PHOTOGRAPHERS WOES
Adventures of E. M. Newman
in Russia and Germany.

The experience of Z. NJ. Newman, the
traveller and lecturer, in Berlin after
war had been declared last summer,
was not the first time this intrepid
seeker after unusual pictures had come
into conflict with military authorities
as result of using a camera in for
hidden places during wartime. The
previous instance occurred in Port Ar
thur some years ago, shortly after the
opening Of hostilities between Russia
and Japan. II happened that Mr.. New
man was making a tour OF the world,
and the ship on which he was q pas
senger entered the Russian port after
many days at sea. This was before the
time when all passenger vessels were
eanipped with wireless apparatus, so
that none on board knew of the turn
affairs had taken in the Russo-Jap con-
troversy.
AS is customary with the eIpectant
traveller, Mr.. Newman stood in the bow
of the boat and exposed several plates
as he entered the harbor. He also took
some pictures of the unusual military
activities on the piers. No sooner had
I he stepped ashore, however, than an
under-offcer placed hand on his Shout
der and told him he was under arrest.

"SHAKING EXERCISES"
Marie Dressler Practises Mus
Gle Rolling Stunts Daily.

Promptly at o'clock every morning
a hefty bit of femininity, with glisten-
ing dark hair and sparkling blue eyes,
dons a Golder's green lounging robe,
pushes her feet into a pair OF soft
buckskin beaded slippers, and, stepping
to the middle of her boudoir, on the
eighth floor of the Hotel Aston, Broad.

strenuous physical exercise.
This parsonage of excess avoirdupois
is Marie Dressler, the ever mirthful
Marie, who joyously cavorts about in
her latest starring vehicle, "A Mix-Up,"
st the Thirty-ninth Street Theatre.
Miss Dressler does not perform these
daily setting-up exerticns with the in
tent;on of reducing her weight. Far
be it from SUCH" she AYERS, emphati-
cally. 1t is nothing more or less than
her morning shake" her oscillating
gh-producer, her third-act climax

For at every performance Of "A Mix
Up" Miss Drcssler executes version
of muscular movement which would
make a Bagdad favorite turn turtle
green with envy. IL all happens towards
the finale of the third act. Sam Land
man, burly prizefghter John r.
Dougherty in the part, angrily discov-
ers his wife, Gladys, in the wrong
apartment with another gentleman.
Said Landman has been searching high
and low for his beloved spouse, and
the spouse in question has been hiding
low and high from her beloved hubby.
Marie Dressler, in the role Of Gladys,
ably and excitedly shows how sus-
pected WHEY acts under such circum-
stances.
She shakes and trembles like a fut-
tering leaf swayed by an autumn
zephyr and like the tapping sail of a
3O-fcot yacht skipping along in an

fervor and pliancy Of Turkish mas

lie was then taken before q pompous-
looking official Of much authority, but
this worthy would listen 10 no explsna-
ton, and gave no consideration to the
fact that on the high seas there had
been no way OF learning that war was
on. Mr.. Newmsn's indignant protest
that he was an American citizen wss
OF no avail. He had taken pictures
within the harbor-he might be a spy
he must be treated accordingly. Thus
nc was remanded TO prison. with the
statement that his case would have
future consideration, And there, az
has not seldom occurred in Russia, he
might still be lsnguishing were u not
for the interference Of the American
consul, who arranged that he might re-
main In his room at the hotel under
guard, overnight, and that the case be
disposed of the next day.
OF course, he was set at liberty, but
his camera and plates were confiscated.
The experience was q trying one while
il lasted.
Last summers experience was almost
parallel TO this one. About July 10, Mr..
Newman arrived IN Berlin and after
obtaining official permission proceeded
10 take some photographs Of the Kai-
ser's capital for use in this seasons
traveltalks. After the beginning OF
the Servian Austrian difficulties he was
advised by Ambassador Gerard that
things looked serious. But the oppor-
tunity for unusual pictures was too
alluring. and Mr.. Newman stayed on.
When war was declared by France and
Russia, and even after England had de-
clared war, he continued taking pict-
ures of the patriotic demon situations on
Inter den Linden. That night, how
ever, two officers of the German army
called upon him and advised that they
were ordered to detain him, and he
was forthwith taken to military hos
pital. He was not searched subjected
20 no indignities; IN fact, received
kindlier treatment than was TO be ex-
pected under the circumstances. But
for four days, until he succeeded in
getting word Of his predicament to AM
bassador Gerard, he was kept in con-
finement With the cooperation OF
the ambassador, he was finally per-
mitted to depart, but once again his
cameras were confscated, although in
this instance he was permitted to re-
tain what pictures he mad taken. These
he will show in his forthcoming travel
talk, Berlin" at the New Amsterdam
Theatre and Carnegie Hall.
The two experiences, though hap
pening many years apart, present a
strange parallel and Illustrate the diff
culties travel-lecturers occasionally
meet with. Both were serious enough
when they happened, although now Mr.
Newman looks back upon them with
much amusement.

1.-THE DlCKY BIRD"
Two Honeymoons with One
Husband.

Chrystal Herne is having her second
honeymoon in six months.
The blushing bride in "Dicky Bird"
the new curtain raiser for "Polygamy"
at the Park Theatre, has lively sense
of humor and taste for domestic life.
About six months ago, when she had
Just signed a contract for "Polygamy,"
an intrepid young man crossed the con-
tinent from New York to Los Angeles
and whisked Chrystal Herne to the
minister before she had the chance to
make up her mind. She signed her
contract for marriage and began her
first honeymoon before she could pro-
test at her bridegroom's precipitation.
"And the next week | had to play in
Salt Lake City," Miss Herne walls.
Then rehearsals were called for 'Polyg-
amy For weeks and weeks | hadn't
the chance to unpack my wedding pres
ents or to put my apartment to rights
with all the pretty, new furniture, or to
go to theatres and dinners and out in
the evenings in my pretty. new gowns,
as other brides do. At Z o'clock in the
evening I'd say, Now, | must go to re-
hearsal.' And OFF I'd 60. Or, later,
when the play opened, Now | must go
to the theatre; ] hope you'll have
pleasant evening" He was perfectly
dear about it, which made me feel so
remorseful, but I'd signed the contract
to play in 'Polygamy,' and what could
] do?
$50 l only had part of honeymoon,
and it's to be made up later, when the
season is over, because ! think a girl
has a right to full sized honeymoon,
even if she does have to keep her
theatrical contracts.
"Then one day Mr.. O'Higgins came to
me with a manuscript under his arm.
Here's another honeymoon for you to
make up the one you lost for 'Polyg-
ANY, said he. So here is my second
honeymoon in six months. And a Sec
ond trousseau. / just adore being
bridel"
"The Dicky Bird" presents Miss
Herne in the first comedy role in which
she has been seen in New York. IL is
of peculiar interest for this reason, for
she has never before been able to per-
suade a New York manager that she
had comedy possibilities. Though"
she says, "Pd love to play Peg Wof-
fington' and The Country Girl and all
the rollicking, romping, hearty and
happy roles of the comedy stage"
