Madge Kennedy to
Resume Pictures i'm
"Dorothy Vernon

Two interesting announcements
reached the Tribune Office TO-DAY.
The frst Is that Lady Diana Manners
is going to do screen version of
aporothy Vernon Of Haddon Hail.
The second is that Madge Kennedy is
roins to do screen version Of "Doro-
thy Vernon Of Haddon Hall" As the
n.~s from Lady Diana came from Eng
land and the news about Miss Kennedy
was issued only yesterday. it is prob
able the latter statement is correct.
Miss Kennedy, who for some time
past has been appearing on the stage
is to return to the screen via the
Kenma Corporation. composed of
prominent men. most of whom have
not previously been active in the flm
ield Harold Bolster is president and
Rufus Steele is vice-president; George
Brokaw Compton is secretary and

Announcement which the corporation
made yesterday brings to q close a
breezy episode that has caused a furry
in the fslm world for some weeks as to
who was to become the producer of
Charles Majors romantic novel, "Doro-
thy Vernon of Haddon Hall" This
novel sprang into sudden demand
among the film producers with the
present vogue OF costume pictures.
Mary Pickford instructed her agents
to procure the rights for her at about
the same time that J. Stuart Blackton.
from London, directed his attorneys to
buy the story for him to produce with
Lady Diana Manners. While both par
ties were carrying on negotiations
Madge kennedy's representatives Sc
cured transfer Of rights to them
selves for $4,000. Miss Pickford's
agents repeatedly raised their offer to
Kenma Corporation. the final bid being
$4,000. In the mean time other pro
dueers had seen great possibilities in
the old favorite. and the bidding ele-
vated the offer to $4,000 At this point
the directors of the Kcnma Corporation
decided that the story was as valuable
TO their star as to any other and de-
clincd to consider further offers.
Miss kennedy's company will pro
duce two pictures with her during the
summer. Dorothy Vernon and sec
ond picture based upon the play Dear
Me" by Luther Reed and Hale Hamil-
ton. The adaptations for both pictures
have been prepared by Rufus Steele.
The second production will follow the
first, with practically no lapse between.
Both will have all-star casts and will

New-York tribune., 1922-10-02

In that SO few similar landmarks in
the city have survived. We have
been too negligent In the matter Of
enshrining the past. Whether the
reason for this is that New York
owes it's greatness to the fact that it
always looked to the future Is hard
to tell. Certain 1t is that while the
city strobe forward II ignored the
past, and that the preservation Of
early historic monuments was left to
New England and the South, In
Boston there Is hardly n spot of his
toric interest which is not marked by
commemorative tablet, nor a house
where a great figure was born or
lived or died which has not fallen
into the care of reverent hands.
In New York, however, we do not
seem to have cared. Who Of the
throng that hurries through wall
Street knows that at No. So formerly
stood the house Of Alexander Hams
ilton? How many persons realize
that lower Broadway was once the
heart of the residential district and
contained the houses Of many famous
early New Workers.? It Is high time
to preserve the few remaining his
toric landmarks in the city and to
commemorate the sites Of those de-
stfoyed.

New York and the West

1nere is no occasion for surprise
at the report which Mr.. Julius H.
Cohen, counsel for the Port Author
lty, recently brought from the West
concerning the friendly attitude of
that part Of The country toward
plans for the commercial deyelon.
nent OF New York. It IL an old
story For Westerners Co take more
interest in this port than many New
Workers. themselves. For manv
years it was notorious that the ship
ping interests here had to look to
Representatives and Senators from
New England and from west of the
Alleghanies, rather than to those
from New York itself, for appropri-
tions for harbor improvements.
The explanation is simple. West
ern business men are shrewd. clear
sighted, practical. They realize the
paramount Importance Of New York
to them both as a purchaser of their
products and as a port Of entrance
and OF exit. They recognize in New
York both the metropolis Of the
nation as a consumer of goods and
the one port which is truly national
IN It's service. They feel that New
York Is their metropolis and their
chief port, and that it is, therefore.
TO their very practical advantage
that the commercial prosperity of
New York and its facilities for
handling foreign commerce and FOR
receiving and distributing domestic
cominerce shall be developed and pre-
NOTED to the greatest possible ex-
tent.
Nor is it surprising that The West,
excepting the states which border on
the Great Lakes, is cool and unsym-
pathetic toward the st. Lawrence
waterway. Nowhere.is the sentiment
of Americanism stronger than in the
great Valley OF Democracy" as Mr..
Nicholson has aptly called the region
between the Alleghanies and the
Rockies; nowhere is the inclination
more resolute to develop American
interests rather than those of other
lands and to keep American bust
ness as far as possible in American
hands and under the American fae
We should have been surprised and
disappointed if Mr.. Cohen had NOT
found q decided preference for New
York ever Montreal.
This attitude Of the West is graft
flying and encouraging to New York.

