Which. it itself, might be an idea
for q three-character play.
But you never can tell just what
tricks romance will play either on
stage, or at the box office.
For years, both films and theaters
have covered up, insofar as possible
the married states OF many Of the
players. The theory was that great
er romantic appeal attached 10 the
unmarried than to the married.
David BelaSco. for instance, was
reported 10 have urged some OF his
most charming stars not TO mix
wedlock with a stage career.
Very well-not SO many weeks
ago, Helen Gahagan, one OF Be
lasco's most charming leading La
dies, and his newest, married the
leading man in the production of
Tonight or Never. No one knows
for sure Just how the dean Of the
theater took this arrangement. but
outwardly ne made his best bless

Butt so happens that Tonight
or Never had been running along
to a very decent sort OF box office
business. And after the wedding an
nouncement was made and the
newspapers printed pieces about the
pretty romance-the lines began TO
gather at the box office. Business
soon reached capacity.
All the curious ones came out 10
get a personal view OF the romantic
newlywedS.
Persons who had seen the play
before particularly women re
turned 10 see If The love story would
make any difference in the acting

players. If and when unmarried.
