“ 20 SHOULD STAGE PEOPLE MARRY A Much Mooted Question Discussed Affirm* atively and Negatively, THINK WHAT STARS ABOUT IT, “The Proof of the Pudding is in the ting of it"—Cautious Re- plics from Actors and Actresses, Owing to the itinerent life of the actor, it has often been asked, Is it wise for the actor to marry! Can he have a happy home and be away from it continuously! While the public has thought much on the subject, the actor has never been heard from. Recently theso two queries were caused to be sub- mitted to a number of the leading members of the dramatic profession, and their an- swers, unique and intcresting, are given below, THAGEDY'S NONLE MOTIHER SPEAKS, Should actors marry! Why not! _Actors are like other people; they have affection, desives, pleasure, passion; have noble senti- ments, morals, companionship—in fact all tho attributes of people in other walks of life, and to consign them to cclibacy would be unuatural and_contrary to the command of the Lord when he took part in the mar- ringe at Cana. It must bo admitted that marriago is honorablo among all men, and the scripture especially enjoins that the hus- band shall be the Licad of bis wife, as Christ 18 the head of the church; and 1 regard mar- riage as oue of the most sacred institutions ever ordained, yet a condition not to be en- tered upon wishout due consideration, and then mot unless the parties entertain the strongest and most en- deariug affection one for the other; and these considerations being observed, there is no reason to think such a union will not be a happy one, even among uctors, and 1 say actors becauso' the natuac of their ro- lations to the mimic stage is frequently of ich a character as to cause ungenerous and unjust criticism from those who lose sight of the artist, only scemg tho man or woman before them. And this being the case, it would probably be better, as a rule, for actors to marry within the profession, as the outside partner, unless possessed of mor good sense and judgment than we usually find in humanity, will be apt to develop to & large degree the green-eyed monster, and make home a valley of unrcst and misery, and in that case marriage, to that particular couple, would be a failure, if not a crime, JANAUSCHEK, MANSFIELD'S VIEWS ON MARKIAGE, Mr. Richara Mansfield, when asked for an ©opinion on this subject, said : “Why uot actors as well as other men? They are uble to support 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 dificult for them to secure wives —I mean wives who ‘would be their equals. 1 amn speaking now of an actor in the best sense of the word—that is, of a gentleman who has adopted the stage a means of livelihood, and who retains with his profession his breeding and gentle characteristics; not of variety perform comic opera artists, or other such persons, but of the upper strata of the profession. Buch men rarely marry, despite their ability to do s0, for the reason, as I have said, thatit Is difficult for them to secure women who are Intellectually and socially their equals. The have not many opportunities for knowiug such women, though they will be afforded almost endless opportunities for meeting them. Anactor of the rank and standing 1 am describing finds the door of almost any home open to him; heis asked to dine, pe baps even to visit with most desirable hosts, and allowed to become *‘chummy” with the sons; but the line is distinctly drawn with a close hand, when he attempts to make love to the daughters, The feelimg which prompted the passing of a law in Queen Klizabeth's time making an actor ‘‘a vagabond and out- cast” exists in but slightly moditied form to this day. The dramatic is the one profession which 1s still not considered pre-eminently respect- able, and few people wish their daughters to marry irto it. An acquaintance of at least a short duration is primary to a falling in love, and with the possivilities of such an acquaint- ance prevented by vigilants circumstance, and with the difficulties increased by the nomadic nature of the actor's life, the op- portunity, is, indeed lacking. But provided an actor cun find a woman who will be a real wife to him, there can surely be no good reasons to urge for his celebacy.” FANNY HICE'S PIQUANT ANSWER. This topic—marriage--is one which will bear any amount of talking and writing about, but nothing said or written is apt to be seriously taken iuto consideration, *Love will go where 'tis sent,” and you can't stop a man 1 love—whother actor or layman—from marrying if ne so desives. I think actors should marry when they choose just like ary ordinary person. ‘There are different ways of looking at murriage. Some enter into it for financial reason: I don’t believe in such marriages. Wedlock is a holy institution, and shouid be regarded as such. Only where love is can the married state be what it was originally intended to be and what 1t should be, ‘Phe actor may marry in or out of the pro- fession. Inihe former case, though, most manugers object to having married couples in their companies, and this brings about tem- porary separation, which @ventually becomes ermanent and ends up in divorce. It has en said, and still is thought by many peo- ple, that the exigencies of u player's life are such as conduce to jealousy und misunder- standing, I don't think this is so, Love will find no room for doubt. The temptations that harass both actors and actresses are many, but if a person be singlo in his affec- tions, 1f his love be of the right ring, nothing can effect misunderstanding ov disruption. Let there be no distinction made between the player and the rest of the world. We are all alike in our love for home andour desire tolove and be loved. Ouly let those contemplating matrimony 1ook at it in a more holy light, consider it ‘thoroughly and ap- proach it with care aud hesitation, Fa ¥ Rice. NAT GOODWIN ASKS, WITY NoT! Why shouldn't an actor marry! He s human, Jike all men, and the love of home is fnhierent in his nature as in that of all men. 1t is my opinion that an actor is spurred on to groater effort and more finished work through love for wife, children and home, One can't lay down principles for men in love to foilow, but if the husband and wife be professionals both, it is _better that they should as vearly us bossiblo be of the samo grade of ability. I tuink, also, that they should endeavor to be cast in the same com- pany. It were better not to be married than 10 be separated for months at a time, How- ever, I do notseo why any exception should be made 10 actors marrying, if they want to. Lawyers marry, urtisis marry, physiciaus marry, and yet they follow professions which are auite asexacting s that of the stage. But you will find that whatever I think,or what- everanybody else thinks,on this subject,if an actor bo smitten at all hard, he won't stop to think the matter over, but will foliow tho promptings of his heart, and mar And who will say that be should nott Nat C.

