steamers are dscharging freight and no
questions asked
But someone informed her that the
American courts have a disconcerting
habit of ignoring these foreign divorces,
and she came right back to Philadelphia,
where the marriage had been performed,
and in the Court of Common Pleas, just
few blocks away from Judge Lewis's
Municipal Court, where the knot was tied,
asked for a divorce. Among other things
she says:
"And your libellant proposes to prove
and expects to prove cruel and barbarous
treatment, indignities to her person, and
other offenses emitting her to decree in
divorce
The papers in the case have been inn
pounded, so that it is not known whether
the cruel and barbarous treatment means
that the pinching and horrd criticisms
were transferred from the stage to the
home, or whether a new line was invented
when Mr. Schildkraut became no longer
the perfect domestic lover.
Mr. Schildkraut himself does not seem
to know, judging from his replies when
the matter was called to his attention.
yes" said Mr.. Schildkraut, speaking
hoarsely with a heavy cold in his Nv
York apartments. "My wife is asking for
a divorce, and although have not received
any papers in the case, l have read that
she charges me with Entertainment. Women
view cruelty and Entertainment so differ
emily that | cannot say whether the
charges are true or not until know just
what she means
But if my wife wishes to be freed from
me | shall probably not make any contest.
| still love my wife, but refuse to be un
happy. When ] am over my cold I will
read some beautiful book that will make
me forget, or will go to the piano and
play music which will make me forget"
So it looks as if Mr.. Joseph Schildkraut
would soon join the ranks of Mr.. Lionel
Atwill and other deserted perfect lovers
1t would seem that for some mysterious
reason the master love-maker and super
kisser is not without honor except in the
one place where he ought TO be best known
and appreciated-his own home.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1926-01-17

had been no friction, so why should there
be any divorce? When the alleged pinch
ing and horrid criticisms were mentioned
he waved the subject aside as having moth
ing to do with the case. AS artists on
the stage, yes, they might have artistic
differences of opinion, even clashes, but
this had nothing to do with their private
lives as man and wife which was Just
perfect, unending honeymoon and always
would be. Why not?
Mrs. Schidkraut pondered this state
meut and found truth in it. Come TO
think, he had been a perfect lover and
husband away from the theatre. If there
had been trouble in the home it was be-
cause she had brought grievance from
the performance There had been some
unpleasantness because Mr.. Schildkraut
sometimes stood in the lobby of the the
atre and stated publicly that he was the
best actor in America. However, modesty
always prevented him from admitting
that he was the greatest in the world.
Mrs. Schldkraut agreed with her husband
but criticized him for saying it himself.
Yet even this trouble started in the
theatre.
In "Peer Gynt" the wife had found the
curly head of her husband in close prox-
unity to that of an attractive feminine
member of the cast oftener than wiley
thought necessary or desirable. There
had been talk of matrimonial shipwreck
(Cl 1926 by American yVc.tly I,

work, there were others who could and
did. Some people, probably not happers,
objected to a play called "The Firebrand,"
and because of their protests New York
play jury solemnly "sat upon" the pro-
duction to decide what should be done.
The jury was very lenient and found that
with a few minor alterations the play
would do. The main trouble lay in a
twelve-second kiss which Mr. Schildkraut
applied to a lady's lips.
If that osculatory spasm could be re-
duced to six or even eight seconds, the
piece would pass inspection, and the jury
felt sure that in that time an actor would
be able to make the audience understand
that the girl was being thoroughly kissed.
Mr.. Schildkraut could not see it that
way. 1t seems that art is long when it
comes to kissing, but that, after all, act
ing is an exact science. If he Topped
few seconds from that carefully measured
kiss it would mix up the meaning of the
scene, like row of asterisks left out of
story. No, he would not cut so much as a
fifth of a second even if the play had to
close.
The play did not close and there were
rUmors that he had cut the kiss in half,
that he had increased it to fifteen and
half seconds, and that the stage manager
stood in the wings with a stop-watch. Mrs.
Schildkraut kept out of all these artistic
discussions, but there were signs that all
was not well. 1t was reported that the
great professor of love-making had admit
ted that it was impossible for any man to
be the perfect lover at home and ION the
stage both. What concerned Mrs. Schild-
kraut was that in choosing whether to fall
down on the love job at home or on the
stage, he chose the home. The only love
that was left was the stage love, and she
had manoeuvered herself out of that.
The last straw came when she sent her
husband the bills for half a dozen hats
she had bought in Chicago, and got them
back again in the next mail without check
or comment. 1t seemed to her that not
only a perfect lover, but even a Grade C
one, could hardly do such an unkind thing
as that So she went right down to Yucca
tan, where divorces can be obtained while
