sudden separation in the Barrie fam
lily, followed by divorce. The re-
port got around that Polly was tc
marry Barrie, but this was due to
an odd circumstance In the court
ship of Nicholas Wood. millionaire
and a famous English patron of
sports. One day he said to Polly
in mock seriousness:
''Im sorry. Pauline. but can't
marry you. You've never been bap-
tised."
Realizing the fact, Polly couldn't
see the joke, Tearfully she went to
Mr.. Barrie about 1t. He promptly
volunteered to remedy that defect.
1t was a great occasion when, Bar
rie acting as godfather and Ellen
Terry as godmother, Polly was reg
ularly christened. The Joke was on
Milky" Wood, after all, for Polly
seemed to lose all interest in him
with Barrie as really foster father
to her.
Along in 1910, when the exploits
Of ayiators had become the chief So
ciety fad, Pauline Chase became
more and more often pictured in the
London illustrated papers with
Claude Graham-White, one Of the
handsomest and richest as we'll as
most expert of the British airlnen.
Their engagement was frequently
rumored, but 1t was not actually an
nounced until Polly arrived in this
country as the star in "Our Miss
Gibbs" White was over here, too,
competing with other fiiers at the
aviation grounds on Long Island.
Polly made several flights with him.
Their engagement was announced at
the Knickerboeker Theatre after a
performance OF "Our Miss Gibbs"
Both however laughingly refused to
say when the marriage would be.
Both went back to England within
the year. Gradually, as the mar
riage failed TO occur, the engage
ment was assumed TO be cancelled.
Since that time, four years ago.
Polly's enthusiasm for engage
ments seemed 70 subside as her
stage position became more and
more assured. The announcement OF
her marriage to Alexander Drum
mond was a complete surprise In

still best known, and probably will
continue to be, as the "Pink Pajama
Girl" This was an inspiration of
the stage manager Of musical
comedy called Liberty Bellies"
Very young, very dainty and smil-
ing, and very blonde, those pink
pajamas lifted "Polly" right into the
lime light and kept her there.
She was born in Washington, d.
c.. in 1885, the daughter OF DR.. and
Mrs. e. B. Bliss. At sixteen,
straight from a convent in New
York, she fitted into her first musi.
cal comedy chorus. Cupid lost no
time in making a storm centre of
her blonde and sprightly charms.
Her first appearance in Boston,
though she was half buried in the
chorus, singled her out for the en-
thusiastic attentions of Harvard
, students.
These smitten youths in bunchss
bought railway tickets and Elued
themselves to the show that con-
tanned "Polly" Chase while it toured
New England towns. 1t was about
this time that Polly" collected the
the first of her respectable list of
fiancees. This was a Harvard boy
named William Kibbey. Having
plenty of money and no troublesome
yearning for learning, this youth
stuck to the show until it reached
New York. Here Polly" decided
that the engagement was off. Young
Kibbey took 1t rather hard After a
night of strenuous efforts to drown
his sorrow, he appeared next morn
ing before magistrate in a set Of
bright red whiskers-and was rus
tied back to Harvard
Her "Pink PaJama" vogGs, a. its
very start, brought her a marriage
opportunity that hardly any young
stage favorite would think of re-
fusing. Alexander Dow, the rich
manufacturer of printing machinery,
saw her and found her irresistible.
He hardly missed a performance
after that. Soon he obtained an in
PRODUCTION, and thereafter regularly
haunted the stage door. He was a
handsome, dignified man of thirty
two, his dark hair slightly streaked
with premature white. "Polly" ac-
cepted him. and their engagement
was formally announced
A few months later both of them
signed the following public an
nouncement:
"Mr. Alexander Dow and Miss
Pauline Chase announce that their
engagement to marry is dissolved
by mutual consent"
Mr.. Dow said: miss Chase pre-
fers to continue her life behind the
footlights for a few years longer,
and / do not propose to stand in
the way of her artistic develop
ment"
"Oh. dear" sighed "Polly"-for

kfCIGNED Polly"

<<CIGNED Polly"
~ Meaning Pauline Chase.
~ 1t was a London cable to
Charles Frohman announcing the
romantic apotheosis of the "Pink
Pajama Girl" The cable said, in
effect:
Marrying this coming Saturday
October 24y. He is Alexander
Drummond, London"
The glad news proved authentic.
The Sunday morning cables to the
New York newspapers contained the
bare fact that "Polly" was married
the day before to Alexander Drum
mond at st. Martins, London, in the
presence of many stage notables,
while "large crowds assembled in
the church and outside"
Nine times and out! Eight times
previously the engagement Of Paul
ine Chase had been announced.
Eight young men, all of them rich
and most of them distinguished, had
entered for the pink Pajama"
stakes. All Of the octette had run
strong, but each of them had failed
to come under the wire.
Now there seems no room for
doubt that "Polly's'' voluminous and
iridescent romance has reached its
climax. Alexander v. Drummond,
also rich and a distinguished mem
ber of the British YeomanTy, be-
comes doubly distinguished. For of
all American fair stage favorites,
Pauline Chase's romance, both of
love and of the stage, quite tops
that of any Of. her stage sisters.
Even Edna May, the Salvation Las
sic" so long idolized by New York
and London, takes second place.
Alexander v. Drummond is son
of George Drummond, head of the
solid, long-establisned Drummond's
Bank, of London. "Polly's" cabled
announcement Of the imminence OF
her marriage to him brought his
name to the attention of her stage
associates in New York for the first
time. Naturally, they are eagerly
awaiting details of the courtship.
In a little less than eight years,
from a member of the chorus Of
travelling musical show in this
country, Pauline Chase's stage ro-
nance carried her to the Summit OF
London footlight popularity. Hers
was acclaimed the best OF all inter-
prettions of the boy hero who
wouldn't grow up" in James Bar.
rie's fairy comedy, "Peter Pan"
She played the part almost continu-
ously In London and other import
ant English cities for six years.
Polly" Chase's last appearance
in this country was when she came
over in 1910 as the star OF "Our
Miss Gibbs" Since then she has
remained in London, save for an
engagement or two in Paris. Her
portrait, in different characters and
costumes, has appeared oftener in
the London illustrated magazines
and newspapers than that of any
other actress, English or American.
