Jean Nague The Httlc CaHfornia of charm- ing per.sonahty and l>eauty is tal- ented to a degree, and in soubrette parts that require da.sh and person- ahty she is excellent. Miss iiague can do .song and dance specialities and play parts. Her abilities will bring her to the front rapidly. I'm BritishTbut I'm Good Yankee \E\V YORK, March 16.— Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson, English actor, who recently announced his re- tirement from the stage, and Lady I-'orbes-Robertson, who before her marriage was Gertrude Elliott, were tendered a farewell dinner last night by the New York Press Club. "I shall never hear a word against the institutions of this great country," Sir Johnston said in replying to the greet- ings of J. 1. C. Clarke, the toastmas- ter, "and my wife will never hear a word against the institutions of Eng- land. I have come to that state after so many years of hand-clasps with America that I am as jealous almost as any .American of the honor of the country." IJehind the .speaker the flags of the two nations were cros.sed. and raising his hand toward them in dramatic gesture, he .said: "God for- bid they sliould ever be separated by the stormy gusts of passion. In my heart of hearts I believe they will re- main entwined now and forever." Louise Hamilton Marries Local Rich Man Coming on the iiecls of the an- nouncement not more than three weeks ago that Lmiise Hamilton, late of tlie Andrew Mack C()mi)any at the Alcazar Theatre, and more lately in .Milestones at the Columbia, had be- come afifianced to I'ercival \\ . Selljy, the wealthy Burlingame clubman an 1 bon vivant. was word received here the other day that the two were mar- ried la.st Monday at ()gden, Utah. They are at i)resent in Salt Lake City. Mrs. Selby, who at first postponed her consent to marriage becau.se of her ambition for a stage career, will con- tinue on the Eastern tour of the Mile- stones company. This will la.st aI)out 20 weeks. .Afterward she will re- turn to the Pacific Coast. She may or may not continue her theatrical ca- reer. Selby, who is ])resident of the California (iolf .\ssociation, will re- turn to San ]-"rancisco about the mid- dle of .A])ril. Selby first met his bride when she came here with the .Andrew Mack company. The marriage was kept a close secret, friends having be- lieved it was to be postponed until the summer season. Edith Newlin iCdilh .Wwlin. leading woman and i:)rima donna, with a large experience in both the dramatic and musical fields, has just returned from her en- gagement in Honolulu with the .Spaulding Company, where she was a favorite. Miss Newlin is both good looking and talented, and has to her credit several exceptional successes. In the East for a coujile of seasons she played the lead in Graustak, and was leading woman at one of the Salt Lake theatres for Thurston Hall. .More recently on the Coast she played leads for the English-.American Stock Company. In such parts as Anna Jef- fries, in The Third Degree, Mrs. W hi])ple in The W itching Hour, and I liida in The Wolf, her work has been pronounced first class. Congress Asked to Authorize Commission to License Film W A S111X () .\, M arch 18.—A l'"ederal Motion Picture Commission- er, under the jurisdiction of the Cnited States Bureau of Education, was proposed in a bill today by Sen- ator Hoke Smith.