RIEA'S CAUTIOUS ADVIC Never having had a husband, I find it very difficult to answer the question satisfac- torily. it seems tome, however, that on the stage, as elsewhere, married life must have its ood and vad sides. 1 beliove that i young woman of talent who weds un nctor wrécks her future, for if she loves her husband she will sacrifice herselt for him, sho will accept any_engugement to stay with him, and, as o loving wife she will tako the parts' which may most bring out her husband's talent, while hers would remain almost unkucwn, And yet I have seen couples 5o happy that, though vanity, pride and ambition were not exactly satisfied, as return the heart was satisfiod and reason had 10 be hushed. To wed a beautiful actor is rather danger- ous. They are surrounded by temptations and they are but men after all I belfeve that the happiest those where the husband alone is an wotor and the wifo not an artist, Sho stays home, takes care of the house, of the ehiidren, aud when her husband comes back from a long stay *‘on the road”’ bis home ppears to bim then as & paradise, where ho can rest from bis woubles auu labors, aud where every- | couples are THE OMAHA DAILY: BEE SUNDAA, APRIL 26, 1801—TWENTY PAGES thing appoears to him new and consequently i bility, an almost sacred charge, sto be used veautifu for ‘inestimat|s good.

USHAPPINESS LIES IS SEPARATION, Somo of the loveliest marriages I have seen have been in the theatrical profession. I could name any number of them, but people usually overlook these bundreds, and point out the comparatively few unhappy ones which come before the public. However, 1 think actors and actresses should resolve 'to always remain in one company, or else marry outside the profession, = Where they are obliged to be continuallly separated, unhappi- ness invarfably results, o matter how much in love they may have originally been. Geonee W, FAWCET SECOND NATURE WITH FILORENCE. It's very strange that such a question should arise, but still 1t may be a natural one. Of course, I'can only speak for Mrs. Florence and myself. We have been married over thirty years, and are as happy as mortals can be. You may call this devotion, if you like, but it}s beeu going on s0 long now that it has become second nature to bath of us W. J. PLoRENCE. MARRIAGE CONDUCIVE TO GENUINE HATPINESS, The public will hardly credit me with a fair opinion upon the subject of “Should actors marry (" owing to tho fact that my present play, “Lend Me Your Wife,” is apt to be nusleading, but I can conscientiously say that it is all in the titie and not in fact, as 1 am totally unlike the ancient Sabiues in either a persunsive or compulsory loan of wives. Naturally, a man being created a man and & woman a woman, nature tended that this partnership should be one of its principal features. As nature does not question the fact as to whether a person is un actor or not, Idon't think that he should be denfed that domestic felicity which others in d¥fferent occupations of 1ife enjoy, or that he should be deprived of that important appendage and in- dispensable luxury over which all poets and newspapers have vaved—a mother-in-law. 1f it was intended by an_all-wise Creator that actors should not marey, many lawyers, like Othello, would lose their occupations, and the public be spared a great deal of unncees- sury pain, and the divorcing of so many soubrettes would fail to bo epidemic, like the erip, 1t theatrical people did not marry, sensa- tional head-line writers in the newspapers would lose their great opportunity of refe ring 1 large capitals to *“Ihe Divorce of an Actress,” leaviug the readers to discover that the alleged actress is a female rope- walker or a snake charmer. very one who ever saw a footlight from the wrong side, you kuow, is fnvariably referred to as an actor or actress in the newspapers. 1 believe in marriage because marria e is conducive to genuine happiness, as is best il- lustrated by the thousands of happily mated friends of mine. I helieve more fully in a ma- ture nmrriage, that that natuve joins to- gether, rather than a mere joining of 1ives for wealth or position. I do not believe in early or youthful mar- riages, as the minds of either party have not matured enough to fully understaud what is best for them. What may be reasonable and logical today in their judgment will be a play- thing tomorrow, to be cast aside as a child would a toy, and thus many lives are made unbappy. ‘Truly matea marriage becomes for an actor a silken cord that binds him more devotedly and sacredly to his art, les- sening all his labors, heightens all his joys, and makes him a manlier, happier man. RoLAND REED, SOTHERN BELIEVES 1N STAGE MARRIAGES. The question of members of the theatrieal profession marrying is purely a personal one, and should be entirely a matier of choice. I don’t sce why stage people should not be just 35 happy In the bonds of matrimony 88 peo- plo in private life. The fact of théir being separated for a time by necessity of playing in different companies has nothing to do with my mind. If peopleare goiug to be bad will be bad anyway. 