ADJUSTMENTS
Regarding the Star
Marie Provost

Who, that has ever seen bathing
She was the queen of the beach for
several seasons at Long Beach, Calf.
Now she comes to the Colonial
Theatre today in "a Partisan Sean
dali" her third starring production
for Universal.
In comedy drama she is rapidly
taking a place in the top rank. The
long years of training in comedy,
added to which are an attractive per-
sonality and an instinct for clever
interpretation, have given her a Won
derful preparation for roles such as
she has in "A Partisan Scandal"
She will be seen in this as the
daughter of a French count and a
Parisianized American woman. Her
grandmother in America is worried
about the manner in which she is
being raised,
The grandmother's ward, Basil
Hammond, cold FLOODED young
student of most of the 'ologies, goes
to Paris to learn a new 'ology. He
promises his aged guardian that he
will also study her granddaughter
and render her a detailed written
report of what the young lady's up
bringing has brought her to in Paris.
When he meets the young lady he
does study her-and learns a lot more
than he ever expected to learn about
any young woman.
Mother O. Dreams" is a big two
reel feature starring Tom Santschi.
Santschi has been a film favorite so
long that commentator on his splen-
did work seems almost a waste of
adjectives.
International News and Topics of
the Day, round out a great big pro-
gram. Not forgetting the Colonial

Appointed i'll Suit Brought
bv Armstrong

In an action brought by Frank c.
Armstrong, formerly associated in box
ing contests with Tex Rickard. Justice
Guy yesterday appointed John Ring
Ing, circus owner, and Allan Lexow,
as receivers for Richard and his two
enterprises, the Madison Square Gar
den Corporation and the Madison
Square Garden Sporting Club.
Mr.. Armstrong is suing for an ac-
counting from Rickard of the profits
OF some OF the latter's boxing promo
tions, in which the plaintiff alleges he
was interested, but from which he
did not receive the profits he was en-
titled to. The application for a re-
ceiver was part of the Armstrong
action, so the assets of the defendant
and his corporations might be con-
served and kept in the jurisdiction of
the court.
Mr. Ringing, one Of the receivers,
is sub-iessec Of Madison Square Gar
den, of which Rickard is the lessee.
.Irstice Guy fixed the bond of the re-
ceivers at 100000.

will appeal the decision of Supreme

moter said in his own defense that at
no time since he took control of the
Garden was Frank c. Armstrong, who
asked for the appointment of the re-
ceivers, a partner or interested in any
way in the Garden.

Wife Was Jealous
Of Trade Pictures,
Wilkinson Charges
Threatened TO Shoot Him,
Declares Husband; Tells
Of Her Alleged Infatsra-
ton for w. T.. Schlcmmer

William j. Wilkinson, wealthy photo
engraver, filed counter claim for
separation in the Supreme Court yes
terday to the separation action brought
by Mrs. Wilkinson.
Mr.. Wilkinson relates that one night
he took from his dcsK some photo
graphic plates of nude models printed
by his firm. whercupon his wife, in
jcalous rage, threatened him with a
revolver.
In his reply to the action Of Mrs.
Wilkinson, in which the husband makes
denial of her allegations, he alleges
that his wife has been infatuatcd with
William +. Schlemmer, hardware
merchant. Wilkinson also refers to
an occasion when he administered
beating to Schlcmmer when the latter
was found in the company of Mrs
Wilkinson in a taxicab.
The Wilkinsons and the Schlcmmers
had residences in Great Neck, l.. L.,
and thus they became friendly. In
1918, says Mr.. Wilkinson, Mr.. Schlem-
mcr confided to him that he did not
care for his own wife, but that he had
prcmising, however, that he would re-
frain from associating with her.
Subsequently, the two couples met
on trip to Europe. They returned
together from abroad and on the
steamer, says Mr.. Wilkinson, without
the knowledge of either himself or
Mrs. Schlemmer, his wife gave a party
in honor of the hardware man.
"Both the defendant Wilkinson
and Mrs. Schlemmer,' says Mr.. Wilkin-
son, "strenuously objected to the
actions of the plaintiff and Mr.. Schlem-
mer, but without result, the plaintiff
stating to the defendant that her feel
ings toward Schlemmer were simply
sistorly, and that she felt sorry for
Schlemmer because his wife was crazy
and treated him badly"
Since June 13, 1921, Mr. Wilkinson
alleges, his wife and Mr.. Schlemmer
have been daily in each others com
pany and that on June &c his wife
abandoned him, although he had always
been kind and considerate husband.
