WHAT STARS THINK ABOUT IT , "The Proof of tlio Pudding Is In Ilio of H"-CiuitloiiH Ho- from Autot-M and Actresses. Owing to the Itlncrcnt life of tbo actor , it has often been nsUcd , Is It wlso for the nctor to marry I Can bo hnvo n , Imppy homo nml bo nwny from It continuously ! While the public 1ms thought much on the subject , the nctor has never been heard from , Ilccontly thcso two queries wcro caused to bo sub mitted to n number of the leading members of the dramatic profession , and their an swers , unliiuo and Interesting , are given below , TiiAonm's NOHI.K Moriinn SPEAKS. Should actors innrryl Why neil Actors are llko oilier people ; thny iwvo alTcctlon , desires , pleasure , passion ; hove noble senti ments , morali , companionship In fact nil the attributes of ruoplo In othdr walks of life , and to consign them to celibacy would bo unnatural and contrary to the command of thu Lord when ho took pnrt In the mar- rlnyo at Cana. It must bo admitted that nmiTli\KO Is hnnorublo among all men , niut the scripture especially cnjolus that the hus band shall bo the head of his wife , as Christ is the head of the church ; and I retard mar riage as one of the most sacred Institutions over ordained , yet n condition not to bo en tered upon without duo consideration , and then not unless the parties entertain the atrongest and most en dearing affection ono for the other ; and these considerations being observed , there Is no reason to think such a union will not bo n happy one , even among actors , and I say actors because the natuao of their ro- latlons to the mimic stage Is frequently of such n character as to cause ungenerous and unjust criticism from these who lese sight of thu artist , only seeing the man or woman bo for 13 them. And this being the case , it would probably bo bettor , as n rule , for actors to marry wlthlti the profession , as the outsldu partner , unless possessed of moro good sense and Judgment than wo usually llnd in humanity , will bo apt to develop to a largo dcgreo the green-eyed monster , and inuko homo a valley of unrest and misery , and In that case marriage , to that particular couple , \vould bo n failure , if not a crime. JANAUSCIIEK. OX MAItlllAflB. Mr. Richard Mansfield , when asked for an opinion on this subject , said : ' Why not actors as well as other men ? They nro able to sup | > ort their wives , why therefore , should they not have wives to sup port ? "I do not think , however , that they are apt to marry , for the reason that it is so diftlcult for them to secure wives I mean wives who would bo their equals , 1 am sneaking now of an actor in the best sense of the word that is , of a gentleman who has adopted the stugo as u mentis of livelihood , and who retains with his profession his breeding and gcntlo characteristics ; not of variety pel-formers , comic opera artists , or other such persons , but of the upper strata of the profession. Buch men rarely marry , despite their ability to do so' , for the reason , as I have said , that it Is dlfllcult for them to secure women who are Intellectually and socially their equals. They have not mnny opportunities for knowing inch women , though they will bo afforded almost endless opportunities for meeting them. An actor of the rank and standing I Din describing finds the door of almost any homo open to him ; ho is asked to dine , per haps even to visit with most desirable hosts , and allowed to become "chummy" with the ions ; but tbo line is distinctly drawn with a close hand , when ho attempts to inako love to the daughters. The feeling which prompted the passing of a law in Queen Elizabeth's time making an actor "a vagabond and out cast" exists in but slightly modified form to this day. The dramatic Is the ono profession which is still not considered pro-omlnontly respect able , and few people wish their daughters to marry into it. An acquaintance of at least a short duration Is primary to a falling in love , and with the tiossibllltios of such an acquaint ance prevented by vlgilants circumstance , and with the difficulties increased by the nomadic nature of the actor's life , the op- nortunltv. is. Indeed lacklmr. But nrnvidoil on actor can find a woman who will bo a real wife to him , there can surely bo no good reasons to urge for his celcbacy. " FANNY HICK'S PIQUANT ANSWER. This topic marriage is ono which will boar any amount of talking and writing about , but nothing said or written is apt to bo seriously tnucu into consideration. "Lovo will go where 'tis sent,1' and you can't stop a man in love whether nctor or layman from marrying if ho so desircsj. I think actors should mairy when they choose just llko any ordinary person. There are difl'etcnt ways of looking at nmrriago. Seine enter into "it for financial reasons. I don't believe in such marriages. Wedlock is a holy Institution , and should bo regarded as such. Only where love is can the married state bo what It was originally intended to bo and what it should bo. The uetor may marry In or out of the pro fession. In vho former case , though , most managers object to having married couples in their companies , and this brings about tem porary separation , which eventually becomes permanent and ends Up In divorce. It has been said , and still is thought by many people ple , that the exigencies of a player's Ufa are such as conduce to Jealousy and misunder standing. I don't think this is so. Love will llnd no room for doubt. The temptations that harass both actors and actresses are many , but if a person bo single in his affec tions , if hi * love bo of the right ring , nothing can etTcct misunderstanding or disruption. Let therebo no distinction made between the player and the rest of the world. Wo uro all alike in our love for homo and our desire to love and bo loved. Only lot these contemplating matrimony look ut it In a more holy light , consider it thoroughly and approach preach it with care and hesitation. FANNY UICE. NAT 0001IWIN ASKS , WHY NOT ! Why shouldn't an actor marry ? Ho Is human , Jiko all men , mid the love of homo is Inherent in his nature us in that of all men. It Is my opinion that an actor Is spurred on to greater effort and moro finished work through love for wife , children and homo. Ono can't lay down principles for men in love to follow , but If the husband and wife bo professionals both , it is better that thoj should as nearly as possible bo of the same grade of ability. I think , also , that tho.\ should endeavor to bo cast in the same com pany. It were bettor not to bo married than to bo separated for months at n time. How ever , 1 do not sco why any exception shoulc bo made 10 actors marrying , if they want to Lawyers marry , artists marry , physicians marry , mid yet they follow professions whlcl nro quite as exacting as that of thu stago. Hu vnn will llnd thnt U'hntnvrr I think nr wmt avaranybody else thlnkson this subject.lf at nctor bo smitten at all hard , he won't stop to think the matter over , but will follow the promptings of his heart , and marry. Am who will say that ho should not ) NAT C. UoomviN. Mi.i.n. Hum's CAUTIOUS ADVICE. Novcr having h id n husband , I llnd it vcrj difficult to answer the question satisfac torily , H seems tome , however , that on the bingo , as elsewhere , married life must have its u-ood and Dad sides. I believe Unit a young woman of tnlont who weds an actor wreck * her future , for If she loves her husband she will Bncrillco horsol for him , Hho will accept any engagement to stay with him , and , us n loving wlfo she wil take the parts which may most brink' out ho husband's ' talent , while hers would romai ! almost unknown. And yet I have sect couples HO happy that , though vanity , prldo and ambition wcro not exactly satlsllo.l , as u lettirn the heart wassatUllod and reason had to bo hushed. To wed a beautiful nctor is rather danger ous. They mo surrounded by temptation and they uro but men after all. I bellevo thnt the happiest couples are these whcro the husband alone is an ncto and the wife not an artist. She stays homo takes euro of the house , of the children , niu when her husband comes buck from n lout , stay 'on tnu road" his homo appears to him then as a paradise , whore he can root from Jlis troubles ami labors , and where oerv hlnp appears to him new and consequently beautiful. On tha wbolo what I hnvo just said can bo csumcJthui : Actors do well to marry but bould not do so among themselves , KIICA. KAIll.Y MAIItmOCS NOT 11CNKFICIAI I cannot answer as to actors , but I should hluk some actresses , who have had rnnnv oxpcrhmcos in the matrimonial line , would bo able to Illuminate several columns. Oper atic singers , In my Judgment , should marry , but not early. An early marriage , before n singer has accomplished anything , Is very often detrimental to success. After n singer ias well advanced and success la assured , I hlnlt marrlago decidedly advantageous. I iavo married so often lu opera upon the stage It became a stereotyped ceremony to tie , nnd when I married I omitted ho orange wreaths. Nearly all the success- ul opera singers have married , Marriage Is an honorable estate , nnd I do not see why my class should bo excluded. There should > o no philosophizing about It , if ho Is a nlco ellow and they love each other , why , let horn marry. Art cannot bo obliterated by narrlago. Of course , there Is much to bo said about the question of marrlago. Ur , Johnson , lu "Hassclas , " discusses the advan- ages and disadvantages of marrying early and law lu life. On the whole , I think thu ute marriages had the best of the argument. Marry tor love nnd bo happy , nnd then , when any ono puts the question to you , Is marriage n failure I you will know how to answer. MiNNits HAUK. UNIIAI'PINKSS l.tns IN SEPARATION. Some of the loveliest marriages I have scon mvo been in the theatrical profession. I ould name any number of them , but people usually overlook thcso hundreds , nnd point out the comparatively few unhappy ones vhlch como before the public. However , I Innk actors and actresses should resolve to always remain In ono companv , or else marry outside the profession. Whole they are obliged to bo contlnuallly separated , iinlmppi- less Invariably results , no matter how much u love they may have orlginnllv been. GUOKOK W. KA CKTT. SECOND NATt'llE WITH FI.OJICNCE. It's very .strange that such n question hould arise , but still it maybe a natural ono. Of course. I can only speak for Mrs. Florence and myself.