1f husband and wife are inclined to be untrue to cach other it does not make any difference whether they are miles away from each other or not. Such 4 question would be the last one to arise it a man in any other business was obliged to leave his wife and go abroad for any length of time, Besides that the temptation an actress meets with always comes from the outside, No man on the siage ever pays attention to & woman in his company if he sces it is disu- greeablo 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 fail to remember any diréspect shown a wo- man who proves she is wortly of respect,and I know of more happy marriages among theatrical peoplo than I could meution in an our. This is a 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- ried, T shouldn’t caro whether my wifo were on the stage or not; in fact, I think I should prefer it 50, as I believe it is a good thing for women to have work, their art or profession, to occupy their thoughts and keep them healthy and happy. E. H. SOTHERN. MINNIE MADDERN SAYS LOVE IS THE BEST, In all classes of society do we fiud about the same equal division' of the bad and the good. In all circies and professions there ave men and women who are morally worth- less, and men and women who are noble. In questions of important and delicate social nature consideration and thought can be given to this latter class alone, Idonot sec how marriage can interfere with the popularity of an actor, or why a favorite artist should become less of a fayor- ite because he or she happens to be a bus- band or wife. To assert that the public esteem and admiration for a dramatic genius are lessened because of the existence of cer- tain domestic affairs 15 to rob the stage at once of its dignity and honor. Public vener- ation is given to genius, noble thought and patient endeavor. Unless the domestic re- lations interfere” with these qualities the actor need not fear that his audience is c cevning itself with thoughts of his private life. Naturally, the mostiperfect union of the people of the stage is that wherein both man and woman participate in the same ambition. In that case, there is a complete mutual un- derstanding und congenfality in taste, How- ever, thero is absolutely no reason why u good woman should bave a good husband the less, or be less happy in her wedded lifo be- cause that he is au actor, though she be uot an actress. I think that there exists but one quest in rogard to the advisibility of an actor's marriage, and that is in the case of the woman of the staze who marries the mun not connected with it, However glorious her talents, no womwnn with s true heartin her breast can find perfect content and bappine without love and the dear ties of home, No good woman should marry unless a love tor than that which she feels for art s b to hel It a mau suffers in what seems a public exhibition of the dear personulity so sacred to him, the right sort of n woman will not hesitale a moment in relinquishing that which is humil fating to her husband, and consequentl dangerous to the perfect content of their union, vy and fame aro very charming things, but totaily inadequate to meet the heart ‘needs of @ true woman, If a woman be not a genius, she has no defi nito duty to perform in the world of art But, ou the other hand, 1t would seem scarcely right to roo that world of any great ifts clearly bestowed for its elevation and ofit. A great gouius is a great responsi all walks of life, in all classes of men, 1 riage is a success when the contracting parties truly love and understand each other, and a failure when they do not In discussing a matter of this kind, one un- | consciously “assumes the loftiest attitude. In the world of art, the impulses of the un- intellectual. petty, and unimportant can scarcely be taken into account. MiNNIE MADDERN-FISKE, MARIE TEMPEST COUNSELS DELAY, T am afraid if I give my opinion of-the sub- ject people will think I am prejudiced, but 1 will say that I think girls on the stage should wait until they are old enough to know:their own minds before they marcy. So many marry very young,and completely spoit’ thei future by 80 doing. For instance, n young woman has perhaps made a fai start {n_bor profession, and has a good voice. She marries some man she fancies when shé is sewenteer, who wants her to stay at home, or is contin’ ually injuring her prospects in many ways, 1 know of so many such cases, and of course unhappiness must result. It was so in my own case, I married very young for a home, and I found afterward that my husband and myself were entirely unsuited to cach other. We had no sympatliy with each other: hence adivorce, Iseenoreason why an nctress should not bo happily fod if she only waits until she 1s old_enough to know who she wants, and whether her choice will ren- der her happy. ManiE TEMPEST. ACTORS SHOULD NOT MATRY. Decidedly, I think that actors.should not marry. “Art1s a jealous mistress.” Besides this, there are other reasons. If an actor marry a womau in_the profession he will naturally desire to be with her in the same company. This is just what managers don't want, Whenever difficulties arise with either party the other tukes a hand and while an under-study migit easily be obtamned for one, it is not practicable” to have under- studies for every member of the cast. This, of course, is a very rude box oftice -view, but most companies aro managed now- from the box office. 