VOTE TALK; RUDE
COP; PATROL BUS
Magistrate Koenig Much Trou-
bled by Etiquette and
Law of Case.

Inability to believe that a policeman
could be so rude as to arrest a suf-
fragist gave Miss Helen Schloss, or
ganizer for the Women's Political
Union, an enforced ride in q patrol
wagon Thursday night on a charge for
which she will have to answer in the
Harlem police court Tuesday morning
The summons demanded her appear
ance yesterday, but when the case was
called Magistrate Koenig couldn't de-
eide whether what she had done was
really a crime or not, so he adjourned
il in order to look up sorle decisions.
Miss Schloss mounted the soapbox
Thursday at 8 p. m. and made sut-
frage speech. This was at Ninety-ninth
Street and Fifth Avenue. When the
meeting was in full swing she mo-
toned one of her helpers to take her
place and started TO give out literature
Giving il out is not the right term,
she saws, because to keep within the
law she merely holds the literature and
let's the public help itself. But Patrol.
man Scott walked up to her and told
her she was breaking an ordinance. :,
Miss Schloss pleaded that she had
consulted the captain at the police sta
ton of that district, and he had told
her she could give out literature every
night. She had done so, and the police
had never objected.
"I'll arrest you if you keep on" said
Patrolman Scott. Miss Schloss, hav-
ing been on the most amiable terms
with the police always, kept on feeding
suffrage pamphlets to the crowd. It
was about five minutes later that the
patrol wagon came and swallowed Miss
Schloss up.
Mrs. Helen Hoy Greeley was engaged
by the Women's Political Union to de-
fend the case. Miss Schloss is conf
dent that she will establish the right
of suffragists to hold out literature for

MANY PLAYS REST
ON ARM OF LAW
Authors Just Can't Seem
to Keep Their Dramas
Out of Court.
Ry HEYMOOD RROUN.

Radicals who attack the courts and
all vested forms of law and order do
more than strike at our political in
stitutions. They threaten the Ameri-
can drama.
A few authors manage to keep their
plots out of court, but not one in ten
can arrange play without calling
upon the police or at least a private
detective agency.
Just now the children's court is the
cog of judicial machinery upon which
up date dramatists hang, or per-
haps build would sound less ominous,
their plays. Fred Ballard in Young
America" was the first to put juve-
nile court upon the stage. but we un-
derstand that "Billy Jr," which is to
be produced at the Comedy Theatre
on Monday, also deals with the prob
lem Of youthful delinquency.
This promises well
Ballard develops his juvenile court
almost entirely from humorous aspect,
but whatever treatment OF the suoJect
matter Is adopted in the new play, the
thing is fresh and has untried dramatic
possibilities.
If we must go to court it is pleasant
to watch the issue Of case in which
something less than murder Is at stake
We hope that Mondays court Will be
one in which emotional actresses are
barred. We never saw an actress take
the stand in a play that the opposing
lawyer did not cross-examine her until
she broke down. 1t always seemed TO
US unfair.
In looking over the list Of plays now
VII tbo q made
that eight employ police, detectives,
postofice inspectors or lawyers. young
America" and Common Clay are the
ones which get to court. "The House
of Glass" has both police and de-
tectives, as has "No. 33 Washington
Square" and Rolling Stones" Just
Outside the Door" is limited to lone
detective. and "See Ny Lawyer" deals
with postal violations. Our memory of
Julian Eltinge in Cousin Lucy" is
hay. but unless we are much mistaken
the police were after him, too. The
pen may be mightier than the sword,
but it can't get along without the
nightstick.
If a girl gets kissed in the first act
of drama, she is ruined. If she IS
kissed in the last act, she gets married.
American dramatists may follow the
rules Of Aristotle, but they show the
utmost contempt for the Sullivan law.
"Matty knocked a home run, dear"
shouts the husband in the first act OF
Young America" Something happens
Just then, and he is forced to drop
his paper. If he had time to go on
to the end of the paragraph, he would
have read: "0ld Master Mathewson
knocked a home run to deep left CEN
tire in the seventh inning. He was out
trying to reach second" Runyon, Mer-
Ger and the rest can't fool US.
To those who like music THE Blue
Paradise" at the Casino Theatre may
be recommended unqualifedly, and no
one is likely to be annoyed by the
fact that Miss Cleo Mayfeld in the
same piece contributes one of the
most clean-cut bits of comedy acting
seen this season.
For our part we haven't an idea in
which direction the stage is moving,
but we are continually amazed, per-
turbed, and befuddled by the ever in
creasing beauty of the girl ushers in
this city.
