WOMAN LOSES VOTE BY
MARRIAGE TO FOREIGNER

San Francisco, Dec. 6.-Mrs. Cor
don Mackenzie. wife of the well
known San Francisco singer and
clubman. may not vote at California
elections. The supreme court of the
United States decided she was not
an American citizen because she had
forfeited her citizenship when she
married Mackenzie. The Scotch
singer never has been naturalized
and Is still subject of King George.
Mackenzie started the suit in Wash
ington when his wife was refused the
right to register by Register zeman-
ski here recently. The decision in
the Mackenzie case Is far-reaching,
in that it establishes legal prece-
dent created by woman suffrage that

MOVING PICTURES TAKE
PLACE OF SUNDAY SERMON

Tacoma. Dec. 6.-The largest
crowd that ever attended a Sunday
night service at the First Congrega-
tional church assembled there last
night for the first motion picture and
musical service ever put on in a Ia
coma church. There was no sermon.
Rev. Frank Dyer said today the plan
had proved successful and would be
continued.
The striking feature of the mo-
tion picture service was the family
attendance" he said. Whole fami-
lies came. and the children we're es-
pecially interested. For two years
we have tried to make the Sunday
night services attractive to children
and parents, and I believe that the
motion picture appeal is the best
solution of the problem"
