"Back seat driving" on the part of a wife is true and
just cause for divorce. Precedent is established by the
supreme court of California in the case of Harman versus
Harman.
Claud Harman, doughty locomotive engineer of San
Francisco, stated that his wife Jessie did constantly opine
from her back seat roost just how and when and why he
should negotiate curves, the passing of other vehicles, and
that she screamed when there was no due cause for said
screaming.
The lower court laughed and disposed of irate husband
Harman’s plea, but the state supreme court gave him his
divorce with a judicial verve and flair, to say nothing of
fillip, which seemed to commend Harman highly as a bene-
factor to the race with his precedent

MARK SULLIVAN predicts that Congressman W. S. Vare
of Pennsylvania, will not be permitted to hold hie
seat in the United States senate, and Mark predicted the
election of Vare. Newberryism cost the republican party
six or eight seats in the American senate. They lost those
seats to the democrats. And, yet, the friends of Newberry
only expended $187,000 to win for him a seat in the senate
from Michigan.
Congressman Vare admits an expenditure of $87,000 in
his successful race for a senatorial nomination. Governor
Pinchot, who lost, admits an expenditure of 1190,000.
George Wharton Pepper, the friend of Coolidge, had the
backing of the Mellons and the Grundys. They admit an
expenditure of upwards $1,000,000. They lost Pepper but
they won the governorship and control of the state machine.
Mark Sullivan is a consistent republican. He is a consistent
dry. He is an American Celt. That is, he is of Irish origin.
Now he surmises that Vare will be the goat, because Vare
is a wet and refused to continue to act as a political valet or
messenger boy for the Mellons and the Grundys.
If Vare is to be punished for the expenditure of >87,000,
why should Gifford Pinchot escape condemnation ? He is
a reformer and a gentleman, and yet he invested a fortune
in the political shell game and lost. All the Mellons are
gentlemen; all the Grundys are gentlemen. They invested
a million dollars. They lost the senatorship, but they won
the governorship and the machinery of the organization.
Are they to be honored or exhalted when the time comes
to make a goat of Vare and throw him on the scrap pile ?
W. L. Mellon, the nephew of his famous uncle, was elected
state chairman of the republican committee and Harry S.
Baker, a Vareite, was thrown in the scrap pile. This gives
the Mellons and the Grundys absolute control of the repub-
lication machinery in their state.
They hold the whiphand as far as Vare is concerned.
If he is elected, all the Mellon organization has to do will
be to pass the word along the line to throw Vare out be-
cause he is a wet, and spent >87,000 to win his nomination.
Or, he will be forced to return to his old position, which
was that of political stable boy.
, Now the Grundys had no great Interest in the senator-
ship. They wanted a business man for governor. They
joined hands with the Mellons, and John S. Fisher won the
nomination over the Vare candidate.
Now the Grundys do not play national politics. They
do play state politics. They see to it that their governor
Bears the proper brand and that the legislators are care-
fully herded and carefully branded at the branding season
of the year.
If it costs a million dollars to lose a senatorship and
win a governorship in Pennsylvania, and gentlemen, and
not political stable boys, furnish the money for the de-
bauching of the voting electorate, now who should be con-
demned— the gentlemen or the political stable boy?

Big Stars Liked Best

favorites in good stories, but they
are far more interested in the
star’s characters than in their

This is the consensus of William
The Crescent, alec, opens with a

Who Found Himself,” which was
written by Booth Tarkington, espe-
cially hat Thomas Meighan might
make a movie from it. That is, it
is not an adaptation from a Tark-
ington novel, but is a screen play
absolute.
Meighan has the role of Tom
Macauley, who shares with his
father and elder brother the re-
sponsibility of managing a mid-
western bank. He divides his time
between playing around at the
country club an J making love to
Nora Brooks, whose part is taken
by Virginia Valli.
The elder brother, Edwin, is per-
suaded by his wife to plunge on
Wall street In the traditional
manner of neophytes, he loses, and
is forced to manipulate the funds
of the bank to save himself from
ruin. One Lon Morris notifies the
state examiners of the irregularity.
Tom shoulders the blame, and is
sent to prison.

The opinion holds, however, only
in the preparation of scenarios for
stars whose names have greater
drawing power than the title or
theme of any story or author. The
alternative classification is that d
special productions which ale
chosen primarily for the strength
of the story and are cast with
characters, rather than players,
chiefly in mind.
"In selecting a vehicle for one of
the stars, such as Thomas Meighan,
Richard Dix, Babe Daniels, Adolphe
Menjou and others, we look for
stories that will fit into the public's
pre-conceived id" of the star’s
character,” Le Baron said.
"We then adapt the story or
stage play for the screen so that
each part of it will tend to develop
this idea and at the same time tell
a story that will interest and en-
tertain audiences.”
Judging by the desperate defense
she had put up in court, to forgive
Hugh, and come back with him.
Nina would not receive her five
thousand rounds from T eavenworth.
The post dated check she held was
useless. If she tried to cash it, cer-
tainly it would be returned from his
bank. It was almost impossible
that her disgrace could be kept out
of the newspapers. Even the at-
tempt at poisoning might be made
public through Dorothy MIntern,
though Hugh Ffrench was unlikely
to prosecute.
There was no future fr her in
England after this collapse, unless
with Paul Andrews—and he had
never meant to marry her! To be
aure, she could return to America
and dance at cabarets, as she had
danced in the days of her acquain-
tance with Lord Derek Leavenworth
in Washington. She had been a
great success in her way, and ahe
could be a success again, but not as
she had been, unlesa Paul Andrews
would become once more her danc-
ing partner.
That was what he had been when
his portrait painting had failed to
produce the fortune he needed. They
had loved each other then, and been
talked about, but she hadn’t cared,
because all the gossip was true: the
only thing to regret was that it pre-
vented her from marrying some
(more or less) infatuated million-
aire. •

