Charlotte Walker's oldest daughter,
Earah Hadden of Texas, ran away one
day last week while visiting in New
York and married Richard Abbott.
Then she called her mother on the
telephone and broke the news. Char
lotte Walker is the wife of Eugene
Walter, the playwright, and her
daughter, Sarah Hadden. is the child
of an earlier marriage.
Titla Ruffo, the baritone, who has
been spending the summer resting at
tialsa Magglore, Italy, has returned to
New York to enter the Metropolitan
opera company.
Faffaelo Itonaanolli. an Italian
culptor, came over with Tltla Ruffo,
bringing with him a small bust of
Caruso which he made six months
ago and which will be put on exhibi
tion in New York along with other
specimens of the sculptor's art.
Still another famous Italian who
Came over on the same boat with
Tltla Ruffo and formed a part of the
party was Giuseppe Campanari. for
mer Metropolitan favorite, and his
wife. They told reporters at the dock
that they were particularly happy
because their daughter Marina, a
coloratura soprano, had been engaged
to sing at La Sfula. Milan.
The name Madame Helen Goetchel.
Announced as a new member of the
Chicago grand opera company, meant
nothing In the lives of any of us until
someone discovered that Mrs. CJoet-
chel is Mary Garden's sister.
Speaking of Mary Garden. Chlca
froans aie wondering if Mary has lost
out completely in her fight with Gatti
Gasazza of the Metropolitan over the
services of Amelita Galli-Curci, the
brilliant colorature soprano, and
Til to UUffo, the baritone.
Chicago opera patrons voiced this
theory when the Chicago Opera asso
ciation made public its programme
without the names of either of its
favorite stars in any cast.
Both Galli-Curci and Ruffo have
contracts with the Metropolitan com
pany of New York this year, but it
was understood they were also to
make a number of appearances with
the Chicago company. M iry Garden
said so. and so did her "dear friend."
Galli-Curci. who affirmed time and
again she would never leave Chicago.
Gatti-Casazza didn't pay anything
and now Chlcagoans believe that his
fine Italian hand has been on the
clotted line for exclusive contracts
With the great stars.
Mae Marsh, film star, wno has ap
peared In, most of the P. W. Griffith
productions, including "The Birth of a
Nation" and 'Intol'erance," has made
her debut as a star in the spoken
drama, "Brittle," a comedy by Hobut
lempster.
Rrittie Is tiie character enacted by
Miss Marsh. She is a maid of all
work who, like Bunty in a play of
that name, manages the entire house
hold and brings order out of chaos.
The character is said to be peculiarly
suited to the wistful personality of
the little actress.
Teggy O'Ncil has been visiting in
Kew York for a few months, but re
turned last week to London.
Miss O'Neil has achieved vast popu
larity with the Engltsh public during
her appearances abroad and has to
her credit a record run in "Paddy
the Next Best Thing," her engagement
having extended for a period of two
years and only closing up shop last
prlng.
Upon her arrival she will plav a
few weeks In "Paddy" in th prov
inces prior to appearing in a new
vehicle.
George M. Cohan is turning his eyes
toward the London stage and there is
considerable possibility of his becom
ing a producer in that city within the
liext few months.
Mr. Cohan has already booked pass
age for England and sailed on October
0 for an inspection of theatrical con
ditions abroad which will last for six
weeks or more and among his hopes
Is the acquisition of a theater in the
Jtrltlsh capital. In his manuscript
trunk are the copies of a half dozen
Jilays which he believes have all the
qualifications of potential popularity
vith theatergoers and if his plans
tan be carried out he will have at
least one of these productions repre
fenting him on the other side .before
the winter has waned.
While Cohan has visited London
Several times during his career as an
actor-author-producer. and so forth,
he has never played there nor has any
ff his pieces ever been staged in that
c-lty and his Impending invasion of
the British theatrical mail is. of
course, due to conditions on this side
which he feels have made it impossi
ble to continue in the business here
no long as they exist.
He wili be accompanied abroad by
Jiis wife and children and Edward W.
Drum, the latter his publicity agent.
Basil Sidney, the husband of Doris
Keane, will enter the production field
In conjunction with the Shuberts with
a college costume play entitled
"Lonely Heart." M!ss Keane married
Uasll Sidney. In Loudon a few years
ago during her long run there In "Ro
mance." He is an Englishman and an
actor.
Attorneys and the Keith booking
office In New York are all stirred up
over the case of Nicolacla Mouzakes,
a Greek prima donna, who Is detained
at Ellis island and threatened with
deportation because the Greek immi-.
gration quota has been exhausted.
She is 19 years old and has been
booked for a Keith vaudeville tour.
The young diva arrived on the Ma-
gallla Hellas October 6. She was No.
1 of the overflow. Attorneys came on
from Chicago to Washington, where
they laid the case before the immi
gration board, seeking to bring the
star in as an Italian because she has
played In Italy continuously for years,
thereby establishing a residence there.
The lawyers are now in New York
gathering evidence to substantiate
this claim. The Keith office posted
a bond, but the officials refused to
release Miss Mouzakes until the issua
is determined.
The Ralph Dunbar opera company
is returning to the Heilig for another
engagement, presenting again Regi
nald Pe Koven's comic opera, "Robin
Hood." The chorus is a good one vo
cally and the principals have good
singing voices; and many Portlanders
who did not have an opportunity to
attend the opera when It was here a
week ago will welcome this return
of "Robin Hood."
On November 10. 11 and 12 "Aphro
dite" is to be at the Heilig. This is a
gigantic musical comedy of oriental
beauty and so spectacular that it has
been a sensation wherever It has ap
peared. There are 200 persons in
"Aphrodite" and Comstock & Gest are
said to be sending them all on this
tour.
In the week ahead of "Aphrodite"
we are to see the "Marcus Show of
