THEATRES

Does it pay to be a liar-even II
said liar is beautiful?
The answer to hat question can
be found in THE Beautiful Liar"
an Associated First National attrac-
ton starring Katherine Macdonald,
which is coming to the Strand Thea
ire tomorrow for an engagement OF
three days.
Heren Haynes, stenographer in a
brokers' office, was not a liar by IN
clination. Never was there a more
honest girl.
But one day the Fates managed
started a whirligig such as the girl
had never encountered. In the
morning she had seen Bobby Bates
calling on her employer, n the
sight Of Bobby had caused HeleE's
heart to beat with unaccuStomed
rapidity. Inasmuch as Bobby a
not seen her, it looked as II the
Fates were hooking the girl-but
Another caller that day jumped
from his chair in excitement when
he saw Helen. For in her Castor
Al.egretti, manager of the exclusive
summe hotel, the Del Norte, saw
a chance to escape from a situation
which was threatening him with the
loss Of his job. His position hinsed
on his ability to get Elsie Parmelee,
the ~reigning musical comedy queen,
to take part in a society event at the
hotel, hut Elsie had declined
haughtily.
There was a striking resemblance
between Helen and Elsie. and the
astute hotel manager was quick TO
see it. He therefore proposed that
she i~mpersonate the famous actress
and in return she would receive a
| two weeks vacation at the MOTEL,
| with all the clothes she wanted.
I Helen tried to back out but
through the Vaccinations of others
she was forced to consent. She
found the role of liar to be a diff
cult and distasteful one, especially
as Bobby appeared at the hotel also,
but in the end she discovered that
it had paid her because through her
violation of the truth she found SUI
IRENE love.

HANDY DEFEATS
RALPH CERRETA
Former City Magistrate Car
ries h m by 500 Ma
jority in Primaries

TOTTENVILLE, Sept. 20:-With
incomplete eturnS received from
the lower part of Manhattan that is
included in the eleventh congress
sional district, former City Magis-
trate Joseph b. Handy is said to be
the candidate selected for congress
on the Republican ticket for the
election in November. Judge Handy
ran in both the Democratic and Re-
publican primaries yesterday for the
nomination. In the Republican pri-
maries he defeated Ralph Cerre.a.
lof R~osebank, the regular organiza-
candidate, about three to n
on Staten Island and in the Demo-
cratic primaries he opposed Daniel
J. Riordan. the present incumbent.
In the Democratic primaries in
Richmond, Riordan received a vote
OF three to one against Handy.
Handy defeated Cerreta in Rich
mond by about 500 majority.
With this lead it is not believed
that Cerreta can get enough votes
from the lower part of Manhattan
to overcome Judge Handy's lead on
Staten Island. In the eight districts
of the fifth ward of the borough of
Richmond. Handy received 261
votes to Cerreta's "a in the Repub-
iiSdu primal les anu lie WOl oul oNcl
Riordan in the same eight districts
by one vote, the result being 160 for
Handy and 159 for Riordan. Han1y
carried every district in the Repub-
lican primaries here and he also
carried four of the Democratic pri-
mary districts.
While there was no other contests
on the island for the various offices
to be filled at the fall election, at
the last minute there developed OPP
position for the selection of Demo-
cratic county committeeman in the
thirty-first and thirty-second cleo
ton districts, T~ottenville.
The name of Frank Russell was
being inserted in place of William