Our Comedy Taste
Changes With Movies
HOLLYWOOD, June 18.—Screen
comics, maintains Charley Chase,
are very decidedly changing the
American idea and standard of
humor. And Chase, producer of
Pathe two-reelers, speaks as an ac-
complished member of the film fun-
making profession whose observa-
tions range far beyond the studio
borders.
"Since comedy o- the screen has
had to meet the test of natural-
ness." says Chase, "there has been
a noticeable welding together of a
public good naturedly enjoying this
mirror of themselves which slights
none of the foibles or weaknesses
we all are heir to.
"A decided element of heart ap-
peal has entered film comedies,
with sympathy established at the
outset for the hero. The figures of
comedy have become human beings
where once they were bizarre crea-
tures having little If anything in
common with the normal man.
“Up to the p esent generation
most parents tried to suppress com-
edy expression in their children as
something that smacked of ill-man-
ner or abomfnable taste. The
youthful clown was perhaps tolerat-
ed, but usually set aside as rather
undesirable.
“So, too, ‘respectable’ people re-
sented comedy pointed at them-
selves, their class, their race and
so on, as an insulting intrusion of a
smart aleck. Only the yokel, the
fool, could be the butt of ridicule.
“Lately there has been an amaz-
ing change in all this, and I con-
sider the movies largely responsible.
Present day ’aughter, in the mass
in the movies, shows a more
tolerant outlook. Hate and anger
do not lie so close to laughter as
once they did.”
Charley Chase has been by turn
actor, director and actor again in
the short reel Hal Roach produc-
tions for six years. As star of the
productions which bear his name,
he appears as the average, serious-
minded young man beset by com-
monplace difficulties, hopes and de-
spairs.
He has helped to elevate screen
humor above the stage of primitive
amusement.

and find that some of its short,
easily detached quills are left in

"Don’t believe her, Hugh—MY
Hugh!" Nina implored. "Sho must
have gone out of her mind*”
"It seems like it,” Hugh answer-
ed. though at those wrds, "Meli-
sande innocent—persecuted,” his
heart had leaped.
“I almost wish I WERE out of
my mind!" groaned Mary Ffrench.
"What I feel today brings back the
day when I lost this girl’s father. I
loved him so! I had been traveling
in Italy. I was going to run away
with him, Hugh. I thought he was
free—that the only barrier was his
being Catholic.
"But his Irish wife arrived in N-
plea just in time, with her child—a
girl of five. I was only 19, yet it
was the end of my youth. I've been
old over since. Today has broken
me! I forgave Luigi his deceit, for
he DID love me, I think—it wasn't
all for my money. But I can’t for-
give his daughter—so like him in
face!—for trying to poison Fay and
ruin Melisande."
"What does she mean?" Hugh
asked the girl. "What has she got
hold of by the wrong end and mis-
judged you?” g
"Stop!” cried Mary Ffrench. "Let
Nurse MIntern tell you what she
has told me. Read the chemist’s
analysis of Fay’s medicine doctored
by this wicked girl—they’ve just
sent it in—arid the prescription for
the REAL medicine Dr. Barnes pre-
scribed.
"Look at the letter Melisande
wrote to Fay the day before she left
this house. It’s been found pinned
into the lining of the child’s dress
she wore that afternoon. Hear Fay’s
story of what happened then; the
story Nina made her think was the
muddld nonsense of a dream.
"Nina herself went to the Rey-
nolds’ flat and brought Fay home-
then protended that the child had
never been out. There’s been a hor-
rible plot—drugging, bribery, cor-
ruption!” .
“Hugh—MY Hugh—don’t listen to
this woman! Don’t listen even to
Fay!" Nina pleaded. “Let me de-
fend myself. The plots their plot,
against me. I—"
But she stopped, with a sob, at
a sharp knock on the door. A ser-
vant announced a lady to see her
—“Mrs. Harkness."
For a second Nina hesitated, in-
clined to send Mrs. Harkness away;
but she needed a friend—sho might
need her desperately! “Bring Mrs.
Harkness here," she directed. And
when Mrs. Harkness came, Nina
threw herseli into the substantial
arms, sobbing as if her heart would
burst. Partly the outbreak was
genuine.
Her nerves had been on edge for
weeks, and today had been a great
crisis. Partly it was acting, for she

And now they accuse me of hor-
rible things? What SHALL I do?”
If Mrs. Harkness had not taken
rather more than her share of
champagne, she might have re-
sponded nobly to the call. But oom-
In* into the warmth of the house,
after the sold air outside, dazed her.
Besides, she had not quite recov-
ered from influenza. Alas, there-

asked, and stammered a little.
Nina drew back, horrified, re-
proachful, forgetting to cry. In her
rage at being “let down." But
Ffrench had heard the question and

It was as if, through beautiful,
bright windows, he caught a glimpse
of a morgue. His sister's words had
distressed him, but he had belleve

not take a customer to the door

Work horses are invariably pret-

well fed. It is a national trait to

threw up the "game" as she had
been wont to call it.

Ffrench’s allegiance, there could be
no mercy for her, because rehabili-

her away, and that the two taxi-
drivers (whom she had paid with
Miss Ffrench’s money) would be
made to turn asainst her also.
