Dale Winter, who coast dis
patches say has just married
Impressario Henry Duffy, had
more than an average share
of life's vicissitudes before
she established herself as
stage favorite through her APP
pearance in Irene" Miss
Winter was a graduate of a
church choir when she started
singing in Colosimo's big
cabaret in Chicago. Jim Colo
simo, the proprietor of the cafe,
fell violently in love with her
and they were married after a
short courtship. Three months
after the wedding bells Colo
sino was slain. mysteriously, a
victim of Chicago gangsters, ac-
eording to the police. There
was much gossip and the new
Mrs. 'Colosimo, to show that her
marriage was for love and not
wealth, surprised everybody by
publicly renouncing all claims
to her dover rights in the Colo
simo fortune. She sought
livelihood on the stage and on
the quality Of her singing voice
was given the lead in a road
company Of Irene" A sensa-
tional success followed and she
has since been in demand by
producers Of musical comedy.
Miss Winter went to the coast
to head the Duffy Stock Com
pany, chiefly to gain experience
in the legitimate drama. The
Duffy company is quartered at
the Alcazar in San Francisco,
an out-of-the-way house, much
like the old Shubert- Garrick in
Washington. Despite it's loca-
ton, the Alcazar is said to
have been given a new lease of
life by the success of the Duffy
company. ''The Cat and the
Canary" was the opening bill.
Duffy, as almost everybody
