WASHINGTON, Dec. THE republican
party's leadership from President Hard

the Senate today by Senator Harrison,
democrat, Mississippi, VINO declared Mr..
Harding was doing the very things for
which he as a senator had denounced
President Wilson. The Presidents mes

. Constituted an appeal to partisanship
and warning to republicans TO disavoW
their allegiance to bloc organization"
Mr.. Harrison attacked the Senate re-
publican leaders. saying they had shifted
and hoped, until none OF us knew where
or when.'
Secretary Mellon also was denounced
as seeking, in his annual report OF the
treasury department to t'help along the
ideas of President Harding with respect
''to relieving the rich" of heavy taxation.
The Mississippi senator added, ''he was
panied" to see the regular session Of
Congress start of so inauspiciously, say
ing that with the appeals OF President
Harding ''for a partisan line up," it was
apparent that the policy OF abandon
ment" which characterized the extra
session would be continued.
When Mr.. Wilson opposed OF urged
legislation, Mr. Harrison continued the

Mr.. Wilson issued his appeal in 1918 for
the election Of democratic Congress,
Mr.. Harding was equally bitter in his
announcement.

cultural group to line UP, to get behind

He added. however that II might have
been that the President was calling for
the republican senators to line up and
retain the seat of Senator Newberry Of
Michigan, now under contest by Henry
Ford, in connection with the 1918 cleo
ti0n, as a matter OF party policy.

coast Of Lower California last Sunday
by the Mexican gunboat Tecate. has

best information available at the port

eight members Of the crew of the Ma

The picture is used to point moral,
while Miss MacAvoy adorns the tale.
You know this as soon as you read the
opening title, which says that Jeanne
is simple soul, who believes in the
words "honor" and "home," words too
often, alas, forgotten by the majority
of people. The titles, somehow, re-
minded us of the announcements Of the

Mrs. Lawton receiving a letter from

usual protest against her remaining
with her husband, and tells her that
she must decide now" 1t was an in
discreet letter, and we feel sure that
the villain will be caught by Nemesis.
he is, Mr.. Lawtons letter says that
people are talking about his wife and
Crosby, but the writer thinks the real
attraction is "that French girl" "The
French girl" is seen taking breakfast
with baby Betty (now grown to be
klddie), and her letter says: "Of course
snail sanction your marriage to the
good jerry if the Lawtons no longer
need you. Your first duty is to them"
Jerry is the stable manager for Mr..
Lawton, whose sole interest in life is
thoroughbred horses. When Lawton
questions his wife about Crosby she
puts the blame on Jeanne and Jeanne
accepts the responsibility out of love
for Mrs. Lawton. In the end, of course.
Jerry kills, or nearly kills, Crosby. be-
lleving him to be the lover of gentle
Jeanne.

"A Private Scandal at RivoIi
Trite; s'The $40 Raise at
Capitol Amusing
By Harriette Underhill

May McAvoy is at the Rivoli in her
first starring vehicle, "a Private
Scandal" It would seem to us, if
all We hear of the needs of "the in
terror" Je true, that it ought to be a
great attraction on the road. A pro-
ducer said to us one day last week:
ut is a problem whether to make q
picture that the New York public and
the cities will like or to make one that
will go great on the road" 1t seems
that this is taking very superior at
titude toward the people VINO live in
Iowa, as Haywood Broun says, but
everywhere we hear the same tale. Mr..
Griffith told us that Broken Bios
SONS" was financial failure in Amer
lea; that in the smaller places no one
wanted it. And James Montgomery
Flagg, whose Perfectly Fiendish
Flanagan" was a screen classic never
to be forgotten, showed us letters from
exhibitors around the country who said
that if he called that comedy either
he was crazy or they were. Mr.. Flagg

Now, do producers really try to pro-
duce something which will please peo-
pie who wish to be spared the trouble
of thinking and ask only to be allowed
to see the same old material, grown
gray in the service, dished up to them ?
Or do they have faith in their own
pictures? Do they enjoy primer-like
titles and hackneyed situations them
selves? We wondered this as we
watched the picture at the Rvoli yes
terday in which May McAvoy is nearly
wasted. With Miss McAvoy's beauty,
charm and talents what chance for a
great picture and how trite and conn
monplace is "a Private Scandal! Miss
McAvoy is cast as Jeanne Millette, a
French war orphan, who comes to Amer
ica and is adopted by q family named
Lawton, which consists of one preoc-
cupied husband, one discontented wife
end one young child (tiny tot) with
curls. Now, couldn't any one just
reach out and pluck the plot from the
nearest pigeonhole? He could, and
