Special Foreign Service.
LONDON, Feb. 20.-When Marie
Studholme, the actress, filed a claim
for damages against Edward Foley, a
London dentist, not long ago because
he mutilated the accompanying photo
graph of her in an advertisement, no
doubt she thought she was protecting
her good looks and reputation most
efficiently. but within a short time
there will be a sequel to the affair
which may cause the comedy young
woman to regret rubbing I'M her re-
taliation.
The matter first came to public no.
tice through this statement which ap-
peared in several London newspapers
a few days ago:
II, Edward Foley, of rs Westbourne-
grove. in the county of London, man
aging director of Foley's (imited), do
hereby humbly and sincerely apologize
to Miss Marie Studholme for having
wrongfully and without her authority
used her portrait for advertising pur-
poses in a manner calculated to in.
duce persons to enormously believe
that certain of her front teeth are
AAA4OoAA5 OAA0 nave ~OCCn LCpldCCQ ny
false ones, and / admit that the ad-
yertisement so issued by me Is libelous
andzI authorize the said Marie Stud
holme to insert this apology at my ex-
penSe, In such public newspaper or
newspapers as she may select"
1t seems that Mr.. Foley, like many
other London dentists, advertises his
work by means of illustrated booklets,
and other reading matter. Some of
the booklets contain photographs, cal
cu1ated to emphasize the Importance
of beautiful teeth, a picture Of
charming woman with perfect set
being placed beside one with irregular
or incomplete dentition.
Among many other photographs in
shop window, Mr.. Foley says he no
ticed that of Miss Studholme and on ac-
count of her beautiful teeth bought a
copy. This he took to a photographer,
who made two copies. On one copy the
artist blocked out one or two of Miss
Studholme's teeth, and two half tones
were made, one to be labeled good
teeth" the other bad teeth" Half a
million booklets were printed contain
Ing the moral Of employing compe-
tent dentist, and It was one of these
which brought Miss Studholmes solicit
tors down upon the unfortunate man.
Although Mr.. Foley says he offered
the actress private apology or money
compensation without public apology,
she was evidently determined to get
the last drop of satisfaction. Accord
Ing to English law the case was q
clear one, and rather than let it come
to trial the dentist put up $3.50 dam
ages besides the costs which In this
country are never sneezed at. The
half million booklets cost Mr.. Foley
something like $425 to print, SO he has
put down clean thousand to "proft
and loss"
Now comes the subtle revenge. Mr..
Foley at present is having made an
other half million booklets containing
half tones of the same sort that got
him into trouble using, of course. an
other photograph. Following the IL
Illustrations will be a complete account
of his troubles with the actress as
published in the London dailies with a
few comments Of his own to heighten
the general effect, and he believes that
before the first lot is distributed, Miss
Studholme will be anxious to make
some arrangement for the withdrawal
from a second edition of the booklets.
