JUDGE The Matinee Girl as Marie Cahill Sees Her in “Judy Forgot.” A Little Misinformation about Stage Folk. HHE—"'Oh, yes, I like John Drew! Don't you, ordo you? He is always the same. Now, with Sothern it’s much different. I saw him in ‘Hamlet,’ and he was per- fectly lovely. Then I went to see him in ‘The Merchant of Venice,’ and what do you think? He had on a beard—a great, long beard like a farmer. Of course Shylock’s a different part, but I know lots of Jewish gentlemen who don’t wear beards.”” He—Do you like Faversham?” She—‘Oh, yes, I love Faversham! Somehow, he isn’t a bit like an actor—he’s such a gentleman! You know, he is mar- ried to Mary Mannering. Don't you re- member they starred in a piece called ‘Humpty-Dumpty’? That wasn’t its name —wasn't it, or was it? Anyway, it was something about a wall." He—‘‘ Was it not ‘The Walls of Jericho’?”’ She—‘‘Oh, yes! You can’t tell a thing about a play any more from the name, can you? You know, I took the children toa show that was called ‘The Doll's House,’ and it was all about a woman who left her husband. Not that I blame her. Nowa- days it’s a case of leave or being left. Don’t you think so, or do you?”’ He—‘‘ Who's that fat man? She—'‘Oh, that's Jack Barrymore. You know, he’s Ethel Barrymore's divorced hus- I don’t know why they are separated, I suppose it was because they were married. I just love Ethel Barry- more, don’t you, or do you? I didn’t see her last year. She was in that play called ‘Mid-Ocean,’ and I heard she had a scene where she had to be seasick, and I didn’t feel like going. When you have been at it ‘as many times as I have, you don’t feel like seeing it. Idon't think-they ought to ask a woman to play parts like that, do you, or don’t you? Of course they get paid for it; but even an actress has feelings."’ band. do you? Courtesy of Danten V. ARTHUR. All rights reserved, He—‘‘Isn't that Margaret Anglin?”’ She—'‘Yes; and do you know that Mar- garet Anglin is so emotional that when she sits down to eat a lamb chop she just has to have a good ery over it first?” He—‘‘Who's that right across the aisle, Mrs. Fiske or Madam Nazimova?”’ She—'Listen a minute. If you can’t understand what she says, it’s Mrs. Fiske; and if she doesn’t understand what she says, it’s Nazimova. Did you see Mrs. Fiske in ‘The Sins of Society’? I should think they MARIE CAHILL AND ARTHUR STANFORD IN THAT CLEVER BURLESQUE OF THE MATINEE GIRL, “JUDY FORGOT.” would get tired of these problem plays, wouldn’t you, or would you? I think it’s problem enough to know how you are going to get the money to pay for your seats without having any more problems dished up to you after you get them.”” He—‘‘Oh, look! There's Lillian Russell! Is she any relation to Annie Russell?”’ She—'‘Just by marriage. Annie Rus- sell’s first husband was Lillian’s fifth hus- band, so of course they have the same name, marrying the same man, you know."* He—‘Do you know who that person is She—That’s Tully Marshall. He's a dope fiend. That's why he made such a hit in ‘The City.’ They say that the stage manager just fills him up with cocaine every night before he sends himon. I think that’s awful, don’t you, or do you? He might bite somebody. Oh, look! There’s Maxine Elli- ott! She used to be married to William Crane, but they got a divorce and he married Edna May.” He—“‘Is Maxine married again? She—''Not yet. She was engaged to Eddie Foy, but they broke it off because of professional jealousy. There's Anna Held!"’ He—‘‘Oh, I didn’t recognize her!" She—‘‘Well, you see, she has her clothes on, She is married to David Warfield. 1 wonder why they don’t star together? Still, I suppose they make more money sep- arately. Speaking of Anna Held reminds me of Bernhardt. Do you remember, when we saw Bernhardt in ‘Camille,’ how I cried?”” He—‘'Did you think that was ‘Camille’?”” She—‘* Wasn't it?” He—‘‘No; it was ‘Hamlet.’"’ She—‘‘Well, do you know, I thought it was kind of funny, playing ‘Camille’ in a man’s costume! Still, I didn’t want to say anything. You never can tell what those French actresses will do, and when they do it you don’t know what it is. Oh, there's Julia Marlowe! She's my favorite actress, next to Leslie Carter. I wish she wouldn't play Shakespeare so much; but, then, I suppose somebody has got to play it. I don’t think we go to theaters to improve our mind, do you, or don’t you? We can do that so much better in church. Speak- ing of churches, did you see ‘Ben-Hur’? That’s the kind of a religious play I like to see—with horse races and things.’’ He—‘‘Look! Isn’t that De Wolf Hop- per?” She—''Yes. He's married to George M. Cohan’s niece, and George M. Cohan is married to Marie Dressler; so that makes De Wolf Hopper Marie Dressler's uncle. And De Wolf Hopper is John Drew's nephew, so that makes John Drew Marie Dressler’s grandfather.”” Up-to-date Grafting. Knicker—‘‘ Burbank has surpassed himself.’"’ Bocker—* What’s he done now?""
