The second Olive Thomas picture

Down" In The Spite Bride" Miss
Thomas as Tessa Doyle, falls prey
to Billy Swain, young man who
wants to get married in order to
turn the tables on his erstwhile fl
ancee. Billy agrees to pay Tessa
a certain sum of money if she will
go through with the plan providing
that she will divorce him imme
diately after the wedding. This she
agrees to do, but when the time
for the payment arrives, Tessa's
stage girl friend urges her to de-
mand more money than the sum
originally agreed upon. Billy re
fuses the request and he and his
friend, Rodney Dennis, kidnap the
girls and carry them off in Billy's
yacht. From that time on the hap
penings are swift and sudden, but
the end of the story finds Tessa
happier than she ever expected to
be. Miss Thomas is supported by
an excellent cast, including in add
ton to Ellis, Jack Mullhall, Claire
Du Brey, Irene Rich, Dorothy Wal
lace, Lamar Johnston and Kath-
crime Griffith. The photoplay will
be released in August by Select
Pictures, corporation.

In addition to the framework for the

HOSTILITY ABATED.
The president will also find that any
signs of hostility toward him have
vanished. Attacks on the league of
nations in the American senate have
brought about the sharpest reaction
here, with open expression that the
league will be impossible without the
United States as a member.
The Russian problem will still con-
front the allies, but the Americans and
British are clinging to the principle
that an investigation is necessary to
determine the true conditions in Rus
sia, and are maintaining their strong
stand against intervention.

ACTIONS WHAT NEEDED.
He next recommended that the ship
ping board be called upon to announce
its policy, pointing out that contracts
on numerous steel ships were being
held in allegiance on the Pacific coast
while men were unemployed.
The railroad problem must be set
tied Immediately, Piggott said, declar-
ing business is not so much interested
in what is done as it is in having
something done.
He scored congress for failure to APP
propriate money to finish the Alaskan
railroad and for not acting on Secre-

care of our returning labor on the

and said that Bolshevism is practically
impossible because conditions here dc
not compare with conditions in Eu-
