An OF which was true, but there was
a romantic story behind it which they
did not know of.
A year and a half ago when the Red
Cross ship sailed from New York loaded
with surgeons and nurses for the war
ring armies on Il was DR.. Philip New

pleasant-faced young man, who was just
starting his career and was attached to

with the Red Cross.
Two Reasons for Going.
The young lady to whom he had been
engaged had died and he was in a de-
pressed state and needed a change OF
Ecene. Also, he realized that it would
take him years to establish a lucrative
practice in New York or any other big
city, while the war offered opportunities
even II it did entail hardships. He had
no private means and depended or his
profession for an income.
l met DR.. Newton in Castle House. at
Luna Park. Coney Island, a short time
before he left. The doctor came there
TO escort his sister. Miss Marie Newton,
who was one Of the professional dancers,
and an extraordinarily pretty girl The
dancing craze was then at its zenith
and the summer Castle House was an ex-
elusive and fashionable resort, even II
it was on Coney Island. Miss Newton
was a graduate Of the Castle school and
a graceful dancer. DR.. Newton essayed
to dance occasionally, but not If his sister
could stop him.
He told me that he had no idea what
army he would be assigned to, except
that he had elected to serve with the

Well, DR.. Newton served for a year
and a half with the Russian army. He
met and married a Russian princess She
died a few months after they were
married and left him-so I am told-a

undoubtedly appreciated his services, for
he was promoted through the various
grades until now he has come back
with the rank Of general.
Meanwhile Miss Newton found thaI

Ward, leading comedian of the Roseland
Girls Company at the Gayety Theater
this week, is one of the few that can do
both characters successfully. In the first
half of this weeks show he takes the
part of German politician and in the
second he is a secondhand clothing deal
er.. Both parts allow him plenty of
scope to display his remarkable talents.
Mr.. Peck, former manager of the Gay
ETY. Theater. is the party responsible for
discovering Mr.. Ward. "Solly' was play
fng with a second-rate company at the
old Lyceum Theater two years ago, and
Mr.. Peck happened to drop in to look
the show over. He was impressed with
the youngsters work as a German come
dian, and when he watched him perform
in the second part as a Jewish comedian
he knew he had a find" Knowing that
Butch Cooper was on the outlook for
a good comedian, he wired him in New
York to come down and watch this boy
work. Cooper arrived the following day
and after witnessing Mr.. Wards per-
formance at the Lyceum he walked up
to his manager and paid $1,000 for his
release. ''Solly'' heard about 1t at his
hotel next day. He was getting ss5 a
week and was trying to get up courage
to ask Mr.. Cooper for at least $50 Just
as he had decided that he would not
work for a cent less than that Mr.
Cooper came in to see him. When
"Solly'' saw the salary figure on the
contract offered him he almost tainted
He never thought that there was that

The Princeton Triangle Club gave a

Flo Ziegield or Jake Shubert could wish
for. 1t so happened that the windows
in their dressing room looked down on
the windows of the brokers' office.
One of the plungers looked up from
the tape (they gave the show in the
afternoon) and saw vision Of loveliness.
In thirty-eight seconds the tape was
deserted and thirty-eight spectators were
crowding the windows and ogling those
visions of loveliness. The boys grasped
the situation. played 1t strong and then
