Dale's trouble is due to the fact that Ada Gladys Powell, an English girl, some two months ago arrived in this coun- try, and after she had made some admis- sions regarding the reasons for her arrival and the receipt of a cable from her mother, was deported. The girl admitted that she came here in- tending to meet Dale, who paid her pas- sage. Dale was then informed that if he also did not go back to England deporta- tion proceedings would follow. He re- mained in this city and the arraignment followed. He was ordered to show cause why he should not be deported on the ground of "having imported or attempted to import to the United States a young woman for an objectionable purpose." Dale is married and his wife is now liv- ing in England. At the examination he denied everything which Miss Powell had said, the paying of her passage to this country and the con- fession of a love affair. The testimony will be forwarded to Washington where offidals will finally rule on the case. Pat Somerset, who appeared with Edith May in the prodnction, "Orange Blossom," also has a deportation case pending against him. _ The matter is up before ofncials for decision. KELLARD TO DO "JEKYL AND HYDE" John E. Kellard, who for a number of years has been appearing with repertoire companies he headed, returned last Friday from England. He announced that within three weeks he would present iu a Broad- way theatre "The Strange Case of Dr. Jelqrl and Mr. Hyde," which had been re- arranged and rewritten by Cyril Maude, the English actor-playwright, and himself. Kellard says this will be the first rear- rangement of the play in twenty-five years. Mrs. Kellard, professionally known as Freda Brindlcy, is to be his leading woman in the play. VERNA FELTON MARRIES Verna Felton, leading woman for the past two years with the Allen PlayerSj of Edmonton, Canada, was married on Feb- ruary 9 to Lee C. Miller, stage director for Leo Ditrichstein.

NEWSPAPER MISTAKES Newspapers as well as individuals make mistakes, which, when they get into print, surprise and amaze the readers, but they continue to happen just the same. The latest in connection with the show business was made by the Times, which in the review of the -Hammerstein show, "Wildflower," at the Casino, printed that the score was by Rudolph FrimI, who in it had the most tuneful score that he has written in years. Herbert Stethart and Vincent Youmans wrote the tunes in the piece.