You may call this devotion , if you like , mt Itjs boon going on so long now that it has jecome second nature to bath of us. W. J. ri.oiicNCE. ( AHUIAOE CONDUCIVE TO GENUINE HAITIS'IISS. The public will hardly credit mo with a fair opinion upon the subject of "Should actors Harry 1" owing to the fact that ray piescnt > lny , "Lend Mo Your Wife , " is apt to bo Misleading , but I can conscientiously say that t is all In ttio title and not m fact , as I am otally unlike the ancient Sabincs In cither n lersuaslvo or compulsory loan of wives. Naturally , a man being created a man nnd a woman a woman , nature Intended thnt this mrtncrship should bo ono of Its principal caturcs. As nature docs not question the 'act as to whether a person is an actor or not , ' . don't think that ho should bo denied that domestic felicity which others in different occupations of life enjoy , or that ho should bo tcprived of that Important appendage and in dispensable luxury over which all poets and icwspapers have raved a niothor-fn-law. If t was intended by an all-wise Creator that ictors should not marry , many lawyers , llko > .hello , would lese their occupations , and ho public bo spared n great deal o' unneces sary pain , and the divorcing of so many sonbrettes would fall to bo epidemic , like the grip , If theatrical people did not marry , sensa tional bead-lino writer ; in the newspapers vould lese their great opportunity of refer ring in largo caiiltnls to "The Divorce of an Actress , " leaving' the readers to discover hat the alleged actress is a female ropewalker - walker or n snake charmer. Every ono who svor saw a footlight from the wrong side , you mow , Is invariably referred to as an nctor or actress in the newspapers. I bellevo In marrlago because mnrrino is : onduclvo to genuine happiness , ns is best it- ustratcd by the thousands of happily mated 'rlcnds of mine. I believe moro fully in a inn- .uro muuriujje , that that nature Joins to gether , rather than a mere Joining of lives for wealth or position. I do not believe in early or youthful mar riages , as the minds of cither party have not matured enough to fullv understand what is > est for them. What may bo reasonable and ogical today In tholr Judgment will bo n play thing tomorrow , to bo cost aside as a child would n toy , and thus many lives are made unhappy. Truly mated marrlago becomes tor an actor a silken cord that binds him moro devotedly and sacredly to his art , les sening all his labors , heightens all his Joys , nnd makes him a manlier , happier man. UOLANU KEED. POTI1EKN 11EUEVES IN STAOE M.UIItlAOES. The question of members of the theatrical profession marrying Is purely n personal ono , nnd should bo entirely a matter of choice. I don't sro why stugo people should not be just as happy in the bonds of matrimony as people ple lu private life. The fact of their being separated for a time by necessity of playing In different companies has nothing to do with it , to my mind. If people are going to bo bud they will ho bad anyway. If husband nnd tvifo are inclined to bo untrue to each other it does not make any difference whether they are miles away from each other or not. Such a question would bo the last 0110 to arise it a man in any other business was obliged to lenvo his wlfo and go abroad for any length of time. Besides thnt the temptation an actress meets with nlwnys comes from the outside. No man on the stage ever pays attention to a woman in his company if he sees it Is dlsa- Rreeablo to her , and she does not desire It. I have been thrown into contact with some pretty rough people In my career , and yet I fall to remember nnj dlrespect shown a wo man who proves she is worthy of respcctand I know of moro happy marriages among theatrical people than I could mention in an hour. This is n very tender subject with mo I mean my profession and its morals. I feel very deeply on the question. I can say sin cerely that , were I thinking of getting mar- nod. I shouldn't care whether rav wife were on the stage or not ; in fact , I think I should prefer it so , as I bellevo it is n good thing for women to have work , their art or profession , to occupy their thoughts nnd keep them healthy and happy. E. H. SOTIIEUN. MINNIE MUIDRIIX SAYS LOVE IS TUB BEST. In nil clnsses of society do wo llnd nbout the same equal division of the bad and the good. In all circles and professions there uro men ntid women who are morally worthless - loss , nnd men and women who nro noblo. In questions of Important and delicate social nature consideration nnd thought can bo given to this latter class alone. I do not see how marringo can Interfere with the popularity of un actor , or why n favorite artist should becorno less of a favor ite because ho or she happens to bo a hus band or wlfo. To assort that the public esteem and admiration for a dramatic genius are lessoned because of