Three Actresses in
Varied Matrimonial
Adventures Of Day
Pauline Frederick Marries, Ray
Cox Is Betrothed and FRITZ
Schef Seeks Freedom

A wedding, an engagement and suit
for separation, the principals of which
are all theatrical stars, were announced
yesterday on Broadway.
Pauline Frederick and Willard Mack
had been married, Ray Cox had be-
come engaged and FRITZ Scheff had
started to get unmarried, or at least to
be separated again.
Harvey James Flint it was who took
out a license to marry Miss Cox. He is
one of the department heads at the
Goldwyn Picture Corporation and
comes from Providence, where he was
well known athlete.
Miss Cox and Mr.. Flint have both
been married before, Miss Cox having
divorced her first husband and Mr..
Flint having been divorced in 1916.
From Washington came the news
that Pauline Frederick and Willard
Mack had been married there yester-
dav. As with Miss Cox and Mr.. Flint,
it is the second attempt for both Mss
Frederick and Mr.. Mack, the bride Of
Yesterday having been divorced from
Frank NJ. Andrews, architect OF the
Hotel McAlpin, in 1909. The bride
groom had been divorced by Marjorie
Rambeau, now starring on Broadway.
The new Mrs Mack has long been
known as one of the most beautiful
women on the stage, and Mr.. Mack
has been both one of the most prolinc
as well as cleverest writers Tor the
stage and one of the best known
actors on il. His most popular play
is Kick In"
George Anderson. husband of FRITZ
SchefT. was playing in Providence,
/ when he was served with papers.
Miss Scheff in 1913 obtained divorce
from John Fox, jr., a novelist, and q
few months later married Anderson.

House Action
On Suffrage
Elates Women
Leaders Foresee End of Fight
in Creation Of Federal
Committee

| New York sufragists were jubilant
yesterday, not so much over the favor
| able action taken by the House on Mon
day TO create a woman suffrage COM
| mittee as they were over the pro-
| suffrage sentiment Of the Representa-
| tives as shown by the action.
We were expecting to get the COM
! niittce," said Miss Rose Young, pub
licity chairman of the National Ameri-
| can Woman Suffrage Association, yes
| terday, "but we are particularly graft
, fed that such men as Blanton. of Texas,
| and Cantrill, of Kentucky, got on their
| feet to make speeches for us. Mr..
| Blanton always has been Indifferent
| and Mr.. Cantrill has been strongly OPP
posed to suffrage. The vote on the
| House committee was the largest ma
| jorty suffrage ever Aot in the House
, and is another straw to show the way
the wind is really blowing"
At Washington Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, president of the national associa-
ton, said yesterday:
1--WE are extremely gratifed that the
committee for which we had asked has
been established by so handsome a ma
, jorty. We are approaching our last
battle in the fifty years war for wom-
an suffrage. IL is unthinkable that the
United States will submit its women
,, 10 humiliation when Great Britain and
Canada honor their women with a
voice in the government. The next
step in this country will be the vote
on the Federal woman suffrage amend
ment, which we confidently expect will
pass both houses of Congress before
next March"
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw. honorary
president of the organization and act
ing chairman of the women's commit
tee of the Council of National Defence,
gave out the following statement from
Washington:
1.-THE action of Congress shows that
il is keeping abreast of the times. BY
creating this committee IL is expressing
its willingness 10 treat fairly the Fed
oral woman suffrage amendment"
At present the personnel of the COM
mittee TO be formed is a matter of
speculation. All the members of the
committee. of course will be sufrag-
lists. Miss Rankin will doubtless be a
member, and such Representatives as
Mondell, of Wyoming; Raker, of Cali
fornia; Anthony. of Kansas; Heating,
Of Colorado, and Hayden. Of Arizona,
all Of whom are among the suffrage
"old guard" in the House, are eligible
for membership.

On the Screen
First Nighter Amazed by Chill.
drcn in Aladdin and Won
derful Lamp"

