New-York tribune., 1918-12-01
By Harriette Underhill

More than three weeks ago we were
scheduled to interview marguerite
Marsh. and we We're quite anxious to
do so beause we had just seen her in
serial with Houdini in which a
great iron man chased her all over
the place and she looked extremely
interesting Also we wished to ask
her if She wasn't really frightened to
death when that huge monster bore
down upon her.
And then it happened that we
caught incipient or infantile influenza,
which sends your temperature up to
212 every day at tea time. and we
we're terribly afraid we weren't going
to die and our fears were realizedl
We didn't; for we lived to keep our
appointment with Miss Marsh just last
night
Some one told US at luncheon that
they envied us because Miss Marsh
was a regular person." and from this
particular person that is the highest
form of praise.
We'll she turned out to be a regu-
lar person. and it is lucky thing for
both of us that she was, for these
reasons: Miss Marsh lives away up
town, Broadway and 95th Street, and
our appointment was at her hotel at
: o'clock. We went on the subway,
same subway which lets you on in
front of the Greenwich Village Thea
tre and let's you off in front of the
New Symphony Theatre which is all
right if every one isn't going to the
same place at the same time.
Without offering any inducements in
the form of cabarets or anything Mr..
Shonts can draw a crowd which never
is equalled elsewhere save on election
nights or on peace nights. And all the
while we were flying through space on
the front platform of a Broadway ex-
press we wondered why they didn't
keen on building subways until they
nad enough But there are compensa-
tons for when we alighted at Ninety
sixth Street we found ourselves pos
sessed of the red and green necktie
worn by the gentleman who swayed
just to the port and the veil of the
starboard lady who had jabed us with
her hat pin
This VIII explain why Miss Marsh
had to be pretty nice to impress US,
and she proved to be both. If you don't
think she is pretty Just look at the
picture TO the west Of thisl
It's funny. but she looks almost ex-
actly like Billie Burke, red hair and !
all, and we contend that. Billie Burke
is-but why say it again.
Miss Marsh came downstairs as soon
as we were announced. She wore a lit
tie brown velvet suit, the color of her
hair, trimmed with sable, and a tiny
black velvet hat. When she saw us
she breathed a deep sigh Of relief.
"0h, thank goodness you're young.
| was afraid you'd be old, and
feel like having a good time DO you
feel like having a good time ?" And
then we proceeded to have a good time
according to Miss Marsh's ideas, which
conceded perfectly with ours.
And at 10 o'clock, when we both
stopped for breath, Miss Marsh said:
"0h have you seen Charlie Chaplins
BRIDE Let's go down to the Broad
way Theatre and see herl 1 used to
play parchesi with her and she would
take half hour to decide each move.
Let me see she would say, debier-
ately no. don't think I'll do that
hope she didn't act like that when
Charlie proposed No, of course sne
didn't No girl would. He is fasci- (
mating person, isn't he?"
And after we saw the bride in "Bor-
rowed Clothes it was time to eat
again, and we determined that now,