1f, on the other handgthe player marry a lay woman, he will effaer have to take her with him on his tours or.be. scpar- ated from her nine months out of twelve every year. Suchabond as this may be good in’law, but it is not marpiage! Unle the actor boa *star” or receive a.very lar salary, he would find it too expensive to pay the traveling expenses of his wife from place to place. And separation plays havoe with a married couple. It seems to mo_ that & man cau only be a true actor who has but the one love—lis art, There arc some married Thespians, of course, who are among our most successful and famous actors, but many of them had to try mrrriage several times before they succeeded in obtaining a wife in touch with their profession. 1 think every artist should read Daudet's* ' Artists’ Wives,” and digest it thoroughly. With such a tex- book of advice on my table, T am*ashamed of my temerity in discussing the subject WiLLIAM LACKAYE, - b & George Co, See Pot s ud. page 17, ek s i THEOSOPHY. iV We have now arrived at the conclusion that theosophy presents us with a Aefence of man; and the natural question which next arises is: what proofs have we that this science is a real science, and that its taach- ings ave right! The ans:er is that complete and convineing proofs can be sought for only in our inner being: that they are obvious only to the seeker himself; and that they ure of such a nature that, absolute proof cannot be given by one wan to another: but only by himself to himself. I can easily 1magine that this explanation, at the first glance, seeins a delightful way of shirking the question: for here we have a science claiming to be little less than divine, whose advocates instead of giving practical demonstration of the truths which they claim to teach—as" a1l natural nces are obliged to do—assert that each one is to be his own judge of what is true and what is false. Buton closer iuspection this seeming irregularity vanishes. Tho knowledge which we are” accustomed to as sociate with the name of science is what we must call immanent in its character—that is 10 say, it confines itself within the bounds of all possible experience which can reach us through the channels of our senses from the world around us; whereas the knowledgo which we ' 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 demonscration which is suitable for the one applicable to the other, Not by denying the validity of proof which comes stifight from the muer consciousness we_are only empha- sizing the fact, already sufficiently well tablished, that most of us knowurdly any thiug about our inner being; for want of knowledge in this direction, and not_the ab- sence of the occult side of man, is the true reason why such proofs are discredited, 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 these same senses which represents their vitality and subjective quality. Nature is necessarily judged by external manifesta- tion. Man in s turn can be known only by his internal manifestations. We have, therefore, a definite and ever- present object for theosophical study, which we may synthesize in the word Yconscious- ness:"and, while our exterior life* teaches us the relation of things to things, our inter- ior life explains (to those who know hew to learn) the relation of things to themselves; for here the object of study is also the sub- ject, and the result may be said to be- inner conviction, or facts present to themselyes, The study i3 profouud, for it is always car- ried along the line of depth instead of ‘exten- sion, as is the case with the study of phe- nomena. But it is certainly accompunied by dangers, rightly understood by popular opin- iou, which generally condewmns jutrospection. But the wisdom of which I have niready spoken acts as u complete safeguard against all peril, guiding the footsteps of the traveler safely past the pitfalls in the path. We hold, however, that seener owlater every human being must learn to kffow him- self,” either by voluntary effort or foreed theteto by the hard and’ cruel. pressure of outside circumstances, This knowledge is the golden crown theosophy offers to mi, in order that he may cease to live hound by the law of necessity: and the light, which il- luminates him will beautify life to a degreo undraamt of by the slaves of passion and d sire, who represents the units of our ‘present social system. It offers no definite recom- as inducements to others to vecome ssophists, for it holds that each oune of us'is potentially a God, whose latent powers it rouses into life, through the liboration of will by knowledge, and it would therefove be only defeating its own object were the will to act through imtiatives sup- plied by the mean and childish inducements of a proffered reward. Britly expressed the mission of theosophy is to déepen our knowledge of life; 1o eleval its aims, to recapitulate what we have said; it declines to furnish proofs of the aceurac of its deductions, except those_ which th theosophist himself discovers for bimself. But, on the other hand, it offers to each one & chart, whereon is traced the outline of the shores washed by the stream of life, and it insists on the venturesome mariner unde taking his perilous voyage armed with a fully traiued power of analysis and logical deduction, for wisdom is the end agd aim of his journey, and this appeals aot to his strength and muscle, but to his intellect, his mind and his soul.
