a Mrs. George Gould Hasn’t Forgotten How to Act; Crush at Plaza Reminds Her Pormer Edith Kingdon Returns to Stage for One Matinee in the Star Role of “Mrs. Van Vechten’s Divorce Dance,” Supported by Kyrle Bellew. fAPPLAUDED BY SOCIETY. |, AND THE PROFESSION. Great Crowd Listens to Play- let at Mrs. Martin’s Musicale Tea, and They Were All “Somebodies,” Too, in Costly Furs and Gowns. (Of course you went to “Mrs, Ven |sweohten’s Divorce Danco” at tho Plaza |yenterday afternoon? No? What 4 jpity, old girl! Beastly sbame you haidn't look in, oh chap! ‘Yes, thers was a mob.

Maxine Diliott's furs were as black jas her hair, and the rest of her was Dlack velvet. She wasn't the least bit theatrical, and she went home very | quietly at the end. Ethel Barrymore | ‘stopped to talk and her hat and things ‘nad a few words to say for themselves ‘Arnold Daly, who's going to be a| Grawing-room actor, was there too rather taking !t away from the society | ‘actresses. | Isn't it funny, by the way, that soc!- ety people will go out of their way to} see acting when !t's all around them from morning till night—and then back to morning again? | Crush Delayed the Start. | But we're a long time getting to “Mrs. Van Vechten’s Dance," aren't we? It was quite like that yesterday afternoon, Mr. Frederick Townsend Martin, who lured us into the thing, gave it out that the play would begin at 4.99, but {t was some time after that before the ushers could take a long breath. They were all from the front families, but only those fn the know could tell them from the hotel people.
