This is pointed out in the case of Ada La Mar. Through her attorney, M. Strassman, Ada recovered judgment against James Macagnano, proprietor of
a moving picture place at No. 180 Thompson Street, New York. She engaged to play at that house week Nov. 8 at $17 per week. The testimony was to the
effect that she received only $2 on account, although she had done fifteen turns on Sunday.
The suit was brought before Justice Dinneen in the Municipal Court. The court returned judgment for the plaintiff together with the right to arrest him and
confine him in Ludlow Street Jail for fifteen days. This procedure Is possible, however, only when the salary claimed Is less than $60.
