Weary and despairing, she at last called at a theater where a Shakespearean star was rehearsing. The doorkeeper rudely rebuffed her, but fortunately the star's attention was attracted, and he went up and talked to her. The actor was a good-hearted chap, and his sympathy was aroused. He "tried her out," and as she made good, a regular position was given her. She did not become his leading lady, because she did not have the ability. As an actress she was just ordinary, but she was sweet and pretty and won the heart of a most presentable young millionaire, who was extremely happy when she consented to become his bride. Some years later, on her return from a long trip abroad, the former actress was shocked to learn that the star was in financial difficulties. The public no longer cared for Shakespeare. The woman called on her one-time employer and found him starving in a garret, although he tried to conceal the facts from her, she was not deceived. Knowing him well she realized he would not accept charity, but something had to be done, and she vigorously told her husband so. The husband had plenty of money and was willing to help his wife. They sent for a theatrical manager and asked him to send the star out in Shakespearean productions. He was willing when they agreed to meet the deficit. An open air performance of "Twelfth Night" was arranged to be given on the grounds of a country club. The one-time star appeared as Malvolio, made a great hit, and happily signed a contract. He never knew to whom he owed his fortune. Actor-like, he honestly believed that his merit had finally been discovered. Arm in arm with his new manager, the shabby little man strutted off, explaining just what should be done and how. Husband and wife watched them. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
