THEATRICAL NOTES.

Maud Lambert Is again rejoicing In
having her husband, Ernest Ball, to
pianoize for her and to punctuate her
warblings with his own popular musi-
cal interjection. For q while they
were separated on the principle that
two such artists should receive d.
vided salaries Of individual dimen-
sions, and not be given a joint sti-
pend. They got what they wanted.
but they pined so much for the old
association that they are together
again and the salary Is no longer the
main theme Of their lives. Maude and
Ernest are a much-to-be-congratu-
lated and admired couple who upset
the universal tradition regarding stage
marriages.
