That would have been all had not .
young man who had left the service at the
end Of the war stood long in front Of the
Manhattan Theatre. wondering whether he
might go back and renew acquaintance
with the star.
At last he mustered up courage and sent
in his card.
The star Of California looked up and
smiled bewilderingly at him from her
dressing table. Hugh Dillman," she said,
looking from his card to him. "This is

Such is the brief record Of the speedy
wooing of Marjorie Rambeau by the un-
known young actor. Certainly, the new
husband cannot complain that the actress
put any obstacles or embarrassments in
his path.
But will Marjorie Rambeau, guided by .
great love. raise her husband from the first
rung of the ladder as she was raised BY
the love and devotion OF Willard Mack.
Broadway debates the question.
Willard Mack provided the play and the
part. Miss Marjorie Rambeau realized
every possibility in both. Miss Rambeau
afforded an opportunity in a play and q
part for Hugh Dillman. "He introduced a
touch of pathOs as the son that was worth
while" said one Of the hardest to please
OF the critics. Others said similarly agree
able things of the young man, whom they
cid not remember, because the parts he
had played in New York had been slight.
Five years ago, when Miss Rambeau de-
lighted the public and the critics in the
brief play Of her brief life, $50 Much for
So Much she was twenty-three Oppor-
tunity came earlier to her than to Hugh :
Dillman. who is thirty-two. - &9-s
Miss Rambeau had attractiVeness and
talent. Mr.. Dillman is a personable young
man OF bOyish manner and with that quail
ity which is unusual in males Of the hui
man species, the pathOs and wistfulness :
we associate with the personalities Of
Maude Adams and Mabel Taliaferro. Miss
Rambeau had the advantage of an introduc-
tiOn to playgoers as Mrs. Willard Mack.
But Hugh Dillman, on the other hand. has

Rambeau does succeed in making a popu-

The Washington times., 1919-04-06

"P PILLARD MACK, actor, manager,
W dramatist, married an unknown
girl with a small part in his COM
pany and lifted her up the ladder of fame
until she stood near the top rung-the
leading lady of a Broadway success. Then
this popular new star, Marjorie Rambeau,
divorced Mr.. Mack.
Marjorie Rambeau married again the
other day.
And again a very similar romantic
dramatic situation arises. But this time it
is Marjorie Rambeau who is the popular
star and the man she has just married is
an unknown actor.
Can Marjorie Rambeau lift Hugh Dill,
man, her new husband, up the ladder Of
dramatic success just as Miss Rambeau's
first husband, Willard Mack, lifted Mar
jorie from the unknown backwoods Of the
drama to the centre of the stage on Broad
way?
Marjorie Rambeau has determined to
try. She has already begun. And il she
succeeds in making her new husband a
star-well, does the history of the stage
indicate that two stars can very long sur
vive matrimonial bonds?
Five years ago Miss Rambeau was a
pretty young transformer on the Pacific
Coast. To-day she is one of the foremost
American stars and as such is to be pre-
sented to London theatregoers. 1t was
love that gave her the upward hand.
The story of Marjorie Rambeau's two
marriages and her stage career is one that
involves, as already stated, two famous
persons and one unknown to fame. VIII.
ard Mack is known wherever English
plays are produced. He is an author Of
virile American dramas, several of which
have made fortunes. He is an actor-play-
wright and was once a manager. He is
accounted one of the most forceful and
prolific minds engaged in American drama.
He fell in love with the brilIiant-eyed
young transformer from the West, while
be was the manager and star of a stock
company in Salt Lake City. Theirs was a
Cfance meeting while she and her mother
stopped in Salt Lake City on their way to
I'LL an engagement in Ohio.
Stay and be the leading woman Of my
company" urged the smit-
ten manager.
But her engagement in
Ohio" objected her

aCancel that" insisted the manager.

Cancel that" insisted the manager.
It was done Mr. Mack rehearsed the
new girl in the ingenue roles of the com
pany. "You have talent" he said. Il will
develop it"
In developing the talent he developed q
serious case of affection of the heart They
married He wrote play and took 1t to
New York. You may. have it" he said to
a manager who was interested. "But my
wife must play the leading role"
Though the manager grunbled about it
being risk to introduce a Jungle act
ress," and his being tired of the talk
about Pacific Coast defenders" the hus-
bands will prevailed. Critics cared little
for the play. but they cared great deal
for the leading woman it revealed to New
York They said she reminded them Of
Maude Adams and that she had decided
originality.
They predicted future" Their pre-
dictions were fulfilled in successive plays,
Yet though their advent into New York
was so auspicious their happiness in mar
riage lessened. At last there was a di-
vorce. Miss, Rambeau secured it. Mr..
Mack remarked. Miss Rambeau set her
face against matrimony.
AS suitors appeared she smiled friendlily
and sent them away. The suitors re-
turned and returned. One of them, a null
timillionaire, less easily discouraged than
the rest, announced his intention to play
waiting game. The would-be husbands
camped, it was said, at the doors Of Cove
House, Miss Rambeau's home at Pelham,
as suitors gathered at Penelope's home
when it was thought Ulysses was lost
Then came the surprise that nearly
stunned the street Of thousand surprises.
Miss Rambeau visited the City Hall in the
simplest fashion, as her own maid might
have done, and married.
Whom do you suppose? Not the waiting
multimillionaire. Not a theatrical mag
nate who had long been enamored of her.
Not one Of the large group of the faithful
that waited long for a smile Of encourage
ment. Simply, in the presence of two
friends Of the pair, she was welded to a
