f!ed counter suit to a suit for sepa-
ration brought by his wife. Clara Lieb-

respondents, today intimated that he
intends to withdraw his claim for di-

The Liebmanns were married In 1897
and have three children In an affidavit
filed by Mrs. Lehman she says she
has not lived with her husband for ten
wears on account Of his extreme cruelty.
She alleges that on one occasion when
she was abroad. with her husband he
threatened to shoot her and himself.
He admits that he made such threat
but alleges that It was due to despera-
ton caused by discovering that his wife
had been unfathful.
Mrs. Lehman alleges that after the
birth of their first son. In 1895, her
husband showed her the door and said
he was through with her because he
had a son and heir.

OF GERMANY IN PIC
TURE PLAY

In the portrayal of Karl in the
film adaptation of "Old Heidelberg"
are views of the present reigning En-
peror of Germany When the original
play was first produced in Germany,
the author expressed his fears of same
continuing after the first performance,
he thinking that the Emperor would
recognize himself being mimicked, and
order the play stopped. But, much to
his surprise, the Emperor took the
matter good naturally, and the play
was a huge financial success
The market scenes in "Old Heidel-
berg" are based on an actual occur
renee that took place in the year of
1860 in front of the palace of Adolph
Won Nassau, in Weisbaden, when the
Germans clamored for free election,
which resulted in all small German
principalities uniting in case of war.
The part of the Emperor in the film
version of "Old Heidelberg" is played
by Wallace Reid. who is the leading
support Of Dorothy Gish, the Griffith
star player. who appears in the de-
lightful character of Katie
