"No, no," said we. "We saw Mrs, Washburn on the Orpheum circuit and her hair was brown. That woman is not Mrs. Washburn. Some hussy is trying to break up a home. Besides, husbands don't smile into a lady's eyes that way when she is merely a wife." So we called the head-waiter. "Oh, that is Mrs. Washburn. Mais out, of a certainty. She is playing in a picture, which is ze why of the blonde weeg, madame." We left that place, sadly pondering the advisability of moving to Zion City, where there is some real dissipation. Ws Nuptial Notes hen Jack Daugherty became Mr. Barbara La Marr Number Five, a tactless congratulator of the couple gushed to Barbara, "Many happy returns of the day !" * * * Which reminds us that Barbara and Mr. Daugherty were members of a box party that helped to make Margaret Anglin feel welcome when she presented her magnificent play, The Woman of Bronze, at the Mason Opera House. That famous second act proved too much for Barbara. She retired to the dressing room to repair damages to her complexion, for tears had mussed up the mascaro considerably. And Barbara, fast becoming the most famous charmer on the screen, remarked feelingly, "I would love to say to Margaret Anglin that Barbara La Marr would give ten years of her life to be able to give to the screen what Margaret Anglin gives to the stage in that second act." An obliging friend of Barbara's who had an invitation to see Miss Anglin after the second act took the message to America's greatest emotional actress. Miss Anglin did not shrug and say, "Who is Barbara La Marr?" But she did say, "Tell her she can't take my voice away from me ! That is all the screen has left us — our voices ! They can't take that away from us !" Howard Hull, Margaret Anglin's husband and manager — stage manager, we mean — loves to "kid" his stately wife. He remarked to the Tatler : "Margaret had an offer of eight thousand a week from Douglas Fairbanks today !" Then after the ripple of applause had died down he continued, patting his wife on the shoulder and winking at his amused audience, "Doug offered her that sum to stay off the screen. He's afraid she'll put a crimp in Mary Pickford's business."
