PORTRAIT Law UPHELD
In Case Of an Actress, a Minor, Whose
Picture Dry Goods Firm Used.

In Ease OF an sNctrtsS, u
Picture Dry Goods Firm Used.
The law passed in 1909 prohibiting any
person from publishing, distributing or
otherwise making commercial use OF an
other persons portrait without the written
consent of the subject of the portrait was
upheld as constitutional yesterday by the
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court.
Helen Wyatt. an actress, who is still under
the legal age. brought suit against several
dry goods firms in the city for exhibiting
her photograph in advertising a certain
costume. She sued through her mother,
Minnie Wyatt. as legal guardian, and asked
for an injunction to restrain the further
use Of her portrait, as well as damages for
the publidity she had attained.
The dry goods people pleaded that she
had laid herself open to the scattering OF
her portraits by posing professionally for
a photographer. who openly made reduced
rates for actresses models and such who
would pose and allow him to sell the pic
lures. The dry goods firms argued that
as they had got their pictures from this
particular photographer Miss Wyatt was
estopped from questioning the use made by
the photographer Of her pictures.
Justice Ingraham, writing the Appellate
Divisions unanimous opinion, holds that
the law Of 1903 Is constitutional in 30 far
as it prevents any one from making indis-
criminate use OF another persons portxsit
without the written authority Of the person
portrayed. The same rule must apply
with even more force. Justice Ingraham
says. to minor and he upholds the CLAUSE
which makes 1t necessary for the photog-
rapher to obtain the written consent Of q
minors parent or guardian before he can
use the portrait Justice Ingraham, for
the Court. sustains the demurrer to this
defence and Directs the dry goods firms to
amend their answers unless they wish the
suit TO be judgment to be granted against
them.
Miss Wyatt Is suing each firm for 5000
damages.

south of Canal street. Traffic Precinct
B, with about $50 men. will regulate traffic
up to Twenty third street and will be COM

Altogether we are as near to affairs as We would be on our own farms in the States.
