MOTHER.IN-LAW FILM.
Princess Picture Reverses Generally
Accepted View of Husbands Mother.

"Mothers-in-Law," at the Princess
this week is story that is true TO
life. Edith Yorke, as MON" Win
gate plays her part as she has in many
pictures. As Il Mother-in-La she
turns out TO be a mother.
All the characters played their parts
well. Ruth Clifford, as Wanna
Courtleigh. is taught a lesson not to
kiss another man after she is married..
For doing so. the mother-in-law takes
the baby from her until she reforms.
Instead of reforming she makes Il riis-
take by thinking that her husband is
making love to her friend Ina Philips,
played by VIOLA Dale.
Nianna's husband. David Wingate,
played by Castor Glass is always
misunderstood. When showing a birth
day present for his wife 10 another
woman his wife secs him, but thinks
he is giving il to her.
Allen Van Buren,. played by Crau-
furd Kent. was the villain. In every
way he could he made Wanna believe
that David was deceiving her. When
he did MON" Wingatc found il out
and he got the worst beating in all
his life. Wanna found out what Il
brute and villain Van Buren, was and
how good Nom" Wingnte was; she
was sorry for everything that she had
done.
The whole story is played well and
all of it is true to life. Wanna found
out that MON" Wingate was not a
nagging motherAin-law, but a real
mother.
Another good picture on the pro-
gram was a four reel historical play
given by the Yale University. The
name is "Columbus.' The costumes
and the ships are those of five CEN
turtles ago. \ large cast is used to
make the picture.
The remainder of the Princess pro-
gram is Aesop's Fables and Interna-
tional News, Good organ music also
featured.

DENIAL UPSETS

N. Y. REF0RMERS
Pittsburg Papers Say
Greb Knew He Would
Be Loser =
By HENRI Y L. FARRELL
UNITED Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Harrv
Greb, middleweight champion, de-
MED in letter sent to all the New
York newspapers that he had been
made the victim of fixed Judges -
when he lost to Gene Tunney in
Madison Square Garden Monday
night.
This denial probably will upset
the plans of a group of reformers
who were prepared to make material
out of his alleged charges for a
fight at Albany to repeal the box
ing law.
After writing a denial that he had
made charges against the judges
and the New York commission, Greb
followed with the statement "while
1 personally thought I had won,
the majority thought l lost and 1
accept the decision
When a statement, alleged to
have been made by Greb was print
ed in New York, the boxing COM
mission passed it over lightly as
having been made in anger and the
commission said it was satisfied
with the statement male by Greb
to one of the commissioners more
than an hour after the fight, in
which he said he had no complaint.
1t was learned, however, that his
alleged charges were to BE- sed j.:
an effort to repeal the boxing law
and the commission felt the need of
some action.
Pittsburgh papers carried stories
that Greb knew three days before
the fight that he'could not win and
much was made over the fact that
the "wise money! was being dump
ed on Tunney at 2 to l, although
on form the two boxers should have
been an even bet.
