A bit of gossip that will be of In
terest generally to show choppers tell
of the wedding last Wednesday In
Peattle, of Margot Injffet and Dan
Uruce. the culmination of a romance
which had It beginning while both
were members .f the Sumner Stock
Company at the Maker. Mia Dnffet
was second woman and Mr. Bruce a
1'aht comedian. While the two are
not announcing their profesalonaJ
plans as yet. and are going to spend
several weeks honeymooning on the
l oot. It Is rumored that a vaudeville
booking In the East awaits them.
The champion -turkey-trotter" of
the Paclfle Coast Is being featured by
tew Field In hi newest musical
comrdv. "The Hen-pecks." A fowl ar
rangement all around. It aeems. Her
name la Itlosaom S-eley. and her bring
engaged at aie l another Illustration

In the apparently helter-skelter. dell-may-care
kind of stage atuntlng. One
dav. while the reht-araal of "The Hen-r-eika"
via in progre. the calling
card of Nlmnm Scelcy waa brought In
to Mr. Fl-lds.
"I've worked with Kolh and DIM In
their San Francisco dupllcatlona of
Weber A Field pieces." she said.
"Whai'i the best thing you doT" ha
akd- -
-Well, they tell me I'm the champion
turkey dancer of the pacific Coast."
"Show me. pleaae."
The lady's demonstration was an
Immediate and direct refutation of tha
bromide that actresses are tempera
mental, and that they have to bo In
aplred by momentary feeling to rut
over illusions or emotion. Without so
much as the Impulse of music or the
glamor of lights. Hloasom capered,
skipped and hopped about In the chilly
corridor. And the manager thought
well enough of It to put her song and
dance Into the play for Ita trial night
in Albany. New York. The perform
ance of The Henpecka" was liked
but moderately. Fields' own share of
It waa almost aa unready as waa that
of the turkey-trotting maid. As a re
sult the opening In New Tork waa
lelayed one week, at a rental cost of
one thousand dollar for a shut thea
ter so that Fields might elaborate his
role, and more especially to give J
Hl'wsnn time to burst Into full bloom.
The press repon say sne isn c me i

but that she Is the very newest and
the oddest tl Ing on Broadway, and

What did I tell you Madeline Sulli
van, the beautiful creature who pined
through the preas for publlrlty and her
Slouv. Indian brave. Charley Plenty
Feather, haa gone Into "vodavlll." At
the Wlllard Theater. In Chicago, last
Monday evening Madeline made her
d-bul in a monologue with Interrup

papers printed aerea of plcturea and
mllea of reading matter descriptive of
the mulden and her wild dah across
the country to Montana, where she
found Charlea Plenty Feathera in the
MikhiuMp mm m r-Bii 1 r of her parents'
appeal to the tkivernment. As a freak

bracing Jist such monstrosities. the

that she Intenda paying another

The plgmentloua Lillian ICussell
points with pride to the fact that she
waa oni-e In the ranks of the chorus.
On the other hand, there are a lot of
feminine star who have come up from
the ranks of spear-carrlers who have
since become sadly bothered with poor
memories or bad eyesight when their
first or early stage pasts are up for
dtacusslon. Rose Coghlan. who orig