If comparisons are not always odious,
they are at least dangerous. So "Alad-
din and the Wonderful Lamp" which
opened at the Globe Theatre Monday
night, shall not be compared with any
other production.
1t shall merely be stated that we en-
joyed it more than anything we have
seen this season, because it is filed
with delicious, subtle humor. furnished
by some totally unconscious, Incredibly
clever children. A perfectly well be-
haved first night gathering Of persons
quite forgot themselves and became
enthusiastic. They marvelled out loud.
Look at those children! Aren't they
wonderful? Did you ever see anything
so cunning?" were heard on all sides.
Francis Carpenter and Virginia Cor
bin became stars over night when they
appeared in Jack and the Beanstalk,"
the first of the Fox children's features,
and they deserve their stardom IL ever
any one did. Aladdin and the Won
derful Lamp" is lar more pretentious
than was Jack and the Beanstalk," and
the children are much more in evil
dence.
Francis, who is five years old, plays
Aladdin. Virginia, who is six months
younger, is the beautiful Princess Badr
al Budur. Do these babies really un-
derstand such emotions as love, jeal-
ousy and despair? Certainly they por-
tray them, but how is it possible for
them 70 realize what they are doing
They play with the utmost abandon,
perfectly free from all awkwardness
or constraint, and Francis and Virginia
are not the only marvellous infants in
the production, either.
There are Violet Radcliffe, the villain,
and the three little Messenger children,
Buddy. Gertrude and Marie. Gertrude,
as Yasmini, the lady-in- waiting, whites
away the Princess's tedium by doing
an Oriental dance which is enough to
make Terpsichore himself jealous.
Hundreds of children appear in the
production, which is extremely spectac-
ular and beautiful. The spectators are
first introduced to Bagdad and then
taken far out into the desert. Mr.. Fox
has spared no expense TO make the pict-
ure perfect in every detail, but it is
the wholesomeness of the production
and the splendid work done by the
Youthful Thespians which make il so
thoroughly enjoyable.
The picture was directed by C. NJ.
and s. A. Franklin and scenarioized by
Bernard McConville.
Elsie Ferguson will be the guest OF
honor ut the opening of Marcus Loew's
new Victoria Theatre Monday even
ing, where her picture "Barbary Sheep"
will be shown.
The new theatre is on 125th Street,
near Seventh Avenue. 1t is Loew's
costliest and largest theatre in New
York. The new theatre cost sl,l10,00O.
II is finished in marble, rose and gold.
II will have vaudeville and photoplays.

TIE CAST

Here Comes the Bride" sets a rapid
pace in risque farce with kuockabout
Accomplishments. The laughter it wrung
from a sophisticated first night audi
ence was obviously genuine. 1t has
plenty of plot, plenty Of new business
and top-notch second act of its kind,
together with bits Of tedium at both
start and finish.
The information got about somehow
that the piece had required good deal
of doctoring by both consultants before
it was ready for Broadway, and the
earlier moments seemed to indicate
that If the patient had ever been cured
1t must have suffered n relapse, but
then the convalescence set in, with the
result that the audience was reduced to
helpless, spasmodic laughter that got
complete control of their muscles.
Most young men about town finding
themselves in Frederick Tiles position
Office furniture seized, dropped from
their clubs and roughly repudated by
the irate father of as charming a girl
as Ethel Sinclair-would doubtless have
grasped almost any opportunity TO
make 100000. SO Tile accepts an un-
usual opportunity to marry an un-
known woman, with prospects of a
speedy divorce, in order that she may
acquire an extra 100000 through an
eccentric will. At the end Of year
he expects TO be free 20 wed according
to his inclinations, but many unfore-
seen obstacles are due to arise.
The opening scenes have a touch of
burlesque that is disappointing, but
they give place to business more
worthy of such modern Mol6res as
MARGIN and Atwell. The marriage
ceremony in Tiles Office is capital
piece of mummery, with the bride
yelled 10 the point Of opacity and a
Judge with a sonorous but impeded
voice. The act ends with the groom
keenly expectant.
That night both Tile and Miss SIN
clair happen in for the night at the
home OF James Carlton, to whom
Ethel's sister Nora is secretly engaged.
Neither knows at first that the other
is there. BY strange coincidence
their hosts do not return. When they
discover each others presence a quar-
rel ensues, because Tile cannot explain
his sudden unwillingness TO marry
Ethel In the morning their friends
arrive and offer congratulations on
the strength of accounts of their mar
riage in the newspapers.
Francine Larrimore as Ethel makes
the most enchanting Of near-compro-
missed ladies in the recent drama Of
propinquitous sleeping quarters. Both
pretty and chic, she manipulates a pink
and blue silk bed puff which she has
snatched up as a mantle with COM
bination Of coquetry, discretion and
dexterity that is a marvel TO the mere
male person. Hawkins, the butler,
demonstrates his unimpeachable high
life training by lack of any great sur
prise at discovering the unconventional
tete-a -tete even the queens of his

After to-day thousands who sub
scribed 10 the governments war loan
last spring will know what a Liberty
bond looks like and how il feels 10 have
actual possession Of one. The bond
exchange department, OF the Federal
Reserve Bank at 80 Wall Street Is
ready to begin exchanging Liberty
bond engraved certificates for interim
certificates and receipts for psid-up in
stalments.
None of the bonds will be given out
to-day for the reason, it is explained,
that it will take at feast day TO pass
on the applications Of those who de-
sire coupon bonds. Applicants for reg
istered bonds probably gill have TO
wait several days. or until the name OF
the purchaser and the number Of his
bond are duly recorded by the Treas
urp Department at Washington.
Although the printing presses in the
Bureau of Engraving at Washington
have been running day and night for
weeks past, the Treasury Department
has not been able yet to supply the
full number of bonds needed for de-
livery in this Federal Reserve Dis
trict. The total number Of bonds
ordered in various denominations, &C
cording to c. II. Platner. in charge OF
the exchange department, was 100000
and less than 100000 have been re-
ceived. The officials at Washington,
however, have promised that the re-
naming bonds will be supplied as fast
as the applications for them can be
