for the stage that the affair should have
occurred aa It did, for It la sure to fur
bish the opponents of tha theater with
much ammunition for their uses. The fact
that tha (hooting occurred at a roof gar
den, that tha victim wa known a "patron"
of chorus girls and the woman In the case
was once a member of a "Florodora" sei
tette, will be seised upon to point many
morals, and all of them to the disadvantage
f the theater. It will be well, therefore,
to get all the facts of the deplorable af
fair firmly fixed In your minds before com
ing to any definite conclusion In the mat-
tor.
--
Mls Evelyn Nesbltt, who afterward b
am Mr. Harry Thaw,- waa a beautiful
girl, and haa bean much advertised as a
beautiful woman. At It aha met Stanford
White, a millionaire architect and Ullle
tanta, who had already a reputation as a
patron and protector of chorus girls. Miss
Xesbltt waa then an artist s model, with
aa ambition to go on tha stage. White
agreed to advano her Interests and took
hr under hla "protection." She got along
aa far aa a front rank position In the
chorus. In Pari aha met Harry Thaw,
and there aha withdrew from the "protec
tion" of the millionaire who was mar
ried to that of the millionaire who w;is
Willing to marry her. She Is no more to
be claased as an actor than as a painter,
(or bar relations to tha one art Is as seri
ous and as Intimate aa to the other. It
should be born in mind, also, that when
Harry Thaw waa marrying her he knew,
or at least should have known, enough of
her past to have deprived him of any de
fensive claim against White. He was a
man of much experience In such affairs; he
knew that a chorus girl could not afford
tha trip to Paris nor the expensive luxuries
with which he found her surrounded. But
ho married her, and now he Is locked up
In prison for ahootlng tha man he says
"ruined hla wife." Just ' think of these
facta before you condemn the theater or
Its people In connection with thla tragedy.
When Kan Patterson, another of that
noted "Florodora" collection of beautiful
women, waa on trial In New York for
murdering tha man who had tired of her
and waa seeking to get back to his lawful
wife, aha was commonly described as an
actress. Thla was vehemently denied at
tha time, just as It will be denied that
Evelyn Neabltt-Thaw la an actress. It may
with equal force be denied that they are
representative of a hard working, self-respecting
body of young women who have
become mora or less well known to the
public, at least across the footlights. The
Nesbltts and the Pattersons are no more
truly typical of the chorus girl than they
ar of womankind in general. The chorus
girl la a worthy and In many waya neces
sary member of tha great army that de
vote Its Ufa to the amusement of the pub
lie. Bha la bound by the conditions of her
employment to a hard lot. The exactions
of the theater are such aa prevent her
from Indulging In any serious dissipations,
for If aha does aha loses her place. Life Is
as earnest for ber aa It la for any of her
alsters working at other employment. She
baa many temptations, but no more than
tha shop girl or the factory girl, and she
early learn to avoid the most serious of
tha danger that surround her. She also
learn that the price of advancement In her
business 1 the same that must be paid
elsewhere, careful attention to the work
set down for her to do. She must excel
In each task set before she can be ad
vanced. To do this she must work hard.
Her natural talent and ability la developed
to tha utmost by her efforts to hold her
place, and If she possesses any real talent
It la soon discovered by the malinger , who
la always watching for these signs among
the girl In tha chorus. But It Is not an
asy road to success, and If she has the
good of the profession seriously at heart
he ha little or no time for those things
that end In sensational shooting affrays.
Neither Nan Patterson nor Evelyn Nesbltt
was thla kind of a girl.
One of th unfortunate thing tn this con
nection Is that the actor who doesn't get
divorced or tha choru girl who doesn't
get Into some sort of unpleasant scrap Is
little heard of. They get Just what notice
their work entitles them to and no more.
Actors hav little opportunity for horn
life, but they turn to It Just aa do other
men and women, and what they can do

making up your judgment. It may aid

as such Is not to blame because one or

second road tour, which begins th middle
of February with engagement at the Cin
cinnati Music hall and Chicago Audito
rium, and after this the principal western
and northwestern cities are to be visited,

of the organization, will be heard in "Gto
conda," "Faust," "Trovatore," "Alda"
"Adrlana," "La Tosca," and the more dra
matic parts In the companys repertoire.
Miss Alice N'ellsen will this season be
heard under much more favorable auspices
than ever before, making her debut ln
"The Daughter of the Regiment," the prin
cipal role of which affords excellent oppor
tunities for the display of her vocal abili
ties, although her appearance as Mlml In
"La Boheme" will be of considerable In
terest to her admirers throughout the
country. The other prima donna of the
company, and all but two of the leading
mule members, have been secured by Mr.
Russell from the leading Italian opera
houses. The ballet and chorus work, which
has always been such a strong feature of
the ensemble ln New Orleans, will be kept
up to the same high standing and the en
tire company, which will number 1G0 peo
ple, will be the best equipped for a long
road tour of any company which has
gone out for many years.
