NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Dr. R. S.
Freedman, of this city, is going down
to Washington to see the Smithsonian
Institute people about starting a Hall
of Fame. He isn’t so wild about the
Hall of Fame idea, himself, but he is
approximately about $450 out and
he feels that if he can get the Hall of
Faipe thing properly started he can
get his four-fifty back and get rid of
a picture of Woodrow Wilson which
he is tired of looking at.
T he picture was started by the
late Gustave C. Langenberg, several
years ago, when it appeared that
there would be something definite to
be done with it when it was finished.
The scheme was to present it to the
kaiser, as a gift from the Hamburg
Chamber of Commerce. You can fig
ure for yourself just how loud the ap
plause would have been if a commit
tee from the Hamburg Chamber of
Commerce had climbed the Kaiser’s
front steps at any time within the
past year carrying a presentation por
trait of Woodrow Wilson. It would
be really more than superfluous to
say that that scheme was entirely off,
before the picture was ready to be
shipped. Very soon after the picture
was finished the artist died. As a
friend of the family, Dr. Freedman
stepped in with a neat little scheme to
take care of the picture and get some
money from the artist’s estate.
“The wives of presidents are
shamefully neglected by the n&tiob,”
he argued. “Nobody ever presents
them with anything. Here is a beau
tiful thought for this neglected class.
We will raise a nice fund and present
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson with this hand
some portrait of her distinguished
husband. I shall take charge of this
noble enterprise. I shall even origi
nate a sentiment to be inscribed upbn
the portrait.”
So the good doctor arranged to
have 15,000 letters sent out accord
ing proper persons the privilege of
subscribing to the picture fund. Also,
he arranged to have a committee vis
it Mrs. Wilson, at Washington, and in
form her of {he honor to be conferred
upon her. Then he retired to his
study and gave himself to deep
thought in composing a proper senti
ment to be inscribed upon the port
rait. At last, he evolved this: "In
grateful appreciation of his having
successfully kept us out of the war.”
But, somehow or other, things
didn’t happen the way the doctor ex
pected, at all. First, Mrs. J. Sherwin
Crosby, whom the doctor selected as
a committee of one to personally no
tify Mrs. Wilson of the forthcoming
presentation, returned from Washing
ton with the report that Mrs. Wilson
had emerged from a garden party
long enough to talk with her eight
minutes instead of 15, as her social
secretary had promised, and that all
she said was that she would personal
ly accept the picture of she were giv
en the assurance that the presentation
committee would be limited to a
small number of persons of proper so
cial position. That certainly gave the
doctor a chill.
Then the correspondence c'erk in
charge of the subscriptions to the
fund made a report. It was to the
effect that the expense of sending out
the 15,000 letters had reached a little
more than $1,000 and that the sum
total of contributions, all reports be
ing in, had reached a little less than
$600. This, to the doctor, was posi
tively painful. You see, he had stood
good for the entire cost of sending
out the letters.
Then came the final blow. A brief
letter from Mrs. Wilson's social sec
retary notified the doctor that Mrs.
Wilson had changed her mind about
accepting the picture. The presenta
tion committee, tne letter said, was
tod large. That was all. Some of the
members of the committee were: Mrs.
Norman E. Mack, Mrs. Simon Baruch,
Mrs. Stephen S. Wise, Mrs. Robert
Adamson, Mrs. Perry Belmont and
Mrs. Gilbert McClurg.
Now you understand fully what has
driven Dr. Freedman to try to start
a Hall of Fame. Some time, also, he
may writa an essay on social com
plexities at Washington.

Comedy and Drama Tonight—Scream
From Start to Finish Sunday Only.
There will be no motion picture
show at the Empress theatre Monday
evening, Dec. 18. Sunday evening,
however, the captivating comedienne,
Vivian Martin in “Would You or Over
Night,” a five act comedy scream to
gether with the incomparable Pathe
News, are the features.
Vivian Martin, the dainty little in
genue of “Old Dutch,” “The Wishing
Ring,” “Little Miss Brown,” and
other successful photoplays has in
“Over Night” a part suited to her
delicate and piquant style of acting.
She is a very timid little bride who
loses her hubby on their honeymoon.
Hubby in a series of circumstances
finds himself in the company of an
other bride. After many quarrels and
explanations the complications are
straightened out. But you should see
the picture and Vivian Martin who
gives a very delightful impersonation
of the bewildered bride. The picture
is beautifully photographed and ably
directed and will be found a very en
tertaining offering.
This Saturday evening, drama and
comedy will be featured. The pro
gram briefly outlined, follows: “The
New York Girl,” “On the Brink of the
Abyss,” “In the Sunlight" and “Ham’s
Easy Eats.” Plenty of fun for old
and young. For the holidays, the
Empress theatre has in preparation,
and will .present the most daring and
stupendous cinema production of mod
ern times. Announcement in detail in
a few days.

to view the new wall decorations on

is apt to result in regret later.
