argy to view with extra ordinary in
,terest the preliminary skirmishes of
its quadrennial mayoralty election.
Although the primaries will not
be held until Septembe Is and the
election until Move mber s. the city's
millions already are ,engrossed in all
the moves presaging a contest of
unusual bitterness.
Mayor John F. Hylan. who was
swept into office on Tammany
Hall tidal wave in 1918, following
split in the Republican and coali-
, ton ranks. is a candidate to sue
coed himself. So far, no Tammany
opposition to him has appeared. AS
the city is normally a Democratic
stronghold in municipal elections
the Republicans have adopted the
usual eXpedient in recent years of
joining forces with other parties for
a fusion ticket
A coalition committee, headed by
Henry w. Taft, embracing in its
membership a number of civic and
has endeavored to guide the desti-
MES of those opposed to the mayor
At recent town meeting" the
following names were presented as
possible candidates: Henry H. Cur

borough of Manhattan; State Sena-
tor Charles c. Lockwood, Republi-
can, of Brooklyn; immigration Com
missioner Frederick A. Wallis, Dem
ocrat; Samuel Cntermeyer, coun-
sci for the Lockwood legislative
committee investigating housing
combines: George McAneny, transit
commissioner; and United States
Senator William NJ. Calder, Repub-
lican, of Brooklyn.
The fusionists, who proclaimed
| that they must present a solid front
to win, have been somewhat dis
turbed by reports that Major F. H.
LaGuardia, Republican, president of
the Board of Alderman. and former
, State Senator William M Bennett
Republican, of Brooklyn, would seek
the nomination in the primaries if
they were not endorsed by the Coali
, tionists. Both have been big vote
getters in previous elections.

the mayoralty candidate. They

Johnston McCulley wrote the story.
1t originally appeared in book form as
Little Erolinda." 1t, was purchased
by Universal from among hundreds of
stories submitted for Miss Myers, and
produced under the direction of Jack
Conway.
The story concerns young girl, the
daughter of a ranch foreman, who
loves the son of the owner of a vast
California estate. The difference in
caste restraints them until an amazing
sequence of thrilling adventure levels
! the artificial barrier of birth and
brings them together for a breath
catching climax.
Miss Myers is amazingly pretty as
Erolinda the heroine, while William
E. Lawrence has exceeded his pre-
Vious screen successes as Audre
Baldarama. P. j. Lockney, j. j.
Lance Harvey Clarke, Jean Acker
and Ed, Brady play the remaining
roles with vigor.

popularity of Miss Myers and her ad-