Historic Landmarks

The announcement that pur-
chaser has already been found for
the house in which James Monroe
died Will be welcome to all who are
interested In the preservation Of his
serlcai relics within the city limits.
Monroe was not a native New
Yorker. Despite the doctrine which
mas made his name immortal, he was
the least OF the Virginian Presidents
who exercised SO great an influence
on the early history Of our country.
Both jefferson and Madison were
men of greater ability, but Monroe
had the wisdom to rely upon both for
counsel in time of trouble. He also
was fortunate in having as his Sec
retary Of State John Quincy Adams
q gifted diplomat and man Of keen
insight into world affairs, to whom
as much as to Monroe credit is duo

Doctrine.

The World Series

| The Polo Grounds will again be
| the arena for the "world series
New York is still the only baseball
capital on the map. The baseball
world has shrunk to the dimensions
of the Borough of Manhattan.
This is as it should be. for on the
seasons showing the Giants and the
Yankees have clearly demonstrated
their superiority in the two leagues
as exponehts of modern baseball.
Early betting has favored thu
Yankees, on the theory that they are
much stronger in the box this year
than they were last. year and the
| Giants are considerably weaker. It
is argued with some reason that If
the Yankees, with only two depend
able pitchers, could win three games
out Of the first five a year ago, they
ought to be able to win four out of
seven now In the shortened series.
Hoyt and Mays, who pitched in the
three games which the American
team won, are still available. Shaw
key, complete failure in 1921. has
come back, and Bush and Jones have
been acquired to fill last seasons
fatal gaps in the pitching offensive.
Bush has been at che top of his form
this year, and he has long ranked as
one of the most effective boxmen in
the big leagues.
On the other hand, McGraw has
lost Douglas, a winner twice last Oc-
tober, and has picked up no other
star to compensate. The positions
OF the two teams are therefore re-
versed, superiority in the box having
shifted from the Giants to the
Yankees. Pitching is not every
thing, however. The Giants easily
outbatted the Yankees last year,
somewhat to the surprise of the ex-
perts. Will they again upset the
mathematics of the forecasters?
Mathematics doesn't stand up against
the breaks of the game, especially in
a short series. The variable equa-
tion in baseball makes it thrilling
and democratic. The under dog on
paper always has show in any par
ticular contest. And world series
itself would be tame and colorless
without this element of glorious un-
certainty.

The Woman Golf Champion

Golfers would justly feel ahfronted
to have their game called child's
play, yet neither Jesse Sweetser, the
mems amateur champion, nor Miss
Glenna Collett, who won the wonlen's
title so decisively on Saturday at
White Sulphur Springs, is old enough
to vote.
Miss Collett is only nineteen, but
for three years she has been playing
first rate tournament golf. Her
game is at once SO powerful and
brilliant that only women players Of
exceptional physique in addition to
skill have much chance against her.
Indeed, it is more than likely she
would qualify among the first six
teen In most Of the mems tourna-
ments. The disparity between the
sexes at golf is not very great when
girl can drive $50 yards and be
playing for "birdies" on 475-yard
holesl Such Amazonian feats strike
despair in the hearts of masculine
dufferdom.
The field which Miss Collett led IN.
cluded the pick of the American
players and some Of their British
cousins, notably Mrs. w. A. Gavin.

international flavor that we have
come to crave in major athletic con-
tests. The important absentees were
the great English players Miss
Joyce Wethered and Miss Cecil

rnisgiving can lock forward to meas
uriiag cleeks with them.

