versty-and in 1916. after counsel for
the various parties interested had tried
to get them to stipulate for the division
Of the estate, the contest was tried and
the will was declared invalid by jury.
The verdict was appealed and the
Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court sent the contest back for retrial
on one ground. that of the testator's
mental soundness, after finding that his
relatives had not shown undue influ-
ence and ruling that the jury erred in
finding that undue influence had con-
trolled his mind.
Much OF the testimony heard from
witnesses at the first trial was read to
the jury on the second trial because
some witnesses had died and others
were at remote points or i'll.

He Raises $4,000.

Cohen was anxious to play the game
squarely. He offered to raise $4,000 to
invest. Mcknight promised to get s22.-
000 After that things moved swiftly.
Cohen made flying trip to New Ken
sington and mortgaged his dry goods
store. He returned with q certified
check for $4,000 on the Logan Trust
Company. but the broker would not
accept the check. He gave IL to the
First National Bank here for colec-
ton. He was told II would be ten days
before he could check on the account,
but Cohen could not wait. He notified
his home bank to wire the money here.
but first at the instigatlon of Cousins
he ordered the local bank to send the
check by express Meanwhile Cohen
was taken TO the house where the mar
ket reports were being received.
The men pointed out II. l.. Beeman's
residence on Gore avenue. Mr.. Beeman
was entertaining some friends on the
lawn of his home, and Cousins ex-
planned to Cohen that these persons
were all playing the market"
Cohens money reached the local bank
Thursday afternoon and he opened an
account there. Shortly before the clos
ing hour he returned and said he wanted
to withdraw the account-that he was
going TO buy an orange grove. The
bank officers tried to convince him II
would be foolhardy to carry so much
cash and warned him to look out for
confidence men, but Cohen became in
dignant. In order to gain time a teller
counted out the money I'm ten dollar
bills. Judge Bland. president OF the
bank, meanwhile telephoned Sheriff
Karl, who arrived just as Cohen waa
ready to leave. The Sheriff trailed
Cohen to Lake Eola. where he met
three men in an automobile. After
turning his money over to them. Cohen
left them. He was to collect his for
tune Thursday night. OF course he
never saw the men again.

Observation-Disclosures Ray
and Buster Keaton,

Two comedies, one starring Charles
Ray and the other featuring Buster
Keaton,. are presented at Crandalrs
Metropolitan Theater this week. and
afford several hours entertainment.
Rays new production, The Barn
stormer," deals with the young farmer
boy who has been reading and prac-
ticing "make-ups' for some time. He
visits nearby town and is attracted
to the 0-20-and-30-cent theater.
where production is soon to be put
on. He induces the manager to give
him place in the show and receives a
contract calling for pay of IS per
week. He returns home and an
nounces his venture into the the
atrical ranks.
All Is not as easy in the show busi-
hess as the young man had eX-
pected. but he weathers it, and the
many complications that arise to EN-
barrass him afford much amusement.
During the ton of the show
in nearby town the young actor be-
comes acquainted and falls In love
with the daughter of the town drug
gist. A hold-up Of the box Office by
bandit and his getaway with its
receipts and the jewelry of the au-
dience bring ain unexpected thrill,
but the bandit proves to be the lead
ing man of the show. and his cap
ture by the young actor serves to
halo him with glory and happiness.
Buster Keaton's funmaker. "Cops.
scream" by the way. concerns the
rejection of young suitor by the
girl to whom he has proposed mar
riage until he has become a sue
cessful business man. His subse-
quent attempt to reach that goal fur
nishes material in abundance for
laughter. and Keaton overlooks no
opportunity.
News events and the Literary Di-
gest sayings complete the program.

