12 OF INTEREST TO Dreams ThatDoNotCome True As It Seems to Be The old maid speaks: "Ah, how I envy married women. What a wonderful thing it must be to have the love and protection of a husband, to have some strong arm to stand between you and the world, some buffer between you and the hardships of existence. "How sweet it must be to have a husband to love and cherish you, to feel that you are the one woman in the world to him, and that as the years go by his affection grows tenderer and more chivalrous, and to know that in his eyes, at least, you will never grow old and homely, but al ways be the fair young bride he mar ried. "It must be 'wonderful to watch of an evening for the coming of the step of the master of the house, and to think of the long evenings of per fect companionship that you will spend with the man who is literally your other half, talking over together all the little happenings of the day, secure in a perfect companionship and understanding. "No wonder the organ peals out 'The Voice That Breathes O'er Eden' at weddings. Marriage is Paradise regained for a woman. "Of course, I'm not so badly off as things go for old maids. I have an ample income for all my needs, and plenty of interests to keep me alert and alive, and hosts of good friends, and affectionate relatives, but I am alone. I have no man to stand between me and the world. I must fend for myself and look out for my own interests. "I've got no husband to tell me I'm still young and beautiful when I'm fat and forty; no footsteps to listen for of an evening; no loving lips to praise all that 1 do or leave undone. "That's why I envy every married woman who breaks up a bridge game or rushes home from a tea or the matinee to see about dinner for her husband.

Nothing but slavery, that an idiot of a young girl gives herself into without knowing what she's doing. I'll wager that if marriage licenses had return coupons attached to them that there isn't one bride in a hundred that would not be back in her girlhood inside of three months. "They talk about a husband protect ing his wife. Huh! There's one per son he doesn't protect you from, and that's himself. So far as I can see, the chief thing a man gets married for is to get somebody that he can vent all of his ill temper and grouchiness on. "I know my husband talks to me in a way that he would never dream of speaking to any other human be ing on earth, and especially as he'd never speak to anything else that wore skirts. He's polite and affable and gracious to men he has to do business with and chivalrous to women in so ciety, but one of the unwritten laws of matrimony is that you don't have to show any good manners toward a mere wife. "Companionship—that's what every girl really marries for. Not one hus band in a hundred ever holds a real conversation with his wife. He goes to the club of an evening, or else drowses over the paper and grunts when he is spoken to. If you'd sub stitute a store dummy for the aver age husband his wife would never find out the difference. "Perhaps there are husbands that pay their wives compliments, and still take an interest in holding their hand after the first year of matrimony. "Marriage is no picnic for a woman. How I envy the old maids who have their own pocketbooks, and their own hitch keys, and nobody who has a le gal right to tell them of their faults and criticise their appearance." ters in the family.

"When Dreams Come True," the musi cal play by Philip Bartholomae, comes to the Orpheum, "When DrenniN Christmas, matinee Come True" and night, direct from long engagements in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. "When Dreams Come True" is describ ed as a "musical play of youth," and as the featured player Robert Adams is but now entering on his twenty-second year, it would appear that tlie man ager of the company is desirous of be ing consistent in all things. Several dancing numbers, most of them origi nated by Mr. Adams, are introduced during the action of the play, and a dozen or more tuneful songs from the pen of Silvio Hein. are sung by the principals and a large chorus. The scenic appointments are elaborate and in keeping with the story. The first represents a scene aboard ship—a mas sive picture populated with attractive immigrants. For the second there is a pier, photographic in its detail, even when so briefly inserted therein. "Broadway After Dark," a modern melodrama, full of thrills and laughs. which will come to the "Uroailwny Orpheum next Wednes- After IJark" day, matinee and night, is down to the very min ute in every particular. It is based on the new idea that a woman can "come back," and it abounds in vividly drawn character types of.the present day. The central figure is Violet LeClair, played by Virgiina Duncan. The scenes take place in the fashionable hotel in New York City, in a bungalow in the sub urbs, in a Fox Trot Club and in a fam ily 'hotel. The story is told in terse sentences, liberally sprinkled with humor, and there is a punch in every act. t Miss Florence Webber, who sings the title role in Aubrey Mittenthal's pro duction of this season's most •'Flora striking musical success, "Flora bclla" Bella," which will be the at traction at the Orpheum next Wednesday, matinee and night, has been heard in many delightful musical productions, but it is safe to say she never has had a role that fitted her more neatly than does that of the Rus sian "Princess Man.ia" in this charm ing play. In the story "Princess Manja" returns to her old stage life, for one night only, to win the love of her hus band. It is a unique idea, and Miss Grav's splendid portrayal of the char ter is the result of long and careful training. The authority of this artiste's rendition is the standard to which the other numbers of the excellent com pany conform.
