In "Nearly Married" Garrick
leis an authority than that of the Austrian
Ambassador, while his managers have received
word that he will be able to sail for this
country during the 1lrst week In January. Mr.
Thlbaud, despite the fact that he Is exempt
from military duty, has been doln some work
on the Paris fortifications. Ho writes that he
will arrive In December and that he will fulfill
FLASHES FROM "STARS"
"It Is an open question," says William Collier,
"whether the married man hnd best take tho
blame upon himself after a quarre' with his
wife and endeavor to smooth matters over
peaceably or not. Sometimes the wife is so
snippy and Indifferent after tho poor man's
efforts that he regrets having taken this course.
I know a young couple of the stage to whom
Just this sort of thing happened.
"They had been qunrrellng, and the young
husband, regretting It and being anxious to
'mako up,' brought a little gift for tho wife.
" 'Edna,' he said, 'come here. Aren't yod
curious to know what is In this packago?'
" "Oh, not very,' replied Edna, belligerently,
as she glanced at the package In question. 'I
rather think I can endure the strain."
" 'Well, he said, coaxlngly, trying to win her
to good humor, 'it's something for the one I love
best In all the world. Now, guess r
" 'Indeed:' sniffed Edna, as she started to
leave the room. 'I suppose, then. It's that pair
of new trousers you said you needed.'
Llane Carrera, Anna Held's daughter, advises
parental disobedience Bometlmes. "My mother
Insisted last spring I go with her to Paris. I
refused," said Miss Carrera, "and mother didn't
like It a bit. Well, tho last I hcrd from her
was a letter dated August 12. She wrote It was
terrible ovr there. They have taken her au
tomobile. All the hotels and shops are closed,
tho schools are made Into hospitals and ther
i no money In the banks. Sh herself cannot
caBh a check, and they only allow 5 per cent,
of deposits. She also says there Is no way of
getting out of Paris, all the trains being used
by the Government So I suppose that as soon
as she can get away she will come over here.
For my own sake. If I were not so worried for
my mother, and If I were sure she was safe. I
would sacrifice five lambs to the gods, because
they gavo mo the wonderful Inspiration of be
ing my mother's disobedient daughter. If I
had been a nice little girl I would be In Paris
now, and perhaps may have starved to death."
Johnny Dove, who deserted vaudeville to play
here In the "Zlegfeld Follies" as Honest Bill,
has gained at least half his reputation on the
manner In whloh he shakei hla feet. Last sea
son at the time of the Ohio flood, when starring
with the AI O. Field Minstrels, he was called
upon to do a turn at a benefit for the flood
sufferers.
"My llttl" act," modestly relates Mr. Dove,
"followed tho Divine Sarah Rernhardt and pre.

my music Mr. Drew came on the staee with r'
people to rehearse his act. I had never mot him

Eleanor Duse is to retire permanonity from

her age has also been a factor In hurrying her
retirement. She Is now 55. She has boen on

sho dedicated a home for actresses In a cypres
grove near Homo as her gift to the profession.
"To save the theatre the theatre must be de

tressew must all dl" of the plague. They poison
tho air; they make art Impossible. It is not

Wo should return to tho Greeks, and play In
