NEW YORK, June 19.-The manage ment OF
sCastles in the Air. stole march at the
Broadway theatre, with the aid of a photo
graphic tiend and flash llght,C on MISS
Marion Manola, the prima donna Who had
refused 10 be photographed IN her lavender
tiphta. As a result Miss Manola ls very
mad. and asserts her intention to leave the
company.
From the beginning of the second act. in
which Miss Nanola appears, it was apparent
that she was very much worried about
something. There was fascination for her
in balcony box H, and l could see that she
vas furtively watching man with
camera, who was only partially concealed
behind its curtains.
II was thought the critical moment had
arrived 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. Cabalastro replied. Don't do it;
you'll have to be photographed IN tights.
1t was new gag, based upon the present
trouble.
The audience roared, but Miss Manola
didn't seem to enjoy it. But she sang the
cricket song clear through and left the
stage, The people in front, many of whom
had heard that a flash light would be used,
were on Gu6 GlptOc VI ApCUdAASys uAAA oACJ
soon got the sensation they craved, but con-
demned
Miss Manola came on again in the latter
part of the second act on the opposite side
Of the stage to the half concealed photo gra-
pher. Mr.. De Wolf Hopper, the judge, as
she entered, says there is something famll,
lar about her face. He had hardly uttered
these words when there was flash from
the balcony box, and big puff of smoke
rolled up to the lofty ceiling of the theatre.
Many people Kissed in concert. None
cheered. As for Miss Manola she fed from
the stage at the first glimpse she caught of
the fash. It was several minutes before
she returned and she looked anything but
pleased.
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:
ooh, but that was mean trick. l had
heard they were going to do it, and ! saw
the photographer with his apparatus in the
box when / went in tonight, but l thought
could foil him. l thought he would at.
tempt to take me while was singing the
cricket song, and l kept my cloak about my
limbs as much as possible and much more
than had ever done before
''As soon as / saw the man strike mattel
and apply it threw my cloak up and IL
front of me and then ran off the stage. Arr
you sure he got my picture?' (this last with
q comic gesture of despair.)
assured Miss Manola that had seen tn
negative, lavender tights and all, and theI
in answer to some pointed questions which
asked her she further said
81 will apply for an injunction to restrain
the management from reproducing tn
picture. Failing in that I shall leay
Mr.. Hopper's company. They will nc
be able to restrain me from singing i
another company, even though they have
contract with me, after such shameful treat
ment as that
