WIVES O s MANAGERS.
Mi s. A. M. Palm • r, Mre. Henry E. Abbey
Mrs. John Stetspn, Mrs. Edward Har
rigan, Mrs. Mart Hanley, and Others
.—Their Aid to Their Husbands.
From the New Yofk Morning Journal.
One of the stage carpenters in a promi
nent theatre remarked sagely the other
dAy:
“1 see a good deal in the papers about the
Misters of the profession, but I seldom see
anything about the Mistresses. But they’ve
got a lot to say.”
This is probably true. Most men in this
independent America of ours depend a good
deal more on their’wivos' advice than they
care to own, and among the managers, who
rule a business that is the plaything of every
breeze that blows, the rule is most binding.
This grows, perhaps, from the fact that in
theatrical matters woman to-day “rules the
roost," and woman can ordinarily tell what
will please her sex better than a man in the
way of plays. For instance, Mr. A. M. Pal
mer, whose business acumen and thorough
common sense in the selection of his pieces
is universally acknowledged, and, what is
better still, is attested by his uniform suc
cess, never brings out a drama or a comedy
at the popular Madison Sqaure Theatre with
out submitting it for a reading to Mrs. Pal
mer, and she has often made suggestions that
have added in no small degree to the attrac
tiveness Of the play; indeed, within a month
past the new cpmedy-drama that was ac
cepted by Mr. Palmer was subsequently
much improved through Mrs. Palmer’s sug
gestion that, the original motive of the piece
was not sufficient upon whic 1 to base the
consequences that followed from it; and so
the author took it back, re-arranged this
motive so as to make the original crime more
striking than at first, and the piece immedi
ately oecame one of great interest, where
formerly, perhaps, its success might have
been doubtful. ,
Mrs. Palmer is a handsome lady, most
striking in her appearance. For a year or
so she has been a great dual of an invalid,
but has rapidly improved of late, and will
soon be able to devote herself once more to
the social duties of which she is fond, and
the deprivation of which has been a groat
source of conoern iu many households. For
Mrs. Palmer does not consent to be a bub
terfly of fashion for its pleasures alone,
but seldom loses sight, of the good that
she oau do by means of her social connec
tions. She has, for instaneo, established
several sewing societies, in which she is a
most active worker, and which have been
of enormous benefit to the poor of her
neighborhood. Within a short time she has
moved again to New York from her beauti
ful home at Stamford, Conn. And it may be
relied upon that during the present winter
she will again undertake the works of benef
icence with which her name is so intimately
identified.
Mr. Henry E. Abbey has a wife who is
universally "known—so far as New York is
concerned,at any rate —for her sterling abili
ties as an actress, and her work at Wallack’s
Theatre is likely to be the most noticed of
any stock actress of the season. Mrs. Abbey
was formerly known as Florence Gerard,
and obtained a very enviable reputation in
England for the versatility, as well as the
worth, of all she did. She generally pre
ferred comedy peiformances, and in the lino
of the higher class of burlesque she was con
sidered unrivaled on the other side. When
Edwin Booth first went to England, how
ever, he was supported in the great parts of
the legitimate drama by the present Mrs.
Abbey, and it is that fact, perhaps, that
brought her most prominently before the
American public, so that a little while after
ward she was .engaged by Mr. John Stetson
as the leading lady of the stock company
which he formed at the Fifth Avenue The
atre, which had Charles Coghlan for its
leading man.
Mr. Stetson then found out and learned a
lesson which,"to some extent, Mr. Abbey is
learning now, and that is that the New York
public will not stand any very long siege of
old plays. If we are right, Mr. Stetson
opened his season with Bulwer’s Money,
which Mrs. Abbey, then Florence Gerard,
appeared in as “Clara Douglas”. This was
followed by The Duke’s Motto, and neither
of these pieces attracted any attention. It
was only when Florence Gerard appeared, in
conjunction with Henry E. Dixey, in a bur
lesque on Irving’s Shylock, the lady
playing a most exquisite satire of Ellen
Terry's Portia, that New York ran in
crowds to see the entertainment, and it is
one of the few burlesque performances that
will be for many years remembered. After
that Mr. Stetson got somewhat out of
patience with his stock company generally,
and Florence Gerard had to go traveling.
She met with a grievous accident in New
Haven through slipping on tho ice,
and injured her knee-cap very seriously.
It is an injury that still affects her not a
little.
About two years ago Mr. Abbey met her
in London, and not very long after the the
atrical world was surprised at their mar
riage. Mr. Abbey does not conceal the fact
that he has been a thoroughly happy man
ever since then, and that in the manage
ment of Wallack’s Theatre he has a help
meet who is of the greatest aid to him.
