STATEN ISLAND STIRRED
Rumpus Ends With Woman
Being Held in 1000 and
Husband in 5000.

To begin with. this Is not press
agent story. 1t may be that he will
try to do something with 1t after the
case comes UP in the Staten Island
Magistrates Court next week. That is
OF course II the boss forgives him for
not being on the job when 1t all hap
pened yesterday. ~
Every genuine movie fan knows that
in order to make an appealing picture
a certain number of exteriors must be
shown. The scenario writer and the
producer Of THE Daredevil" Ito be
shown in umpty reels on Broadway
just as soon as the reels are dry) are
no exception to the rule.
And in this respect The Daredevil
is nothing unusual in the way of a
picture except for the fact that the
author might have had an added in
spiratIon IL he had been around yes
terday to see the child Of his brain being
mined. But that's another story. The
fact remains that the producers of the
picture had to have some exter!ors, and
as Staten Island Is appealing from an
exterior viewpoint they decided to make
them there.
Two Held Under Bait.
1t may be only coincidence. or II
may be the underlying reason for the
whole affair that the author Of the piece
wove ina lot OF antl-German propa-
ganda stun, but then again the picture
will have to speak for itself But pend
ing the hrst presentation of the Aim we
nave the following ineradicable record
Indited yesterday on the books Of The
clerk OF Judge Samuel H. Evans's court
at Tompkinsville
Mrs. Louis Hugo. held in $1,000 bail
on a charge of making seditious re-
marks.
Mr.. Louis Hugo, held in 5000 bail on
a charge Of disorderly conduct.
The above mentioned members Of the
Hugo family will appear for further
examination by Judge Evans next
Thursday afternoon.
Now. as the movie director would say,
Action, camera
1t appears that in their hunt for suit
able exteriors the impressarios OF the
daredevil picture some days ago selected
more or less secluded spot in the Bor-
ough Of Richmond.
Next scene. Miss Gail Kane, star of
The Daredevil and perhaps the
orisina! article, and her principal sup
port. Miss Corene Uzzell along with
Henry Sedley. Norman Trevor and
other members of the company d!sem-
barking from Staten Island ferry boat
at ST. George.
1t Is understood that this has nothing
to do with the original picture But
to continue, Miss Kane. Miss Uzzell and
the others have been accustomed. 1t APP
pears. to seek the interior OF Hugo's
Inn. not far from the ferry house. for
the purpose OF donning the costumes
worn In the piece. 1t Is not breaking
any release TO announce that Miss Kane
wea<s a boys suit, which may or may
not be taken as correlation Of the be-
lief that she is the original daredevil.
Anyway Miss Kane and Miss Uzzell
in the full exercise of their peculiar
prerogative were a little long in chang
ing yesterday. 50 much so that Mt
some minutes on the veranda of Mr.
Hugo's inn before they appeared. In
the absence OF the press agent it doesn't
appear what motive prompted Mr.. Sedley
to make friends with Mrs. Hugos dach
shund while he was waiting. but any
way he did. And again the p. A. by
reason of not being on the job. failed
to supply confirmation Of the rumor tina,
Mrs Hugo's relatives came from the
country where dachshunds are now re
ported being made into wienerwurst.
But Just as Mr.. Sedley In a per.
fectly innocent way was trying to as
