New Twist to the Mother-in-Law Joke

Y OUISVILLE, KY.-The mother-in- L law joke Is so old that the ancient Egyptians used to chisel it on the walls of the pyramids as a record of the humOr of their remote ancestors. But leave it to Americans of the Twen- tieth century to give a new twist to any joke! Kentuckians are the fel- lows this time; people and manners are queer down here since the dry season set in for keeps.
 Well, anyway, getting down to the facts, Walter Thornton, 32, Paducah cooper, married his mother-in-law Thanksgiving day. The honeymoon lasted until the other day, when they were arrested on the charge of violat- ing the Kentucky statute which says, among other things, that a man shall not marry the mother of his wife. A $500 to $5.0OO fine attaches, and If such a marriage Is not terminated pen itentiary sentence is the alternative.
 Thornton married May Hale five
 years ago. Recently be obtained s

Senor Ortega and His Three Photographs

nENVER.-Senor Juan Ortega, loung- O ing over the showcase in a Lari- mer street photographic gallery re- gently. looked long and suspiciously at the three prints that Max Kepplin- ger, the proprietor of the place. had just handled him.
 "Me?" asked Juan, finally.
 Sure, Mike, them's you!" exploded Max. "Gimme 50 cents-y'underStand |? Four bits"
 Juan tossed the three prints into Max's face.
 Me? Bah!" he grunted contemptu- ously and turned to go.
 But Max wasn't mapping. He cleared counter with one leap and laid detain- ing hands on Juan's purple and orange mackinaw.
 Juan, slipping out of his mackinaw, placed a left hook on Max's nose. Max staggered and put up protective elbows, and Juan placed right swing to MaX's stomach. Dizzy, Max grab bed up pair of long shears and made a lunge at Juan. Juan lodged and grabbed fiashlight device, which he broke over Max's head.
 Max struggled to his feet, but Juan picked up the mounted burro, which Max uses to pose wild West" pie lures, and crowned the proprietor with it. Max and burro settled into trou- bled sleep together on the hard floor.

EVANSTON, ILL.--This may be the G City of Churches, but there is no reason why we shouldn't have a little healthy excitement once In a while. Anyway, prominent Evanston residents turned themselves into a posse and gave chase to pair of negroes and white youth who held up four prom iuent North side women.

Juan then ripped up the ladies' dress ing room, smashed half a hundred examples of Max's photographic art into little bits and sprinkled hypo acids literally around the room.
 Juan, to bring all to fitting climax, stuck Max's broom into the stove. AS 1t famed he carefully withdrew it, in- tending to apply 1t to the drop cur tain on which was painted scene depicting the rear end of an observa- tion Pullman, labeled Denver Spe- cial."

screen version of 'Disraeli," which
! is now playing at TIE Spencer
Square. is a star cast OF the first
magniture.
At the outset, for the benefit of
those who read and sometimes be-
lieve false reports, we must point
out that Louise HUFF, whose admir-
ers are legion, did not retire from
the screen a year ago. Miss HUFF
is the particular bright little star
in MIR. Rrliss' support in tlRs pro-
duction and, returning to the
screen after a needed rest, is far
more beautiful, more charming and
more talented than ever before. She
plays the part Of Clarissa, daughter
of the Duke Of Glastonbury, in this
picture.
Reginald Denny, who has played
opposite so many famous screen
stars recently and is one of the
most attractive young men in pic
lures, plays the role of Charles.
Viscount Deeford.
Mrs. Arliss, who plays the part
OF Lady Beaconsield, is an actress
OF rare charm and undoubted abiI-
ity and her work in support of her
husband is one of the treats of the
picture. Before her marriage to
Mr.. Arliss she was Florence Moni-
gomery. Her stage career has been
a notable one and her work in this
picture is indeed very commend
able.
Henry Carvill, a prominent Eng
lish actor, plays the part of the
Duke o. Glastonbury. He has play-
ed in a great many stage plays and
in pictures in America that fans

Mr.. Losee, who has several hum

has done his greatest work in this

Edward J. Radcliffe, another Eng
lish actor who has been closely
identified with the American stage
and screen, in cast in the role of
Sir Michael Probert, governor of the

yiable stage and screen record and
is recognized as one of the best
players in pictures today.
Margaret Dale is remembered as
leading lady for Henry Miller, John
Drew, Mr.. Arliss, and almost every
distinguished stage star OF our
times. She played with Mr.. Arliss
in "Disraeli" from the opening
night and in the picture she has
