By HARRIETTE UNDERHILL

EDITH STOREY has taken up her
IL habita. in the Metro studio,
carrying with her her fund Of magnet
ism, talent, experience and charm, and
now every one is wondering II she
isn't really engaged to Antonio No
reno, after all.
AS soon as We found that we were
going to meet our favorite screen
actress in the flesh we made up our
mind that that question would be the
first one we would put to her. How
ever, Edith Storey isn't the sort whom
one can ask personal questions, and so
it was not until she introduced the
subject that we found courage to say:
well, are you engaged to Mr.. Mo-
reno?" Her answer was ambiguous, but
for those who are interested we will
give it exactly as she gave it to US:
81 think It is not a wise idea for
screen actress to stick TO one leading
man" She smiled when she said il.
"You know, according to the film
fans, I am a woman with a variegated
past. They have been making my ar.
rangements for me for years. In this
case they are gentle; they have al
lowed me the luxury Of long engage
ment but, when was playing with
Earle Williams, they passed up all
such formalities. One morning I woke
up and learned that was married to
Mr.. Williams, and then when we parted
and went to separate stardom they had
to do something, so they divorced US.

scenarios Of the lurid kind. They

heard that his hero had been pro-
claimed Emperor. Yet It was TO pre-
vent him from accepting the post Of
chapelmaster at the court Of Jerome
Bonaparte at Cassel that his royal and
princely friends bound him TO Austria
by contracting to pay him an annuity.
Even after he had entered into this
obligation he sought means TO evade it
in order to visit Italy. A touching bit
Of evidence of his admiration for the
English people and their political in
stitutions is the fact that on his death
bed he insisted on having one Of his
visitors read the whole Of a speech
made in Parliament TO him. Il am
writing this far from my records, but
think that the speech was one of Can

publican governments of South Amer

MONDAY SEES START
OF TRAINING SEASON

Tacoma's first real proof that
the baseball season is nearly here
will come Monday when three
members of the Tacoma Tiger
club In the Northwestern league
will report at Athletic park for
early training.
The three are Harvey Suther-
land and Henry Peterson, star
pitchers, and Pete Flagstead of
Olympia, clever catcher and out
fielder.
The pitchers both want a little
more time than usual to get in
trim for the coming season, as
both are eager to make good this
year and jump into the majors.
Flagstead has been summoned by
Owner Russ Hall to receive for
the pitchers during their early

training, and to show what he can
do. Hall has been figuring on
using Flagstead as an outfielder
and utility catcher. He is anxious
to know Pete's ability, so that he
can line up another man in time
for the season If Flagstead doesn't
fill the bill.
Al Bonner, In whom Russ Hall
is placing much confidence this
year, will not report Monday, but
has sent word that he will be on
the job April /. Bonner is in
perfect condition this year, has
driven all the rheumatism out of
his system, and promises to pitch
in his old-style spectacular fash
ion.

his days with Seattle, no one could
touch him.

TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY WHEN BOB
FITZ BEAT C0RBETT; JIM'S SORE YET

SAN FRANCISCO, March IT,
Bob Fitzsimmons, who 20 years
ago today, won the heavyweight
championship from Jim Corbett, is
approaching his latest contract
with fear and trembling. In fact,
Sir Robert is not sure that he can
make weight. For the first time
in his life 1t may be necessary to
drag the mighty Cornishman into
the ring. And there's a reason.
Bob's wife is engaged in evange-
listic work. 1t appears she left
the former champion, because, as
she says, Bob's friends had made
a "bar fly out of him, much to
their domestic discomfort. But
after a 21-month separation, they
are together again and all is love-
ly.
81 don't know much about this
here evangelism business" re-
marked Bob, just after he arrived
here. But the wife wants to get
me mixed up in it and you know
how it is when your wife arsks
you to take a chawnce on any
thing. But what do you say we
go down to the far end of the
bloomin' bar room and talk it
over.?"
During Fitzsimmons' stay in
San Francisco he has spent some
time with his former enemy of the
ring, Tom Sharkey. From soup to
nuts, 1t is a love feast, and the two
man wreckers of other days are
fighting their battle over again.
But it is with hands on shoulders,
good natured word jousts and
awkward compliments as to the
others prowess.
81 never knew q man with such
a bloody big chest as you had,
Tom," said Bob.
Faith and / was afraid you wuz
a goin' to knock the head of me
off," replied Tom.
You were a bloomin' hitter
yourself, Tom"

idle Wives" which comes to
the Colonial tomorrow, is an ex-
pose Of the menace of society, dis
content, and Incidence. To hus-
bands and wives who are drifting
apart, to the shop girl who is dis
contented with her lot, to those
in comfortable circumstances who
envy those of d. greater wealth,
idle Wives" exerts a powerful
appeal.
The story was designed by
James Oppenheim, the author, to
show that discomfort is the prin-
cipal cause of the misunderstood

and the downfall of young girls.
