HEAR $4,000 DAMAGE
SUIT IN CIRCUIT COURT

NEW BRUNSWICK, May "A
suit for $25, 900 damages as the re-
suit of an automobile accident Is be-
ing tried in the supreme our be-
tore Judge Frank p. Lloyd this
morning. The plaintiff is Josephine
Hahn, of Midtown. the wife OF
FRANC Hahn, who was killed in an
automobile accident near Keyport
on December .. 1891, when the car
in which Hahn was riding collided
with a truck that the plaintiff was
not lighted. The machine was the
property of John Mccormick, a
Monmouth county farmer. The party
in the touring car was returning
from a fishing party at Long Branch.
The defense set up is that the late
ness of the hour probably caused the
men in the touring "a to doze. II
is contended that while the truck
was halted along the road, II was
well lighted and that even IL 1t had
not been lighted the night was night
enough to enable one to see 200 feet
along the road. Thomas Brown Is
attorney for the defense. while

THEATRES
At h Strand

n tAE1
TIT keen judgment and knowledge
OF human nature possessed by Erich
ven Stroheim was never better Illus
trated than in his selection of Dale
Fuller to play an emotional role in
the Universal super-production.
Foolish Wives" now being shown at
the Strand theatre.
Miss Fuller always had played
comic roles, both on the stage and
creen When the Universal direc-
tor asked her to accept the role of
servant girl in Foolish Wives" she
baked. She argued it vas not a
comic role and that it was too small
for her. An appeal to her pride
made her realize that a good actress
could do wonders with the bit. And
hse finally took it.
On the stage Miss Fuller played
the comedy role in THE Flirting
Princess" with Harry Bulger; in
William Ziegfield's THE Girl in the
kimona," with Murray and Mack,
and in stock in Boston and Brooklyn.
But being a California girl, born in
Santa Anna and educated in Mills
College in Oklahoma, she returned
home for a visit in 1915. There h
met Charles Murray, of the Sonnet
forces, in whose company she had
played on the stage, and he recon-
mended her to the producer of COM
edies. For the next three years she
produced laughter and then met
with an accident which kept her off
the scree for two years.
The part of the maid in Foolish
Wives" has proved to be n of the
most striking in the picture. due to
Miss Fuller's able emotional acting.
She surprised herself by her W ex-
cellence in the part-which is one OF
the hits of the picture.
