This is an interesting cutting because Miss Price was the wife of Parke Hunter and little is known of her, I presumed that she would be a theatrical but this is the first time that I have seen her mentioned in the press. Hunter returned to America in 1903 and seems to have abandoned her, she died, in London in 1910.

That is very interesting Richard. I am curious, where did you find the information regarding Zillah Price being the wife of Parke Hunter? I wonder why she is still billed as Miss?

I don't know the answer, but "Miss Zillah" has a charm to it that "Mrs. Parke Hunter" cannot hope to match.  The latter suggests the spouse of poacher who shootes rabbittes and pheasantes in the parke at nighte.
