LOVE ROCKS THE CRADLE. BUT IT WRECKS THEATRICAL -SHOWS..

MR. BANDMAN'S FAMENT.'

When the important colonizers of the world line up for the roll-call in thei Great Beyond, Maurice E., Banülizar is going to stupil somewhere betwren Robert Owen and Captain Joba. Smith. If Cal- cutta were really appreciative of its bene- factors, says a contemporary, it would have a statue of Mr. Bandmas erected in its most conspicuous public square, along with other gentlemen in marble Prince Alberts and gerent top hats.

For Mr. Bandman is the greatest little bride-bringer that has ever favoured the Far East. Since 1800, when he took his first musical, comedy company to India, he has imported a fruit crop of nearly a hundred per cent. peaches that on the average has lasted only about long enough for the basket to be passed around. Dar. ing the past twenty years, girls number. ing a thousand or so have come to the Far East in Bandman companies, and have married off almost as fast as they stepped from the gang-plank.

-Each company loss twenty percent. of its girl personnel on every tour, not counting those who wear their solitaires home to put it over Gertie who used to live next door and who was so conceited because the clerk in the pickle foundry used to take her to the bathing-beach on Sundays. ป

Mr. Bandman told us all this himself, and added that the girls often. wed arny colonels, men in high government posi tions and extremely wealthy business

Do any of them marry taillionaires?" we inquired. gotting excited..

Sone of them," said Mr Bandmaa. One of ur girls marriet a Dutchman who assail about eighteen millions. Yes, some of them to fairly well for working-giris"

Mr. Baudman added that is. Caleatis there is a whole colony of Bandman brides planted there during the past twenty years, and that some of them were putting high society through the hoops. Most of the marriages take place in talentta. he said, though there have been! desertions in Hongkong and Shanghai,

"We surmised that anything as good as this must he well-advertised by this time.

Whenever we make up a company of thirty, we have about thousand appli- cans to choose from," Mr. Bandman anid. My American assistant in Lon- don sorts them out through the year. gliminates the pigron-toed and others of the unit and then leaves the final choice to me. Besides the singing and dancing testx. I have a long personal interview with each one to observe her manners, We have to abserve her manners. We pick. girls for three things voice, looks, and gendility, the greatest of these is gentility. The other two are also necessary, but we wouldn't take" Venus de Mijo herself if she chewed gum and hashed her gram- mar.”

Here, undoubtedly. is the secret of the long matrimonial casualty list that has. figured so prominently in Bandman pro- ductions. No matter how high girl can raise her ton, she is not accepted if she drops herh's "; and no matter how perfect the team-work of her features. she can't mark her trunks with a "B? unices there is similar co-operation among her parts of speech. This is why the colonels. millionaires, and such do not if the hesitate to propose matrimony; girls were merely pretty, they'd probably get lots of proposals, but there wouldn't bour plain gold bands mixed up in

them.

The more ladylike a girl is, the more attractive the Far East seems to find her," Mr. Badman said. "Social success in fhe Orient is rated as extremely impor- tant. Our girls have very good times on the tours, but the introductions are nearly always properly conventional."

Being Father Confessor to crowd of such lively novices is no easy, job, Mr. Bandman admitted. We asked him if be objected to the weddings, "There is a clause in, the contracs which says that if the signer marries during the tour she must pay a heavy fine." the producer said.
