\VTHEN is a perfect lover not a per-
w feet lover? Answer-When he
hocot,,os Il husband

w feet lover! Answcr-Whcn he
becomes husband.
Elise Bartlett Schildkraut says this of
her husband, Joseph Schildkraut, matinee
gitls' idol and perfect lover on the stage,
and she says it with divorce papers right
in Philadelphia, where they were married
three years ago.
As Elise Bartlett, actress playing OPP
posite Mr.. Schildkraut, in "Lilliom,' Mrs.
Schildkraut was in an excellent position
to observe the difference before and after
taking perfect lover for husband. Eight
performances a week, and at places like
Chicago where the Sabbath is not very
brittle, nine times a week, thrilled and
adoring women watched the young actor
make love as love should be made.
They went home to dream and wonder
if to he kissed and crushed in his arms
was as wonderful as it looked across the
footlights. Perhaps all of them would
have liked TO ask Elise Bartlett, that
pretty recipient of these fiery attentions,
if the receiving end of such love scenes
was as heavenly as it seemed. They could
not very well ask such question, but
they did not need to, for after while
they got the answer; the announcement
that Miss Bartlett and Mr.. Schildkraut
were married.
This put an end to cynical remarks OF
disgiuntlcd husbands and sweethearts that
stage love-making was all mechanical and
that during that tweve-second kiss, he
was probably counting up the house. The
women had known better and they were
right as Miss Bartlett could testify. He
had been a perfect lover on the stage and
off. If it was paradise to be held in his
arms during these make-believe love
scenes what would it be like when it hap
pened all alone in the intimacy of their
own home, when as her husband he be-
longed to her forever? This ought to
make difference. 1t did.
The first difference she noticed was in
his attitude toward her on the stage. She
had always gotten the impression that as
IN actress as well as a woman, he cOnsid-
cred her just about right. This is, of
course, the proper attitude for perfect
lover. Criticism and fault-fnding come
only from imperfect lovers. Whenever
the star had a suggestion to make it was
made in the form of a request to his lead
ing woman that she do this or that as a
ivor to help him put some point over.
This was until they were married.
But when Judge William NJ. Lewis Of

it made the couple feel responsible for
each other on and Off the stage. As his

ton to suggest few little changes in
their scenes, but her star husband not
only vetoed them all but was full of ideas
for her improvement. wife does not
marry with the idea of being improved on
the stage or anywhere else except in a
beauty parlor.
Strange that he should have saved up
all this criticism until she was his wife
and therefore above it. As wife she
resented his stage orders Some of them,
she says she either disregarded or did
not obey with quite the enthusiasm he
expected. Did he wait until they were
in the privacy of their own home to utter
such gentle and tactful rebuke as a groom
might possibly be allowed to make to his
bride? No, he did not even wait till
they got off the stage.
Mrs. Schildkraut says that right in the
climax of love scene, with a baby spot
light focused on their faces, while across
the "foots" hundreds of feminine toes
curled in their slippers with ecstacy at
the thrill they Were sure must be hers,
he was really whispering in her ear "mean
remarks about her ability as an actress.
Though bursting with wife's natural de-
sire to tear herself out of his arms and
give the perfect lover piece of her mind,
she had to pretend to be almost faint
with love.
As if this were not bad enough, the
perfect lover, as he crushed her in his
final, overmastering embrace and pressed
his quivering lips to hers, also gave her,
so she says, real hard pinch until she
would have screamed if she had had the
breath. When the ordeal was over it was
necessary to 20 right on with the play

A Student Riot.

Thousa nds of dollars worth of prop

OF these six hundred students only

five has already been sentenced to five

for the States attorney to establish
first the fact of death and the time,
place and circumstances of the crime.
In complete reversal Of this method
the prosecutor placed on the stand as
his initial witnesses two people who
testified that they saw one of the de-.
PENDANTS on the night Of the murder
at a considerable distance from his
home. where it has been claimed he
had been throughout the night, thus
attacking his alibi in advance, where
as customarily such evidence is held
for rebuttal after the presentation Of
the alibi itself by the defense. Then
followed on the witness stand the
daughter Of the slain woman to testify
to certain circumstances collaterally
connected with the crime. Not until
the fourth witness took the stand was
any direct reference made to the &C.
tual tragedy in the establishment Of
the crime.

Thus 1t is probable that her testimony,

against the accused, will be the last Of

AN be given at all before the defense
opens.
But another oddity is yet to develop.
One Of the leading witnesses of the
State, who had before the grand Jury
given testimony highly damaging to
The, defense, proves on the witness
stand in the trial to be in fact "hos-
'ile," refuting his earlier testimony
and denying knowledge Of certain
facts alleged to be known to him.
Whereupon the prosecutor presents a
witness who testifies to circumstances
affecting him and his connection with
he case. in the nature of denial Of
his own denial. Thus the spectacle is
offered Of the prosecution having to
1iscredit it's own witness.
All these peculiarities make the
Hall-Mills case, apart from it's sensa.
-ional character, exceptionally inter-
esting. At the present rate it will
set a record for departures from

conclusive verdict, after the long

circumstances, will be worthy of per-

Just Plain Bad Manners.

Quarreling between American men,
bers Of the party of Queen Marie of
Rumania has reached the point at
which the public becomes thoroughly
disgusted. These outbursts of jeal-
ousy are not only egregiously bad
manners but they are in shockingly
bad taste and must cause a very poor
opinion Of the people Of this country
in other lands.
Regardless Of the. merits Of the
controversy respecting the rights of
hostship on the train, the outburst
of Ill temper manifested a lack of
what must, for the want Of a better
word be called good breeding. Such
a thing would never happen in other
lands. There might be sharp feel
ings, but they would never reach
the public attention. There might be
quarrels, but they would be kept
strictly private.
Consider the spectacle: A royal
parsonage comes to this country for
visit and is escorted about in state,
in order that she may see the won
ders of this western land. Her hon
orary escort changes from place to
place and at almost every point of
new contact there is friction between
those who regularly attend her and
those who represent the newly, en-
, tered sections. Seats of honor in
motor cars and at dinners and other
functions are disputed. Small boys
quarre.ing over their games in a
schoolyard are no less dignif1ed than
are these adults.
1t is with shame that the country
watches these maneuvers. The chief
| fault appears to lie with an individ-
ual who claims to stand as general
manager of the tour. 1t would be
bad enough il the object of these
| jealous attentions were some un-
sentient freak of nature, toured as an
attraction for morbid public curiosity
But when the principal person, the
guest of the American people, is a
woman of the highest culture and of
the highest social and official status,
the situation is intolerable.
! Americans are not an uncouth peo-
pie. The standard of good manners
is quite as high here as in other
lands. But sometimes supposedly rep
resentative Americans undeniably dc
put their countrymen to shame by
their gaucheries and their utter lacl
Of the sense of social propriety. The
hope is that the royal visitor and
her country people and others who
are doubtless now watching this silly
display of i'll temper and bad man
ners will not condemn the whole Ma
tion or judge it by this single
episode.
