"G|RL FROM OUTSIDE"
 |S. .GOLDWYM FEATURE AT THE COLUMBIA

Alaska is country which offers a never ending source of fertility to the imagination of Rex Beach. Coupled with his intimate knowledge of every detail of life as it is or was lived in Nome. back in 1900. when the great rush for gold was made to the Klon- dike he is enabled to write story rich in human interest. intensely thrilling in episodes and vividly true in char acteristics Such is his latest film ere ation. The Girl From Outside" which will be offered as the Columbia fea- ture attraction for the last times to- day.
 The Girl From Outside" has all the charm of the mysterious north added hto story which is fresh, human, huomous and poignant to the last de- gree. Its theme concerns girl whose father dies at sea on the way to Alaska. and who lands at Nome, where the -Curley Kid. one of the gang of five young crooks, takes her under his pro- tection, with the remainder of the gang establishing themselves as knights in her behalf.
 While the story is unusual in it's characterizations, it is true to the hu- manizing influence of young and pure girl cast adrift among the lawless characters of the Nome of 20 years ago.
 The Girl From Outside" is a typical Rex Beach story. cast and production and as produced by Goldwyn under the direction of Reginald Barker is conceded to be the most interesting and appealing of this authors stories so far produced in picture form.
 A special music program is pre- sented in conjunction by the Columbia 7-piece orchestra.
 The supp1ementing program numbers for today include a Pathe Review, Current Topics and Selected comedy.
 American
 Miss Pearl Sharkey Australian novelty danseuse. won a big place in the affections of Phoenix people last night when she opened her exclusive engagement at the American. The three character numbers in which she appeared were done with excep- tfonaIly artistic finesse which has sei- dom been equalled in this city. And the American, already the favorite pleasure palace of many Phoenix people. has now become supreme with those who appreciate all forms of dance art.
 The striking costumes which the dainty dancer wore added interest to her exhibition and her appearance on the floor was each time the signal for instantaneous applause.
 Those who missed the opportunity to become acquainted with the talented little artist last night will have an- other chance on Wednesday, for she will again dance for the Americans

MARYDEN|ESMOORE
GOT PAY IN DIVORCE
Movie Star Says Her Husband
lust "Happened Along"
He Is Silent.

Los ANGELES, CAL. April 3.-The
wedding of Mary Pickford and Doug
las Fairbanks already has been
marred by one dark cIoud-the in
vestigation by Assistant Attorney
General Richards, OF Nevada, into the
divorce of Miss Pickford from Owen
Moore, which made possible her later
marriage.
Legal opinion here and in Nevada
Is that the Pickford divorce is "void-
able" but not void" that IL action
is taken to set 1t aside Mary may
still nnd herself the legal wife OF
owen Moore,
Miss Pickford Indignantly denies
that there was any collusion in her
divorce or that the coincidence" by
which Mr.. Moore happened" to be
in Mindeen to be personally served In
cumstance.
Il told the Judge" said Miss Pick
ford, that intended to make Nevada
my home. That Is true. The ranch
near Minden is the place where / in
tend to settle down when do. OF
course, my pictures take me away
from there and expect to travel in
Europe, but there was no attempt to
hoodwink anyone.
"The stories that Mr.. Moore was
paid to accept personal service and
agree to the divorce are absurd and
an insult to him.
owen Moore. Mary's former hus-
band, has consistently refrained from
saying a single unkind word about
her.
"I have never received, directly or
indirectly. a single dollar from Mary"
he said. "She has had her career
and have had mine. / sacrificed
much that she might make the most
OF her opportunities She says I said
many things about her mother. That
is true. I said many harsh, but true,
things about Mrs. Smith, and II was
her fear that l would come between
Mary and herself that formed much
unhsppiness in the life OF Mary.

been and always will be the most
wonderful girl In the world to me.

CHILE REJECTS
INTERVENTION
South American Republic Re-
plies to Note Asking Peru.
/ Bolivia Mediation.

Chile will not accept intervention
IN any controversy and has SO in
formed the United States in a note
which was made public today by the
State Department.
The note was in reply to one from
this government urging that Chile
use her good offices to prevent any
trouble between Peru and Bolivia.
The note. after stating that Chile
does not intend to accept Intervention
in any controversy, states that the
Chilean government Is satisfied that
the attitude of this Government is
one limited to friendly council"
Secretary Of State Colby today made
public a summary Of the note ex-
changed between the Chilean foreign
office at Santiago and the American
Ambassador.
This exchange indicates the warm
and cordial feeling existing between
the two countries and Is further
proof that there was not the slight
est Interpretation on the part of
the Chilean government of the pur-
pose and intent of the note sent by
the Government of the United States
to Chile in connection with the con-
troversy that had arisen between
Bolivia and Peru with reference to
the port of africa.
The note of the minister Of foreign
affairs of Chile emphasizes the sim
cere and unalterable desire of the
Chilean government to maintain peace
on the American continent, and con-
demns any attempt to stir up inter-
national strife.
The note then refers to the assur-
ance given to the Chilean ambassador
at Washington by the Secretary OF
State Of the United States that the at
titude OF the United States in the re-
cent emergency was the same as that
taken by President Wilson in 1918
when a similar situation had arisen
between Chile and Peru. namely, "an
attitude limited to conciliatory coun-
Gil without any idea of bringing
pressure to bear nor of intervening
in any form whatsoever further than
an offer of good offices asked for by
both parties"
The note then proceeds to state
that Chile has never accepted inter
vention, and is able without boasting
to say that I'VE would neither accept
Intervention in the Tacna-Arica con-
troversy nor in any other controversy
that might arise between Chile and
any other power"
