I i Tlie stalls were deserted and everyone down 1 in front for a good time. Its been so long since I the crowd turned out that ithe orchestra filled up 1 early and with the overture under way everybody If ' was talking shop, li j The Claude Froeds and Walkers wore down If ! stairs with half a dozen friends scattered along I I in tlie row behind them. Lieut. Waterman head- I ! od a merry panty from the post a few- rows f ur- ij I ther back, that included Capt. Conrad, Mr. and j B Mrs. Paul C. Potter and one or two others. Some I I strikingly handsome toilettes were in evidence. I I Two or tliree parties went down town for lunch i after tho play. Lieut. Waterman entertained tho I , people from the post with Miss Mannering and I Helen Macbeth, Miss Mannering's leading wo- i man, as guests of tho evening. It was a merry I I crowd and Miss Mannering looked her prettiest. I she is even a handsomer woman off tho stage j than on, and is lever enough to keep the I j fun going at a merry clip. Miss Macbeth proved mighty popular with the little party before it broke up in time for the last car to the post. Miss Mannering has a host of friends about I town. She holds her age bettor probably j than any woman on the stage and suceeding j years seem but to add another touch of fascination f 1 to the dark eyes and expressive face.

May 2nd. The boys have been busy for a week I or so figuring out the best time to throw the big ; rooms open for the summer, and this seems to be ! the most feasible date. It falls on Saturday when fj ' everybody can get away, and it suits the ladies ' best. A half dozen members have been down this I f week in spite of the mud. The opening will bo a 1 i rouser when it does como. Busy week for tho smelt. Entertained a few professional friends from New York, dontcher-know. dontcher-know. Yes, silk socks. & & Can you Imagine a woman refusing to love big, handsome, black haired, pink cheeked Dustin Farnum Far-num what No? Well that's exactly the trouble. trou-ble. Too many of them loved him, according to the complaint his wife, Katherine Clemmons, has filed in New York in a suit for absolute divorce that she has brought against Farnum. The suit follows on the heels of the Gould divorce suit, in which Harold Gould alleged that the relations between be-tween Farnum and Madame Gould had been all together too free and easy a la extended automobile automo-bile trips up and down Now England when Farnum Far-num was playing the cast in "The Virginian" a year or so ago. Mrs. Farnum fails to reveal in her complaint the names of tho co-respondents, but altogether there seems to be plenty of fun brewing when this and the Gould cases are heard. it & & I'll bet I know a lot of people who wished they had .taken stalls Thursday night, where they could get a nice, quiet look across the stage without the danger of having some friend a few rows back yell "Rubber" at them. Mary Mannering makes her entrance in "Glor-. ious Betsy" with her pedal extremities supposedly unclothed. A couple of nice looking young gentlemen gentle-men with histrionic ambitions took about five or six minutes of valuable time explaining to those out in front that Betsy and her chum are ap-proahing ap-proahing after a walk over the hills! barefooted, on a wager from half a dozen admirers. On trots Betsy with a laugh in her eyes and a smile on her face, and nobody knows what or whatnot on her feet. To make it good, one rustic is carrying her stockings and another her pumps. There wasn't a soul in the stalls Thursday nighjt and the Theater's The-ater's stage always was to high for people in front to see decently. It wasn't half bad, though but seeing is always believing. She put on the stockings stock-ings with her back to the audience, and that ought to prove something. Anent all this excitement Thursday night there comes to mind the fact that the Trilby craze seems on a fair way to revival back east after all. About two weeks ago one of Chicago's fair daughters descended like a thunderbolt at a re- ception of a popular Parisian hostess in gay Paree with her pink toes peeking out beneath, the hem of the robe of a Greek goddess. It has been years since Paris society has been treated to such an unconventional sight Astonishment, curiosity and excitement struck .the company. The Lakeside Lake-side girl proved though that well, never mind what she proved. The date for the Sadler-Gilmer nuptials is out. The wedding will take place at the Sadler homo Wednesday, June 3. The younger set have been waiting anxiously for the announcement. It was generally believed it would be a June wedding, wed-ding, for no other month seemed quite so suitable for the culmination of the protty romance that has enveloped the lives of Miss Sadler and Jack Gilmer since the two were children. ? j? Miss Lela Stingley and J. J. Campbell have announced the date for their wedding as Tuesday, June 2, the day before the Sadler-Gilmer ceremony. The Stingley-'Campbell wedding is to be a church affair St. Paul's.
