Edna Baker, who appeared as the female lead in "Room 44" last week at the Apollo won for herself some unpleasantness and some undesirable pre»s stuff through a dis- agreement with Annie Lord, a local mas- seuse. It Beems that Miss Baker had mas- sage treatments and the bill was $45, which Edna thought was excessive. So a bailiff appeared at the theatre Friday to collect and he failed* to connect. Saturday a con- stable called to see her at her hotel with a writ of attachment and said he Intended seising her personal effects. Rather than have the fellow do that Miss Baker settled.
