Last spring at the end of a trying road tour in her big racing play, "Wildfire," the famous beauty arranged to stay for a fortnight at Atlantic city and rest up before sailing for Europe. Fler plans were all right until the camera fiend upset them. Wherever% she went Miss Russell was flanked by cameras and the ‘persistent and eXasâ€" perating click of the fiendish things jarred upon her nerves §0 that Miss Russell‘s visit was nearly spoiled. Miss Russell has tasted public life long enough to know the cost, but she rather balks on snapâ€"shots at the seaside, and especially when one wants to be left to one‘s self and the enjoyâ€" imank ~t Kana ant aft the oublic w hir] mnommn conanevecemcomuimsieeanmis Miss Russell has tasted long enough to know the co rather balks on snapâ€"sho seaside, and especially when to be jlaft to one‘s self and ment of being out of the p for a time at least.
