Lovers of romance will want to know that "Thorns and Orange Blos- soms' opened Saturday at the AL cazar theatre and that 1t Is film of excellence in every respect, ac- cording to advance notices. Those who have long waited for this world famed story by Bertha M. Clay, novel, to reach the screen will be thorough ly satisfied by the interpretation given 1t by B. P. Schulberg, president of Preferred Pictures, and by Louis Cashier. who directed it. 1t Is claimed.
 The very setting of the story breathes romance. Sunny Spain, land of roses, dark eyes and the clink or castenets. Is portrayed in scenes of great beauty, 1t Is said. Then the action shifts to New Orleans, where fine old southern homes replace the background of picturesque Madrid.
 In addition to the contrast of set- tings there is the interesting pref erence to be drawn between two feminine types. Estelle Taylor is an alluring senorita while Edith Rob-

usually the case. that these two rare ly saw each other.
 After while this condition grew worse. Each seemed to have found separate amusements. and soon there was very little in common except the children. In short the couple grew apart.
 Then they grew secretive and each withheld from the other many things that might have best been talked about.
 sNow these two are before the courts, asking to be separated, legal ly. and each is accusing the other or breaking the vows of matrimony. It Is a case of the pot calling the kettle black"
 In the meantime there are the chill dren, the innocent victims of this matrimonial melange.
 And the man who was telling me this incident claims there Is nothing to blame but "too much prosperity. This couple were very happy together until they had the wherewithal to get away from each other. And therein lies the tragedy of many blasted home.
 IL IS lTib that poNcily upco o'iio times keep people together who otherwise would drift apart. As this man has put it, having so much money, just simply turned their heads. They did not look at life through the right lens. They had no perspective and they could not see to what they were drifting.
 q am firmly convinced if this cou- pie had not grown suddenly we'll to-do, they would not be facing di- vorce now, and accusing each other of all the crimes in the calendar"
 There is considerable to be said on this contention. While poverty is not the means of always keeping people together, and certainly not the state to be desired, there is such thing IS keeping a mental balance in times Of prosperity, that holds people togeth- CT. and thus prosperity rather helps than hurts.
 I am told that this couple down deep within them really love each other. but they have just had their fling" At any rate it has brought

TOO MUCH PROSPERITY
Fly SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

A man was telling mo the other day the pltiful story of relative who is in great distress and he planes all the trouble on too much prosperity.
 The story Is this-a young couple started out very modestly in a three- room flat. He was earning very little when they were married, and they had three children during these early struggles. They loved each othr and were very happy.
 The man was what is termed hustler" and succeeded in getting better and better in his business ev- cry day. Pretty soon he was able to get into an enterprise of his own and he had to work constantly to pay for this business and get on his feet as it were.
 His wife proved a great help mate to him and they got along famously. Things came easier for her. 1t was possible for her to procure help for the children and they refurnished their home to meet their means. They were able to entertain friends and to be entertained.
 By and by the woman came to know a number of lady acquaint- ances and enjoyed many a party with them. On such occasions. very often, the husband would go out with his friends: thus it often happened, as is been brought up and will be cancelled April 1, but the stars themselves have talked frankly with intimate friends and these changes may be confidently expected, Moreover. It would surprise no one if the long threatened break between Adolph Zukor and Jesse Lasky, respectively president and vice president of the Famous PlayersLasky corporation, is now due. Hollywood will not be surprised if Al Kaufmann, now in New York. were to succeed Mir. Lasky as manager of the west coast studios here. MT. Kaufmann has success fully acted as European manager for the concern and has been mysterl- ously recalled from Berlin.

 Mary's New Play.
 Just because no one has ever even imagined Mary Pickford in the pa-t of a Spanish dancing girl, Mary is sure the public will like her new play. She has just started work on "Rosita." play Of Spanish court and peasant life of the fifteenth cen tury. The drama which Ernest Lub- itch dug out of the bottom of his trunk was written by a Berlin dra matic critic and is said to be color ful and gripping. Holbrook Blinn will play the part of the King of Spain and Chevalier is being im- ported from Paris for the part of Hero. After "Rosita' is finished Mary will rush through q production of Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" and then she and Douglas Fairbanks and fifty invited guests will sail around the world on the chartered liner Persia.
 POla NcEri's Work.
 Oid I>cSll HOW pussy WOfkl1lS on The Cheat" is to fall heir to q costly manuscript which the ParamourA Pictures corporation purchased early last year for Valentino. This play is nothing less than the Spanish Cava Her" which is to be partially rewrit- ten in order to give the womans part the predominating footage in the finished film. The title will prob ably be changed "The Spanish Cav alier' was originally Don Caesar De Bazan." It was written in the middle of the last century by Adolph Dennery. author of '"The Two Or phans," and was stage success at intervals for many decades. The de- cision to give Pola Negri the Valen- tino play will afford the public chance to compare Pola and Mary Pickford as Spanish dancing girls. Antonio Moreno will be Miss Negri's leading man.