Hollins won for it last year. the cup

Delayed Limitation

The announcement that the United
States government intends to post
pone scrapping battleships under the
five-power naval agreement until the
signatories of the treaty have
ratified it will naturally meet with
the approval of all believers in a
sound policy of national defense.
This decision, however, calls atten-
tion to an unpleasant fact - that
until Italy and France ratify, naval
limitation will remain in allegiance
This is, Of course, contrary to the
general belief throughout this co,ln-
try, which is to the effect that limi.
tation of armament is already an ac-
complished fact.
All preparations to carry it out
have been made. But neither Japan
nor Great Britain nor America is
willing to proceed with it so long as
France and Italy hesitate. Italy does
not wish to risk large French navy
France holds back SO long as she and
Britain are at such odds about Con.
tinental policies. Both feel that con,
ditions in Europe are SO disturbed
that 1t Is dangerous to consider any
changes in policy for the moment.
Americans may well be sorry, but
they cannot complain of the delay
More than once they have set ar
example Of slow ratification which
others have not hesitated to follow
AThey should not forget, however
THAT until the others ratify thi:
treaty the work Of the Washington
conference remains unfinished.

The Boss and the Bench

The report is printed that Mr.
Murphy intends to deny renom;na-
tion to Justice Lehman, of the SUI
preme Court. Perhaps his expert.
ehce at Syracuse has chastened the
Tammany boss and he will have a
second thought. But no respect for
the bench, for the principle of con.
tinuing an able judge in Office, can
be counted upon to weigh toward
that end.
Mr.. Murphy showed in refusing q
denomination to Surrogate Cohaian
that he regards the judiciary as his
political prey. The principle of non
partisanship that had been built up
against the will of the bosses ever a
score Of years he has boldly tossed
out the window. In this matter, SO
vitality affecting the welfare Of rich
and poor alike, the city returns to
the worst era of Tweed and Van
Wyck.
Justice Lehman has, in the opin-
ION OF the leaders Of the bar, been an
impartial and able judge. That he is
a Democrat is an immaterial fact.
He should be continued in office re-
gardless of his politics. The Tribune
hopes that he will be. But Mr.. Muir
ply will decide for the Democrats Of
New York City. Will he again have
the boldness to defy a cardinal prin-
ciple of upright politics and sink
the bench to the level of ward
politics?

Hydro-EIectric Conservation

The wisdom Of the government e
policy of water power conservation
has been clearly brought out by the
recent coal crisis. It is true that
little of the country's available
hydro-electric power has yet been
drawn upon, but the fact that
the Federal Power Commission has
kept water-power sites out Of the
hands of selfish exploiters and yet
has aided the development Of new
power is encouraging. To protect
coal mines for future use is merely
form Of delaying consumption.
But when WATERPROOF sites are
saved for the public and developed
their value is for all time.
Until the creation of the Federal
Power Commission in 1920 the gov
ernment was content merely to pro-
tect all possible power sites. Little
was done to encourage their devel-
opment. But with the appointment
of the commission a definite policy
OF development was adopted, with
the result that during the last tive
years applications have been made
to develop, under Federal control
and regulation, more than 20,O0U,-
600 horsepower, or more than twice
the existing water-power installa-
tion in the country. Nearly one
half of this is represented in three
large projects, none Of which shows
promise OF immediate execution.
But up to June of this year
1,6s0,0o0 horsepower was com-

ifiasmuch as s5 per cent Of our
potential water power is under Fed
erai control, an ever-increasing sup
ply OF hydro4electric power may
safely be counted upon. Fortunate
iy the Federal commission is fully
aware of the Importance Of encour-
aging new developments and real
ICES that we must utilize our water
power to the fullest extent.
