A Study in Cigarettes and Actresses

Irene Fenwick smoked and drank
when urged to do so in THE Song of
Songs" but she was forgiven in the
last act. Poor little thing, she had
started life as shopgirl in Atlantic
City, so was more to be pitied than
censured.
Margaret Anglin smoked cigarettes
when she appeared in Lady Winder-
mere's Fan" thus designating Mrs.
ErIyilne as an INSCRIPTIONS adven-
turess, according to the period of the
play, for Oscar Wide was only as up
to date as the '90s.
But that exquisite artist, Mrs. FislSe,
capped the climax when she appeared
as Madame Sand" for, bound to be
correct in every detail, Mrs. Fiske
wore trousers and smoked a cigar,
just as Madame Sand used to do.
When moving pictures are taken
small towns must be considered quite
as much as big cities, and provincial
pIejudices carry as much weight as
metropolitan tolerance. Therefore the
female who smokes n cigarette is
labelled vampire" Tobacco has aided
such stars as Theda Bara, Louise
Glaum, Pauline Frederick, Mary
Garden, Geraldine Farrar, Valeska
Suratt and Olga Petrova in creating
an illusion of wickedness.

cially so In this production, where, as
an actress who marries WELL she sang,
danced and smoked.
In musical comedies cigarettes have
also been employed to suggest naughti-
ness Virginia Earle had song in
"A Runaway Girl" in 1898, with a
chorus starting "Oh, sly cigarette!
Oh, fie, cigarette!"
Lillian Russell appeared as 1.-THE
Princess of Nicotine" in 1898, and
smoked so many cigarettes that un-
sophisticated audiences expressed So
licitude lest the famous beauty would
ruin her singing voice by such indul-
gence.
Edna Wallace Hopper appeared in
THE Silver Slipper" in 1903, and
smoked cigarettes. But she played the
part of Wrenne and was supposed to
be a boy, so there was some excuse
for the exhibition.
However, we have certainly learned
n lot since those days and now women
smoke on the stage Just as they do in
real life, and are not necessarily eyed
askance on that account, except per-
haps in Peoria. H., or Kokomo, Ind.
In "Our Betters," produced a few
wears ago, Rose Coghlan, Chrystal
Herne and Leonore Harris, as Ameri-
can heiresses who have married
European nobleman and got into Lon
don society, all smoke cigarettes.
In 1.-THE Hawk" Gabrielle Dorziat
made her American debut as leading
woman with William Faversham and
smoked. When Mr.. Faversham pro-
duced THE Faun" in 1911 his wife
Julie Opp, as an English society
woman also smoked.
When Elsie Ferguson appeared in
"Outcast" shortly before leaving the
stage for the studio she smoked. And
when Grace Ell'ston appeared in "The
Country Cousin" she did likewise. But
In these instances It was to prove that
Miss Ferguson was an outcast indeed
and that Miss Elllston was frivolous
creature.

ideal place for bathing and sea fishing.
This island has a history that dates
from the time of Edward the Comics

had a king" and small population.
The present king is the son of a
brewer who refused to continue in
that business. In doing this he sacri-

is said, and has converted the island
into a retreat for drunkards. His eff
forts have met with considerable sue

sea air have worked wonders.
There are a number Of these dlminu-
tive water surrounded monarchies off
the coast of Scotland. One of them
is the Isle Of Butte in the Firth OF
Clyde, which is owned by the Marquis
Of Butte. This kingdom contains al
most fifty square miles and has pop

many as six little lakes in that mon

Fad, is quarter of a mile wide and
about nine times that in length. The
famous old home of the Marquis
Rothesay Castle. dates from the year
1898. Arran is another of these sea
grit kingdoms in the same firth.
The ruler Of this little principalitv
is the Warehouses of Graham, and a

~ NE day recently, while having
afternoon tea at a hotel, it
seemed strange to recall, while
watching the fashionable maids and
matrons smoking their cigarettes, that
1t was at this very hosiery only a few
short years ago that Mrs. Patrick
Campbell created a sensation by saun-
tering through the foyer with a Gig
arctic in her mouth, the management
creating an additional sensation by
requesting the distinguished actress to
straightway desist. The incident was
described in the newspapers and con-
siderable discussion was aroused. 1t
was admitted that ladies' smoked in
public in London and in Paris, but it
was protested that they did not do so
i'll Now York. So Mrs. Patrick Camp
bell expressed her views on the sub
ject and gained valuable publicity.
At that period and for several years
efterward when an actress smoked a
cigarette on the stage this was in or
der to intimate that the character she
was impersonating was no better than
she should be; In fact, was IAN aban-
doned creature" and "wanton."
Mrs. Campbell created the title roles

helping to convince us Of the fact.

part she had created in England in

and also a present, and also Gig

Mrs. Langtry appeared in 1.-The De-
generates" in 1899, and offered ciga-
rette as one of the evidences of degen-
eracy. She appeared in THE Sins of
Society" in 1911, with n cigarette as
one of the sins.
Alice Fischer appeared in 1.-THE
Sporting Duchess" in 1896, and proved
that Viuienne DdrviIIe was a bold. bad
woman by smoking cigarettes now and
then. Perhaps this shameful exhibit

- GATHERED about the shores of

Some OF these islands are but few

The special privileges mentioned
have been granted in times past by

special privileges were made in per-