the existence of cer tain domestic affairs is to rob the stngo at once of its dignity and honor. Public vener ation Is given to gonlus , noble thought and patient endeavor. Unless the UomoHlo ro tations interfere with these qualities the actor need not fear that his audience is con cerning Itself with thoughts of his private II Co. Naturally , the mosttlporfoct union of the people of the stngo Is that wherein both man and woman participate in the same ambition. In that case , there Is n complete mutual un demanding and congeniality in taste. However - over , there Is absolutely no reason why t good woman should have a good husband the less , or bo less Imppy in her wedded llfo because - cause that ho Is an actor , though she bo not nn actress. I think Hint there exists but ono question in regard to the divisibility of nn actor's marringo , and that is in the case of the woman of the stain who marries the man not connected with It. However glorious her talents , no woman with n true heart In her breast can llnd perfect content and happiness without love nnd the tin IP ties of home. No good woman should marry unless n love greater than that which she feels for her art Is born to her. If n man sutlers in what seems n public exhibition of the dear personality so sacred to him , the right sort of u woman will not hesitate n moment in relinquishing that which is liutnU iatitig to her husband , nnd conscquentlv dangerous to the perfect content of their union , Olory and fume nro very charming things , but totally inadequate to meet the heart needs of a true woman. If u woman ho not a genius , she has no deli 111 to duty to perform in the world of art llut , on the other baud , it would seen scarcely right to rob that world of any groa gifts clearly bestowed for its elevation nui benefit , A great goalus is a great rospons illlty , nn almo'jt sactrtl chnrco , ? to bo used 01 Inestimarlj pood. The question Is , 'Should ugc'.ius marry I" Certainly } tfcnltis vould bo n curse v , ere it to dobnr its po3- ossor from the only complete happiness the ics of love and homo. Hut the imirTltigo of n genius Is no ordinary affair. Mutual con- 'csslons ' , perhaps sncrlllcos , nro nocossnrv. 'apes might bo written on the subject , but after all. true , unselfish , generous lovers will discover the way out of the complication. It seems to mo that this Is the only qucs- Ion that appears in the discussion of the nctor's chances of happiness in marriage. In nil walks of llfo , In all classes of men , mar riage Is n success when the contraclinn parties ruly love nnd understand each other , and n /allure when they tlo not. In discussing n matter of this hind , ono un consciously assumes the loftiest attitude. n the world of nrt , the impulses of the mi- ntcllcctunl. potty , nnd unimportant can carcely bo taken Into account. MINNIE M xiiunux-FiiKR. MAittn Tr.MrnsT COUNSELS DF.L'AV. I nm nfrnld If I gtvo my opinion of-ttio sub- cct people will think I nm prejudiced , but I vlll say that I think girls on the stage should valt until they are old enough to know.'tholr own itilnds before they marry. So unany narry voryyoung.nnd completely' s'pol ! their 'uturo by so doing. For Instance , n young voman has perhaps made n fair start in her irofesslon , and has ngood voice. She tnnrrics some man she fancies when she is sowiitenr , vho wants her to stny at homo , or Is contiti- mlly injuring her prospects In inany ways , know of so many such cases , nnd of course unhnpplncss must result. It was so In my own case. I married very young for n home. and I found afterward that my husband nnd nvself weio entirely unsulted to each other. Wo had no sympathy with each other ; hence n divorce. I see no renson why nn actress should not , bo happily married if she only vails until she is old enough to know who she wants , nnci whether her choice will ren der her happy. MAUIE TOIITST. ACTORS SHOULD NOT M\Rlir. Decidedly , I think that actors should not marry. "Art is n Jealous mistress. " Ucsldi's his , there are other reasons. If an nctor marry u woman in the profession ho will mtUrally desire to bo with her In thosamo , company. This Is Just what managers don't vant. Whenever difficulties arise with cither party the other takes nhnud'njid , while nn under-study might easily bo obtained for one , it Is not practicable to hnvo under studies for every member of the cast. This , of course. Is n very rude box oflicaiviow , but nest companies nro managed no\V-from the ) ox office. If , on the other hand-rUio player nnrry a lay woman , ho will cither have to take her with him on his tours or. bo. separ ated from her nine months out of twelve every year. Such a bond as this may bo ; oou in law , but it Is not marriage ) Unless the actor bo a "star" or receive nvery largo salary , ho would llnd it too ex ) > enslvo to pay .ho traveling expenses of his wlfo from place to place. And separation plays havoc with n married couple. It seems to mo 'that u man ran only bo a true actor who has but the ono eve his nrt. There aio sorao married Thespians , of course , who are among our most successful and famous actors , but many of them had to try mrrriugo Mjveral times acforo they succeeded In obtaining ft wlfo in touch with their profession. I think every nrtist should read DaudetV'Artists' Wives , " ind digest it thoroughly. With such n tex- rook of ndvlco on my table , T am" * ashamed of my temerity In discussing the subject. WlLI.UM L M'KtYE. "I See Potter & George Co.'s tid. pigo : 17. V. Wo have now arrived at the conclusion that theosophy presents with apu-fonco of man ; nnd the natural question which next irises is : what proofs have wo that this science is a real science , nnd tbat its loadi ngs are right ? The answer Is that complete ind convincing proofs can bo sought for only n our inner being ; that they are obvious only to the seeker himself ; nnd that they uio of such a nature that absolute proof cannot i)0 ) given by ono man to nnothert'but only by ilmsclf to himself. I can easlly'lthatjino'that ' this explanation , at the first glance , secius n delightful way of shirking the question . for lore wo have a science claiming to bo little loss than divine , whoso advocates Instead of giving practical demonstration of Hie truths which they claim to teach us" all 'natural 'sciences are obliged to do assert that each ono is to bo his own Judge of what Is true nnd what is false. But on closer inspection this seeming Irregularity vanishes. The knowledge which wo nro accustomed to as sociate with the name of science is "what wo must call immanent in its character that is to say , it confines Itself within the bounds of all possible experience wliioh can reach us through the channels of our senses from the world around us ; whereas the knowledge which wo gain of the inner life is transcendental , or , knowl edge which passes the bounds of all those phenomenal experiences which illustrate the former ; so that the kind of dcnjbnsiratlou which is suitable for the one is obviously in applicable to the ottier. Not by denying the validity of proof which comes stfainht from the inner consciousness wo nro only empha sizing the fact , already sufficiently'well es tablished , that most of us knotiniardly any thing about our inner being ; for want of knowledge In this direction , and not the ab sence of the occult side of man , is tbo true reason why such proofs are ijlsaredited. Surely it is obvious that while nature seeks to make her presence known to man by act ing on his senses , there must be a something behind thesti same senses which represents their vitality and subjective quality. Nature Is necessarily Judged by external manifesta tion. Man in his turn can be known only by his Internal manifestations. Wo have , therefore , n definite and ever- present object for theosophical study , which wo may synthesize In the word "conscious ness ; " and , while our exterior llfonqachos us the relation of tilings to thing's , our Inter ior llfo explains ( to those who Know how to learn ) the relation of things to thOmstlvos ; for hero the object of study is. nla6 the sub ject , nnd the result may bo said. Ibjja Inner conviction , or facts present to thenrsclvcs. The study U profound , for It is nlwliv ? car ried along the line of depth instcad"ot * p\ten- sion , as is the case with the study of phe nomena. But it is certninly accompanied bv clangers , rightlj understood by pojlular opin ion , which generally condemns introspection. But the wisdom of which I have already spoken nets as u complete safeguard against ml peril , guiding the footsteps of thotrnveler safely past the pitfalls in the path. Wo hold , however , that sooner or-hitcr every human being must learn to know him self , cither by voluntary cffo'tt or forced thereto by the hard nnd cruel , pressure of outside circumstances. This knowledge Is the golden crown theosophy offers to mail , In order that ho mav cease to llvo hpund by the law of necojslty : and the light. 1which Il luminates him will beautify llfo to n degree uudrsaint of by the slaves of passion and desire - sire , who represents the units of o'ur "present social system. It oilers no deflnlto recom penses as inducements to others to uccomo thcosophtsts , for It holds that each ono of us Is potentially a ficd , whoso latent powers it rouses Into llfo , through the liberation of will by knowledge , mid it would therefore bo only defeating its own object wcro the will to act through Initiatives sup plied by the mean nnd childish Inducements of n proffered reward. Iirilly expressed the mission of theosophy is to deepen our knowledge of llfo ; to elevate its aims , to recapitulate what wo have said ; it declines to furnish proofs of the ncouracy of its deductions , except these which the theosophlst himself discovers for himself. But , on the oilier hand , it offers to each ono n chart , whereon is traced ttio outline of the shores washed by the stream of llfo , nnd It Insists on the venturesome mariner under taking his perilous voyngo armed with n care fully trained power of analysis and'logical deduction , for wisdom is the. end an.d , nlm of his Journey , and this appeals not to his strength and muscle , but to his Intellect , his mind and his soul.
