BERLIN, Dec. 28. Mrs. Jenny Wind,
wife of a prominent Leipsio actor, says
In an interview in Das Theater:
"If my husband kisses, on the stage,
strictly according to stage directions,
I dan't mind, but if his kissing should
get too . real I would scratch those
girls' eyes out.
The wife of Von Ledebur, of the
Royal Theater, asked by the same pa
per for her. opinion of her husband's
stage kisses, says:
"Personally, I would rather see my
husband kiss in public than to know
that he kissed another woman secretly,
behind my back."
Fran Lotte Bronsgeest, whose hus
band is in the Royal Opera Company,
tells the reporter:
"My Cornelius has kissed and cuddled
innumerable women, but he merely
makes me smile when 1 watch him from
the parquet, becauae in real life he
kisses and cuddles very differently."
Mrs. Tilly Boettcher, wife of a widely
known actor at the Kaiser Theater,
thus gives her view:
"At first I didn't like my man's kiss
ing on the stage, but afterward I die.

'caught compromlslngly' 8647 times,
and he has exclaimed 'Heavens! My
wife'.' 2895 times.
"But I have not been distressed by
his love affairs on the stage. I am
delighted when each time on return

ing me, 'Thank Heavens! Here is one
woman whose clothes go all around
her.' I do not mind his being a public
Don Juan, because at home he belongs

husband on the one hand and the
wronged wife on the other would not

was the fact that among the woman's
guests at the dinner was the man with
whom she had eloped.
