Miss Newman, who had been understudying Miss Edna May in "The Belle of Mayfair" at the Vaudeville, contended that when Miss Edna May relinquished her part, it should have been given to her, instead of which it was assumed by Miss Phyllis Dare. The Jury decided that a breach of contract had occured, and awarded the plaintiff £300 damages. A stay of Execution, however, has been granted pending an appeal.