Mrs. Abbey is a very pretty woman, slight
of figure, stylish of dress and intensely de
voted to her profession. Her “Polly” in
Caste is so far the best performance she
has given this season, but in Diplom
acy, which is to follow For get-Me-
Not, she is likely to have a role of more
importance than any other she has attended
so far.
Mrs. Daly, the wife of Augustin Daly, is
a familiar figure at first night perform
ances, especially in the theatre which her
husband manages, where she is accustomed
to sit in the left band box with her family.
Mre. Daly is the daughter of John Dufr,
whose retirement from the management
of the Standard Theatre has recently beon
made public. She has a splendid home,
furnished most elalsirately, a few blocks
from the theatre, where she entertains
largely, and is known among the Catholics
as one of the most generous patronesses of
all the charities connected with the
church. Indeed, on this subject she is on
enthusiast.
Handsome Katie Stokes, large-eyed and
black-hailed, who recently became the wife
of John Stetson, after a coin t-ship that last
fid a couple of years, now lives principally
in Boston, which is the home of this popular
ami enterprising manager. Katie Stokes,
the maiden name of Mrs. Stetson, is the
'jaughter of old Mr. Stokes, who is now the
treasurer of the Fifth Avenuo Theatre, but
who in his timo was one of the most cele
brated men connected with the circus pro
fession. He ran many a circus of his own,
and at times made huge sums of money. He
was wise enough in the days of his prosper
ity to teach his throe daughters the tech
nique of the sawdust arena, and two of them
at least became celebrated riders, the best
known being Katie Stokes herself. She was
a daring rider, and being youug, graceful
and beautiful, attracted a larg: share of
attention, so thut her salary at the time
she retired bad become as much as $250 per
week. It was doing one of her bareback
feats that she was thrown violently from
the horse while performing in Barnum’s
circus, and severe injury was done to one
of her legs. The doctors forbade her ab
solutely from appearing any further in the
circus unless she expected to be shortly
compelled to have the injured limb am
putated. This ended her career in that
direction.
She, then, naturally tunned to the stage
for a living, and first appeared in the revi
val that Mr. Stetson made of The Corsican
Brothers at Booth’s Theatre, appearing in
pne of the small parts. Probably the most
important dramatic work she did was in
Mr. Kellar’s play that “Mantell” starred in
last season, and this led her up to the timo
of the marriage, since which she has not
appeared, and is not likely to. Those who
know Mrs. S:etson describe her as a most
kind-hearted, gentle and pleasant lady. At
any rate, she lias done much to tone down
the old-time exuberance of her husband, who
has never looked bettor than since he entered
the bonds of matrimony, a tiling he swore
he never would do, another proof of hqw
frail are the resolves of men when they moot
tig) right woman.
Mrs. Edward Harrigan is a charming
woman, who takes infinite interest and gets
“horribly” interested in the work of her hus
band. We say “horribly,” for on first nights
at Harrigan Theatre she works herself up
| in to such a condition of nervousness that
she becomes positively ill. This was her
condition of mind on’the first night of Pete,
rec utiy produced, and she watched for the
great scenic effect that closes the third act
in such a state of mind that she had to keen
her nerves down by constantly pacing up
ami down the office floor. This was while
her husband was quietly going through his
part in a satisfactory manner, and without
any apparent trouble on his mind. Mrs.
i Harrigan assists her husband quite import-
I autly 111 bis dramatic work; tiiat is to say,
[ she does the writing while he dictates, and
very often aetJ as his critic, making sugges
tions as he goes on that tell him when he is
going on the wrong track.
It is an excellent method to have such a
critic, and the experience Mi's. Harrigan has
enjoyed in this sort of work makes her quite
able for the task. In appearance she is a
slight brunette, piquant and pretty as to
face, bright in conversation and intensely
active. She and Mr. Harrigan have lei "a
model life and a hard working one, for the
demands of his business even call a husband
away from the expensive summer home
that he built a few years ago at Schroou
Lake, in the Adirondacks. Indeed, this
country home, upon which $3,500 had been
exjieuded, remained vacant through Mr.
Harrigan’s visit to California on a profes
sional mission.
Mrs. Mart Hanley is another of the pre
siding female geniuses of this establishment.
Her life has been anything but a pleasant
one of late, for it is only recently that she
came within a miracle of losing her popular
husband, who manages the business end of
the theatre. Indeed, so near was Mr. Han
ley to death that when the priest came to
perform the last sacrament of the Catholic
Church ho at first refused to anoint on the
ground that Mr. Hanley was dead, and at
the time only one doctor out of the three
present held out the idea that he was still
living. It may well be imagined that such
circumstances have contributed no little
suffering on Mi's. Hanley’s part, though the
joy of her husband's recovery must have re
compensed for it all.
