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. The married life is the

only life for woman."
The married woman speaks:
"1 wonder what makes any woman
fool enough to (jet married!
"It's slavery. That's what it is.
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."

"When Dreams Come True" is describ

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.

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

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.
