BIG FISH UPSET
BOAT IN Which
WAS GAYETY GIRL

1t is not alone the survivors OF a
torpsdoed ship who can attract the
attention OF q man-o'war and get
sturdy sailors to come to the rescue.
Even a pretty actress in distress af-
ter a monster fish Jerks her into the
water can get quick response to
IS o S" signals, according to Miss
Reeves beauty show" at the Gayety
out OF a boat while fishing near
Long Island a few weeks ago.
It was a twenty-pound fish, to say
the least, that jerked at Miss Leigh
toms line. Believing she had a
"whopper" the actress tugged hard.
So did the FISH. Tho net result was
that the row boat in which Miss
Leighton and a friend were fishing
shipped too far to starboard and over
into the sea went the occupants.
- white Hat Saves Life.
Miss Leighton said today that she
owes her escape from probable
drowning 10 a white hat she wore.
Clinglng to the capside boat she
waved It high in the air. Swimming
to safety was out OF the question, for
II was two miles to shore. The
couple had ventured out too far. she
admitted. but when fishing is good,
who thinks OF danger?
Some warship was anchored about
half a mile out to sea from u.s." said
the actress. when an officer saw
my emergency distress signal. he
sent a boat of sailors and they picked
us up. Say, maybe we were not glad
to see the jackies when they drew
up alongside OF our overturned boat.
1t wes the happiest moment of my
life"
But She Lost The Fish
The prima donna admitted that the
big fish, the cause of all the woe,
escaped during the excitement.
But" she added, "he carried OF
the pole and line. That proves I
had big fsh, even IL Ididn't catch
him."
This Is Miss Leighton's third sea-
son with burlesque. She was born
in Syracuse, n. Y, and went on the
stage while still a child. She has
played leading roles in musical COM
edy shows and has traversed the 3.
F. Keith circuit many times. Miss
Leighton was trained TO sing in
Syracuse University. She believes
burlesque has the brightest future of
any field of theatrical work.

settle the longshoremen strike, which
is blocking the movement of many
allied vessels, and in which more
than 5000 workmen are partIcipat-
ing.
War activities are hampered, and
Government conscription OF labor
may become necessary. Steamship
men regard the situation as "a mill

that all transatlantic lines are az
fected..
The one exception to the many
idle vessels is an American liner on
which the longshoremen agreed to
work because the line= will carry the

the neutral and Entente vessels, olhf

during that period brought the total
