E L R since Ruth St. Denis won a: place for herself as one of the1 J great artists of the American stage i rumor has married her to first one and (then another wealthy citizen. She was j one of the most popular women who ha'd ever won favor with the great republic. Those who knew her well realized how baseless the rumors were, for Ruth St. Denis cared for no one man enough to marry him. Imagine (he thrills of surprise which were evoked when it j was learned two years ago that she had married Ted Shawn, the dancer, who I for three months hail appeared as the i leading male dancer with her company. The Sha wn-St. Deuis wedding was 'the culmination of a most romantic courtship. They literally danced their way into each other 's hearts. At the time the wedding took place this couple had known each other only about three mouths. No one suspected the truth, even among the most intimate friends. , Ruth St. Denis was just 'as surprised as! her friends, for, like many women of , tremendous mentality, .she believed that her life would be lived in the state of single blessedness, as the type of man she could care for wouldn't care for so mental a woman and the tvpo of man who cared for her she was Incapable of loving. Ted Shawn came right out of the west to love and win the dancer whom he so admired as an artist. He was a stenographer in Los Angeles, but loved the stage and spent his spare time learning learn-ing the classical dances. He had also made a tear in vaudeville with a well-known well-known dancer, but had returned to California Cal-ifornia and had been forced to return to his stenographic work. At the time j the dance craze swept over America ; like a tidal wave Ted Shawn and Miss1 Gould, his dancing partner, formed a , small company and made arrangements1 with one of the railroad companies to' get transportation and meals from the coast to New York for the entertainments entertain-ments they gave along the line. Arrived Ar-rived in New York they had to seek work. About tlii time an ambitious young American dancer gave a recital at the Long Acre theater. Mr. Shawn went. There he met a friend of Miss St. Denis who said that the greatest, of all American dancers was looking for a leading man. Mr. Shawn called upon her. hoping against everything that he might be fortunate enough to secure the engagement, yet fearing that he had not had experience enough. Miss St. Deuis engaged him after one rehearsal, re-hearsal, sealing his fate at the same time. They are considered one of the hap-I hap-I piest couples in professional life. When not en tour they have a school of dancing danc-ing in Los Angeles, the Denishawn, which they hope one day to be to America what the. Imperial school in Petrograd is to Russia. Miss St. Denis, assisted bv Mr. Shawn and a corps of dainty dancing girls, will head tlie (sjrpheum theater vaudeville bill opening next Wednesday- evening in a series of dances of Egypt, Greece and India.

Wlrat will the socially restricted debutante do when she finds ii is to the handsome voting dramatist that she is to be displayed'? To the one she prefers to meet above all others. What will his oninion be of her whom he meets in this manner ? But there is a way that sets all the tangle right and Edna Goodrich, playing play-ing the starring role, finds that only in a great sacrifice is the clear path that leads to happiness. mHE THOROUGHBRED" is the X name of the Triangle offering at the American today and tomorrow.

The very pretty and famous Billie Burke has been a sort of magnet at this large and commodious com-modious house for nineteen weeks paBt I and the showing of the final chapter of the serial will no doubt attract a large attendance.

If you can imagine the essence of a great circus indoors, only much finer and more artiBtic than any tented exhibition you have ever seen, you will set some Idea of "The Big Show," as Charles Dillingham chooses to call his latest wonder at the Hippodrome. Sensation follows sensation in bewildering bewilder-ing manner, tile possibilities of the great playhouse are realized magnificently, riots of color and gorgeous revelries of sound unite to produce a spectacle which has perhaps never been equaled. The three major episodes are a monster minstrel show, a pageant on the ice and the Anna Pavlowa ballet. The minstrel show comprises 400 white and black singers, which certainly has never been touched in tlie history of minstrelsy. min-strelsy. Old and new songs are intermingled. inter-mingled. Good quartettes and double quartettes warble and strike those barbershop barber-shop chords which find their way to the heart. v The ice ballet is smarter and more brilliant bril-liant than anything seen this season, with Charlotte and the other old favorites present. pres-ent. Hilda Ruckerts wins applause with her impersonation of a doll on skates. Miss Pope and her partner, Mr. Korner, an American team, seemed to many even superior to the foreign skaters. The Pavlowa ballet Is in four scenes and is entitled "The Sleeping Beauty." The theme is taken from a fairv tale by Charles Perrault. The lithe and nimble Anna has lost none of her ancient charms, and she has many clever, though less known, male and female toe artists to second her. Tlie costuming and scenic effects are delightful. .
