are both married, if you please, and have nice thriving families" Miss Marble an- swered. "Florre Madison is also mar ried Suzanne Rocomora is in vaudeville and David Andrada Is with The Madcap Duchess this season. Of course Otis Harlan, who has gone to the very top, and Marie Fanchonetti, who married my brother. Dan Marble, has achieved great fame as a dancer. And my husband .Alr. Dunne-the very best of them all-stands pre-eminent on the list
 There's one person who used to be at the Bijou in those days Miss Marble reminisced who wasn't before the foot lights but who was the greatest charac- ter imaginable. It was the ianitor, Hum- phrey He was a real downright, old fashioned darkey-of the old school, and the most amusing thing l ever saw. He used to be great chums with me, be- cause l gave him nickels to buy gin You can imagine the kind he drank al that price) Once I asked him about himself and where he was born. He re- piled to me in that queer old darkcy fashion of his, saying:
 Miss Marble l war'nt nevah bawn; l jes woke up on mawnin an foun my self settin' at my mistus' fleets CT eatin' CT biscuit"
 Like Topsy," I suggested. "Jes' groWed."
 He was screamingly funny" Miss Marble went on to say and I recall once we followed Thurston and Magieia at the Bijou and he had a lion-a real rightly lion-not a Pyramus and Thisbe lion-in his show and Humphrey had to sleep in the theatre at night and so did the lion. At least that was what they wanted him to debut I don't think he ever accommodated them."
 Have you, since leaving the Biou company" I asked, been playing tuve- nile roles all the whie?'
 oh, yes,' said Miss Marble, with a de- licious little toss of her pretty head. T suppose I shall always play little fool ish silly girl, And it's dreadfully diffi- cult-do you know that? Imagine, if you
