BY Arthur Hammerstein.
(in an interview

~ NCE in my folly said that might
keep on marrying until broke Nat
Goqdwin's record of FIVE wives
Somewhere in the back of my mind may
have been the idea OF breaking also that
of the famous Henry VIII of England
That ambition I now forego. I abandon 1t
as hopeless, preposterous. waste Of life
and emotion in chase of the unattainable.
man keeps on marrying for but one
reason. He wants to be permanently happy.
He might as well give up the will-o'-the-
wisp chase II he has an actress wife.
The average man has not two chances
in one hundred of finding permanent hap
piness with any woman Of the stage. The
manager to which class belong, has less
than one. know no pursuit so vain save
the proverbial one Of the camels attempt
to pass through needles eye.
have married three times. The first
two Mesdames Hammerstein returned TO
their first estates and names. The third is
now sequestered in Reno. counting the
days until the law will enable her to re-
turn to the metropolis shorn Of her matri-
monial title. again plain-no, I should say,
pretty-Claire Nagle.
Why was the last Mrs. Hammerstein
dissatisfied with her lot? ] maintain that
II was not my fault. Nor hers. II was
because each Of us refused to recognize
the basic truth that the actress is an i'm
possible wife.
The third and last Mrs. Hammerstein
entered the state OF wifehood without any
sense Of its responsibilities She did not
change her manner of living. She would

in the situation she countered with. "But

my life because | have married"
There's every reason ! would reply
you are now Mrs. Hammerstein."
But she could not understand II. No
actress can. Or II she does she won't alter
her method of living
One cause of this attitude of actresses
toward married life is a too well developed
ego. They have the idea that nothing
must hurt their individuality" oh, what
a precious thing is that individuality"
n II should be lessened at all, the actress
thinks, her career" would suffer. She
could not express" herself.
Therefore, the actress who Is obsessed
with this idea OF Individuality must sac
rifice everything to IT, And usually she
does. Her individuality" is hot house
PLANT upon which no chilling breezes may
blow. what does II bring her, you ask?
All. Il brings her the plaudits OF the
audiences, the applause for which her soul
thirsts. But this, you will say. is vanity.
The Washington times., 1921-10-23

A LMOST everybody has wondered
~ now and then why so many
actresses are unable to remain
married. Or, 10 put II another way. why
so many Actresses marry so often. The
late Nat GOODWIN used to say that any
marriage after the first one represented
the triumph of hope over experience. Mr..
Goodwin had boasted FIVE wives-sll
actresses. He ought to have been well in
structed not only on the general question.
but on the SPECIFIC one Of the durs bility Of
stage ladies' as wives.
Apparently this phase Of the matter
never struck him., however, for In his IA
nous essay upon why Beautiful Women
Marry Nat Goodwin" he discussed his Eve
wives as individuals and not as actresses.
When Mr. Arthur Hammerstein, son of
the late Oscar Hammerstein. fmpressario.
millionaire, theatre builder and populariysr
Of grand opera in this country. took his
third wife from among the ladies of the
stage, he said that he was convinced that
the only way to obtain happiness in mar
riage was to keep on trying. He was not
averse, he said, to assuming the laurels
of Mr.. Goodwin. Indeed, If necessary, he
would add more than Mr. Goodwin had to
his credit to prove his point
But now less than year since the third
peal of Hammerstein wedding bells rang
out the third Mrs. Hammerstein is in Reno
seeking a divorce.
And Mr.. Hammerstein svows that he
has entirely changed his mind He will
never. never marry again. Especially will
he never marry an actress again. And he
offers some new and interesting-and it
must be conceded expert-speculation
upon the failure of actresses and matri-
mony to remain mixed.
