when more than 100000 copies OF

Sander rises like Banquo's ghost
and claims that he Is the autnor
of this tear-jerking ballad. He
has brought suit against Joseph
P. Katz in the United States Dis
trict Court, seeking to en1oin 'katz
from further publishing this song.
But KATE has in turn retained
attorneys, because he declares
that. Sander is as much the
author of ELI Eli" as he is Of

Just Wild About Harry" In their
answer to Sanders complaint, the
lawyers declare on behalf Of their
client that the song is almost as
old as the Hebrew persecution.

Lubitsch and Mary
Go Separate WAYS

Much mystery is the order of
the day in Los Angeles. And it's
all on account of Herr. Ernst Luz

director, who was considered by
all Europe as the finest movie
product ever turned out by Ger
many. He came to America for
Famous Players. did one picture.
wanted to- go home again, signed
with the Warner Brothers, and
the rest is all mystery.
You see,' to begin with, Ernst
was imported direct or director
from Germany by Jesse Lasky for
the express purpose of directing
Mary Pickford in a new picture.
If this picture was successful, it
was understood, Herr Lubitsch
was to continue working hand in
hand. with the famous Mary. Ac-
cordingly, Lubitsch packed his
baggage and was soon sailing mer-
rily over the bounding main.
Arrived in this fair land, Herr
Ernst Immediately signed a con-
tract with Famous Players sr1d
then moved on to the coast in or
der to start on his first picture
for Mary Pickford Fairbanks.
But it is whispered that Herr
Ernst's various troubles started
right then and there. Mary had
chosen Dorothy Vernon Of Had
don HalT' for her next vehicle on
the screen. Herr Ernst threw up
his hands in horror. Direct such
a thing like that? He, Ernst Luz
bitsch, known the world over as
one Of the greatest directors that
ever lived? He should say not.
Faust" was his choice, and moth
ing else but.
Well, after long arguments pro
and con, both Faust" and "Doro-
thy Vernon" were relegated to the
scrap heap, and 1.-THE Street
Singer" was chosen in their stead
Lubitsch directed Mary in this
new picture, but things evidently
did not go so well, for immediate
ly upon its conclusion, Herr Ernst
and Jesse Lasky terminated their
contract by mutual agreement"
Lubitsch then packed up his lit
tie trunks and was all set to sail
back home again, when suddenly
it became known That the Warner
Brothers were pushing pretty con-
tracts in Herr Ernst's grim coun-
tenance. This must have acted
like a tonic on Ernst. Fact Is, it
must have been Teutonic, for, ac-
cording to all reports, Lubitsch
has signed with these self-same
Warner Brothers and will hence
forth direct for them exclusively.
Maybe they promised to let him
do Faust" some time in the fu-
ture? Who can tell?

Colonial Beach, "Washington's

piers were crowded and scores
were out on the Potomac in boats.
One OF the most popular diver
stoRls was the excellent salt water
bathing. Sokolov's Orchestra fur

at the beach and on the steamer.
The st. Johns will make anoth-
err trip this afternoon at 2:30

One of the INCEST things about
After the Rain is Its failure
to live up to its name. The title
insinuated that the piece might

misunderstood motives with time

cloud has lining and after the
rain comes the sunshine, and win
every one please look at the bright

Is a simple tale Of love, in a. race

and some realism as to setting

enough, pleasant things happen
