LOVE ON A BALCONY.
RO:UEO SUES THE FATHER
SAYIXG IT WITH FLOWERS. LONDON, April 29. A real life Romeo in Berlin has sued Juliet's father for heaving flower-pots at his head when found climbing the balcony to his sweetheart's room. Romeo was Max, a suburban barber; Juliet was Freida, a shop girl, and daughter of a locksmith. Both played as Romeo and Juliet in an amateur society's performance. The locksmith and his wife at night time heard whispering in Freda's room, and found Max on the bedroom balcony window. The father warned him off, 3ut the same thing occurred the second night, and then the irate parent threw flower-pots. ~ He " didn't miss once," he proudly told the judge, who said he must punish him, but finally let him off with a caution. He learned later that Juliet had eloped with her lover.
