The one act farce In which Miss Phillips and company of four appeared on Monday afternoon Is far from a hit in Its present form. As It stands now. there la much ado about nothing, and with the exception of Miss Phillips and Haxel Campbell, who plays a French maid In capital style, the cast 1* amateurish. The author's name is not given on the house program. His handiwork tells the story of Mrs. Wotherby, who Is lively and well when her husband is away from home, but when he is at home she poses as ill and weak. In her deception she has the aid of the French maid. The purpose of the decep- tion is to compel her husband to send her to the seashore. A doctor, who was form- erly an admirer is called in and the wife, finding that the doctor will not become a party to the deception, makes violent love to him. The purpose of this Is to get the doctor to advise the husband to send her to the seashore. The doctor, however, convinces the husband that he should pose as a sick man, if be wants to break his wife of her deception. He does so, and when the wife thinks that her husband Is going to die, she confesses her deception. Miss Phillies, who la private life Is the wife of Taylor Holmes, gave a splendid per- formance of the wife. ' Tie sketch ran about eighteen minutes. Interior set.

Stem A Co. based their action upon the contention that Alfred Solman, the well known composer, who was under exclusive contract with them, had written the music of this song during the period ot hla agree- ment, nnd that the Laetnmlo Co. had pub- lished Solman's muele with the knowledge of Stern A Co.'s exclusive rights to Soltnan'a works. . The main Issues came to trial In June. 1012, before Justice Newtrarger, who decided from the bench at the conclusion ot the trial that Messrs. Stern a Co. had sustained) their rauac of action, and were entitled to an Injunction and an accounting. The Carl Laemmle Music Co. thereupon appealed to the Appellate Division, and the decision Just handed down affirms the Judgment en- tered by Justice Newburger. • Hit Caiuu. will Join the "A Man's Friends- Co. ...
