CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 15. - There seems to be something to that old theory that there's romance in railroadin.
 At least in 1889 the Union Pa cifics stewardesses found it so. Sev- enteen of them, or about one out of each five stewardesses the road employs, were married during the year.
 The No. l romance of the year was that of Florette C. Welp of Omaha, Neb., who married John c Gale, the assistant to the president of ,the@foadae gssgs a4 .aase

left to subordinates. Propositions
and problems of every nature are
faced and decidedly the writer's
themselves.
There have been high minded and
aspiring groups before, as one the
ater authority recently pointed out,
who set out in all seriousness to
better the theater, but of them the
only survivor is the Theater Guild,
which is, of course, a producing and
not a writing combine. These four
men-Anderson, Behrman, Rice and
Sherwood-have successfully pooled
both writing and business abilities.
In this connection, and in con-
clusion, it is appropriate here, I
believe, to quote the recent remark
of Gilbert Miller, one of the the
ater's shreWdest and most expert
enced producers. He was talking
to Sam Behrman of the Playwrights
Co. and he reminded Behrman OF an
earlier conversation they had at the
time the union of the dramatists
came about two years ago.
