Marion Marlowe in St. Paul, or, The Company's Mascot in a Double Deal

1901 · 38 pages

This issue of a Street & Smith weekly story paper (No. 21, February 16, 1901) features "Marion Marlowe in St. Paul; or, The Company's Mascot in a Double Deal" by Grace Shirley. The story opens in St. Paul where two worldly men, Archibald Tupham and Dan Hobart, observe a poster advertising Marion Marlowe, described as the prettiest actress on stage and star of the Temple Theatrical Company, arriving at the Olympia Theatre. The men make a wager—a fifty-dollar bet that each will seduce the actress within three nights, using a newsboy named "Jackets" as stakeholder. Hobart reveals that Jackets is the illegitimate son of an actress and a wealthy man. The narrative then shifts to the theater company's arrival at the railroad depot, where Bert Jackson, the company's comedian, begins interacting with the newsboy. The publication also contains patent-medicine advertisements for Dr. T.A. Slocum's remedies for consumption and respiratory ailments.