PALACE-Viola Dana, in "Glass
Houses"

''Glass Houses" Viola Dana's latest
shown at Loew's Palace this week,
presents the little miss in a number
of new and diverting guises. First.
she is a Russian dancer. who shyly
iuterpolates bit of jazz into intri-
cate acrobatic. steps. Next, she is
society girl with lots of pep, but
absolutely no money, and finally she
develops into an individual VINO
wears tortoise-rimmed specs, long
swishing skirts. funny high buttoned
shoes and an absurd be-ribboned hat.
1t is rather a shock to see the lovely
Viola in such an outfit, but the austere
and StudiouS effect achieved procures
uplifter" to a young college graduate.
The gentleman in. question really
doesn't want to be "uplifted" at all,
but his aunt. and. incidentally, his
financial hacker, deems 1t wise that he
should be guided away from frivolous
paths into realms of higher thought"
No one would suspect that the wiles
of the 'spectacled Viola would en-
danger his bachelor security, but
nevertheless she succeeds in anneXing
his name to hers, and the modus
operandi' furnishes the main interest
to the story. 1t does not end when
the knot is safely tied, however, for
complications and misunderstanding
ensue in startling succession. and un-
til the final fade-out the audience is
kept guessing. OF course. Miss Dana
at length emerges from her ludicrous
disguise, and every one, especially her
husband, breathes a sigh of relief.
Altogether, "Glass Houses" is thor
oughly delightful little comedy, and
the presence of Miss Dana in the cast
would make it worth while even if
the story were not so amusing and
Interesting 1t is really funnier than
the Chester Conklin comedy which
supplements 1t. A Pathe news film
and orchestral feature complete the
entertainment.

RIALTO-"The Green Tempta-
ton"

h1ALIu-"Ihe Green Iempta-
ton"
A picture replete with beauty, trag-
edy and mystery is offered in The
Green Temptation" Paramounts
screen adaptation of 1.-THE Moose" by
Constance Lindsay Skinner, at Moore's
Rialto this week. A detective story
involving the apaches of Paris. the
atrical and social life of the French
capital, the great war battlef1elds of
France and New York society, it is
thriller" all the way.
The story concerns the reformation
of Genelle, a thieving Partisan girl,
whose dancing ability gains her a
place in a fashionable theater. She Is
fainer, but under the influence OF
Gaspard, master thief, she pursnes
her low vocation.
The Green Temptation" a huge
emerald coveted by Gasparj, is stolen
by Genelle when she attends re-
ception given by the Duchesse de Cha
zarin and the jewel is fastened to
carrier pigeon belonging to Gaspard's
loft. The bird falls into the hands
of the police and they seek Coralyn,
the dancer. whom they recognize as
Genelle.
Panic-stricken, Genelle enlists as
war nurse to escape the gendarmerie,
although the great struggle means
little to her at the time. AS Jeanne
Paget, she meets and nurses back to
life Hugh Duyke-, an American
nephew of the Duchesse de Chazarin.
The horrors of the conflict awaken in
the girl a sense of decency and when
the war ends she leaves France to be-
gin life anew in America.
IN New York she is entertained by
Duyker and Capt. Allenby, British
soldier, whom she believes an unre-
formed member Of her former THEY
ing gang. At a. house party given
by Duyker she recognizes in Count
Oudry GaSpard, her former master
He still seeks the Green Temptation"
given by the duchesse to her niece,
Duyker's sister, and asks Genelle to
aid in the theft. but she refuses.
Gaspard, sure of his alias as a noble
man, tells of Genelle's past and
weakens Duykers love for her. But
Allenby stands by the girl, who is
wholly cleared when a detective kills
Gaspard as he Is trying to escape
with the big emerald.
The acting is all that can be de-
sired. Betty Compson makes an ex-
oellent Genelle and, wearing a blonde
wig, is a bewitchingly pretty dancer
and nurse Theodore Kosleff adds to
his successes in the role Of Gaspard
Mahlon Hamilton, as Capt. Allenby,
does some maSterful work. The re-
mainder Of the cast Is well above the
supporting staffs to be seen in most
