the peculiar wording of a contract be-
tween Richard Mansfield, the actor, and
Louis Kronberg, the artist, Judge Dew
ey in the municipal court here decided

Mr. Mansfield testified that he was
satisfied with the paintings of himself
in the characters of Cyrano de Bergerac
and as Baron Chevrial. and he paid the
$500 each for them. He was also ready

altho he did not like it, but he drew the
line on Richard III.
The actor will pay 5000 more and take
shylock, and Kronberg says he will sell
Richard III. at cut rates.
