NEW YORK, April 5. ffew York
.society folhs who contemplate airlns
their .domestic difficulties in the
courts and public prints must, if they
would be up to date, go hire a press
agent.
James A. Stillman and' his wife,
"FfTi" Potter Stillman, established the
precedent which has opened up a new
and amazing branch of the publicity
profession.
Each side of the sensational divorce
action had its press agent. Not, as
is usually, the case, to get "nice"
things printed about themselves. The
Bystem was reversed. The press
agents werev hired to and did re
veal to the palpitating public all the
things the public wanted to know
about the other side. This is the sys
tem: "Mr. Stillman, it became known to
day, named Fred Beauvais, an In
dian guide, co-respondent in his suit
-for divorce."
. That put the burden on Mrs. Still
man. Mrs. iStillman's press agent met
the newspaper, men. (Nejjt day:
"Mrs. Stillman, it was learned from
an authoritative source today, accus
es her husband of being the 'husband'
of Mrs. Florence Leeds."
Then it was Stillman's turn. His
press agent countered with this:
"Attorneys for Stillman are known
to have in their possession a letter
from his wife, alleged to contain a
confession."
"Fifl" Potter. Stillmaa's publicity
agent rejoins with this:
"Letters said to be in the posses
sion of Mrs. Stillman's attorneys'show
that Jame3 Stillman had no suspicions
against his wife, even after the al
leged letter, of confession."
And as this battle of publicity grew
warmer, bit by bit, the whole case
was before the court of public opinion.
The lawyers concerned, old and es-
tablished firms, ethical and all that,
of course, disclaimed "leaking" to the
press. Perish the thought.
But the press agent for Mrs. Still
man was an ' employe of one of fler
several law firms whee knowledge
of the newspaper game and nose for
news proved an invaluable aid to her
side of the case.
The press agent for ' Stlllmap. was
a tried newspaperman who, since
leaving the business, has become a
publicity manager of one of New
York's greatest corporations., 1

MADAME X
I!
(Preview.)
1 "Madame X," that dramatic tale of
.'marriage gone wrong, was flashed up
on ' the silver screen at the Casino
theater last night in a preview. Guests
of the popular show house sat through
two hours of high interest.
The drama- Is a showing of domestic
life wrecked by misunderstanding. It-
appeals, inasmuch as misunderstand
ing Is at the basis of most trouble in
the world.
A friend of the husband seizes the
'wife in his arms despite her struggle
to free herself and at that moment
, the husband uses his eyes. The wife
is denounced. She is ca3t out.
Her downfall is begun. But she
I comes back ts .her home' to see her
. husband and her son. Mother love ac
, tuates her. She pleads to see the boy
but is refused.
j To Buenos Aires' she goes trying to
( forget. Twenty years after the wreck
of her domestic life, she meets a
, man who is in South America al the
earnest request of the French police.
She agrees to return to France with
him.
., Then she is mixed up 'with two
blackmailing fiends and this man.
, They seek to extort a big sum of mon-
ey from her husband, now risen to
great power. The man with whom
she returned to France starts out on
the mission. She seeks to prevent
I him. iShe.will not permit anyone she
, loves to be hurt. In desperation she
murders the man.
j Her son, grow to manhood, de
fends her at her trial, unmindful that
I she lg his mother. The husband of
Madame X listens to the case. Then
she is freed and her husband and
her son learn her Identity.
It 1b a dramatic story from begin-,
ning to end, the cburt room scene
being especially thrilling. The charac
ter work of Pauline Frederick as Ma
dame X is as fine a bit of acting as
she ever did. And that is giving her
extravagant praise.
"Madame X" will be shown at the
Casino theater tonight and tomor.
