J. P. STILES, Judge of Probate. *-22-3t-wed WOMAN... and SOCIETY HY ANNIE KENDRICK WALKER. The announcement that Eugenie Blair and her husband, Robert Downing, the tra gedian, are to figure In a divorce suit will be received with regret, for both Mr. and Mrs. Downing have so long been great fa vorites in Southern society that they have numberless warm personal friends in many cities iik the South. During their profes sional engagements they have been charmingly entertained at both public and private functions, and Mrs. Downing, by her charm and graciousness, has been equally admired off the stage as she has been In the various roles that she essays. The statement that the coolness which has long existed between Mr. and Mrs. Downing is to culminate in a divorce comes from New York. The latter is at Hampton, Va., and does not either con firm nor deny the story. Her manager, however, practically confirms the rumor, and gives as the reason for which the di vorce will be brought Is professional jeal ousy. Miss Blair was Mr. Downing s lead ing lady before their marriage, and re mained in that capacity for several sea sons thereafter. The trouble, it is claimed, culminated when the play of “Sampson" was produced, and which gave Miss Blair charming opportunities in the role of De lilah. It was the old story, and since then Miss Blair and Mr. Downing have drifted apart. Birmingham playgoers will recall that on the occasion of Mr. Downing presenting “Sampson" here that there was not even pretty Eugenie Blair to rob it of its ter rors; while during that season Miss Blair, as Camille, cajoled her Arraand in the per son of a far more romantic looking lead ing man than Mr. Downing would have been. Subsequently she appeared In “The Lady of Quality.” Sitting at tea with her late one afternoon in her private apartments at the Morris two years ago i ventured to speak oi Mr. Downing, and I recall that she said in her rich, coruial voice that she and Mr. Down ing were separated “artistically,' but that sne hoped it would not be very long be lore they would be together again. Mr. Downing hud thought it wise lor her to continue her starring tour, and his judg ment had proven correct. Her mother had tea with us that winter afternoon, anu the two women made a charming picture oi domesticity. me former was an actress, and wus a member that season of her daughter's company. She was such a charming old lady, and chatted of the stage and its fas cination with the enthusiasm of a girl, anu with the sentiment that older persons al ways recall days that are gone. And while the elder woman spoke oi the past, the younger talked of the future and of the present, in speaking of her favorite roles, iJai theniu, in Tngoiuar," she declared was the one to w'hich she was most attached. Miss Blair is a South Carolinian. Her home has been since her marriage at Be li nings, just out from Washington, D. C\, and there she and Mr. Downing have spent many summers very happily, alter nating with jaunts to the White Mount ains and to the coast. Their beautitul oiu home is known as "iSdgemooiV’ and Mrs. Downing referred to her life there as being most ideal. They entertained a great deai and those of their friends who haw been guests at Kdgemoor declare that ti« be entertained there is the very acme oi bliss. Mrs. Downing is personally an ex tremely attractive woman, whose charm lies not so much in beauty, but rather in a vivid personality. The sweet warmth oi her moods are as individual as her way ot speaking and she has the loveliest mouth with deeply carved lips. Her hair grows in great quantities from a graceful foreheau and 1 shall never forget how long anu curved her eyelashes were and how brown and luminous were her eyes. She wears charming gowns and it has frequently been said that she is one of the most perfectly gowned women of the stage. The cause of the disagreement recalls the divorce granted Robert Tabor and Ju- I lia Marlowe Tabor, the coolness that ex isted for years between them being the result of professional jealousy on the part of the former, which finally culminated in a divorce. Professional jealousy among actors was discussed some time ago in these columus, and the statement was made that managers seldom employed in the same company a man and woman who were married owing to artistic reasons. The discussion brought forth some inside information from a Birmingham man who has hundreds of friends among theatrical people and his views will be paraicularly apropos in view of the gossip concerning the Downings. “The sentimental side of your informa tion regarding the reason why the husband and wife are not employed in the same company makes good reading, but is not berne out by facts. The business side of the proposition reveals that very few managers will employ husband and wife in the same company for various business reasons, and not for ’art’s* sake. “As a rule,’’ he continued, “the theatrical profession, men and women, the latter es pecially are extremely jealous, and the fact that the individual success depends alto gether on the plaudits of the amusement public, has a great tendency to aggravate the tailing rather than subdue it. Take for example a man and woman in the same company. The woman makes a ‘hit,’ as it is termed. Other members of the company make little ox it; possibly one, a sister ac tress, who is a favorite with the stage manager or manager of the company brmgs about a quarrel in consequence of her unkind criticism, the woman criticised resigns, gives in her two weeks notice; her act causes her husband to hand in his twro weeks notice also; hence, the manager loses two members of his company instead ox one, ami many times this occurs so far irom his base ox operations that it cripples his company and causes a great loss of money. This is but one of hundreds of purely business reasons why managers do not want to employ husband and wife in the same company. It sometimes happens that a man and wife will not "work’’ sepa rately and if valuable some managers will submit to Imposition rather than lose them, and when you find a case like this, you will find two persons who are constantly making it disagreeable for the balance of the company, in fact, I have known cases where this condition has caused companies to disband.” Pollock->tephens Institute.

Mrs. Edmond Taylor Taliaferro has re cently returned from Virginia. She has enrolled a large number of pupils, and the prospect for the winter is most encourag ing. Indeed the great success of the Pol lock-Stephens Is a subject upon which Mrs. Taliaferro Is repeatedly congratulated. iss SaiK'o Milliken’s Departure for New York Miss Sandol Milliken, who has been the guest of Mrs. Solon Jacobs for several weeks, left Tuesday for New York. She j will there begin rehearsals for the new play in which she will be seen this season. Miss Milliken, who was Mr. Crane’s leading lady last season, and won great distinction, will act in the same capacity to Mr. Maclyn Ar -buckle, a new star from London, and who by the way Is under the management of Mr. Joseph Brook, who also directs Mr. Crane’s fortunes, and who managed Fanny Davenport’s tours. Mr. Arbuckle and Miss Milliken will be seen In ‘‘The Gentleman from Texas," a play w’ritten by Augustus Thomas. Miss Milliken will have a role that suits her admirably, and if she wields the sway over her audiences this winter that she did in society here, she will sweep every thing before her. A former Washington man who knew Miss Milliken’s family dur ing their residence at tihe national capital, although Miss Milliken was then barely out of school, referred yesterday to her youth ful beauty and charm, and to the notable fact of the distinction she had won in so brief a time upon the American stage. She has several charming sisters, and her fam ily represent all that is best in the social life of the south. An older sister was at Madame Cary’s school in Baltimore at the time that several Birmingham girls made the famous Mrs. Carey’s particularly at tractive for a series of winters. In Society. Private letters from Mrs. J. B. Raulston, who is spending the summer In Chicago, state that she wdll return to Birmingham in October and will reopen her art studio. She has been quite busy all the summer, for artists, as a class, rarely enjoy a va cation. In the studio in Chicago she is doing a number of beautiful china pieces that will be exhibited here in the autumn. Mrs. Raulston is director of the art de partment of the Woman’s Club, and this Insures a series of exhibits during the winter, while it is hoped that she will re sume her “Wednesdays” at her studio, since last season these studio teas were among the most popular events of the win ter. • • • Mr. Rittenhouse Smith of Mobile Is the guest of his mother.
