society imme-
diately was a-hutter on hearing of
the aspirations of the naval officers
wife. Straightway tc the managers
of the new theater went several dow
ayers to corrohorate the published
statement concerning Mrs. Kalbfus.
Yes, she played Dora Burleigh
and Sc veral other minor roles, they
were told at Polls, and she seemed
to like it. She is a charming woman
and will evidently make good.
oh, yes, she is a real actress.
said another manager Really inter-
ested in the work for arts sake, she
says, and intends following it as a
profession.
"And then the dowagers who look
ed at the tall Ethel BarYureish that
played at the tbeaters several weeks
ago through gold-bounded lorgnettes
recalled the resemblance to the same
woman who had eute rtained with
charm and grace at so many drawing
rooms last winter. Yes, it was Mrs.
Kalbfus. They were satisfied.

the naval officers wife had been
taken into the secret by her.

1.-TWO OLD CONFEDERATES. 4"
To Give Concert at St. Mary's Hall
Tomorrow Night.

When those "cwo Old Coufeder-
ates," Col Tom Booker and Capt.
Tony Miller, assisted by the old South
Quartette of genuine Virginia ne
groes, come to st. Mary's Hall to-
morrow night, October 2,the people
of this town will have an opportunity
to hear one of the most delightful
and unique ente rtainments ever pre-
scented on any stage.
There is no other combination of
entertainers in the world liks this.
Col. Booker and Capt. Miller are both
oId-time Virginia gentlemen who serv-
ed under Gen. Robert E. Lee. When
they surrendered with him at Apo
mattox Court House, they laid down
heir muskets and went back home to
find their old plantations stripped of
everything in the way of worldly pcs
sessions, but they went to work like
real men to make the best possible
use of the limited opportunities be-
fore them, and they have succeeded.
These two old heroes have started
out on their present campaign with
banjos under their arms instead of
muskets on their shoulders, and they
are capturing everybody they meet.
They tell some very humorous stories
of the old time in the South, play the
"Old Virginia Reel" and the car
kansas Traveler''in way that makes
it hard for those in the audience to
keep their feet still.
And when they turn loose that
quartette of earthquakes, those four
Virginia negroes, who. as one critic
has said, "look like farm hands and
sing like Caruso' in such songs as
"Old Dan Tucker. F." Shouting Moan
ere" the "Huckleberry Picnic" to
say nothing of Dear Old Dixie" it
fairly thrills the blood.
Every I'D Confederate or Union SOL
der within miles of this town will be
on hand for this entertainment. You
could not keep them away. School
children will be on hsid in abund-
ance, for this entertainment appeals
to both Young and old. Those who
fail to attend will miss a never-to-be-
gotten treat.
