expense for his wife and her
theatrical company

so gracious in her own drawing-room on
Lake Shore Drive, with the bronze of

AS the play progressed and Marie's
gamln-likc ways were tanned by her love
for Jean, the society actress became
more real. She showed fire and aban-

acting Showed a real talent for the

COME twenty-five years ago, when
Samuel insult, Chicago public utili-
ties magnate, married pretty little
soubrette, named Gladys Wallis, a part
of the marital pact was that Gladys Wal
lis should not longer exist. And for a
quarter of century the name of Gladys
Wallis was unheard. Pretty. petite Mrs.
Samuel insult was busy looking after the
home of the man who had risen from
pot-hooks to power-lines, getting estab-
lshcd in Chicago society and rearing her
son, Samuel insult jr.
Chicago society, which now includes
Mrs. Samuel 1nsull in its little black, red
Iettered social register, was shocked last
fall by the announcement of the return
to the stage of the wife of its traction
and public utilities magnate, its opera
head. The preliminary shock was re-
peated when large, black -lettered pos
ters announcing Mrs. Insults Season"
blossomed all over the city.
Tongues clackcd. Mrs. insult was
tired of being only Mrs. insult. Her hus-
band had life of his own, and here the
name of an opera singer or two vas
mentioned. She was going to have lit
tie sef-expression Of her own.
As has been said, tongues clacked, but
on the opening night of Mrs. insults ap-
pearance at the head of her own roper
tore company, society was there,
gowned in its best and flashing with
Jewels, to welcome Mrs INSULT, to APP
plaud, and to watch with curious eyes
the expression of the white haired, rubi-
cund Sam insult, in the third row. with
his son.
Mr.. insult had beer dead set against
the project, gossip said. But he smiled
atfably, even when his wife made stage
love to another man. applauded gener-
ously, and made tactful replies to glow
ing comments after the performance.
The cackinr tongues stopped for a
time, but when, after two months and a
half of operation, announcement was
made that Mrs. Insults theater project
was to terminate on January Is, they
broke out again. Gossip in theatrical
circles was that Mrs. Insults repertoire
theater company had been operating un-
der thousand llar-a-day deficit,
Gossip in social circles was that the
wise and canny millionaire, who had
risen from stenographer to magnate, and
who also knew something about art and
temperament, knew the venture would
be "hop," bu. thought it cheap at
reputed 100000 loss, if his wife is
cured of her desire to be IN actress.
Whether she is or not only time will
tell, but it is believed that Mrs. insult will
give up her project to establish "a per-
manent dramatic organization for Chi
cago to offer worthwhile plays that will
enlist attention on its merits"
The Studebaker Theater was leased by
Mrs. Insults organization for five years
The sum of $4,000 was paid for the
lease, and the rent was $4,000 year
When the notice of termination of the
1867 season was made public, it was
announced that the company's season
will begin again next October.

When, a short time after the close of
the Broadway run, announcement was
made that Samuel Insult had leased the
Studebaker Theater for his wife, Mrs.
Insult herself issued a statement in which
she outlined what she was aiming to do.

of his thousands.
Many other wealthy husbands prob
ably would be glad to spend as much or
more in order to cure their wives of their
desire to express their artistic selves on
the stage or in grand opera or in 4
painters or sculptor's stuIio.
Those who thought that Mr.. insult was
setting bad example for other restless
women by encouraging his wifes theat-
rlcal ambitions have changed their
minds. They now realize that he was as
shrewd and far-sighted in handling this
domestic situation as he is in handling

she is given credit, among other things,
for producing the plays of two new

After the first night, the audiences
were fairly good, and Chicago society
became accustomed to having pretty
Mrs. insult dash away from teas or
luncheons for rehearsal, or refuse din
ner invitations because of an o'clock
curtain. It became accustomed, too, to
her empty box az the opera, particularly
conspicuous on the opening night, when
MIR. insult, as head Of the Chicago Civic
Opera Company, was an important
figure.
But when the second production APP

his bride, the former Adelaide Pierce,
and his father, unwittingly summed it up

commented, as he watched his mother 60
through her role of a Paris gamin.
He was right. Mrs. insult wasn't
tough enough. She wore her short,
perky checke skirt, her sleeveless satin
blouse, her gamin-like hat with the quilts
stuck through, as she might have worn
a masquerade costume. She wasn't
