Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE manage
ment of "Castles in the Air'' stole q
march last night at the Broadway thea
ter, with the aid of Photographic fiend
and a flash light, on Miss Marion
Manola, prima dons, who had refused to
be photographed in her lavender
tights. As result Miss Manola
is very mad, and asserts her intention to
leave the company. From the beginning
of the second act, in which Miss Manola
appears, it was apparent that she was
very much worried about something
There was fascination for her in balcony
box FL, and one could see that she was
furtively watching man with a
camera who was only partially concealed
behind its curtains. 1t was thought the
critical moment had arrived. when just
before the cricket song, Miss Manola, in
her part, tells Cabalastro that she can
sing and has had an offer to go on the
stage. CabalastTo replied: 'Don't do
1T; you III have to be photographed
in tights 1t was new gag, based
upon the present trouble. The audience
reared, but Miss Manola didn't seem to
enjoy it, but she sang tbs cricket song
clear through and left the stage. The
people in front, many of whom had
heard that flash light would be used,
were on tlptoe of expectancy, and
they soon got the sensation they craved,
but condemned. Miss Manola came on
again in the latter part of the second act
on the opposite side of the stage to the
half concealed photographer. Mr.. De-
wolf Hopper, the dude, as he en-
tered, said, fThere Is something
familiar about her face He had
hardly uttered these words when there
was flash from the balcony box and q
big puff of smoke rolled up to the lofty
ceiling of the theater. Many people
Kissed in concert. None cheered. AS for
Miss Manola, she fed from the stage at
the first glimpse she caught of the flash.
1t was several minutes before she returned
and she looked anything but pleasant.
Your reporter saw Miss Manola in her
dressing room Immediately after the
curtain was rung down on the second
act She was mad, and emphasized
what she said by stamping her foot
Miss Manola said: "Oh, but that was
mean trick. 1 had heard they were going
to do it, and 1 saw the photographer
with his apparatus in the box when
went in tonight, but thought could
foil him. l thought he would attempt to
take me while was singing the cricket
song, and 1 kept my cloak about my
limbs as much as possible, and much
more than 1 had ever done before. As
soon as 1 saw the man strike match and
apply it l threw my cloak up and
in front of me, and then ran off the
stage. Are you sure he got my pic
ture?' (This last with comic GESTURE
of despair).
Your reporter assured Miss Manola
that he had seen the negative, lavender
tights and all, and then in answer to
some pointed questions which was asked
her she further said:
''I will apply for an injunction to re-
strain the management from reproducing
the picture. Failing in that shall
leave MIR. Hopper's company. They
will not be able to restrain me from
singing in another company even though
they have contract with me, after such
shameful treatment asthat.
