A Life on the Stage Fay Templeton Story in Gotham
A front page portrait of Fay Templeton's meteoric rise in New York theatre life. From barnstorming beginnings to a Broadway engagement under Edward Rice, she wins acclaim then departs, leaving a stream of bouquets and speculation about a rich suitor and a Chicago divorce. Wall Street disruptions center on Jay Gould and Russell Sage as Sage is praised for frugality and strength. Also notes Dixey and his dog Prince, Astor's new book, and brief theatre gossip on Gilbert Sullivan and Booth.
