REFUSED TO REHEARSE Kiss. Sixteen-Year-Old Actress Sore For i Bench of Contract. NVw York, May 3.?Here is the story of an actress who would not submit to being embraced and kiss.-d at rehearsals of a part that called up? on h, r to receive embraces and kiss? es from a man actor and of the le? gal complications that followed. The actress who objected to kisses at rehearsals is young, only 16 years old. She is Helen Seholder, pretty and a c^llo player. Arthur Hammer stein, theatrical manager, and his stage manager, Edward Locke, play? wright, are the men who insisted upon her rehearsing the kissing act, as they did not believe so young an actress could be proficient in the gentle art of kissing. Mr. Hammerstetn broke his con? tract with Miss Seholder because of her aliened disobedience in refus? ing t?? rehearse the kissing part and because of her alleged refusal to wear a dress which she did not con si der to be pretty. She thereupon sued Hammerstein for damages, for this alleged breach of contract, in? sisting that he was not justified in discharging1 her. After bearing testimony in regard to retrearsal of kisses and embraces and other matters Justice Shell, in the Second District Municipal Court in the Bronx, has reserved decision md will within a f-w days decide whether or not an actress must re? hearse the actual kissing called for l?y her part.