Mr. Aronson, of the Casino, is still a
young bachelor. Mr. T. Henry Freuch,
of the Grand Opera House, is now a long
time a widower, as is Mr. Josh Hart, of the
Theatre Comique. Mr. Waliack and Mr.
Moss of Waliack's Theatre, are a long time
married, and the handsome family of Mrs.
Moss are generally to lie seen on first
nights at the various theatres. Gen. Bar
ton, of the Bijou, has no wife; Mre. Dixey,
of the same theatre, has recently figured
in the Harlem fracas iu which Mr. Hilliard
made such a hasty retreat, and Col. Miles
keeps his wife in retirement at Cincinnati,
where he owns too splendid a home to
make a residence in New York at all de
sirable. Mi's. Rosenquest, who is almost
Still in her honeymoon, is tne handsome
blonde wife of Manager J. W. Rosenquest,
of the Fourteenth Street Theatre. She is
also a great value to her husband in purely
a business sense, and has the casting vote on
all matters of policy in connection with the
theatre. One is seldom seen without the
other.
ABOUT GOVERNESSES.
American Mammas Do Not Treat Them
Well Nor Pay Them Well.
From Harper's Bazar.
What is to be the future of the governess
in America? She will never, as in England,
belong to a permanent class, because th re
are no permanent classes in this country,
tried by the English standard; that is, per
manence of social position in a family is
here the exception and there the rule.
Moreover, the greater prevalence of city
and town life in the well-to-do-classes and
the greater popularity of schools as com
pared with home training, give an enormous
outlet for those of our young people who
wish to teach, so that educated girls are
not obliged, as in England, to look to the
position of governess as their main re
source.
The vast increase in the number of young
women employed as clerks, bookkeepers,
typewriters, etc., depletes still further the
ranks of applicants. And yet, despite all
this, the increase of numbers and wealth
introduces more and more governesses into
families. Sometimes they are especially
needed through illness of the parent, some
times because of country life, sometimes by
reason of some peculiarity in the pupil, and
often as a mere nit of social ambition. Our
more democratic way of living makes their
position in some ways more agreeable here
than elsewhere, but also in some ways hard
er; if they are less sharply discriminated
from the family, they are also less discrimi
nated from the household servants; and, on
the whole, their status is at present rather
anomalous and ill-defined.
I knew of a governess in a New York
family who lived absolutely alone in her
rooms, except for the society of the child
ren. She had all her meals sent to her and
never entered the drawing-room unless called
for. On the other hand, she was no more
allowed to go below her position than to
step above it, and her employer once re
proved her quite severely for putting on a
child’s overshoes, saying tha' this was the
nurse’s business and she should have been
summoned to do it. There is something al
most inhuman in this castiron etiquette, but
.it must be remembered that it has its uses
like all rigid custom. If it represses the
victim it also defends her and saves her
from that jealousy on the part of cooks and
chambermaids which is the worst annoyance
of the American governess at the present
stage of the institution.
It is a curious fact that instead of rising
steadily, like the wages of the kitchen, the
compensation of the American governess
has probably been reduced withiu the last
twenty or thirty years.
LED ON BY TRASHY NOVELS.
Youthful Brigands In Cambridge.
From the New York Tribune.
Boston, Dec. 4.— The Cambridge police
have broken up a dangerous gang of young
robbers and thieves in that city who were
banded together under the name of “White
Wings Club.” The headquarters were in
the cellar of a rum shop. They numbered
about thirty, their ages ranging from 10 to
20 years. They received the incentive to
organize as midnight marauders from trashy
literature, and proved a terror to the law
abiding citizens of North Cambridge, Ar
lington, Belmont and Watertown. Under
neath the cellar, reached by a trap
door cunningly concealed, was a sort of
cave or tunnel in which the articles the
gang wished to hide were stored. Besides
this club room or headquarters, the White
Wings had places in the woods and swamps
where they stored goods they had stolen, or
where they could cook and devour anything
they had picked up in a raid. At one of the
resorts in the woods the officers found a pile
of feathers large enough to fill two good
sized bolsters, which represented probably
100 or 150 stolen chickens. In robbing a
roast or orchard tho gang worked systemat
ically, dividing their forces in order. Tile
Inst big job was the robbing of a freightcar
of about S.KtO in goods. Janies Fitzgerald,
Charles Fclieks ami Felix Dcslan are be
lieved'to be the leaders of the club and thay
have boon locked flp. These three boy* were
closely questioned by the officer*. They im
plicated eighteen other boys, ranging in age
from eleven to nineteen years. Warrants
have been issued for the entire number.
